Report of Scipio Craig, Redlands. 



Where all the conditions of soil and climate are favorable, no fruit grown 

 can compare with the orange for continuous profit. Then comes the apri- 

 cot, then raisin grapes, peach. This section is rapidly being turned into a 

 gigantic orange orchard, other fruits being taken up to make room for that 

 king of fruits. Where the conditions are not thoroughly satisfactory, the 

 apricot and raisin grape contest for the supremacy. Apples and cherries 

 are grown in the mountains; elevation from two thousand to four thousand 

 feet, and are fine.
