Printed Text: TUCK'S POST CARD CARTE POSTALE. POSTKARTE. (FOR ADDRESS ONLY.) By Appointment. Florida has its State Capitol in the city of Tallahassee, which was selected principally on account of its advantageous location from a geographical standpoint. Florida, often called the "Peninsular State," has an area of 58,680 square miles, and was admitted to the Union in 1845. The State flower is the japonica. Florida was so named, in 1512, by Ponce de Leon, because it was discovered on Easter Sunday, which, in Spanish, is designated "Pascua Florida." Raphael Tuck & Sons' "Oilette" "STATE CAPITOLS, U.S.A."
