From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history.

Citrus greening, a disease that reduces yield, compromises the flavor, color, and size of citrus fruit and eventually kills the citrus tree, is now present in all 34 Floridian citrus-producing counties. Caused by an insect-spread bacterial infection, the disease reduced citrus production in 2008 by several percent and continues to spread, threatening the existence of Florida's $9.3 billion citrus industry. A successful citrus greening response will focus on earlier detection of diseased trees, so that these sources of new infections can be removed more quickly, and on new methods to control the insects that carry the bacteria. In the longerterm, technologies such as genomics could be used to develop new citrus strains that are resistant to both the bacteria and the insect.

Excerpt from Citrus Industry of Florida: Part 1. Citrus Growing in Florida; Part II. Packing House Operations; Part III. Citrus Marketing; Part IV. Citrus Processing; Part V. Agencies Serving the Citrus Industry The incoming growers knew very little about problems of natural cold protection and their selections of grove sites were not based on the fact that areas close to bodies of water were warm, but primarily because the bodies of water meant ways of transportation. The freeze of 1894 and 1895 brought squarely into the foreground the problem of cold protection and resulted in a spread of the citrus industry to the south. This southward trend was speeded by the freeze of 1899, and the great est area of the citrus industry today is in central Florida, where the cold hazards are far less than those which faced the early growers.
