Every Tuesday in March and April, tickets will be sold to settlers and homeseekers for one-half the regular fare plus $2.00, by the Seaboard Air Line Railway, to Ellenton, Manatee, and Braidentown, in Manatee county, Florida. 

Manatee county is on the west coast of southern Florida, well below the frost line, and is the most fertile region in the state. There are thousands of acres of rich land unoccupied and capable of producing from $600 to $1200 an acre in early vegetables the first year they are cultivated. These lands sell for $45 to $150 an acre. Land not so good, but still very productive, sells as low as $15 an acre.

A ten year old orange grove of five or ten acres in this county is a fortune.

The climate is delightful and the region wonderfully healthy. There are several progressive towns in the county. 

Tarpon fishing off this coast is the finest in the world. It is the true home of the Tarpon.
