New Citrus Varieties.

AT the last meeting of the State Horti-
cultural Society b. M. Lelong showed
two interesting citrus fruit varieties
which are but little known In this state.
but which may become of prominence
and value.
One is the orange of Joppa, taking it's
name from the famous old seaport of
Palestine. The fruit shown by MIR. Le-
long was grown upon scions secured in
Joppa by Californian taveler who saw
the fruit there and brought the scions
home with him.
The orange is large, seedless, exceed
ingly flne-grained and free from rag
the significant term which Is applied
to the fluffy white layer which, lies be-
tween the true skin and the pulp. The
orange, though seedless, has no rudi-
mentary seed vessel which forms the
characteristic mark of the navel orange
and occupies part of the space of the
fruit with a non-edible material
The other fruit shown by Mr.. Lelong
was genuine Villa Franca lemon grown
from stock secured in Portugal Mr..
Lelong claims that the common villa
Franco lemon as grown in California is
not true to name. Among other objec-
tlons in this common variety is scant
foil age which does not protect the fruit
The genuine Villa Franco has good
foliage.
AS the stock of these varieties is now
introduced and bearing fruit in this
state, the distribution of them will no
doubt soon be effected.-Rural Press.

Grape Growing.

The state vitleultural commissioners
have received the annual report OF George
West, the commissioner OF the San
Joaquin district. IL appears that In the
county OF San Joaquin the entire acreage
of vines Will not exceed 5000. Three vlne-
yards are devoted exclusively to the pro-
iuctlon of table and wine grapes. both
Of which are very profitable.
Stanlslaus county contains thousands
of acres OF fine land which will soon be
developed by irrigation and viii then be
well adapted TO the growth OF raisin
grapes.
Merced county now has nearly 2o0O
acres of vines and this season win see a
urge acreage planted In muscats. Wines
and brandles of good quality have also
been produced.
Kern county has about 1900 acres of
muscats, mostly young vines, all doing
WELL
Tulare county contains 485 grape
growers owning 10000 acres Of vineyards,
$500 Of which are In bearing. Few wine
grapes are grown. All OF the raisln vine
yards are In a thriving condition.
Fresno Is the banner grape-Rrowing
county of the state. It comprises AZ, 500
acres of vineyards owned by 1900 growers.
There are 5000 acres planted In wine
grapes and 4s.909 acres In raisln grapes.
The wine vineyards are nearly all In
full bearing. The vintage OF 1890 was
probably the largest that win be seen In
California In many years. Ports, sherries.
angeilcas. tsweet muscats and brandies
of excellent quality are produced I'm that
county.
1t is upon the raIsln business that the
chief interest OF the grape-gruwers Of
the San Joaquin district Is eentered. The
number OF vineyard proprletors now In
the valley aggregates upwards of 2S0o.
most OF whom are growing ralsins There
are d.490 acres in the district planted In
raisin grapes, 10000 Of which are In bear
ing. but not half of these In full bearing.
Twenty thousand acres are also planted
In the state outside of the valley These
vineyards viii produce when in full bear
Ing 100000 boxes, making total ~
100000 boxes OF raisins annually from
the vineyards now planted for the entire
state. The total consumption OF raisins
In the United States is now 3,250. 900
boxes, including diIed grapes. The yield
from the vineyards already planted In
California viii, when In bearing, be more
than double this amount. The California
product OF 1895 may be estimated at
100000 boxes, and the American con-
sumption at 100000 boxes, without fur
ther planting.
Commissioner West, In view OF these
facts, advises viticulturists To study the
future OF the industry before planting
any more raisin vineyards. He also dis
courages the planting at present OF any
further wine vineyards.

mediately, as we have sixty acres OF six
year-old olive trees bearing splendldly.
We have large force OF men at work
laying out the ground and planting trees,
and by spring we expect TO have over 700
acres planted with olives. The severe
winters In southern Italy and southern
France have totally destroyed the crops,

the river swept away many houses and

At the same time the continent of

of their inmates. The harbor at Geneva
froze over for the first time since 1880.

New Breed of Ponltrr-

A veracious correspondent of the Rural
Press writes from Briceland, Humboldt
county; We have queer breed OF
chickens here, which is a natural pro-
duction of this vicinity, having first ap-
peared on several ranches here in the
spring of 1889. The chickens do not have
feathers, but instead are covered with
long, hairy-like down. They are fine
layers and we call them "Rustlers" from
the fact that they are very Industrious
and hardy and wander farther in search
of food than other chickens. They can
not fly and are very desirable on that
account. 1t would be well for some one
to collect them and experiment with
them, as 1 believe that they are the
boss. 1 think that they would furnish
excellent down for pillows bedding, etc.
They seem to have sprung from crossing
the Plymouth Rock with other breeds OF
chickens; or has one ever heard of such
chickens in other localities? They are
new here.
