Fruit Culture.
From the Picirtc Hcbaj, Parse.
The following ossay upon this lubjeot w reed be
(ore Nape Orango, No. , V. of II at Nina City, Jan. 34,
1814, by Mr. Win. II. Naah. Itwae written by him tt
the request of the Online, nil tho reading win received
with each hearty admiration that the think! of tho
Oranje were voted to Mr. Null, and a resolution passed
thattheesssy bo publlihej lu the local papers and In
the Factrio IIcral Fuels.)
Having for many yoars dovolod much
attention to this particular branch of cul
tnre, and fooling doonly intorosteil in its
success, I hftvo prepared tho following
essay, in tho hope to supply at least in
part tho popular uood of ilelluito informa
tion on tho subjoct.
The subject of this essay is ono in which
almost all classes of community nro inter
ested, and moro or loss practically ongag
ed. Indeed it is tho destro of ovory inau,
whatovor may bo his pursuit or condition
in, life, whether ho llvo in town or coun
try, to enjoy fino fruits, to provido them
for his family, and if possible, to oultivato
them in his own gardon, with his own
hands. Fortunatoly, tho soil and ollmato
of California aro so farorablo to tho pro
duction of fruit, that farmors, if thoy do
not already, must ovontfully beoomo a
community of fruit growers,
Peoples aro but just beginning to loam
tho ues of fruit, and to approciato its val
ue. Tho rapid increase of population
alono croates a domand to an oxtont that
few pooplo aro awaro of.
Tim city of San Franoisco has added
100,000 to nor numbors in ton yoars; and
seo what an aggregate annual amount of
now consumors it nrosonts. Aftor twontr
yoars' oxporionco in fruit growing in Cali
fornia, wo think it will bo excusable in ns
if wo prosumo to offer to tho farnior a few
suggestions rolativo to tho soil and olimato
best adapted to tho growing of fruit, as
woll as somo suggestions as to tho propor
season and niannor of planting tho troes.
In our California climato our winters aro
so mild that it will do to plaat at auy timo
from tho commencement of tho first rains
till tho first of March. It has now becomo
a woll known fact that many variotios of
fruit, whon planted near enough to tho
coast to bo oxposod to tho winds from tho
ocoan, aro almost total failures; but whou
this causo of dofoot is romovod by plant
ing thoso samo variotios in tho orchard
lauds of tho interior, thoy becomo not only
thrifty and produativo, but tho fruit is un
surpassed in sizo and flavor. All troos
should bo solocto J with roforonoo to tho
olimato and soil whom thoy aro to bo plan
ted. Tho poar troo in California is much moro
hardy than tho applo troo. and will grow
nud produco good fruit in almost auy lo
cality, but succeeds bost in a doop, rich
and modoratoly dry soil.
Tho poach troo succeods bost whoro tho
climato during tho summormonths is warm
ranglug from GO to OOdegroos, and tho soil
riah, moist and looso. In a cool placo,
this fruit) is often of an inforior quality,
juioy, but insipid.
Tho plum troo should havo a rioh moist
soil, and whon plantod in poor land, ma
nure should be used unsparingly.
Tho chorry may bo grown to tho highest
Btato of porfoction whon tho land is doop,
rich, sandy loam, tho wator at no timo
standing noaror than eight foot of tho sur
faco of tho ground, and whoro tho torn
peraturo during tho summor months rang
es from 40 to 80 degrees. On Mahnlob
stocks, tho ohorry can bo grown quite suc
cessfully whoro tho soil is much moro wot
and heavy.
Tho quince, valuablo for prosorvos and
jolly, can bo grown on modoratoly low
and wet land, and will produco enormous
crops.
Wo havo boon oxporiraonting with two
varietios of tho almond for a tow years,
and thoy havo fruitod to somo extent.
Liko tho applo, it succoods bost whon out
of roaoh of tho coast winds, but cannot
stand tho boat nor tho lato frosts of some
of tho interior valleys. Wo know of no
bottor rooommoudation thau to say that,
as a gonoral rulo, whoro tablo grapos can
bo grown tho almond will flourish.
Tho grapo may bo said to do woll iu al
most auy location in California that is out
of tho damp winds and fogs that prevail
along tho coast; oven in somo sholtorcd
locations very noar tho coast thoy may bo
grown quito successfully, but not of tho
best quality for wino.
Tho curraut is ono of tho most valuablo
of all tho small fruits, and is being nsod
extensively for jolly as woll as for table
fruit and pics. Liko tho chorry, it should
havo a cool summer climato, and a looso,
rich soil.
The goosoborrv should havo a warm
ntul modoratoly dry soil, with plenty of
manuro and good cultivation. If grown
in cold, damp places tho fruit will be sub
joct to blight and mildow. Tho Hawton's
seedling, however, may bo grown in al
most any location.
Tho blackberry should havo a warm,
moist soil to succeed woll.
Preparation of the soil: Plow tho ground
al least twice, and as deep as possible; tho
subsoil plow may bo used to a groat ad
vantage, and when the ground is hard, its
uto sJiould not be omitted.
Pruning tho trees at tho time of trans
planting should be carefully attended to,
'i'lio ends of tho roots, that always aro
more or loss bruised in digging, should
bo cut off with a sharp knife, and tho
branches should all be cut back to a bud
within two to four inohes of the main stem ,
leaving Uiom in a proper shape for tho
formation of tho top, 3
Wo will giro our method of plant
ing and think it will do to 'work by as a
general rule. Dig the holes circling,
three feet in diameter and two feet in
depth; tho rich soil of tho surface shonld
bo thrown out on one sido, tho balance on
tho other side of tho hole. In rotllling
tho hole throw in tho surface dirt
first, which will leave the richest part of
tho soil whero the tree will receive tho
most benefit from it; fill up the holo a
proper depth to receive the treo without
bending the roots, keeping it about the
samo depth that it stood in the nursery. Fill
in about the roots with loose dirt until
the ground about the tree is level; then
the planting is done. From tho time of
planting, the ground should be kept woll
tilled and free from grass and weedsi A
crop of carrots, boots or boans may bo
grown between tho troes, but should not
bo planted neafor than four foot to tho
trees, until aftor these have grown at loast
ono yoarpOr oarrants and goosoborrics
may bo plantod betwoon tho trcos in tho
samo manner, and may bo allowed to grow
until tho troos aro ten or twolvo years old.
The distanco that tho trees should bo
plauted apart, aro:

