Report of J. D. Chaffee, M.D., Garden Grove. 



The most profitable fruits grown here are apricots, there being a large 

 acreage devoted to that fruit, which does exceedingly well; also, peach, 

 apple, pear, and small fruits. With our soil so well adapted, not only to 

 fruit culture, but the raising of grain and vegetables, our artesian wells, 

 our coast facilities, being only about ten miles distant from the sea, and 

 our fine climate, we consider this one of the finest localities of Southern 

 California.
