NoTRS FROM SuNNYLAND, on the Manatee 

 River, Gulf Coast of South Florida. 



A very interesting little book, of 

 some eighty pages, by Samuel C. 

 Upham, of Braidentown, Flor., giving 

 some stirring incidents in the early 

 history of that region, and an account 

 of the climate and fruit productions of 

 that i)art of the State. He tells us that 

 the first pound of coffee grown in the 

 United States was raised at Fogarty- 

 ville, Flor., in 1880, by Madame Julia 

 Atzeroth. Also that the fruits grown 

 there are the orange, lemon, lime,guava, 

 pomegranate, persimmon, olive, almond, 

 <fec. The lowest temperature was 38°, 

 and the highest 96°, during the year 

 1880. He claims that South Florida 

 will one day supply the world with 

 oranges, and that of better quality than 

 those now brought from the Mediter- 

 ranean. 



Tlie little j)eople have no reason to 

 complain that they are overlooked by 



writers or publishers now-a-days. We 

 have before us four publications especi- 

 ally designed for their amusement and 

 instruction, published by D. Lothrop tk 

 Co., Boston, Mass. They are — " Wide 

 Awake," an illustrated monthly maga- 

 zine, for $2 50 a year, intended for the 

 larger young people ; " Baby land," a 

 monthly at 50 cents a year, for the very 

 little ones ; " Little Folk's Eeader," a 

 monthly at 75 cents a year, for primary 

 schools and kindergartens ; and " The 

 Pansy," which is issued weekly at 50 

 cents a year. These are all beautifully 

 illustrated, and printed in the best 

 style, and abound with interesting 

 stories that cannot fail to please the 

 young readers. 



The Southern Cultivator. 



We have received the January num- 

 ber of The Southern Cultivator and 

 Dixie Farmer, the oldest, as it is the best, 

 agricultural journal in the Southern 

 States. It is now published by Jas. P. 

 Harrison & Co., of Atlanta. Dr. W. 

 L. Jones, for years the editor of this 

 popular journal, retains his position ; 

 Dr. J. S. Lawton is the associate. 

 Under this management, The Southern 

 Cultivatcn- will not only maintain its 

 former high standard, but, with the 

 assistance of ample capital and increased 

 facilities, and contributions from the 

 most eminent and popular writers on 

 Agriculture in this country, will attain 

 a higher standing than ever. 



The number before us is a gem. No 

 journal of its kind can excel it in the 

 value of its reading matter, the beauty 

 of its illustrations,, and its adaptation 

 to the demands of progressive Southern 

 agriculture. The illustrated title page is 

 the finest of the kind we have ever seen. 

 The Southern Cultivator and Dixie 

 Farmer should be read and studied by 

 every farmer and planter in the South. 

 The terms, $1 50 a year, with special 

 rates for clubs, are remarkably low.
