Fig, — The Black California is the only one that has done well. 

 Nectarine. — Of no value as far as I know. Have had every variety 

 common in this State, and find them all unprofitable.

Report of A. Thornton, New Hope. 



Spring and winter apples are the best varieties here. Peaches do well. 

 Fruit raising in this section is comparatively new, but we have a large 

 body of as fine fruit land as there is in the State, and equally as good as 

 any of the choice fruit land on the Sacramento River. Our specimens of 

 fruit come up to the standard. The table grapes cannot be surpassed. 

 Small fruits do exceedingly well, and are profitable.
