DOBSON WANTS CAPITAL TO HAVE APPROPRIATE DOME
(Titusville Star-Advocate)
If all Temple oranges are as good as the one received by the editor last week from D. C. Gillett of the Buckeye Nurseries, then Florida should standardize on Temple oranges, as the best and most productive of all citrus fruits.
When Florida's new state capitol is built in either a state capital district, or in Orlando, Ocala or Palatka, the dome of the capitol should be a replica of a Temple orange in shape, gilded with gold, so all the world can see and admire the handsomest fruit grown in the entire world.
