There is certainly no better way To advertise
the wonderful resources of the central and
northern portions of California than that of
making citrus display. There is no longer
any question as to the adaptability of our land
and climate to orange and lemon-tree culture,
as well as the deciduous varieties.
When the wonderful results obtained in Yuba,
Butte, Placer, Sacramento, Solano, Yolo and
other counties are known and fully understood,
even by our own people there will no longer be
hesltancy about setting out orange groves in
all localities favorable TO their growth.
We predict for the Marysville fair abundant
