History Of Orange In United States The beginning of the orange ?*an bo traced an far back hh ancient days when the Arabs found both the sweet and the bitter variety df the fruit growing in the far interior of India, says J. N. McBride, general agrlcuitural agent of the Seaboard Hallway, whose department has been active for yours in promoting the growing of oranges throughout Florida. The ArabH then took this sweet orange, later to be called tho China orange, into Persia and Syria and the bitter variety or tho Seville Into Arabia, the north of Africa, Spain and Egypt. Mr. McBride does not believe that the China orange orginuted in China, because Marco Polo would have mentioned It. That world traveler was also a keen reporter of everything he saw and heard. Polo did not mention the orange in his writings. From Spain the sweet orange was carried to Sicily, Portugal and the West Indies and was brought to North America by the early Spanish and Portugese voyagers. Humboldt tells about the time he was traveling along the KIo Cedeuo in the midst of a great forest when he came across a wide belt of orange trees. He later learned that this forest had been planted by the early Aboriglnoes from seeds obtained from the Spanish Conqulstadores. The orange groves of Florida have come from these same orange groves. It w?b Ponce de Leon who directly Introduced the orange Into Florida, but It was only In comparatively recent years that the fruit has been one of Florida's major products. The reason for this 1h, says Mr. McBride, that Florida was Tor so many years In the jKissesslon of various nations that a definitely-formed system of agriculture could not exist. A few p< opie did raise oranges on a small scale ther inland than in the northern section of the state. William Bartram in his book published In 1791, states that In 1773 there were orange groves along the St. Johns river from Jacksonville as far south as DeLand but the fruit was not grown on a commercial Bcale. The only method of transportation at that time was by boat, but building of a parent company of the Seaboard into Florida a little less than a hundred years ago has resulted In this and other fruits being shipped by fast freight in refrigerator cars to all parts of the union The growing of oranges and other citrus reached a commercial scale In j 1870 and by 1884, productoin had increased to approximately 600,000 boxes a year The only citrus fruit [planted during the ten years between 11870 and 1880 were oranges chiefly in Duval. St Johns, Volusia. Putnam, Alachua and Marion counties For the past thltry years the citrus section of Florida has been moving i southward and many Improvements J have been made in cultural methods and In controlling diseases and insects Perhaps the greatest strides, Mr McBride states, have been In harvesting. packing and shipping the (crop I One of the earliest Florida pioneers in orange growing was an Englishman by the name of John Eaton. Ho served in the American army during [the war with the Seminole Indians [ and in 1837 nt the close of the war] took his 160 acres of land given him by the goverment He accepted lands on the St Johns River In Homestead county and decided to end his days there One day he budded some fifty wild orange trees which were thought little of in those days Almost before I he knew it he had a thriving orange I grove and upon his death, his orange trees were worth considerable mon> > ?
