tured gaze in the fertile parts of California.
 What a fitting preparation for ones entrance into this enchanted land, with it's blue Italian sky, it's lofty mountains and fruitfu. plains where on every hand may be seen gorgeous and beautiful flowers, stately palms, and boundless fields of apricots, prunes, olives, figs, al- monds, grapes, lemons, walnuts and the always eagerly anticipated orange.
