This is a developed community, with many elegant homes, good roads, schools, churches, growing towns and splendid railroad facilities. Our lands are high, rolling and perfectly drained, with clay sub-soil. Elevation and surrounding lakes afford priceless cold protection for the growing of citrus fruits, to which our soil is perfectly adapted. You can develop a grove here on less money than elsewhere. Our district has become the greatest watermelon center in the State, if not on the continent.
Watermelons are a reliable, quick-money crop.
You can have a telephone, connecting with five towns, in your home, and automobile free grocery and dry goods delivery to your door. This is a fine stockraising section. Our soils and climate are adapted to many crops, which can be raised between the row while a citrus grove is being developed. We have in this vicinity many of the oldest, finest and most profitable citrus groves in Florida. Shipments from this district in one year exceeds one-half million boxes.
