OVIEDO, ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA.

I am a little boy seven years old, and live in South Florida, on

Lake Jessup--a large lake in Orange County. My father has a

beautiful orange grove, and some of the trees are just loaded with

oranges. We also have a pine-apple grove; but the strangest thing I

ever saw is a pawpaw-tree; it is bearing and blooming at the same

time, and the shape of the fruit is like a musk-melon in size, and

my father could get a hundred dollars for it if he were to try. I

have some pets and other things, but I won't write about them now.

I have been taking YOUNG PEOPLE for nearly a year.
