eltFiAp lovsliness.

Los ANGELES AND VICINITY.
The largest and best exhibit of
citfus fruits made by any one near
Los Angeles is that OF WoOdhead
4 Gay, not, however, all grown by
thsmselves, but collected with
patience from all directions. The
walls near the tables are hung with
1 boughs and clusters OF oranges of
enormous size, as II whole orchards
he'd been ravaged to supply the ma
tefials for the display. A choice
and useful exhibit Of California
made citron, lemon peel and orange
peel, attracts notice, as Messrs.
James and Parisher, the makers,
wish to contract with the farmers
for oil they can furnish. Among
the oranges here are the Tulare
county seeding and Malta Blood,
the 6weet-rind lemon, on China
lemon root, and huge cluster OF
seven shaddock, and several curious
sports In the citrus line. of odd
shape and color, are worth note.
Few Of these sports prove perma-
nent, yet their peculiar shapes
make them objects of curiosity
The largest Pumalo here is nine
teen inches In circumference and
eleven inches long. Several red
0onofA oranges are conspicuous. J.
w. WoffskiIl, of Los Angeles, has
one Of the largest exhibition of
fruits grown on his own farm. The
imported italian variety of oranges
has charm Of its own, and there
are few In the State. Wolfskill's
Best 10 notable variety. VIM.
Miles exhibits Seeding oranges and
WAlnuts.
SANTA BARBARA AND SAN DIEGO.
CONSPICUOUS in the centre OF the
