COURSE 23. GEAPE-GEOWING 

 Prepared by F. T. BIOLETTI, Professor of Viticulture and Enology. 



This course is intended primarily for two classes of students. 

 First, for those who know little or nothing of the subject but who 

 intend to engage in the industry and wish to do the work well and 

 avoid expensive mistakes. Second, for those who are already growing 

 grapes but wish to improve their methods. 



The course covers all the operations of grape-growing, from the 

 choice and preparation of the land to the gathering of the crop. It 

 attempts to give the student the information he needs to determine 

 how much profit he can expect to obtain and what are the best methods 

 for him to adopt. 



The course consists of a series of lessons complete in themselves, 

 but in order to obtain the full benefit of the lessons, the student will 

 be obliged to do some supplementary reading to which references will 

 be given. 



COUESE 24. CITEUS FEUITS 



Prepared by J. E. COIT, Professor of Citriculture, and 

 I. J. CONDIT, Instructor in Citriculture. 



The course in citrus fruits embraces sixteen lessons covering the 

 entire subject. The text has been written especially for this course 

 and it is to be found nowhere else. In the preparation of the text, the 

 viewpoint has been that of the beginner rather than that of the expert 

 and experienced citrus grower. The aim is to furnish practical 

 information, which will help the student in the management of his 

 grove, besides giving a broad concept of the citrus industry as a whole. 

 Technical discussions have been avoided and the text is presented in 

 as direct and simple a way as possible. 



COUESE 25. OLIVE-GEOWING 



Prepared by F. T. BIOLETTI, Professor of Viticulture and Enology, and 

 W. F. OGLESBY, Assistant in Viticulture. 



The growing of olives has been one of the most profitable of the 

 horticultural industries of California during recent years. This has 

 created a marked revival of interest in the crop and stimulated 

 extensive plantings. 



Olives have been grown in California from the time of the first 

 white settlers and at one time plantings were almost as numerous as 

 at present. The industry has not always been profitable. Indeed, for 

 many years the best groves barely paid expenses.
