BACK wIrn RICH TROPHIES.

Last spring notice was made in these
columns that Mr.. Henry a. Salzer. of
the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse.
Wis, Americas leading Seed Growers
and Merchants, was in Europe in search
Of rare seeds and novelties for the
American farmer and citizen.
Judging from their new catalogue, his
trip was an emineutly successful one.
1t is brim full OF rare things. OF es-
pecial merit we name the Bismarck
Apple, bearing the second year; the
Giant Flowering Star Phlox, the Ger
man Coffee Berry: and for the farmer
the Victoria Rape, Germanica Vctch,
the Lathyrus silvestris, the Giant Spur
ry and Giant Incaruate Clover; SAGA
line, and dozens of other rare things.
This wide-awalie firm is in the van,
and their catalogue, which is sent you
for cents postage, would be cheap at
81 per copy.

It was conquered and inhabited by the

CALIFORNIA LETTER.

ED. ENTERPRIsE:-In your recent issue
find the following paragraph: "0n ac-
count OF the cold waves that have visited
Florida and southern California, the
orange crop is likely to be short for the
present year" This is an entire mis-
take. The(eold wave that swept down
through the Atlantic states had no effect
upon us here. Our climatic conditions
are entirely different. The Japan cur
rent, that sweeps around Alaska, causes
the Pacific coast up to the British line to
be as mild as Virginia. Neither our
orange crop or trees have been injured
by frost. We have just had a plentiful
rain so that the crops are now assured, as
the grain is now up so as to shade the
ground and protect it from harm, from
drought
Nearly every day several permits are
taken out to put up residences, and
