 local market supplied by mountain fruit.

 middle and late do better.

Plum. — The old varieties not profitable; no market; do not bear as well 

 as formerly.

 replaced with French; Robe de Sargent does well, and is a better grower; 

 La Petite (from San Jose) is a favorite, and the Silver is on trial.
