There were noticed also numerous
varieties raised both on sweet and
sour roots, and in flavor, color, tex
ture and appearance there was no
preceptible difference, budded and
sour stock being fully equal in every
particular to that on the sweet. A
large branch from wild orange tree
laden with fruit, lent to the interest
ing display. Also an orange tree in
pot, one year old, seven feet high,
grown from a sour stock. In the CEN
ter of the table was large basket
lcomposed of oranges, and near this,
in small gilt baskets, resting on an
elegant bamboo easel, decorated with
brouse leaves, were a number of Or
anges from the parent Riverside

das ist wahr!" And with all her
varied exhibits she may be found in
the extreme northwest corner of the
central portion Of the hall. Here the
varied exhibit has destroyed the ar

a superb lot, too. In the center of
the table large growing cala-lily, in
full bloom, contrasts favorably with
the rich, fine-colored and very large
Navels in masses, boxes and platters.

land, walnuts. The exhibit, which
does great credit to Anaheim, was in
charge OF F. N. Schaumbarger, and its
success is due in the main to this
gentleman's efforts.
But for beauty, perhaps the center

general appearance of which has
has been described heretofore, is per-
haps the most attractive. In the
center, rising almost to the gauze
lined canopy, is huge pyramid Of
navals, contributed by D. W. McCloud
of Riverside. On the apex OF this,
in a glass receptacle, are several
clusters of Muscatel and Emperor
grapes, picked fresh from the vine on

A unique and characteristic display
was that of A. P. Johnson, of River
side.

attention. A triangular pyramid of
beautiful light colored St. Michael or.

king of oranges, the Riverside Wash

with English ivy, completed the in
ventory.
J. Fl. B. Chamblin exhibited fine
array Of oranges and lemons in pyra-
mids and platters, the quality and ar.
rangement showing good taste.
w. H. Backus' display Of Washing

to any Of that variety. 1t was ar

display consisting of an elongated
pyramid of navels surmounted BY an
elegant plush bannor bearing the in
