Swampy's Florida

Here’s an ad with a cute rhyme for Hollieanna Sales Room on 17-92 in Maitland. Guess what? They are STILL there! Now awash in other commercial development, Hollieanna Groves is the last of what used to be dozens of citrus stands along 17-92 in Central Florida. The family is still involved and the groves are picked, bagged and sold at this citrus spot in Maitland.

I’ll have to check their claim on the website of being family owned and operated since 1954. The magazine is positively from 1952. Maybe it was sold prior to 1954.

Look for Hollieanna Groves appearing shortly in the Swampy comic strip.

This ad is from ‘Orlando Attraction’ from February 1952.
