a eS TARE g FAS SRT ML ~ \ » A ---- Florida--The Tourist Magnet (Continued from from page) The Citrus Fruits It is said that over $300,000,000 is invested in the citrus industry in Florida, and it is paying twenty per cent. profit on the investment. Oranges of many varieties, lemons, ig ponderosa and immense grapefruit flourish everywhere. The* * 4ruit is picked and hauled to- market in great, trucks, and is as plentiful as apples are in Ontario, Nova Scotia and British "Columbia oxchirds. Frost is the greatest enemy," ~The samp.es of these fruits which were brought to Port ¢ Perry were most: delicious. The grapefruit are particularly- large and of very fine quelity. Be The Bok Singing Tower Dot The Bok singing tower is tlie most notable and beautiful monument in Florida. "Those who are able to gain the _ privilege of ascending to.the top of the tower never forget the beauty of the vista revealed to them from that eminence, the highest point in all Florida (324 ft. ) For thirty miles in every direction is a scene of rolling country, thickly carpeted. with the glossy green of orange and grapefruit groves, broken at innumerable spots by the glittering blue of a thousand lakes. In the very top of the tower are hung 71 bells of the carillon, the largest and finest set of bells in the world. The largest bell weighs eleven tons, and the smallest' 12 pounds. They - have a musical range of four and a half octaves. From the middle of Decembér until the middle of April the bells of the carillo. ring out over the countryside. Programs of gay modern pieces, classical compositions, and sacred music are given, the character verying with the day, the hour, the: occasion. On "Faster Sunday the outdoor religious sefvice held in a clearing adjacint to the Singing Tower, and fre- quently draws a congregetion of 5000-or more. . + The tower is 52 feet =quare at the base, rising in tapering outline to a height of 205 feet, and a diameter of 37 feet at top. Its walls, outside of its steel frame, are of grey and pinkish marble, carved into graceful shapes and symbolic surface de- signs. It stands on a small island surrounded by a water- filled moat. .Between the great north doors of the tower (of hammered brass), and the waters of the moat, is the grave of Edward Bok, former editor of the Ladies' Home Journal. Other Vegetation Cocoanuts grow everywhere in Florida. They are not native to the peninsula, hut are the offspring of a shipload of " cocoanuts wrecked off the Florida coast®in 1880. Hin pples ~grow profusci 7 in Southern Florida. For years the shipment of this fruit irom May "15 to July 10 required a daily solid train of fifty to seventy freight cars--as high as a million crates a year. But the industry was ruined by competition: from Cuba and Hawaii. Bananas are grown in Florida; but not on-a commercial basis. Watermelons, grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, and carly vegctables-are staple crops. per iabne "Tobacco and Cigars A very flourishing industry is the growing of tobacco and the manufacture of cigars. One of the world's largest factories is situated in Jacksonville, having an output of a million and-a half cigars a day. ~ : TR tr pe WR A . . ) . _-.

This is par- ticularly true in St. Petersburg. There the, churches are numerous and all are well attended.

But even if you are late, you may still enjoy the service, for there is ample seating accommodation and loud speakers, 'There are even collection plates outside, which are generously filled by this overflowing congregation.
