in it. To those who are in doubt
about the climate of Florida, we can
just say this, that we have been To-
Gated here tor eleven years, and in
all that time, have been only forty
eight hours out of the State, and in
seven years of our editorial life, have
never missed one week in doing our
own work. Can any other editor OF
a Northern paper, say the same?
In commencing the new volume,
we rely on the friends of the paper
to make 1t stronger than ever, by So
Letting new subscribers for us. The
stronger you make the paper, the
more weight will it carry in every
thing to advance your own interests.
We intend, during the year, to i'm
prove the paper in several particulars,
but to make a firstclass affair, you
must all be liberal to it, and sus
tain it strongly.

COnch Peas.

The agricultural editor of the
Jacksonville Union having referred
to us. as knowing where to procure
conch peas, we have received com.
munications asking information. The
storm of last September destroyed
the crops of those peas in this quar-.
ter, and we do not know where any
can be procured. Ii any one has
them for sale, cheap advertisement
in our paper, will find purchaser.

for commencing the construction oft

three lines of survey and TO build the
road over that route along which
they receive most encouragement from
the people. That railroad would
greatly enhance the value OF the lands

The Florida Agriculturist.

With this number ends the third
volume of the new series, and the
seventh year since the Florida Agri-
culturist was started. At one time
there were doubts of its success, and
the prospects were gloomy, but,
Phoenix like, it has arisen from its
ashes, and is now in stronger posi-
ton than it has ever held. To those
who have contributed TO its columns
valuable information, we return
thanks, and invite every part of the
State to write up their advantages,
so that outsiders may be able to
choose, when they locate Ours is

jealousy may arise from its being
published in so new a section OF the
State, we challenge any one to point

while other papers take a whole
page for their locals, we seldom de-
vote more than acolumn tor ours,
and if we did show better prefer

would be justified in doing SO, for
the handsome manner in which they
have assisted the paper, and enabled
us 10 make success of it If other
places are not represented in the
paper, it is not our fault, for we have
invited contributors from every Sec

what a large circulation the paper
has, all over the Union, they would

From an Archer Correspondent.

Editor OF the Florida AgriculturiSt:
Well, where. did our Spring come
in? The sudden jump from frost to
go i'll the shade, has about crowded
out Spring weather. Vegetables and
truck are being shipped to a limited
extent, along the line OF this road.
AT one time it looked as if trucking
was certainly played out tor this
year, but our gardeners are deter.
mined, heroic set. Until the middle
of April they kept planting and re-
planting, and many of them have
large crops in, alter seeding three
or tour times. One of the most en-.
ergetic, is j. l. Walls, our former
member OF Congress, from this dis.
trlct, a colored man, but with true
vim and energy. He now has one
hundred aud thirty acres OF tomatoes,
and about twenty acres OF cucum
bers growing nicely, and looking
well. This, too, after having his
crop once or twice totally ruined.

will be large crop. Beans, not

to say fatal. TO her material prosperity
and future growth. It is time for the
croakers and old, fogies to take back
seat. Direct commucation by rail
between this place and Jacksonville
will be more conducive To the rapid
growth OF our town than any scheme
which has yet been set on foot.

to do Justice to the correspondents,
whereupon a committee was appoint

of a circular which would answer
most of the questions usually asked
by correspondents, and relieve the
Secretary from the necessity OF VIII

We have a report that the Say

partial draining of Lake Apopka,

the Tangerineites chance OF having
two boat landings in the future, on
lakes Beauclair and Ola. Oh! for
the time when the sound ofthe steam
boat whistle shall make our hearts
glad. Fully ten families have set
tied IN our locality within the past
year, and still they come. Mrs,
