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]

Editions are available online.[6]

The Codrington family home is extant.[7] Codrington also published the Deland News.[8][9]

In 1927, E. O. Painter's printing company published a history of Volusia County.[10] It published The Colonization of Ormond, Florida in 1931.[11] Painter also established a fertilizer business.[12]
