California 
California grows more fruit than any 
other state in the Union. It is not as 
large as Texas but its coast line on the 
west, its high mountain ranges on the 
east and west extending from north to 
south through the whole length of the 
state, and its great central plain, the cli- 
mate of which is modified by the ocean 
breezes cooling the temperature in sum- 
mer and modifying its severity in the 
winter, make it better adapted to all kinds 
of fruits, from the semi-tropical to the 
hardier fruits grown generally in the 
northern climates, than any other portion 
of the United States. It has a great 
variety of soils, as well as of climate. 
Sometimes within a few miles of each 
other, two different points, on account of 
altitude, wind currents, ocean breezes, or 
difference in soils, may be adapted to the 
growing of fruits that are generally found 
at great distances from each other, in 
689 
other parts of the United States. Caili- 
fornia grows fewer apples than New York, 
Pennsylvania or Missouri, and a number 
of other states, but not far from the ap- 
ple-growing region may be found oranges, 
lemons, and other semi-tropical fruits. 
These fruits have produced immense 
wealth and have enabled the inhabitants 
to make beautiful homes, while at the 
same time there are regions that partake 
largely of the nature of the arid districts 
of other states. It has a coast line of 900 
miles.
