with the greatest care and the han
ding is highly favored. The Clyde
line steamboats, stop at his landing
and the movement of boxes is under
the supervision of his caretaker until
of transit is ideal and accounts for the
superior condition in which Mr.
Dreka's fruit is received by his North
ern customers.
Our readers should try a couple
of boxes of Mr.. Dreka's oranges. 1t
costs very little more freight on two
boxes to most Northern cities than
upon one.
Perhaps the most remarkable bust
ness success in DeLand is that of
G. A. Dreka. Mr.. Dreka came to De
with Mr. Kilkoff His total capital
opportunity to grow up with the COM
munity. Captain Jordan at that time
vas the only merchant in this vi
cinity, and he sold his interest to Mr..
Dreka on November 18th. Mr.. Dreka
and his partner. Mr.. Kilkoff, laid in
a very superior stock for this region,
of general merchandise, endeavoring
to meet the demands of all people.
Their efforts were to supply every
thing in hardware from a needle to
a crowbar. He not only supplied grits
and bacon, but muslins and fine linen
and all classes of household goods.
AT their opening on December 18th,
the whole surrounding country was
invited to come and inspect the goods
and enjoy free lunch. A very good
business was done, and ever since
George A. Dreka & Co have been in
the lead.

to enlarge his buildings, until it has
become a regular department store.
Here you may find everything to keep
house with; everything to run the farm
with. Mr.. Dreka not only knows
what everybody needs, but he has
such ample capital and credit that he
can anticipate their needs
The people appreciate his efforts,
and his success has been phenomenal
In conversation with Mr. Dreka. we
asked him what he would advise a
young man who had from $4oo -
$500 capital to do on the farms in this
vicinity His first suggestion was
that he would endeavor to acquire
about forty acres of land, two or three
acres OF 1t naturally moist enough to
lie adapted to vegetable growing, Guild
a very modest house and spend a fair
portion of his capital in poultry and
one or two cows. He has found that
there is always a lively demand here
Tor poultry and eggs and good milk
With this stock to help out the ferti-
lizer bill, he would gradually plant
Strawberries, peaches and oranges,
with a few grapefruit Once estab-
lIshed along these lines, which would
give returns at an early date, he would
gradually increase the capacity of the
farm until the natural demands of the
section could be learned and catered
to. He feels certain that a young
man with energy and no capital at all
can make a success along the same
lines by spending a part of his time
working for others.
Mr.. Dreka is strong man from
every point of view-great in ener-
gy and force of character, strong in
his sympathies, and with a high sense
of justice. One of his employees was
heard to remark that some of his best
acts of philanthropy were not known
to the world, and in all probability
never would be known

are shipped under Mr.. Dreka's private
brand
This island, containing about two
thousand acres, was decided to Mr..
Huntoon by the United States govern
ment in 1860. Mr.. George A. Dreka
purchased this in 1890, and budded
all the orange trees to this one va
riety. He has adopted a trade mark,
and is endeavoring to place them all
with private customers.
Mr. Dreka has been a very success
full business man. His store now COM
bines almost every branch of trade
that can be done in small city. So
rapidly had his trade enlarged that
he has been obliged 20 purchase the
StetSOn block opposite the pOstOffce,
and is now preparing to build a new
and larger store.
lie also has side track and ware
house at the railroad station for the
Stp;age of his surplus goods He is
displaying the same energy and bus
mess ability in the management of
his groves, and is reaping profitabl-,
harVeStS.
His general plan of culture has been
to plow and cultivate in the usual
manner and use a liberal amount of
Simon Pure fertilizer in the winter,
and also an extra supply of potash.
He believes the superior quality of
his oranges is largely due to natural
soil conditions and this method of
fertilizing.

THE VINEYARD.

There are two types of grapes that
succeed in the vicinity of DeLand.
The Wits Rotundifolia or Muscadine
is most frequently planted because it
is SO reliable, even with careless treat
ment. The Flowers, James, Meisch
and Scuppernong have proved of
greatest value in about the order
named.
The Wits Labrusca or Bunch
grapes are superior in flavor and bring
better price in market, but require
more care. The Delaware, Diamond,
Niagara and Salem are the very best.
If given good care they will pay much
better than in the North They ripen
from June 18th to July 10th, when
Florida markets are almost bare of
fruits and invariably bring good
prices.
The Muscadines may be planted
.3ox3o feet, and trained over arbors
which shade all the ground. The
arbor should be about eight feet from
the ground. The bunch grapes are
generally planted eight feet apart in
rows ten feet apart. A yearly prun-
ing is necessary in January. Some
careful growers never prune the Mus
cadine, but some pruning is found
desirable but not so severely as with
the bunch grapes.

one OF the most delightful drives
~ in the vicinity of DeLand is over
the clay and pine straw road west
to Lake Beresford and Huntoon Is
land. Leaving Lake Beresford on the
left, and following a blind trail we
come into a very dense hammock
consisting largely of bays and cab
bage palmetto. These palmettos are
evidently of great age, some of them
towering aloft from forty to sixty
feet in height. In the wet season the
greater portion of this road is over
flowed with water, making it difficult
for the stranger to keep the trail, but
in the winter time it is readily accessi-
BILE 1t is in these woods that our
friend, Wilson, found so much game
in the month of December, 1905, pic
tured on page 9.
This road has been likened unto
the path that Longfellow described in
his Hyperion that gradually disap-
peared into a squirrel track, and ran
up a tree.
Just as we think we can go no farth
er, we come upon a boat landing where
the St. Johns is barely a hundred
yards wide. The current flows much
more rapidly than we anticipated and
it is bringing down floating masses of
water hyacinths, which lodge here and
there against piers and snags which
project out from the waters edge.
We sometimes wonder how it is that
the steamboats, are able to get
through.
Our guide gives a call to the is
land, and we hear an immediate an
swer, and in a few minutes a boat
puts out, and we are soon ferried
across.
The immediate shore is quite differ
ent from the opposite side of the river,
seemingly composed of beds of ashes
and shells, showing that this was
favOrite habitation of the Indians.
Alternate layers of ashes and shell are
found from below the rivers level
to the height of about twenty feet.
The highest mound is about thirty
feet high, and contained some speci-
mems of pottery; few in the form of
tablets with hieroglyphics, indicating
that some tribe of superior IntellI-
gence and culture had once inhabited
this section. No skeletons or portions
of skeletons OF human beings have
been found on this island but a short
distance across the river, near the
landing place, bones of human beings
have been found and carried away bv
anthropologists.
There is an area of about eight
acres covered with these mounds of
various sizes, and a great many small
shells are scattered through the whole
area.

section of the island produce a re-
