the north side of the hall. Considering
the time of year the display of fruit, much
of it from General Bidwelrs place at Chico,
was extremely fine. 1t consisted of mel
ons, grapes. pears, apples, peaches, Siberian
crabs plums, etc. point of interest is
the Chico canteloupe melon. This is a
large, fine-fiayored variety, a hybrid from
the cassaya and canteloupe melons. The

portion of the plant-thirty feet long, was
also shown. There were, besides, oranges,
walnuts, almonds, figs, pecan nuts, per-
simmons, Eastern and japanese eighty
varieties of grain and a fine show of pump

three months to arrive at maturity after
the seed was planted. There were also
specimen bottles of Chico olive oil and
canned fruits in great variety. Also medi
cine and balsanis for throat and lung dis
eases, procured from the abietine tree,

which was large, varied and attractive.

The display of Newcastle fruits, under
the direction of Mr.. Boggs, was one of the
largest and finest in the exhibition.
One of the finest specimens in the fruit
display was a limb of an orange tree,
brought from the ranch of r. n. Scott at
Newcastle, upon which were large num-
Der of oranges of the size of base balls.
Some of them were golden yellow, others
turning from olive to golden, and others
quite green.
