Kingsley, Clay County. 
Fig. 2.—Well drained pine lands. This type of soil is well drained, and 
consists of a sandy loam. The prevailing vegetation is pine, wire grass and 
oaks. The soil is light, and is suitable for early vegetables, and for orange 
growing. As a farming soil it requires building up and fertilizing. View taken 
near DeLeon Springs in Volusia Co. 
Fig. 3.—Open flatwoods. The soil consists of a dark sandy loam underlaid 
at the depth of one to five feet by clay subsoil. The prevailing vegetation is 
pine and wire grass. These flatwoods are naturally poorly drained. When 
properly drained, however, the soil is good and suitable for trucking and 
general farming. View taken three miles east of DeLeon Springs.
