MoRE ORANGES -From Rev. N. r. Peck, who
has most highly cultivated place at Ophir ex-
ceiling in beauty and variety OF pumo.osical and
| al 70 Io fau i'm
of the larger and noted places in the State, we
learn that he has also an orange tree, of which
he planted the seed with his hands, that
CAME into bearing last season, and is now liter
ally crowded with bloom and young oranges.
The fruit of last season from this tree was
equal if not superior, to any raised in Southern
California or imported. We note this as we
have the trees of Mr.. Andrews in Auburn and
Barkhaus, near Gold Hill, only to say that the
people of Placer County, south and west of the
American River, we in the garden spot OF the
world if they only knew it. w. c. Norton and
Robt. Gordon in Auburn, the Messrs Chamber
lain, in western Placer, and many others, have
thrifty orange trees ready to come into bearing
and the tests Of those that have already borne
will lend an impetus to this branch of business
in Placer that will make the orange, lemon and
lime groves on our hills and valleys as common
in the next ten years now the apple,
peach, cherry, pear, fig, etc There has been no
instance, as high up in the foothills os Au-
burn, where an orange has not ripened to per
fection in the Winter, and they bloom here in
May after all danger of frost is over, and from
these two demonstrated facts another follows,
and that is, that the orange tree grown out of
doors here is more reliable for a crop every
year than either the peach apple There
now growing and bearing in these hills and val
lies apple, pear, plum, cherry, apricot nectarne,
almond fig English walnut persimmons and
ounce with all the varieties of berry, and when
we add the lime, lemon and orange with the
other sem-trorical varieties, why do we not
speak correctly when we say we live in whgt
ought to be the garden spot of the world? "
One other word Our markets furnish the
grange. lemon and lime. These can be pur-
chased, the seed planted and the trees grown
out of DOORS and why not every man that owns
place plant seeds and raise his own trees at
homeS At two or three years old they can be
grated with scions from bearing trees, and
yield fruit the second year after, that in five
or six years at farthest each family may raise
their own lemons and oranges. 1t would not
surprise us if the day not distant when the
lemons and oranges from the foothills of Placer
would as how do ouf mountain fruit and Der
res. drive the valley, southern and imported
oranges and lemons from the city markets.
