Report of Leonard Coates, Napa City. 



Napa County produces the finest plums ever shipped, according to the 

 Manager of the California Fruit Union. All varieties of prunes grow very 

 large and fine. The leading varieties of peaches succeed well, and during 

 the present dry season their size is unimpaired, the ground being still 

 moist. Early Purple Guigne and California Advance cherries; prunes (as 

 above named); Kelsey Japan, and Pond's Seedling plums; Muir, Salway, 

 Seller's Cling, Susquehanna peaches; Alexander apple. These would be 

 my first choice, but canning cherries pay well — Centennial, Napolean, and 

 Rockportj also Bartlett pears and winter apples, including the Early Red 

 Astrachan; then Royal and Blenheim apricots. 



I would recommend the list just given, or any part of it, according to 

 soil and location; also Commercial almond and Hatch's Seedling, Persian 

 walnut. The leading varieties grown in this district are as follows: 



Apple. — Red Astrachan, Gravenstein, Alexander, Yellow Newtown Pip- 

 pin, Yellow Bellflower, Hoover, E. Spitzenburg, Winesap, Smith's Cider, 

 Cook's Seedling, W. W. Pearmain, Baldwin, Fall Pippin, Rhode Island 

 Greening, King of Tompkins County.

 Salway, Orange Cling, Lemon Cling, Seller's Cling, General Grant Cling,

 ter Nelis.

Report of John P. Allen, Ceenly. 



So far, in this locality, only few trees are grown, and they are such as
