Go to DeLand and Lake Helen, Flor
ida, the Most Delightful Places
in the South.
WHY GO TO DELAND AND LAKE HELEN?


We reply, because they are not only two OF the
most delightful places in Florida, but are uni
versally conceded to be among the healthiest
places in the Union.
DeI1and in Volusa county is located on the j.,
I. & K. w Ry., about 100 miles south of Jackson
vile, i'll one OF the best orange growing sections
of the State. 1t occupies the middle of large
plateau that is twenty miles long and five wide,
originally covered with yellow pine forest and
dotted with small, clear lakes. The soil is well
suited to fruit and vegetable raising, and the or
ange plantations are peculiarly thrifty indeed,
the town presents the appearance Of IL great villa
situated in the midst OF luxurious orange grove.
Lake Helen is five miles from DeLand.
is AN EDUC4 TTONAL CENTRE,
DeLand offers rare inducements to parents who
desire the education of their children to be carried
forward while they are temporarily away from
their Northern homes. or who are looking for
some good institution in which to place them per-
manently until their education is completed. De-
Land has an Academy which is in reality Il Col
lege for both sexes inferior to none in thecOuntry
in character, with experienced and successful edu-
Gators at it's head
IMPRESSIONS or DELAND
Ny Impressions of DeLand, on viewing it from
the balcony of the Parceland Hotel was thatit
was of the prettiest cities in Florida. My con
viction, 1 viewed it from the balcony the
third story of the University building, that it
was without exception the prettiest in Florida.
Most Florida cities convey theimpression under a
bird's-eye view that, like Topsy, 'sthey just
growed." DeLand shows every Indication of hav-
ing been carefully planned, and developed in ac-

OF ample spaces, with park-like stretches of the
original pine forest and vast area of orange
grove within the city limits. The Parceand Hotel
has an orange grove on one side and on acre of
lofty, heaven-kssing pines on the other The Car
rollton is on the Boulevard, almost in the geo
graphical centre OF the town. and the Putnam
House and the Floral Grove IL otel are in the very
midst OF empowering orange trees. So it is with
private residences. Most OF them areeither in the
midst of orange groves or are situated one
side of the lot with orange trees filing the remain
der. From any commanding point the city looks
like a vast orange plantation with clustering
town in the centre, and houses dotted here and
there amid the verduOus foliage.-C. Fl. Jones, in

For THE FLORIDA AGRIcULrURsT.
Florida's Collapsed Boom-Protective
Legislation.

summer brilliance, and the climate was
to us charming delight. While enjoy
ing here all the pleasure of q Maytime
season, our home friends were experience
ing daily zero weather. While we knew
such to be the fact, we found it almost
impossible to make ourselves realize it's
truth.
Florida was then filed with tourists,
and everything was booming. In every
place we passed at that time the sound of
the saw and the hammer reminded us of
life, growth and prosperity. More than
once we were compelled to lodge in pri-
vate houses, for all the hotels were liter
ally filed to overfowing.
Fouryears has produced agreat change
in the size, extent and growth of the or
ange industry, but a sort of lethargy
seems to be hanging over all the State SO
far as we have visited it, The building is
not going forward as then, nor are the
guests crowding each other in the hotels.
Cars are not filled on railroads or boats
on the inland navigable waters of the
State, nor are the purchasers OF orange
lands or city lots rivaling each other in
their anxious Efforts to possess it's soil.
This great change, to us, augurs no
evil for Florida. 1t is but sequence Of
an unavoidable condition. The extreme
cold of the winter of 1886, and the plague
'of 1888 could not well fail to produce
such results 1t would, for like causes,
have come everywhere. Every part OF
our country and of the world are liable
to, and often do meet with like depress
ing Influences from causes equally beyond
human control.
They should neither discourage nor dis
pirit any portion of it's people. While it
acts for temporary loss and disadvan-
,tage, it will doubtless result in future
gain to the State In fact it can hardly
fail to prove otherwise. Had the boom
of 1885 continued unchecked to this time,
the legitimate business OF the State might,
and doubtless would have been seriously
injured by it's undue imitation.
The same soil remains, the same sun
shines, the same seed time and harvest
come and pass, and Florida's citizens are
to-day more independent and self-reliant
for the adverse lessons thus received
What they have lost financially they
have more than gained in profitable ex-
perience. The lesson may be unpleasant,
but it is none the less valuable. Florida
mover had brighter future prospects, nor
was the time for investments in it's soil
and sunshine as inviting as now at any
former period of it's history.
There is but one Florida Some things
can be duplicated, but not this floral
State. It is we'll when gloomy from any
cause to remember that fact. 1t will give
us courage and inspire US with hope. A
triumph over such adverse circumstances
is more than victory.
Fruit and vegetable growing must ever
he among the most profitable Industries
of the State. Their especial protection
should be secured in the now pending
tariff bill. 1t is folly for the American
people to expect the best, or even fair re
suits for their toll while they on like IN
dustries have to compete with the low

area Is fully ten acres. Here We were
surprised 20 find streams dashing
down the rocky preciplce, fed by
crystal springs. Around this ever
flowing fountain could be seen herd
of 20 or 30 deer, who at ray approach
looked with an inauisitive reply, yet
did not fee. as they did not know what
