Excerpt from A Winter in Florida: Or, Observation on the Soil, Climate, and Products of Our Semi-Tropical State; With Sketches of the Principal Towns and Cities in Eastern Florida, to Which Is Added a Brief Historical Summary; Together With Hints to the Tourist, Invalid and Sportsman
There are no good pastures at present for cattle the wild grasses and shrubs on which this present neat stock subsist would not do for dairy stock and whether or not the soil and climate are favorable to the growth of northern grasses, we cannot say, though we see no reason why clover should not grow luxuriantly. There is one way, at least, as practicable there as anywhere, and that is stall feeding; but that would be an extravagance and a labor unheard of. All the butter used is brought from the North, chie¿y from the new-york market. Beef is also imported, but generally from some of the Southern cities with which steam communication is had. Florida beef we met with Occasionally, which was very good, being both sweet and tender; though this does not tally with the experience of others who have traveled the State.
