six acre garden (including an acre of
strawberries) on the shore of the lake.
Fresh milk and cream will be brought
daily from the Irondequoit Dairy at
DeLand. Also ice from Kingsburys ice
factory.
Short drives in any direction will bring
one to some of the finest and oldest or
range groves to be found in the State, the
surrounding country being dotted with
these gems of beauty.
The attention of all visiting the State
of Florida is invited to this lovely
locality whether seeking winter homes,
or looking towards an investment
in orange or vegetable land 1t is safe
to say, that no one can be prepared to
judge understandingly as to which is the
most desirable portion of the State until
he has seen Lake Helen, thrifty vigor-
Gus northern shoot, grated onto healthy
southern stock.
Lake Helen is centrally located, being
five miles southeast from DeLand, lit
tie over five miles east of landings on
Lake Beresford, little less than five.
miles northeast of Orange City, and
nine miles northeast of Enterprise.
The railroad now in successful operation
running frequent daily trains from the
Lake Helen by or before Nov. l, 1885.
In the meantime the Lake can be readily
reached from DeLand by G. A. Miller's
four horse omnibus, which will run daily
from DeLand to Lake Helen from Dec.
i, 1881, to May, 1885, and perhaps later.