Tho vory common practico in rogard to
mauuro, is to apply a vory largo quantity
immediately around tho trunk of tho treo,
which is docidodly wrong, as it creates an
oxcoss of heat, and onfeoblcs tho growth
of tho treo. Tho proper way is to apply a
sufllciont top drossiug, broadcast botwocn
tho rows; this should bo woll plowed in
whoro it can reach tho extremity of tho
roots. Thoro aro niauy rich soils whoro
manuring is unnecessary.
Mulching should bo practiced in vory
dry soiIh and only with nowly plantod
trees. Would recommend sand to bo
thrown around tho trcos to tho dopth of
throo or four inches and about Bix foot iu
dUmotor. It should bo appliod early iu
May.
In protecting troes from tho heat of tho
suu in summor, it is only necessary to
protect tho trunk; this may bo dono by
means of two boards sot togothor forming
an anglo; this is plaeed on tho south-wost
sido of tho troo.
Orango Culture at Riverside.
From tho Pacinc Ui-iul l'ntn.J
Editors PnEbs: Thoro aro many persons in
California this wiuter, looking for homes here,
ami thoro aro many thousands inoro yet In I ho
Atluntio States, looking with longing ryes
towards (his our boautiful laud, ntul praying
(bat tho tltuo may coino whou thoy may bo
cnnbeil to rcaoh it.
Whllo every put of this Btato hns its attrac
tions, Bomo for ono thing, and soma for
auotlier, tliure aro nono that can compare with
Suu liernitnllno nud Los Angeles counties for
tho production of tho semi-tropical fruits.
Los AnRoles has never laokod for touguo to
slue her praise, until sho is known everywhere
ah too borne of tho ornuRo; whllo Ban Dariiar
dino, her equal lu overythiug, nud her superior
lu many, is but little known outside of her
owu limits.
Iu viow of tbeao facts, I have been induced
to pin theito hues, though moro used to the
priiuing shears than thu pen.
There is a plain of tablo, or moss laud, on tho
southenst sido of tho Santa Ana river, com
mencing six tuilo below tho town of Sau
llorunrdiuo and extending down thu river about
twonty miles, and from one hundred to ono
hundred and fifty feet above tho river, sloping
gently back to the foothills from two to eight
uillos distant. About twenty-eight thousand
acres of this plain can be irrigated from tho
Santa Ana river.
Upon this plain ii tho town of Riverside,
started by tho Southern California Colony As
sociation, ttireo years ago, aud it now contains
about throo hundred Inhabitants, who aro sup
plied with water from a ditch constructed by
the company. Tho dltoh supplies water for
domestio and irrigating purposes to over three
thousand acres of laud, onu-half of which is
now settled upon. Tho remainder is offered to
tho public at from $25 to $10 per aero. Water
Is supplied at prices barely sufficient to cover
cost ol running the ditch.
Tho soil is red clay, slightly mixed with
sand, aud Is known throughout the SUto as thu
bust for all kiuds of fruit. The oraugo is uo
excepliou to this rulo, as has been proven at
old San Bernardino, whero they produce tho
largest aud finest oranges lu tho State, entirely
free from black mould, scab, or louse, so com
mon at Los Angeles.
Tho climato at llivcrsido Is unsurpassed: iu
fact it Is as pleasant hero in December as May.
Tho company have in contemplation another
ditch, tho water right for which is now secured
aud will bo constructed as soon as uieJed,
aud whon done will supply water to twenty
thousand acres of land, mure than can now be
irrigated. It is tho object of this article to
show tho beauty, cost of productiou and
profits of orango culture: First, thero can bo
uo more beautiful place on this earth to live
thau in tho midst of an orange grove. Second,
tho coot of production. Prices of trees are as
follows: Two-year old, per 100, $'25; threo-ycar,
$00; four-year, $150; five-year, $300; six
year, per 100, $C00. Two-year old trees
aro tho most profitable, for tho money invested;
of course older oues will como into bearing
sooner. Orange trees bear at eight year
from tho seed. Lot us take ono aero of
laud at Illverslde, and calculate the oost up to
bearing condition. Tho best land, $10; one
hundred and siity two-years trees ns this is
tho number per acre wo plant $10 ; fencing.
say $20 ; and $25 er year for cultivation mid
water for irrigation from time of planting up lo
bearing, six yoars, $150 ; making a total of
$250 er acre. The first crop will yield about
two dollars per tree, nud increase each year un
til twenty-five years old. At twelve years from
seed, Mr. Hose, of Los Angeles, sold this year
$30 worth per treo; now, what is an acre of
bearing orange trees worth ? Let those who
are accumtomed to make from $5 to $10 per
acre, answer.
If people in the Altantic States could realize
the beauties of this climate, and the money
which can be made here, this place could be
filled to overflowing in two years. We have
already ruuDy thousands of trees and vines
planted here, and many thousands more In
nursery, and in a few years will havo a little
paradise of our own. P. S. Kcsull.

