The Citrus Maturity Testing Program historic series contained in this publication was prepared by the Florida
Agricultural Statistics Service from tests made at the Maturity Test Laboratory, located at the Orange County
Agricultural Center.
We offer our sincere thanks to the many growers who allow picking of fruit samples from their groves, the Orange
County Commissioners who maintain our test facilities, and citrus organizations who voluntarily cooperate in this
program.
The report was assembled under the direction of Robert R. Terry, Harry M. Whittaker, Candice T. Erick, and
Edwin L. Anderson of the Florida Agricultural Statistics Service. Cover photography courtesy of Florida Department
