ENDORSEMENT OF THE
HON. J. ROSS BROWNE.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 2S, 1874.
VIM. II. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union--Dear Sir:--I have just Wis.,
tied the "Centinela and Sausal Redondon
Rancho and driven over the land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience.
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tract in fertility of SOIL
beauty OF location, and advantage of easy ac-
cess and salubrity ofcihiate. For purposeso of
colonization, know of no large body of land
so near a growing commercial centre, In Cali
fornia or elsewhere, TO equal it, No part of 1t
is unavailable for farms, orchards or home-
steads 1t can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hundred acres and
every acre of ii can be made productive. Water
is abundant ana convenient. Tue land is
subject to easy irrigation; and lean vouch for
the fact that 1t Will produce anything that
fourishes in Los Angeles or Santa barbara
counties. IL Is my confident opinion that the
value of shares In this magnificent tract will
be quadrupled within two years-such is the
extraordinary influx of immigration to the
vicinity of Los Angeles at the present time.
Wishing you success in your undertaking,
am, very truly yours, j. hoss BROWNE

Semi-Tropical Fruits.

There are a few bearing orange and lime
trees upon the Centinea, and the fruit they
There is an orchard containing 5000 orange
trees three years old, and 1,700 almond, lime
and lemon trees. The almond, lime and
lemon trees will bear fruit in 1875. The or
1000 three-year-old orange trees in the nur-
sery near the orchard. Fig, pepper and gum
trees grow without irrigation. The entire or
cbard can be taken care OF by three men with
six horses. The orchard will be Kept undi-
vided by the company to save the expense of
each shareholder having few trees to take
care of. Each share will entitle the owner to
about Is trees in the orchard and about the
same number in the nursery. The almond,
lime and lemon trees will yield an immedi-
ate return. In five years each orange tree will
produce $40 per annum, or $500 per share for
those now planted. There are flowers in the
garden in bloom every day in the yea lH

How TO Build the Independence Road.

The proposition is that the people of
this county shall take $500, 900 worth Of
stock, and the road will be built.
Now, how can this be done? For
each person to come forward and sub
scribe is not practicable. 1t brings
the burden only on the liberal ones,
and that in amounts unequal. Now
we suggest the following plan: Let
enough persons whose aggregate
wealth is $lO,O00,000, subscribe three
per cent. each. In this way the
amount on each one will be small.
The proportion equal in its cost to the
benefit accruing to each person. The
assessed property this year Is over
$12,0O0,000. Our plan leaves a margin
of $1,000 900. If the assessment roll is
not deemed equal, let the matter be
equalized by any reliable committee
Of citizens. Under this plan, cannot o
greater amount be raised than by any
other? " ~ tHs W.

THE PLANTING OF THE APPLE TREE.


Come let us plant the apple tree:
Cleave the tough green sward with the spade;
Wide let its hollow bed be made;
There gently lay the roots, and there
Sift the dark mould with kindly care,
And press II DER them tenderly,
As round the sleeping infants feet a.
We softly told the cradle sheet; a.
SO plant the apple tree.
What plant we in this apple tree?
Buds, which the breath of Summer days
Shall lengthen into leafy sprays,
Boughs where the thrush, with crimson
breast,
Shall haunt, and sing, and hide her nest;
We plant, upon the sunny lea, s6fs
A shadow for the noontide hour.
A shelter from the sunny shower,
When we plant the apple tree.
What plant we in this apple tree?
Sweets for hundred fowery springs
TO load the May winds restless wings,
When, from the orchard row, he pOurs
It's fragrance through our open doors; q
A world of blossoms for the bee,
Flowers for the sick girls silent room, ..,s
For the glad infant springs of bloom,
We plant with the apple tree.
What plant we in this apple tree?
Fruits that shall swell Ia sunny June,
And redden in the August noon,
Aud drop, when gentle airs come by. aIfs f
That fan the blue September sky,
While children come, with cries ofger,
And seek them where the fragrant grass
BetrayS their bed TO those who pass,
At the foot OF the apple tree
And when above this apple tree.
The Winter stars are quivering bright,
The winds go bowling through the night,
Girls, whose young eyes overflow with mirth,
Shall peel its fruit by cottage hearth, .ti.t
And guests In prouder homes shallsee, :
Heaped with the grape of Cintra's vine,
And golden orange of the Line,
The fruit OF the apple tree.
,ri,a f,,itooa of tbie a N nIa troa
Winds and our flag of stripe and star
Shall bear to coasts that lie afar,
Where men shall wonder at the view,
And ask in what fair groves they grew;
And soourners beyond the sea =
Shall think of childhood's careless day,
And long, long hours of Summer play,
Tn the shade of the apple tree.
Each year shall give this apple tree
A broader flush ofroseate bloom,
A deeper maze of verdurous gloom.
And loosen, when the frost-clOuds lower
The crisp brown leaves in thicker shower.
The years shall come and pass, but we
Shall hear no longer, where we lie,
The Summers songs, the Autumn'S sigh,
In the bOughs ofthe apple tree.
And time shall waste this apple tree.
o, when its aged branches throw a1i
Thin shadows on the ground below,
Shall fraud and force and iron will
Cypress the weak and helpless still?
What shall the tasks of mercy be, l.e
Amid the tolls. the strifes, the tears .f445
Ofthose who live when length of years
Is wasting this apple tree? IL ~
"Who planted this old apple tree?"
The children of that distant day
Thus to some aged man shall say; ea
And, gazing on its mossy stem, 5
The gray-haired man shall answer them:
"a poet Ofthe land was he, rt
Born in the rude but good old times; fE
'Tis said he made some quaint ldrhymes
On planting the apple tree."
