The South the North. Winter Garden.

The South the North's Winter Garden
The time has come when the north
regards the south as it's winter garden.
The great cities Of the north must be
fed. Their hundreds of thousands and
millions of population must have vege.
tables, and large quantities Of them,
during the winter season. From No
vember till June the country north OF
Ohio and Potomac rivers grows very
fine vegetables. Lettuce and radishes
and a few other cold plants are grown
in frames and hotnouses, but the guam.
titles are no sufficient to supply the
demand. Florida and the gulf coast
must furnish the midwinter supply,
and as spring advances localities fur
ther north are drawn upon. The popu.
lation of the north Is increasing rap.

tion of the nation is in the states Gre
ated out of the old Northwest terri.

will and do furnish great winter
market? The people in the cities OF
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Washington, Pittsburg, Cleve-
land, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Louis must have vegetables; and
the scores of other cities from fifty
thousand to over one hundred thou
sand people also make demands. The
south must supply that demand. In the
south these cities will have their win
ter gardens. Transportation facilities
are being rapidly improved. The man
who secures a few acres of land near
a railroad in the southeast, enriches
it, cultiyates it in scientific manner,
attends strictly to business, will make
more clear money than the man with
a 4O-muled, 20-"nigger" cotton planta'
ton.
