A. I. L. OFFICE OF STATE BOARD OF HORTICULTURE, SACRAMENTO, CAL., April 3, 1900. To His Excellency HENRY T. GAGE, Governor of California: SIR: In compliance with requests made by fruit-growers and persons engaging in the citrus industry, as to methods pertaining to the culture, preparation, etc., of citrus fruits, we have caused a research to be made covering almost every phase of the industry, so far as we were able to do. Through the assistance of experienced growers of our State, we have completed this report, which we herewith submit. The compilation of the material comprising this volume required personal inspection of the sections where such fruits are grown, as well as much painstaking research and study. Respectfully submitted. ELLWOOD COOPER, President. |
