Placer County Exhibit.
| In the northwest corner of the horticultural
| department OF the Pavilion is an exceedingly
noteworthy exhibit whicl. attracts the attention
of all visitors. 1t is the exhibit of Placer county
and Ike that of San joaquin, is not only attrac-
i've, bIt testliieS most strongly 10 the product
iveness OF soil, geniaity of climate, and thrift
| OF the people from those sections. Placer county
is developing at the present time, perhaps, faster
| than any other county III the State and il pos
! sesses almost an endless opportunity in this di-
rection. Hills and valleys which two wears ago
/ were unbroken chaparral ana wooded under
growth, are. now becoming cleared. and orch
! ards and vineyards are fast succeeding them.
| This work, however. is but just begun, and COM
p,Hatiyely only along the railroad, which runs
! through the central part Of The county,
| Noticed among the exhibits of the county,
/ which occupy about sixty fcetsquare in the part
! of the Pavilion already mention ed is the dis
play of grapes which is very extensive and at
| tractiYe. The entire display is, however very
| tastefuly arranged, and adding to its effective
! ness is the prominent inscription printed in
| bold letters upon white cloth, and extended
| across the rear wall, over the entire exhibit
Placer fraitis the lest, is mines the richest.
| its transportation facilities the most conyen-
! lent. its scenery the grandest, its climate the
healthiest and most delightful of any portion Of
| California +"
| The extended show of grares exhibited, and
! their quality, certainly testiics to tue richness
OF soil and adap;ability OF climate. They in
clude forty two varieties Of grapes, covering all
/ the best kinds of table and wine grapes. These
! are arranged upon plates in fancy shil ping
! boxes and hanging iii luscious clusters. The
specimen clusters range i'll weight from full
grown two-Ounce punches OF Zante currant
| graz eS to from twelve to Eiteen-pound clusters
of Black Morocco, Atuscat and Red TANNER A
/ noticeable quality of the grapes from this foot
! hill section = their superior staying, shipping
quality, possessing, as they do, but 8 small uer
cent OF water. The clusters having the largest
| berry of any in this counIy'S exhibit are from
! Mount Peasant, about ten miles northwest Of
| Newcastle
| Of apples. % varieties of fall and winter are
! SEEN from The iruinutive Siberian crab To the
mammoth Gloria Mundi. As a class, the apples
| present an exceptionally fine appearance, and
| possess the other pointSof excellence. Thirteen
varieties of pears are displayed, and rs is be-
| coming well known, the toothil and high alli-
tudes grow fruit of this Kind, superior 10 that
| grown in the valley. /. L. CrOcker, of Horse
! shoe Bar, exhibits three crops of Bartietts from
the same tree, grown the present year, and ].
| w. Smyth from the same place, contributes
! Bell pears weighing 80 ounces. Some unusual ly
| fine ounces fill one table, covering four yarie
ties, and 50 plates. Some well-named ones are
| the Mammoth GOldens, from the orchard of
| Z. Booth. of Roseville, and which measure ~
! inches in diameter. Thirteen varieties of
peaches are contained in the collection, al of
| quality and color that delights the eye of the
connoisseur. In fact, they are beauties and no
/ mistake. Over 80 plates are covered with
| them, and they might well be chosen to tempt
! the gods. Among the plates the now celebra-
/ ted McDevitt cling is conspicuous or Plums,
ten different kinds and 100 plGtes greet the eyes.
! They include all the choicest varieties Cf p ums
! ana pruneS now in season. They are fully up
TO the standard of other fo0thill fruit and some
| branches showing remarkable burdeus Of the
| fruit are hanging Ill the display samples of
natures prodigality for the orchardists of that
| section.
Outside of fruits there is very fine display
OF grains, vegetables mechanical products, etc.
Noticeable among these are cucumbers, melons
and squash, each about a yard long and
still cut short In their growth by early picking.
| \ beautiful display of grape wines and brandies
of excellent quality and put up with great taste
| is worthy the attention of the visitor. A pol
| isbed section OF manzanita two feet six inches
| in diameter, may here also be seen, perhaps for
the first and last time, as it is a remarkable size
| for this shrub tree.
1t is interesting to reflect that the fruits and
vegetable growths in this display were grown al
| attitudes covering from 100 feet to 1900 feet
above sea level, and that abundant evidence is
| furnished that even at the higher altitude
named, as far up the mountains as Blue Canyon,
good results await intelligent effort i'll agricult-
uTal and horticultural pursuits.
