Tarpon Springs and Seville,

inst opened to travel by railway and steamboat
PlcTunEsQUE portion OF Florida. Highland crye-
tai lakes teeming with fsh; grand natural wood
cd parks, where deer, wild turkey and other
game abound. Winged game In great variety
on land and water.
The Tarpon Springs Hotel Is one Of the best
furnished and appointed houses south Of Jack
sonv,le. and in all respects will be kept In drst
class style. The prices per day will be 90
and $3.50. Special rates will be made by tho
month or season. The Tropical Hotel and the
Eernald House are well and comfortably kept at
. price per day of $3.50 to 81. 90, with special
rates b. the month or season. Camp life At
Tarpon Syringe and Seville costs about 42.00 per
week.
These lands being below the killing frost lines
on the Gulf coast of fernando and Hillsboro
counties, with direct steam transportation to all
points Of the U. s make them especially valus
bic for the production OF vegetables for ship
ment, from December until May, TO Northern
markets, when the highest prices IRE obtained.
Tomatoes ranged the past winter from IS to IS
per crate OF three pecks, and other vegetables
equally profitable. Tobacco, rice. sugar cane,
ali vegetables, the cereals and grass produce
largely.
Itreuuires but six to eight weeks from plant
ing to market tomatoes and other vegetables.
We have cheaper lands back from the Gulf coast,
and still cheaper lands iu the various counties
north OF the Goth parallel, where winter vegeta-
blcs cannot be grown successfully, and where
the orange and other fruits occasionally arc
pinched by the frost, but the people who have
examined our GULF COAST HlGHLANDs, consider
them preferable from every point of view.
