Nick wanted a time trove, and a place where he could raise other tropical fruits like papayas and mangoes and avocados. He found it at Idyl Bay Isle, In Bay Lake, some miles southwest of Windermere in West Orange County. Nick island is of II acres extent, with eight of them under cultivation. Ha grubbed it all out since taking over the island for his country estate. He also bought enough of the surrounding lake-bottom to ensure privacy.

The temperature on his water-protected bit of land has never gone below 34 in the history of Nick's supervision, the reptile authority declares. The island was covered with oak and magnolia when he took over, indicating a high quality type of high hammock soil lor the most part. Near the shore it gets rich and dark. Nick's lime grove, believed to be the only one in Central Florida of commercial proportions, is planted with trees of the new patened Ide-mor variety of this fruit, a strain controlled and introduced by the Coral Reef Nurseries at Homestead.

It is a seedless time. The bland has a natural windbreak from the trees left on the uncleared acreage, some SO to 10 feet tall, practically circling the island.
