nd all the world is full of peace. And this I say, that winter gardeningin Florida is far better .than crooning overthe fire for five months, with the clap-boards snapping in the frost fingers. Oneis not eating up, during idle days, all thathe could grow during the summer. Thereare no coal bills to settle, and one may gobathing in the lake of a Christmas Day.Neighbors get together on New Years, anddine off new vegetables, then sit out underthe arbors of roses, and eat their fill offresh-picked oranges. The South is agreat new land, with new problems andnovel possibilities. The Cracker and thenegro are alike fond of gardening, and onlyneed the advice and leadership of modernscience. The whole of Florida will yet bea garden; and its people will be the leadersin national horticulture. It can grow thebest things from the apple belt; and thebest from the corn belt; and then add thecotton and the peach belt; while Florida,reaching well down into the tropics, willremain the garden of America
