OPENING ADDRESS. 



DELIVERED AT THE SECOND ANNUAL CITRUS FAIR HELD AT OROVILLE, 

 BUTTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 18 TO 22, 1888. 



By Hon. A. F. Jones, of Oroville. 



In presenting Mr. Jones, Hon. John C. Gray made the following remarks: 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: We meet here to-night for the purpose of open-

 citrus fruits of Oroville and vicinity. It is no wonder that those who have

 sound business judgment woke our people to the fact that we live in a 

 land, the fairest on earth. I have the pleasure of introducing to you Hon. 

 Albert F. Jones :

 come from abroad to witness this exhibition, and ascertain by personal 

 observation whether citrus culture is an experiment simply with us, or 

 whether it has progressed to a realized success, I beg leave to call your 

 attention briefly to the history of the growth of this industry in this section 

 of California. 



It was prior to the year 1860 when the semi-tropic nature of our climate 

 attracted the attention of the residents of Bidwell's Bar and caused an ex-
