CALIFORNIA FRUITS: HOW TO GROW THEM 



to which it is best adapted free from curl in Vacaville district; fruit a good 

 shipper and canner and peculiarly adapted to drying because of exceptional 

 sweetness and density of flesh; yield, one pound dry from less than five pounds 

 fresh. One of the best California seedlings. Claimed by some to be identical 

 with Wager.

 pit, reported by W. A. Rosander, Kingsburg, A. S. Coon, Fresno, and H. R. 

 Shaw, Selma.
