This was more forcibly and posi- tively proven to be the nearest frost - proof section in the county. if not the state at large, during the big freeze of 1894 when practically the whole state was frozen, and Frostproof wag only slightly dam- aged, and the fortunate pioneer citi - zens of Frostproof shipped their fruit the very next year at a won- derful profit. Since that date Frostproof has slowly but steadily advanced in her magnificent citrus fruit industry. It seems to be the natural home of the citrus fruit and it hag been said and by good author- ity that nowhere else on God's green footstool is there to be found better citrus soil .than about Frostproof The trees seem always glossy and green, laden to the ground with fruit free from white fly and other insects. Under date of Sept. 1914, the Tampa Morning Tribune, of Tampa, Fla.,published the following (spe-| cial) from Ft. Meade: “Members of the firm of Jos. Gentile & Co., were here today and stated that they had 5 25 their groves at Frostproof. This is the first car of early fruit to leave the state this season. This {rulv.‘ 'sur‘rr‘s!fn]ly passed the acid test, and i requirements of law. Others .| were seizedby the sheriff. This car ~' was shipped to their commission of~ atch from fice in Cincinnatti, Ohio.” | This speaks well for Frostproof as an early producer of citrus fruite.
