HoUister is the mail address, the ranch 

 is really in the San Juan valley. Near- 

 by is the sleepy town where stands the 

 old mission of San Juan Bautista and the 

 fine old adobe residence built by General 

 Castro in the days when California was 

 a province of Mexico. 



C. C. Morse & Co. are now established 

 on their great new seed farm in the San 

 Juan valley near Hollister, Cal. Here 

 they have 90O acres in one piece, as level 

 as a floor and having a frontage of two 

 miles on the county road. This is to be 

 the "home farm," and though opera- 

 tions were started only last September, a 

 large number of buildings have been com- 

 pleted, including oflSces, warehouses, 

 roomy and comfortable quarters for liie 

 large force of men employed, barns for 

 the hundred head of horses, blacksmith 

 shop, garage and a village of other 

 buildings, including a fine residence for 

 Superintendent Landrum. The harvest 

 of the seed crops promises to be a good 

 average, aside from sweet peas, which are 

 not up to the mark. An interesting 

 sight here is a block of 130 acres of rad- 

 ish, nearly all Long Scarlet. A few miles 



away the firm has 450 acres more in the 

 various staples, all in good shape. They 

 still hold 650 acres at Gilroy, but that 

 point is no longer headquarters. 



The Kimberlin Seed Co., with head- 

 quarters at Santa Clara, Cal., has a total 

 of 650 acjes in seed crops this season, of 

 which 470 acres are near MiiT>itas. The 

 larger portion of this acreage is in on- 

 ions and it presents a fine appearaui-e. 

 It has been well cultivated and the 

 growth has been strong and vigorous. 

 The remainder is mainly in lettuce, which 

 promises a good yield, with the exception 

 of Big Boston, in which there has been 

 some loss from blight. The Kimberlins 

 are well satisfied with the crop results 

 this year, in view of the unfavorable con- 

 ditions last spring. Though the father 

 of the present members of the firm was 

 one of the pioneer seed growers in the 

 Santa Clara section, they now have no 

 holdings near their home town. It is not 

 exhaustion of soil that has driven them 

 away, but the fact that the wild morning- 

 glory has become such a pest there. This 

 weed does not start growth until late in 

 (Contlmed on pajje 70.)
