These lands being below the killing frost lines
on the Gulf coast Of fernando and Hisboro
counties, with direct steam transportation to all
points Of the U. S., make them especially valua-
bic for the production of vegetables for ship
ment, from December until May, to Northern
markets, when the highest prices are 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.
1t requires 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 in the various counties
north Of the Goth parallel, where winter vegeta-
bles cannot be grown successfully, and where
the orange and other fruits occasionally are
linched by the frost, but the people who have
examined our GULF COAST HIGHLANDS, consider
them preferable from every point OF view.
