They were of choice flavor and kept well. The fig, quince, cherry and plum trees bore abundantly.
 The peach was grown in abundance: they bore no fancy names and were desig- mated as the freestones and clingstones. In size flavor and beauty of color they were perfection. The Indian peach was very hardy. bore heavily and seemed al most entirely free from disease. The fruit was deep red in color, were clingstones and a good eating variety. Where there existed an Indian settlement orchards or this peach were standing, and the pio- neers found them very useful. Many believe their native home was in the Spanish settlements and old missions of the southwest. Peaches for winter use were preserved and dried.
