Book Description
Excerpt from The California Horticulturist and Floral Magazine, 1873, Vol. 3 The cultivation of all those kinds of hardy fruits that we have already suc cessfully acclimatized in California, and of probably a great many more of ten; der, semi-tropical, and even tropical habits that may yet be adapted to our highly favored State (some of these latter have already become profitable in the warmer parts of the country), is not only an enterprise of great money value, but also very important and valuable in a social, economical, and hygienic point of view. However cheaply one country may be supplied from others with fruits, whether. In their fresh. And natural state, or canned, dried, or by the lately dis covered Alden process (which seems to prepare them next best to the fresh or canned) it can never become a general consumer of this healthy diet, unless it is raised within its own limits, and im mediately at hand. The consumption of fruit has the effect of cheapening, of course, some other articles of food, and in the careful statistics of the North western Dairymen's Convention, we find that fruit. Materially affected the con sumption of cheese, meat, and bread. Fruit supplies a more agreeable, whole some, and sanitary substance of food for man than some other articles. The many wild fruits, also, that have in the course of time been. Reclaimed. From their natural condition, or improved, mark greatly advanced steps in human progress and refinement.
