From An Indiana Subscriber.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
[ am glad to find one paper in the
Union encouraging tropical and semi
tropical agriculture and | inclose 81
for a years subscription to the Agri-
culturist
Would it not pay you to devote some
space to Bookkeeping? If the planting
of the eucalyptus should become general
in Florida, bee culture would be very
profitable industry.
Has any effort ever been made to
grow English walnuts in Florida; and
if so, what has been the result?
It seems to me the people of Florida
had better pay more attention to the
more hardy kinds of fruits, such as
peaches, pears, plums, etc.

Soap-Nut Tree Seed.

Editor Florida Agricu1turist
Since the publication of the article
on the soap-nut tree in your issue of
January, I have received several appli-
cations for seed and even for trees.
I beg that you kindly inform your
readers that my communications to your
valuable paper are intended to make
known, as broadly as possible, that the
industry of the soap-nut tree is an es-
tab1ished fact, and the same applies to
the tallow tree, the description of which

Florida for All Seasons.

The Clay County Times thus dis
courses on our climatic conditions:
Every winter Florida is filled with
tourists who come here from other
States and revel in our delicious climate,
enjoy our fishing, hunting, bathing and
outdoor sports, and go back to their
Northern homes refreshed and benefited
and invigorated by their stay among us,
and certainly we are glad to have them,
Our welcome is warm, cordial and sim
cere, and would reach out to thousands
more if they would come, and there is
plenty of room for others, but when we
pick up the papers and read of floods,
SnOwStorms and calamities Of various
kinds in winter, and heat prostrations,
cyclones, ETC., in summer, we can't help
but wonder why it is Florida doesn't fill
'chock' full of folks who will cast their
permanent lot here and live in the very
best State in the Union the whole year
long.
'Certainly no State presents so many
real attractions as our State does, and
we can't understand why it is so many
people are willing to risk their all, in
Guiding their own lives and the lives
of their families when they can secure
perfect safety.
We have lived in Florida for many
years and we have never heard of dis
aster from floods or suffocation from
heat, nor have we ever heard of men,
women and children freezing to death
from cold, and in Florida we have few
er diseases of fatal nature than any
other State Barring the sick who come
here from other States, with one foot
in the grave and the other almost and
die within it's borders
"We suppose that one reason more
people do not come here to make their
permanent homes where they can en-
JOY such manifold advantages is due to
the erroneous reports that have gone
abroad that Florida is a veritable bake
oven in summer This idea comes pri11-
cipally through natural supposition
because of Florida's nearness to the
equator, but there are many who have
had similar experience to ours, and
have found the heat in Northern States
far more oppressive in summer than in
Florida. In fact, the Florida summer
temperature is several degrees lower
than that of other States and this is due
to the fact that the peninsula is narrow
and the breezes from the gulf and
ocean keep the air cool and pleasant,
hence it is rarely uncomfortable in the
shade
"When this fact becomes thoroughly
rooted and grounded in the minds of
people of other States there will be
many who will seek homes in Florida
and they will find equally as warm a
welcome as we extend to the tourists
who come and only spend few short
weeks with us.
