kept in first-class style The price per day
will be 50 90 to 81 SO Special rates will be
made by the month or season. The Tropical

These lands being below the killing frost
lines on the Gulf Coast OF fernando and
Hillsboro Counties, with direct steam trans
portation to all points OF the U. s., make
them especially valuable for the production
of vegetables for shipment, from December
until May, to Northern markets, when the
highest prices are obtained. Tomatoes rang
ed the paat winter from S. to IS per crate Of
three pecks, and other vegetables equally
profitable. Tobacco, rice, sugar cane, all
vegetables, the cereals and grass produces
largely.
1t requires but six to eight weeks from
planting to market tomatoes and other veg
etables We have cheaper lands back nom
the Gull Coast, and still cheaper lands n the
various counties north of the 29th parallel,
where winter vegetables cannot be .rown
successfully, and where the orange and 9TH
er fruits occasionally are pinched by the
frost, but the people who have examined our
GULF COAST HIGHLANDS consider them
preferable from every point OF view.
