"Los ANGELES, October 27th, 1879." 



The Los Angeles Daily Herald copied from the Pacific Rural 

 Press of March ist the following report of the committee ap- 

 pointed by the Horticultural Society Branch Fair at Riverside. 

 The committee consisted of L. C. Waite, of Riverside, W. R. 

 Olden, of Anaheim, and Dr. O. H. Congar, of Pasadena : 



"Four specimens of the Navel orange, grown upon different 

 stocks, were tested. The properties of the citron were strongly 

 impressed upon the fruit of the tree on citron stock. The same 

 was true of the lime stock, with the exception of the thickness 

 of the rind. One specimen, grown on the Chinese lemon root, 

 has a rind five-eighths of an inch in thickness."
