Página 12 - Give fools their gold, and knaves their power ; Let fortune's bubbles rise and fall ; Who sows a field, or trains a flower, Or plants a tree, is more than all. For he who blesses most is blest ; And God and man shall own his worth Who toils to leave as his bequest An added beauty to the earth.
Página 141 - ... of their imitators increases, and the end no man can foretell. The amount of land available in Southern California for the production of all kinds of fruit is a thing that few even of its oldest residents have any idea of. Unless one keeps constantly exploring it one knows little It is a land that is constantly expanding, expanding each year at a faster rate than the year before. Every year sees thousands of acres of vineyard and orchard shining upon land that the year before every one supposed...

Yet I do not think that too many of either of these fruits of good quality have ever been grown in any of these states, nor enough for the markets that were within practical reach of them, or the mouths that were hungry for them. The fault is with our transportation, and our lack of any far-reaching and elaborate system of distribution. I think I have known good oranges to sell at not much over one cent apiece at wholesale in...
Página 96 - In Persia, the tree comes into bearing at eight years from the planting of the seed ; in Italy, Spain, and the Island of Madeira, in about sixteen years; in France — the southern part — in eighteen years ; in England, in twenty-four years, and in California in eight years, the same as in Persia. So, I take it, the southern part of this State is nearest its home.
Página 97 - ... have to be used, even if it is not so good for the nut." *"In handling the nuts, I cure in dry-houses by artificial heat, heating sufficient to evaporate the water and set the oil of the nut. When this is done the nuts will keep sweet for an indefinite time. I have kept them as an experiment, in my store-house, which is of concrete, for five years, and at the end of that time they were as sweet as when first cured. With my facilities, I cure them in eight hours. In preparing them for market,...
Página 127 - Society. These palms are now about seventeen years old. They have been carefully cultivated and irrigated several times during the drier portions of the year. The suckers that sprang from the base of this palm in its earlier years were annually removed. Date palms have fruited in several other localities in our State. That the raising of dates for market will ever be a profitable industry in California is a problem for future horticulturists to solve, but the results already obtained certainly warrant...
Página 50 - ... to-day at a rapid rate. First — The natural flow is being saved by the construction of conduits (pipes and cement canals), which save all the water in the streams and put it where it will do the most good. Second — The natural flow of our streams is being increased by running tunnels under the bed of the streams to take the underflow, which otherwise is lost. Third — Artesian wells are being sunk in large numbers and large irrigation systems are being formed, and an abundance of water is...
Página 12 - ... like yours. That venerable horticulturist, Rev. AB Mussey, of Cambridge, his coworker, Thomas G. Fessenden, and other eminent thinkers, venture the assertion that an unlimited use of fresh fruits as food will ultimately satisfy the craving for intoxicating stimulants; and so I might add the asylum for the inebriate as one of the institutions that ought to be established in a fruit orchard, and the advancement of the temperance cause as another of your moral missions.
Página 15 - In a paper read at the Convention held at Santa Barbara one year ago, I gave a brief account of the fumigating with hydrogenic acid gas, and as this paper has been published in the last report of the Board, it will be needless for me to again describe the process here. A fuller account of this process is given in my report on the gas treatment, published in the Report of our National Department of Agriculture for the year 1887, and a supplementary report is to be published in the Report for 1888....
