A General Description Of Orange County Florida PDF Download

Excerpt from A General Description of Orange County, Florida: Its Soil, Climate, Health, Productions, Resources, and Facilities of Transportation The committee appointed by the Orange County Immigration Society to prepare for publication a pamphlet descriptive of Orange County, respectfully submit the following pages from the pen of Dr. Z. H. Mason, believing that they will prove trustworthy and reliable as a source of information concerning the Soil, Climate, Products, Resources and Advantages of the County. The committee beg leave to take this opportunity of expressing the obligation they are under to Dr. Mason, who, at their request, assumed solely the labor and responsibility of authorship. Dr. Mason has been well known for many years as an able and conservative writer on Florida, and brings to his aid more than twenty years of residence and experience in semi-tropical fruit culture and farming, and is thus able to speak advisedly of the resources, and of what can be profitably grown in this section of the State. To use his own words, he has in the following pages "confined himself to a plain statement of facts without embellishment, believing that inquirers want truth not fiction." The article "Orange County as a Home for Invalids," is worthy the careful consideration of those whose health require that they should seek a climate with mild winters and pleasant summers. Information not contained in this pamphlet, can be had by addressing the Secretary or either of the officers of the Society. All letters containing return postage will be promptly answered. It is requested that inquirers write their questions on sheets separate from their letters and leave space under each question for the answer.
