fornia oranges. The Spanish rancheros,
VINO had lived by cattle-rasing and
wool growing in this reg ion, were unable
to give any advice upon the subject of
lemon culture, for they had no patience
with any one who spent his time with
such little thing as that, when it was
easier and more dignifed to own herds
OF cattle. So the Yankee newcomers
had to learn by experience how to carry
it on in strange land and under new
climatic conditions.
The first lemon grove planted on a
large scale and with the intention of
producing fruit TO compete in the east
ern markets with that from the Medi-
terranean countries was in Riverside
which is, blythe way. the largest orange
producing locality In the United States.
The zeal for lemon growing spread to
Pomona Valley, to Santa Barbara,
Ventura, Ontario and Pasadena. In a
few years several hundred acres of trees
were planted in southern California
But what dear teacher the experience
of lemon culture has been! A long cat
alogue of experiments, dscouragements
and failures might be com piled from the
first half-doz N years of developing
lemon growing into prosperous indus
try. A great deal of knowledge still re-
mains to be obtained by the growers
about the proximity or remoteness of
certain varieties of lemon from the ocean
shore, but the most important and costly
lessons have probably been learned.
PROBLEMS FOR GROWERS.
But while it was found several years
ago that a shapely, thin-skinned and
juicy lemon could be produced on the
tree, it was difficult task to cure the
fruit 50 that it would not only not rot
and show blemishes, but would retain
it's pungency and oiliness of peel, as we'll
as it's full acid juiciness from the pick
ing season in winter until the following
summer, when it is wanted by the con-
sumerS. That has been the most diff
cult problem in the whole industry. A
large volume might be written about
the vast number of theories as to the
proper method for accom- plishing this,
and of the constant round of expert
menting that has been going on in
every grove and In every horticultural
community in southern California to
fiud how to cure lemons economically,
so that they will keep longest and best.
In Santa Barbara county the wealthy
Croker family (of Central Pacific rail-
road fame) has alone expended some
$25, 900 in great stone buildings, with
tiled roofs and cellars, for the purpose of
demonstrating that lemons may be cured
so as to keep fresh and Juicy for seyen
or eight months.
There is no reason for gathering lem
ons, as is the case with all other fruits
grown in this country. For that reason
grower saves money in his harvest, be-
cause with the help Of one person he
can easily gather and take care of all
the fruit grown in grove of ten or
fifteen acres. The times when most
lemons are picked are early in January,
early in February and again in March
but all well.cultivated trees have fruit
ready for picking during ten months Of

and long seasons of horticultural expert
menting and an expenditure of several
millions of dollars, the yield of the lem
on groves throughout this region has
been very large during the last twenty
months, and there has been good de-
mand for the fruit at excellent prices.
The state horticultural commission re-
ports that profits of $3.50 an acre from
lemon groves were not uncommon in
1895. and that some had yields which
have sold at the rate of even $500 an
acre.
There are good reasons to believe that
California lemons have made a perma
nent market for themselves. For years
there was little or no call for the pro-
duct in the eastern states. The number
of wholesale fruit dealers who now
want the sale Of the product, the de-
mand the lemons had even in England
last summer, and the many new refrig
orator cars the tranScontinental rail-
roads have built purpose'y for the trans
portation Of lemons to the eastern states,
are facts that cheer the man who has
spent number of long years Of hard
work and thousands Of dollars in grow.
ing them. The disastrous freeze in Flor
ida and the severe frosts in the citrus
fruit regions along the Mediterranean in
January, 1895, caused an extraordinary
dearth of lemons in the big eastern fruit
markets year ago, land turned attention
to the California crop. From that time
the growers have found their yield in
active demand, and many of them have
prospered beyond all expectation. The
growth Of the lemon industry is one of
the marvels in southern California. In
1885 there were less than fifty acres of
groves in this region; in 1890 there were
5000 acres, and in 1892 there were 5000
acres. 1t is likely that the area planted
to lemon trees will be further increased
to 10000 or II, 900 acres in two or three
years more. Rough estimates put the
capital invested in California in growing
and curing lemons, with all the appur-
tenances. at S3.8OO.OOO The fact that
the average annual importations Of
this fruit in the United States in the
last five years have been 2,712, $50 boxes,
valued at So, 245, 900, apd that California
now grows only about one-tenth of that
amount, has given the horticulturists of
this semi-tropic land reason to believe
that they may in time drive the Medi
terranean lemons from the markets, as
they have driven out the foreign prunes
and raiSlnS.
NEW INDUSTRY.
While lemons have been grown in
southern California for over q hundred
years, the cultivation of the fruit as
commercial industry dates only from
1882. The Franciscan monks who came
from Roman Catholic universities in
Spain in the latter part of the eighteenth
century to civilize and Christianize the
savages of the Pacific coast brought the
first seeds here. But because the monks
knew nothing of the science Of horti-
culture as now practiced in growing Cit
rus fruits, and paid no attention to the
adaptation of the trees to their proper
soils, lemon growing about the adobe

There is no limit to the harm he may
do. As one prominent Democrat has
