Watermelon Growers Target High Volume and New Land
Florida acreage reaches 20 000 for 5 600 000 melons this season with Lake county shipping heavily. Groveland lands drive expansion as Leesburg growers relocate, while David R. Seymour reports 3 000 acres sold to northern buyers and 500 leased for melons and tomatoes. Top dressing with 5 7 5 fertilizer and Chilean nitrate sustains thrifty vines and larger fruit.

Pepper shipments to extend through June despite rising supply
Demand for peppers has stayed fairly strong this season with prices holding as shipments climb to 100 cars per week. Light prices prevailed when supply grew late April but have eased about 50 cents weekly since, with Cuban and Puerto Rican peppers supplying earlier than Florida. Florida peppers are expected to continue through June, moving from Florida to New Jersey and beyond as growers align their output.
