DISTRICT XO. 16 



The Sacramento and San Joaquin val- 

 leys. The diversified fruit and nut prod- 

 ucts of this district are marvelous. There 

 are some localities in which the subtrop- 

 ical species are grown to the highest per- 

 fection, and others in which the apple, 

 pear, and other hardy fruits and nuts 

 thrive equally well.

 many others. 



i) Districts I.t, 16. 17 and 18 are pai-tieiilarly 

 adapted to fruit and nut culture. Perhaps no 

 portion of the earth's surface is more highly 

 favored in climate and soil and affords a wider 

 range of crop products than that lying within 

 the boundaries of these four districts. The 

 commercial value of the fruit and nut products 

 of this section is recognized the world oyer. 



• No recommendations worked out for Dis- 

 trict No. IS. The conditions, howeyer, are very 

 similar to those of the extreme southern por- 

 tion of District No. 16. and District No. 17. 

 The apple has very nearly reached its southern 

 limit for commercial culture, except in high 

 altitudes. — Ed.
