tance. The apples here are extremely large, 

 entirely free from worms, fine-flavored, fair 

 and uniform in size, and they are on the 

 market practically the whole year. 



From the town of Santa Cruz we turned 

 toward the mountains and climbed a beau- 

 tiful pass which took us miles along their 

 ridge through stately redwood forests, 

 wliich Ave could thoroughly enjoy on account 

 of the safe and perfect road. 



And then we came down into Los Gates 

 in the Santa Clara Valley. This is a won- 

 derful valley for the deciduous fruits such 

 as prunes, apricots and peaches, and every 

 year thousands of visitors come for "blos- 

 som day." We drove through the miles 

 and miles of orchards, many of which were 

 receiving copious irrigation to help set fruit 

 for next year, through San Jose and on 

 through acres of truck gardens, through tlie 

 Bay cities, so called, although to me they 

 seem fused into one long city between the 

 Berkeley hills and San Francisco Bay, and 

 reached Berkeley refreshed and more in love 

 with our adopted state than ever before. 

 Next month I will tell something of our 

 trip back through the inland route.
