Excerpt from Homeland: A Description of the Climate, Productions, Resources, Topography, Soil, Opportunities, Attractions, Advantages, Development and General Characteristics of Polk County, Florida

The desirability of a home in this fair, fertile, balmy, healthful and progressive interior section of South Florida, in Polk County, Where cold and stormy winter never enters; where plenty abounds, enlivened with bright and soul-cheering sunshine, fragrant and healthful breezes, overflowing with the balsamic aroma of the majestic pine forests and the perfume of countless flowers; the attractions and advantages of a home in homeland will be considered in these pages.

Here can be made the true homeland, for which the human race has ever sought. Here can be realized humanity's brightest dreams of an Eden upon earth, with no tempter serpent to awaken unholy desires, nor flaming sword to prevent the full enjoyment of the choicest delights that can be appreciated by the most refined, virtuous, intelligent and contented people, that may here make for themselves the most pleasant and delightful of homes.

In homeland every one can sit beneath the shade of his or her own vine, fig and orange tree, with none to molest or make afraid, while bounteous plenty, like a fair and loving goddess, pours the con tents of her overflowing cornucopias at their feet; the choicest products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones.
