Plump, sun-warmed grapefruits cluster on the branch in glowing hand-tinted color on this early Florida agricultural promotional card — a mouth-watering symbol of the Sunshine State's citrus boom sent from Lutz, Florida on December 3, 1921. The sender, who signs as "Auntie" writing to a man named Bill, paints an irresistible picture of the Florida good life: camping amid butterflies, robins, and — with a winking nod to Prohibition — "White Lightning," joking that it's "same as Port Huron." Bill, addressed as a baggage man for the F. & P.M. railroad in Port Huron, Michigan, is tantalized with the prospect of owning a five-acre grapefruit farm worth $5,000. The 1-cent green Washington stamp (Scott #405 or #406) is cleanly cancelled with a Lutz, FL machine cancel dated December 6, 1921 — just three days after the card was written, reflecting efficient early rural mail service. Card no. A-26645.
