Report of R. J. Montgomery, Fruitland. 



The leading fruits grown in this district are apricots, peaches, oranges, 

 lemons, olives, pears, and apples. I think blackberries would pay well if 

 given proper cultivation. The mulberry, I think, should also be tried for 

 profit; also guavas. Wilson's Early and Monarch of the West strawberries 

 do very well and pay to grow. 



VARIETIES. 



Apple. — Early Harvest, Red Astrachan, Sweet Bough, King of Tomp- 

 kins County, Rhode Island Greening, Smith's Cider, Ben Davis, Golden 

 Pippin, Yellow Bellflower.

Pear. — Bartlett, Comet, AVinter Nelis. 



Cherry. — Do not think they are a success here, but believe they are back 

 in the mountains. 



Plum. — Not extensively raised. I do not think there are many planted, 

 but think they should succeed. 



Fig. — Both black and white varieties do very well in this section. 



SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY. 



Report of E. W. Hoive, Morro. 



All varieties of fruits and vines do well in this district, except cherry, 

 walnuts, and almonds (although the hardshelled almond does well in some 

 localities). Oranges, lemons, and limes do well near the foothills of the 

 Santa Lucia range of mountains, called the thermal belt. No fruits or 

 vines flourish near the ocean on account of the cold wind and damp fogs.
