oranges they are not so generallly planted, but the 
planting on the higher and more protected lands of 
the five southern counties, viz., San Diego, Orange, 
Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara, has as- 
sumed quite extensive proportions. There has also 
been able to successfully compete with the Florida 
fruit in the Eastern markets. This is due to two 
reasons; first, sufficient care has not been exercised in 
selecting types of fruit particularly adapted to our 
soil and climatic conditions ; and secondly, we have

been considerable lemon planting in the protected 
sections along the east side of the San Joaquin Valley. 
The present moneyed value of California's annual 
lemon crop is about $12,000,000.00, so it will be seen 
that lemon culture has become an important factor 
in our horticultural outputs. 
Pomelos (Grapefruit) are not being planted as ex- 
tensively as either oranges or lemons. While they do 
extremely well and are prolific bearers, we have not 
always insisted on trying to market our fruit before 
it is thoroughly mature, thus giving the consumer the 
impression that we cannot grow a good pomelo. 
With the advent of bud selection and state laws 
prohibiting the shipment of immature fruit we hope 
to put a superior quality of pomelos on the market, 
and thus demonstrate that we can supply the con- 
sumer with fruit equal to the best. Pomelos will 
grow wherever oranges do well, but reach a higher
