PREFACE. 



There has hardly been a day during the past year that 

 I have not received two or three inquiries from parties who 

 have either just moved to Florida or anticipated moving, 

 each one desiring information on this subject, the majority 

 asking if there was not some authority which they could get 

 in book form' that would help them with their trucking 

 problems. I endeavored in each case to give them the in- 

 formation asked for, but could not refer them to any work 

 on this subject, as there had not been a book written at the 

 time which treated truck farming in all sections of the State. 

 It was mainly for the benefit of these new settlers that I 

 decided to write this book. I do not claim to know it all 

 about trucking, but, as the greater part of my life has been 

 spent in farming and in the seed business, I hope that I may 

 be able to give some information which will be of assistance 

 to them in making a success of their trucking venture. Let 

 me say right here, that if there is an)^ point in this book 

 which is not plain to my readers, or any other information 

 they desire, I want them to feel that they are privileged to 

 write me and I will cheerfully help them to the best of my 

 ability. When writing address me, Palatka, Florida. 



Wishing you the best of success, I am. 



Yours very truly, 



C. H. KENNERLY.
