 stint of our capabilities in the production of fruit, all in the 

 open air, asking and needing no protection from the weather 

 or climate. One grand advantage we possess, unlike our 

 southern neighbors, is, that our fruits all grow without ir- 

 rigation, requiring no care other than good cultivation, a 

 requisite also, where irrigation is necessary.

 the cultivation of prunes, which is one of the chief products
