The olive interests have passed the
experimental period, and this valley is
as distinctively the home of the olive
as other sections are of the orange, the
walnut and the raisin.
The deciduous fruits of the valley,
embracing peaches, apricots, nectarines,
prunes and pears, are all largely grown
and are found to be admirably adapted
to the soil. The apricot alone produces
from ten to twelve tons to the acre, and
on an average a cent per pound is real
