The Florida Agriculturist was a weekly newspaper published in Deland, Florida from 1878 until 1907. [1] It was afterwards published monthly and was relocated to Jacksonville until ceasing operation in 1911. [2] The paper also served as a plant catalog. [2]

The paper was published by Kilkoff & Dean. Christopher O. Codrington served as editor. E.O. Painter took over in 1887. [2]

Prior to the Chinese Exclusion Act, the paper recommended Chinese laborers in lieu of African Americans. [3] In 1888 the paper documented an ice plant established in DeLand in 1886. [4] It covered orange packing. [5]
