week. He presented to the force
some of the finest specimens of
peach plum and apricots that we
have seen on the Pacific Coast.
The plums were of delicious flavor,
but the aprieots were without
doubt, the largest ever seen in this
county. They were as large as
peaches, and unlike those that are
irrigated, were juicy and mellow.
The largest specimen measures 81
inches in circumference, and is on
exhibition at this office.
Those who buy fruit to put up
need not pay unnecessary commits
sion to peddlers. Samples of Athena
grown plums, apricots, ETC., are on
exhibition at the Press office, that
are far superior to the crushed
and mangled article that is hauled
/, over the rough and dusty road from

er north of the city has the very
finest variety of peach plums for
saletat cent per pound.
