The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1879-08-13

We are pleased to learn that the vet
eran and popular commander, Captain
Joe. Smith, has been able to purchase
the fine little steamer Flora. He is to
RIM her between Fernandina and Trad
ers Hill on the st. Mary's river, where
he will doubtless soon become as de-
servedly favorite as he was on the ST.
Johns.
Hardware of every description at Dre-
ka IL Co.'S.
We tested some new kind of vinegar
at the store of Mr.. Wilcox, made from
the black mulberry, by Mrs. Mclean of
Spring Hill, near by. 1t possessed
strong acid quality, and was very agree
able in favor. As the mulberry grows
luxuriantly here, and bears abundantly,
the manufacture of vinegar from the
fruit will prove a successful and well
come competitor to the manufactured
and unhealthy trash foisted on the mar.
ket in such quantities.
Buy from Headquarters. Dreka &
Go. are selling superior Pearl M cal and
| Grits at 2 cents a pound.
Mr. J. F. Allen, living near here, pre-
scented us with a sample of his pine -ap-
pies, two years old from the suckers.
1t weighed about two pounds, was Of
fair size, fine grain and excellent in fla
vor and quality. This, with numerous
other successful efforts, shows conclu-
sively that this delicious fruit can be
readily and proftably grown here Mr..
Allen used no fertilizer.
Teas of every flavor, and descrip-
ton to suit all manner of tastes, at the

yesterday her semi-weekly trips, leaving
