| So great was the call for shares IN the
Lakeland Building Lots and farms, disirihu>
ted on the 3lst of January, and 2Sth ofFcbru-
| airy, now past, that after every share was dis.
posed of, my Office was literally crowded with
applicants, by whose earnest solicitations, |
have been induced to lay Out another plot adj
| Joining the last, and extending westerly on
the Long Island Railroad to the Water Sta
ton where the cars now stop to take in water.
Said plot will be divided into 500 Shares at
SIS each and consist of 700 Building Lots,
one hundred feet square two Farms OF TWEEN
ty acres each two Of ten acres each, six OF
five acres each, two OF fur acres each, and
eighty eight smaller ones. to DC distributed OH
no 3lst March. 1853.
Each subscriber is entitled to lots, 25 by
100 feet, lying together or FARM of from
2 to 90 acres. The shares are limited at Sic
payable, So when subsci lied for, 50 on or be-
fore the day OF distribution, and the balance
in monthly instolmcnts Of $3.50.
The Village OF Lakeland where these lots
are located is only short distance South Of
D the celebrated Lake Ronkvnkoia, the beauty
Z and romantic appearance OF which are praised
by all who visit it. Here may already be seen
c the best evidence that can lie desired that
= Lakeland and llermanvillc will shortly be-
: come choice places on Long Island, long
U known as the " Garden Spot Of America.
i From the publishcdstatisticAl accounts Of the
late rensus taken by the United States it is
|, shown that Long Island is the most healthy
!, location within its borders fewer deaths ac-
II cording TO it, population than in any other
l. place. About $50 farms have been sold with
in short time-felds have been cleared and
=. cultivated and crops now growing that will

in the country several houses have been built
r. and others are now being erected by their en-
ns terprsing purchasers. Mechanics arc sclcc
ny ting sites for their business here, which from

- with equal profit having their families will

A. etore, The fertility of the soil, and Its ndaI
ID tedncss for the profitable cultivation OF ever

has already been satisfactorily demonstrated
and the firms which am now selling at froi

for 500 per acre, and land ON the North an

gs Several gentlemen of the first respectable
ny who have visited Lakeland and examined Il
he crops then growing there, declare that Il
en- wheat, rye, corn, potatoes and garden veget
rd' bles, are equal TO any they have seen ia Al
rs part Of the country, proving conclusively tn
m the soil is capable of producing, and that
on the highest perfection, all that the agricultu
il isl can wish or desire.
