Birthdays and Native Fruits.

There were a numVr of relatives and
friends rresent and a most enjoyable
time was had. A sumptuous repast was
prepared by Mrs. Morey and the desert -
was matte up oi native I runs, tne
orange predominating, and which
were grown by-Mr. Morey, right here
in Medford. In the puddings were
rusins which were also raised aud cured
in Medford and the product of the same
garden from whence came the oranges.
THE Mail feels just a little tingling
ef pride in b ;ing ab!o to thus mentiou
oranges and raisins as among the tropi
cal fruits which cau be successfully
grown. in the Rogue river valley. The
wonderful possibilities of this country
are as yet in their infancy, but we are
always glad to make note of, and en
courage, the advent of new diversities
in fruit culture. We hope Mrs. Short
may live to celebrate many more birth
days and that Mrs. Morey may be en
abled to provide, not only native oranges
and raisias, but many more of the sev
eral tropical fruits.
