these troubles are caused by the
lack of the proper proportions of
the various constituents. If the
guavas are cooked in a double

has been found that the juice from

one and one half pounds of jelly.
If considerable water is added to
the guavas as they cook, more
juice and less sugar should be
used.
AS the jelly mixture boils the
water evaporates, and the temper
ture rises as the mixture becomes
more dense or concentrated. The
time to stop cooking is determined
by the temperature of the jelly.
BY a series of experiments, the

PUNTA GoRDA
CBy Albert w. Gilchriso


Punta Gorda is situated on the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad about
$50 miles southwest of jackson
Vile and about 100 miles south
east of Tampa. 1t is at the head
of beautiful Charlotte Harbor,
near the confluence of Alligator,
Peace and Myakka rivers.
Where the mighty Myakka
stream meets
The Gator and deep Peace in

Shell and Prairie creeks run in
to Peace river five to six miles
eastward of Punta Gorda. The
Gulf is about twenty miles to the
westward. ExcellenC boating

cltv Il: ti extends into the bar5or
for f lily a half mile. This dock
is a great pr &c for fishing and for
promenading. AS a promenade it
is of course not as much used as
the one at Atlantic City.
Punta Gorda annually ships
100000 to 100000 pounds of
fish, furnishing the balance of the
nation with much of its brain
food. The testimonials herein
printed show that Punta Gorda is
in q position to furnish the re-
mainder of the nation with health.
Vegetables, Soil, Climate
To the northward and westward
Of Punta Gorda there is much
deep water, affording excellent
water protection for tender vege-
tation. Much of the land is un-
derlaid with clay, yellow soil and
with mari. The new drainage
canal demonstrates this. The
growth was originally pine and
palmetto. Firm compact soil.
Irish potatoes, peppers, tomatoes,
English peas, beans, sugar cane,
strawberries and pineapples grow
well. Although we have cold
weather now and then yet the
bearing cocoanut trees and large
yuava trees, both sensitive to cold

is pleasant, cool breeze blowing