About Grape Cuttings.
Edito&s Patss: I have scanned the columns
of the last two numbers of the UrKib Pbich,
but get no word of advice about varieties of
grapes best for raisins, best early and late
grapes for market, selection and preparation
of cuttings, f. t.; one cutting from each shoot
or as many as the shoot will make of suitable
lengths? Should the cuttings be put Immedi
ately into the vineyardrov, or buried orheelled
in for a time? If you have heretofore treated
these subjects iu the Hciul Piums, don't for
heaven's sake refer me to some back volume
or number, as is the habit of Pro. Judd, of tho
Aoxrican AgricuiiurUt. Hundred! of new sub
scribers will be interested iu the answers, and
hundreds of old subscribers who read without
iutereat and destroyed their papers, are now
ready to put out viues aud "wautto know, you
know." Also,' the best distance apart and what
road are necessary? For raisins and the
table, ii any manure advantageous ou a light,
gravelly soil? -It nny, what kind? Where
shall I scud my llcniL Piiess to get bound?
Now we do not find the least fault with our
correspondent for desiring us not to refer to
samo back number of the lltjiut, for an answer
to his queries; but still wo must uso a kind of
discretlou iu the matter, or, iu comes n letter
from a correspondent, complaining that tho
ItcniL is being filled up with matter It con
tained a year or more ngo, aud asking us
whether wo Intend to mako it a moro reprint.
However, wo will vonturo to auswer our cor
respondent somewhat. Iu our last number wo
gave tho names of thoso grapes, which a well
know ii connoisseur iu raisin aud wiue making,
esteems as tho best; nud wo rely upon his
indgtnent until some ono proposes otfier aud
letter varieties. Cuttings should bo shott
jointed; If you can got two or threo of this
character from a single shoot, all right. The
grouud being iu proptr order, set the cuttings
whero they aro to stand in the vineyard. They
should bo sot eight feet nptrt each way, if of
tho rauk growing varieties; nud whether they
iiroor not, enquire of tho prowcr of whom you
obtain your cuttings. If of less luxuriant
growth naturally, they can bo set eight by six
feet very properly. Vlueyarillsts differ In ro
gard to tho frequency of wider spaces between
certain rows, as roads admitting carts for col
lecting tho grapes.
Perhaps wo should havo given a reason for
preferring short cuttings; it is this: Tho young
roots start out moro plentifully iiumedlaloly
nbovo and below tho joints, and not ns much
ho midway between the joints; houoo thu moro
joints uuder grouud tho moro roots. Send
either to liartllng ,t Kimball or A. lluswell,
book binders, Sau Francisco, or to us, nud you
can get two volumes (one year) lu ono book,
lu good binding for $2.i0.

In tho first placo all tho readers of tho

dropniug it in with ono hand aud stirring
it briskly with a spoon iu tho othor hand;
whon your batter is a triilo thicker than

which is fizzling hot, on tho top of your

EniTOits IIuiial Piiesh: I thought after
reading Mary Mountain's farm houso chat
in ono of tho Docambor numbers that I
would sond in my mito, iu tho shapo of n
graham bread rocipo, but various duties,
havo delayed my writing until tho present
timo.
Tho most of tho graham bread rooipoa
sav uso a portion of lino flour.
Now it does not soetn to mo that it can
bo gouuino graham, whon mado up with
part fino flour. I think that sifting tho
graham through a courso siovo is inuah
bottor. My way is to sift a common milk
pan about half full of graham flour, put
ting into it it small cup of hop yeast, half
a cup of syrup, a spoonful of salt, then
enough warm water to mako a soft spougo,
not so soft as to bo sticky, but so it will
mould out nicely; aftor kucadiug it thor
oughly, loavo it in a warm placo ovor night,
in tho morning knead it ovor aguin, put it
in pans to riso samo fino flour; it nlways
makos nioo rolls for breakfast.
