Download or read book Oranges written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a short magazine article about oranges and orange juice, but the author kept encountering so much irresistible information that he eventually found that he had in fact written a book. It contains sketches of orange growers, orange botanists, orange pickers, orange packers, early settlers on Florida's Indian River, the first orange barons, modern concentrate makers, and a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida who may be the last of the individual orange barons. McPhee's astonishing book has an almost narrative progression, is immensely readable, and is frequently amusing. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles, because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too—with elements in it that range from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a custom of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the nineteenth century—when most food in America was bland and brown and few people appreciated the economic potential of then-exotic foods—David Fairchild convinced the U.S. Department of Agriculture to finance overseas explorations to find and bring back foreign cultivars. Fairchild traveled to remote corners of the globe, searching for fruits, vegetables, and grains that could find a new home in American fields and in the American diet. In Fruits of Eden, Amanda Harris vividly recounts the exploits of Fairchild and his small band of adventurers and botanists as they traversed distant lands—Algeria, Baghdad, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Java, and Zanzibar—to return with new and exciting flavors. Their expeditions led to a renaissance not only at the dinner table but also in horticulture, providing diversity of crops for farmers across the country. Not everyone was supportive, however. The scientific community was concerned with invasive species, and World War I fanned the flames of xenophobia in Washington. Adversaries who believed Fairchild’s discoveries would contaminate the purity of native crops eventually shut down his program, but his legacy lives on in today’s modern kitchen, where navel oranges, Meyer lemons, honeydew melons, soybeans, and durum wheat are now standard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Degreening Response of Color-Sorted Florida Oranges: A Preliminary Report Two tests were conducted during November 1964 using Hamlin oranges grown on rough lemon rootstock. Because of the advanced fruit color, it was necessary to selectively harvest fruit in order to have an adequate color range of regular-bloom fruit for the tests. The fruit was washed and sized into three groups large, medium, and small, which corresponded to commercial sizes of 163, 200 and 252. Each size group was visually sorted into three color categories: dark, medium, and light. Each color-size lot consisted of 10 fruits, and five replications were included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise and Hand Book on Orange Culture in Florida The writer for several years suffered greatly for want of some reliable advice ou Orange Culture. Could he have had such instructions as the following pages contain he might have hastened forward to profitable bearing by several years an orange grove now crowning his labors with success. He could have done this with half the amount of money expended by him in experimenting, in following unreliable advice, and in doing, what at the time, seemed wisest. It is to save others such useless expenditures and to help forward the best material interest of Florida that he has undertaken to give to the public the result of his experience and observation on Orange Culture in Florida. Nor has he undertaken this without the earnest solicitation of many who are engaged in orange growing and have witnessed his success and discussed with him his plans. The writer has not only had ten years of actual experience in orange growing, but he has had before him a wide field for observing the efforts of others engaged in this business. He has had throughout his life a passion for horticulture; in early life considerable experience as an amateur cultivator of fruits. For twenty-five years he has been accustomed to eat fresh from the trees the orange grown in Cuba, in Central America, in California, in Louisiana and in Florida. His admiration of this "queen of fruits" has led him to observe and inquire after the methods of culture in each of these several countries. During the ten years of his experience lie has frequently traveled over the State of Florida, visiting, at all seasons of the year, the various sections engaged in growing oranges, discussing with growers their theories and noting the results of their efforts. This little work, therefore, is not the result of the experience of a single individual confined to a single location, but the result of experiments, successes and failures of the many, extended over the State of Florida.
