About this postcard

A sandy drive at Garnett Grove, near St. Augustine, runs between rows of tall palms whose fronds arch over the road, with a low tree line in the distance. The printed text calls the Garnett Orange Grove an attraction for visitors and describes the entrance drive as overhung with "great moss covered live caks," likely live oaks. St. Augustine was a winter resort in the early 1900s, and scenic grove drives like this one fit the era's tourist trade.
