DECIDUOUS FRUIT TREES. 
APPLES. 
The localities best suited to the Apple in California are the Coast coun¬ 
ties and upper foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Some varieties 
do very well in the San Joaquin Valley. Among these we would mention 
W. W. Pearman’s Rome Beauty, Red Astrachan and Arkansas Black, but 
they are scarcely equal in flavor to the coast or mountain grown apple.
