FLORIDA, called by some the "APOPKA
MOUNTAINS," in the beautiful clear water Lake Region.

CLERMONT is located on gently rolling land, between Lakes Minnehaha and
Minneola, in Sumter County, Florida. Soil highly productive. Amongst the
best in the State for the raising of Oranges, Limes, Lemons, Bananas,
Pineapples, STRAWBERRIES, and all kinds of EARLY VEGETABLES.

PRICES OF LAND.--Farm Land, $20 per acre, and upwards; Lake Fronts, $50
per acre, and upwards; Town Lots, 50 x 150 feet, $100 and upwards,
according to location, AND ON EASY TERMS.

THE SOIL

Is in great part a rich, sandy loam, and is suitable for raising fruits
and vegetables. These lands are situated south of the so-called FROST
LINE, and you can market your fruit and vegetables raised thereon as
early as can be done from any other portion of Florida, and earlier than
can be done from any other State in the Union.

HEALTH.

THE HEALTHIEST location in the State. Good health is an essential thing
in the profitable cultivation of a farm or garden, and the richest soil
in the world may yield very poorly if the settler is unable to expend
upon it his labor on account of chills and fever or malaria. NO WINTER
to delay your work.

PLANT YOUR VEGETABLES IN OCTOBER and November, and commence to send your
produce to market in February. THREE CROPS CAN BE RAISED IN A YEAR from
the same piece of ground.

THE CLIMATE

IS DELIGHTFUL: flowers bloom the year round in the open air. THE SUMMERS
in this high land are NO WARMER than in the North. The thermometer
rarely indicates higher than ninety degrees.

THE MILDNESS OF THE CLIMATE and its bracing influence marks its
excellence for all PULMONARY AFFECTION, THROAT AILMENT, ASTHMA,
RHEUMATISM, KIDNEY TROUBLES, etc. Chills and fever and malaria are
unknown.

A living can be made by the cultivation of vegetables while the
orange-groves are being brought into bearing. Our water protection is
unsurpassed, which makes it the choicest locality in the State for the
fruit-grower.

Building material is plenty and cheap. Fish and game in abundance. Good
schools and churches will be established at once. Clermont is to be made
an educational centre.

It is expected that the Florida Southern Railroad will be built very
near, if not through, the town within the next few months. Come and see
the place and its natural advantages. It will speak for itself. A
first-class sawmill has already been erected, and is in oper
