Imported Stock.

Most OF the early stock was secur-
ed from California but a great deal
OF IL also came from Florida.
One of the mistakes early growers
OF citrus made in the Valley was 70
plant the trees, especially grape
fruit. too close together. Many OF
these early paintings were only II
feet apart and one OF the arguments
In favor OF this arrangement was
that later every other tree could be
removed. But II takes courage to e
move bearing trees from an orchard
and many old groves in the Valley
today are cramped because OF close
paintings.
There was no knowledge Of prun-
ing and the belief was prevalent that
fertilizer would be unnecessary due
10 the extreme fertility OF the soil
But the necessity for intelligent
pruning and fertilizing has later been
demonstrated.
Early growers also made no effort
at pest control because they suffered
little trouble in this respect. The i'm
portations Of root stocks were not
properly supervised. primarily for
lack OF funds. Thus within a few
years they were confronted with
scale and rust mite which came IN
with the root stocks.
