mastic and lignum vitae grow abundant ly. In addition to fruit bearing species, we fine the pimento, coffee, pepper, clove and other spice trees and shrubs may be successfully cultivated. Game and fish abound in every part of the state. Deer, wild turkey, partridge, geese, ducks and other small game in all the forests and about all the lakes, rivers and sWamps. Green turtle, oysters, sheeps head, red fish in all waters. Magnificent sponges are gathered along the reefs. Especially the moss, live moss with which the live oak is festooned, is a scene presented of great interest. Some of the live oaks covered with moss are so large that the diameter of the outer branches or limbs is II paces. The circumference would be over B paces. But time would fail to tell of the interesting things connected with this wonderful state lying between the temperate and tropical regions of our own great domain. Key West, the largest city, containing 9S90 inhabitants, is 60 miles from Cape Sable, the main land, on an island.
