Unknown heirs OF Hiram DuaE. de-
PENDANT.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1880-03-03
Federal Point.

Editor of The Florida Agriculturist:
1 have lately been furnished with
copy OF Guide to Southern Georgia
and Florida On page AZ find that
Federal Point is mentioned as FIFTY
eight miles from Jacksonville on east
bank of St. Johns river,-post office,
wood landing" A truly comprehen-
sive description OF the place. Fed
eral Point, like many other places of
growing importance has grown up
since the days OF Reconstruction" at
that time being nothing but wilder
ness, the nearest post-office was at
Jacksonville. Its, growth has been
slow, owing to the fact that adver,
tising has never been attempted and
the totally false opinion that its lands
We're not suited to orange culture.
This opinion has been spread tar and
near by all supposed authorities on
the subject and those persons desir-
ing to locate here on account ,yof Its
superior transportation facilities have,
been deferred from SO doing fearing
that success could not be obtained
here. 1t is we'll. known that orange
culture had never assumed any pro-
portions approaching business un-
til within the last ten years, and to-
day the industry is in Its infancy.
The growers now occupied in the
business not having learned more
than the rudiments of their calling.
And this "hue and cry" by men of
talent that certain conditions and
qualities of soil are suitable for or
ange culture, while others are worth
less, simply shows the truth Of my
statement that the "rudiments of the
occupation alone has been learned" :"
Federal Point is small in the num-
ber of its inhabitants, who are mostly
! immigrants from the northern states,
and have had to unlearn many OF
their home methods OF culture and
learn the character of our soil, eli
mate and productiveness, yet, des-
! pite these draw backs they have
broken into the wilderness and to-
