PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 

 Florida, the Land of Enchantment. 

 By Melvin O. Winter. Published by 

 The Page Company. Boston. This 

 sumptuous volume is the latest addi- 

 tion to the popular "See America 

 First" series, being the eleventh to 

 appear. It is a beautiful volume, su- 

 perbly bound and In all respects a 

 creditable example of the bookmakers' 

 art. but this is only incidental and the 

 real claim of the book on our readers 

 is its entertaining style, its literary 

 value and fidelity to history. The con- 

 tents include an account of the ro- 

 mantic histon,- of the F'lorida penin- 

 sula from the days of Ponce de Leon 

 and the other early explorers and set- 

 tlers, and the story of its native In- 

 dians: a survey of its climate, lakes

.mil river.-^; a descrliition of its scenic 

 wonders and abundant arboreal, ani- 

 mal and bird life; a comprehensive 

 review of the Florida of today, as a 

 state important for its industries, agri- 

 culture and educational advantages, 

 as well as the inimitable supremacy 

 it possesses as a winter resort, wltli 

 noteworthy attractions for health and 

 pleasure seekers, nature lovers, motor- 

 ists and sportsmen. The romance of 

 the discovery, story of the conquest. 

 the tragedy of the Huguenots, the 

 seven years' conflict with the redmen, 

 the St' .lohns and Ocklawaha rivers, 

 the American Riviera, Palm Beach 

 and Indian River, along the west 

 coast, the everglades, the keys, fish 

 and fishing, bird life, etc., are all viv- 

 idly portrayed in the chapters, and 

 the text matter is well siipploniented 

 by a map and .56 splendid plates, of 

 which 8 are in color, the subjects of 

 the latter being The Palmetto, Seven 

 Mile Bridge. Cape Florida Lighthouse 

 at Miami. An Orange Grove. A Florida 

 Alligator. Entrance to Naval Station 

 at Key West, Fort Marion and Old 

 St. Augustine. Under the captivating 

 style of the author the reader finds a 

 seductive charm in this story of a sec- 

 tion of our country which has but re- 

 cently come into prominence horticul- 

 turaliy, industrially and as a resort 

 for "the rich, idle and gay" during the 

 inclement season of the year; and we 

 can unhesitatingly recommend the 

 book to our readers as one of excep- 

 tional interest and instruction. The 

 price of the volume is $3.50 net, $3.75 

 carriage paid. Horticultitje can sup- 

 ply it. 



PHILADELPHIA, 



We had the pleasure this week of a 

 visit from Raymond Thoirs from camp 

 at Anniston, Ala., home on a furlough 

 to see his folks in this vicinity. He is 

 a son of .Tames M. Thoirs the well- 

 known Camden florist. Looks fine and 

 has a muscle on him that will make 

 the Hun Hunt the Hay if he ever runs 

 up against It. 



April weddings have been more 

 numerous than was generally expect- 

 ed. Of course, the boys are at the 

 front, or going, but many of the latter 

 have got busy right now, whereas in 

 ordinary times they would have put It 

 off for a year or two. And, come to 

 think of It, that idea seems far better 

 than asking the dear lass to "wait for 

 me 'till I come back."
