I also have a patch of sixty\\npine-apple plants which will bear fruit next year. I have a\\nfew coffee and tea plants, Japan plum and persimmon, pome-\\ngranate, almond and olive trees that are growing luxuriantly.\\nI brought with me from Philadelphia, half a dozen cocoa-\\nnuts, which I planted on the 1st of November last, and had\\ngiven up all hope of ever seeing them sprout, when, to my\\ngreat surprise, some two weeks since, two of them threw up\\nsprouts. They are now one foot high, and are growing vig-\\norously. The guava thrives admirably here. I have several\\ntrees, and expect soon to luxuriate on guava jelly of my own\\nmanufacture. I will send you a few sample boxes.\\nHave you ever eaten a Florida orange, fresh plucked, that\\nripened on the tree? If not, visit Florida, and enjoy the\\ngreatest luxury of your life. It is the fruit /ar excellence\\nfit food for the gods. I have, in the course of my somewhat\\neventful life, eaten oranges in the groves of the Mediterra-\\nnean, South America, Mexico and the West Indies, but none\\ncan compare with the orange grown in this State.

No other soil can produce it. The West India\\nand Louisiana seedling orange tree is wonderfully improved\\nby being transplanted in Florida soil.
