California Orchards and Fruit
By Editor
The Red Bluff (Cal.) Sentinel states that recently a small green apple of the Red Astrakhan variety was brought into that office, as a sample from a tree that is now full of apples, and which has already borne one large crop of good apples this year. It states that all the apple and pear trees in two orchards in the western part of town are white with blossoms, looking just as they did last spring, and that in many orchards in other parts of the county the trees are blooming the second time. We would remind our Eastern friends who may read this while snow is falling, that while California is a good State in which to live, there are a great many people here who have no orchards at all, and have no prospect of getting even the land on which to plant one; and they have to pay for the fruit they eat just the same as though they lived in a country where fruit trees bloom only once a year.
