Report of G. N. Whitaker, Santa Rosa. 



The leading fruits grown in this district are: late fall and winter apples, 

 Bartlett pears, French prunes, table and wine grapes, and these are about 

 what I would recommend. 



VARIETIES MOST LARGELY GROWN. 



Apple. — Yellow Bellflower, Gravenstein, Red Astrachan, Twenty-Ounce 

 Pippin, Baldwin, Yellow Newtown Pippin, Ben Davis, Clyman Pippin, Fall 

 Pippin, Spitzenberg, Smith's Cider. 



Peach. — Late Crawford, Early Crawford. 



Pear. — Bartlett, Winter Nelis. 



Cherry. — Gov. Wood, Black Tartarian. 



Plum. — Egg, Coe's Golden Drop, Jefferson, Washington. 



Prune. — Petite d'Agen, Oregon Silver Prune. 



Fig. — Common Black. 



Report of C. A. Bodwell, Jr., Lakeville. 



There is as yet very little land in this immediate vicinity devoted to fruit 

 raising, the principal agricultural pursuit being the raising of wine grapes; 

 however, the planting of trees is attracting more attention than heretofore. 

 Nearly every land owner has a small orchard of mixed fruits for family use. 



FRUITS RECOMMENDED FOR PLANTING. 



The French prune and Bartlett pear on any heavy soil, such as adobe, 

 make good growth and bear heavily. Apples and late peaches do well on 

 lighter soil. Plums do remarkably well, as well as the prune. 



VARIETIES GROWN. 



Apple. — Yellow Newtown Pippin, Baldwin, Gravenstein, Yellow Bell- 

 flower. In the absence of the high temperature so frequent in the interior 

 valleys, nearly all the varieties of apples do well, where the codlin moth is 

 kept in subjection. 



Peach. — Orange Cling, Salway. 



Pear. — Bartlett, Duchesse d'Angouleme. 



Cherry. — Napoleon, Black Tartarian, Governor Wood, Rockport. 

 Plum. — Coe's Golden Drop, Columbia, Jefferson, Yellow Egg. 

 Prune. — Oregon Silver, Gross, Petite d'Agen. 

 Fig. — California Black. 



Report of C. P. Nolan, Occidental. 



We have some of almost every variety of wine grapes, and are gradu- 

 ally working our vineyards into the choicest varieties. We are troubled 

 bat very little with pests, with the exception of the codlin moth, which we 

 are trying by every means to exterminate.
