Report of R. Machin, Lompoc. 



The most profitable fruits grown here are about as follows: 



Apple. — The Gravenstein, Yellow Bellflower, and Skinner's Seedling are 

 exceptionally fine in flavor and texture, far excelling the quality of the 

 same varieties grown either north or south of this latitude. 



Pear. — The Bartlett is full of promise, as also the Beurre Clairgeau. 



Prune. — Much concern is felt for the French prune industry, just now 

 claiming some attention on account of its liability to crack. Thus far the 

 Bulgarian proves to be the better, and every indication points to its entire 

 supplanting for economic use of the French prune.
