This grove was only 22 months old when the photograph was taken from which this picture was reproduced, and the trees are said to be the largest in the world for their age.

The Isle of Pines

is 90 miles south ot Havana, Ouha only four days from New York by fast ei-prcHS steamers. It is an Island of eternal June, swept by ocean breezes and protected by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream from the blighting frost which devastate the Florida groves. There are no frosts. Hoods, droughts, cyclones or earthquakes. Irrigation for fruit trees is unnecessary. No coughs, colds, rheumatism or fevers uo sunstroke or heat prostrations.

The American District of Cuba

The Isle of Flues is in every sense the American District of Cuba. You will feel as much at home there as In your own native State. Hundred of Americans have settled there and others have bought laud, looking forward to it us a future home. Over 9." per cent, o' the Island is already actually owned by Americans ami more imiu nair lue 1K. ' -'I TV. f :--.i..VII iwinntiuuii m Aiuencan.

Climate Frostproof.

There is absolutely no danger of frost in the Isle of Pines. The thermometer has never fallen below 50 degrees, and the killing frosts that periodically visit Florida, Texas and California, causing thousands of dollars loss to the growers, have never been known in the Isle of Pines. Protected as it lay by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, there is no more danger of frost than at the Equator.

The climate of the Isle of Pines in summer is cooler than that of many cities. Owing to our fine sea breezes.

Our 500-acre groves

An immense orange and grapefruit grove of 500 acres 45,000 trees has been planted in the midst of the McKinley Colonies, and is owned by the purchasers of the surrounding acreage. People come hundred of miles to see these magnificent groves, which are said to be the third largest body of citrus fruit trees in the world.

Pioneer Stage Passed

The pioneer stage in the development of this wonderful garden spot has been almost passed. The Colonies have General Stores, Sawmills, Blacksmith Shops, Good Hotels, Bakeries, Nursery, American Schools, Church Services (a Concrete Church Building to cost $3,000 is being contracted for). Town Hall, scores of American Houses and Bungalows and a hustling American population which helps support a Bank, Wireless Telegraph and Steamship Company, and which is rapidly making the Isle of Pines a second California!

Enormous Increase Certain

Everybody knows how land values have increased in California. Some years ago land sold there for $3 an acre. When a Yankee Colonist proved they could produce navel oranges there by planting only two trees, prices rose like magic, a ten-acre orange grove there in full bearing is worth $10,000, and uncultivated land sells at $200 to $500 an acre.

The big 500-acre groves and some of the smaller private groves in the McKinley Colonies will soon come into bearing. It needs no prophet to tell the effect this will have upon land value.
