P. BARRY A California seedling, originated by the late B. S. Fox, of San Jose; a very large elongated 
russet pear, quite late, and a long keeper, can be kept till March; an excellent pear for Eastern shipping, 
fine texture and excellent flavor when fully ripe. 
SANTA ANA A new pear, originated at Santa Ana, in Los Angeles County. It is a large conical 
shaped pear, a bright golden yellow covered with russet; it is an exceedingly handsome fruit, flesh fine- 
grained and free from all woody substance, with a flavor equal to the finest Winter Nelis or the famous 
Seckel; it will eat well when picked from the tree, and yet will keep all Winter; it is a very remarkable pear 
in this respect; its shipping and keeping qualities cannot be excelled. We consider it a very valuable ac- 
cession to our list of pears. The tree is a moderately strong grower, with upright habit, forming a close, 
compact head, makes a very handsome tree.

PEACHES. 
In order to secure healthy and vigorous trees it is necessary to prune severely. Their tendency in 
this State is to develop an immense number of fruit buds, and as they are not destroyed by frost, they 
produce more fruit than the tree can mature. The consequence is it is small and inferior. The tree 
should be trained low and pruned regularly every year. By this practice the breaking of limbs is avoided, 
and the fruit grows much larger and finer. Many new varieties have been produced in the past few years, 
so that the fruiting season has been materially lengthened. The following list contains most of the valu- 
able kinds, but the period of ripening varies so much in different localities that the time given can only 
be considered approximate. 
We have the largest and finest stock of Peach on the Coast.
