Orlando. Fla, states that "It seems a
little strange to see the mercury
standing at 90 degrees, and know that
it is February, and comfortable, with
nice breeze blowing; no rain, all sun
shine, and sand everywhere. The wind
does not blow the same here as al
some other points. We have fireplace
in our room and have needed to build
fire once only, in the evening when
it was little cool. We have been to
strawberry farm and waited while
they picked the berries. They are
picking 600 boxes a day. They sell at
25 cents box. We went to pine
apple orchard where we saw pineapples
in all stages. Two fine ones were cut
for us. weighing six pounds each. Our
croquet set is out. We have nice yard
with plenty of shade from the moss
covered oak trees. Orange trees also
are in the yard, so we can pick
oranges when we want them. The
trees are now in bloom. Many people
are here from the north and it seems
that. those of middle age, mostly, are the
tourists"
