in street nomenclature, intended to sponge
out all the souvenirs OF both the first and

for awhile, particularly TO foreigners, who,

to do with the sweetness OF a flower, have got
used to the old designations, and so it is that
venture to give the new catalogue, which

the great French dramatist will be bestowed
on the thoroughfare known as D'Argenteuil.

hard to say, except it be one OF the idiosyn

Almond Culture in California.

r 3
We have read a good many articles
on the success of Almond culture in
California but according to the re-
port of the South California Hor.
ticultamist. it has after all proved a
failure. Almond culture in Florida
has not been sufficiently tested to
know if they can be grown with sue
cess here. There are several varie-
ties of almonds, and all should be
tried before we condemn it as an un-
profitable crop. We have never yet
seen Florida grown almond, the
trees that have been brought to our
notice have never produced fruit.
The Hortieu1turist says.
Much has been said about the
profit of almond culture in Califor-
MIA and Col. w. w. HOLSTERS al
mond orchard in Santa Barbara coun-
ty has been cited as an instance OF
large profits. We have never been
able to obtain definite data from
which to advocate the planting of the
almond, and have long doubted the
advisability of doing SO. We now
learn on good authority that Col. Hol.
lister is thoroughly disguised with
his almond venture, and that he is
digging up all his almond trees. His
crops thus far have not paid run
ming expenses to say nothing OF inter.
est on money Invested and profit.
