The annual distribution of seeds and plants is now being made by the agricultural experiment station at Berkeley. From a circular received from Prof. E. J. Wickson, director of the experiment station the following interesting facts are taken: Interest in this form of distribution, which has been maintained by this station since 1880, when it began in a small way, has during recent years maintained great interest. The weak point in the distribution is that too many recipients forget the obligation they assume, viz., to report to us the results of their trials of the plants which we introduce to them. We desire to know of both successes and failures, of both value and worthlessness found in the plants, in order that their behavior in the hands of our cooperating experimenters may be clearly made out. Aims and Methods of Distribution To reduce as much as practicable the vast amount of correspondence which is entailed upon the station by the distribution, we desire that the following points should be carefully considered by the applicants: First—Do not apply for things not mentioned in this bulletin. We cannot supply things previously offered for distribution. Second—We require the applicant to pay a small amount for each article, partly to bear the cost of collection and distribution, but chiefly as ed by heavy bunches of scarlet or purplish berries. The seeds are not edible, but the tree may serve as a stock for the pistachio nut of commerce. Exceedingly well suited as an avenue or shade tree. It will probably stand zero or possibly lower temperatures. Propagation—Sow the seed, preferably in shallow flats or in a well prepared seed bed containing a mixture of half sand and half loam or, better still, cocoanut fiber or well rotted leaf mold in place of the loam; cover to one inch. They will sprout irregularly in from six to ten weeks if kept moderately moist. Transplant to small pots or permanent locations as soon as the wood becomes sufficiently hardened. This is necessary as the plants are exceedingly difficult to transplant. We desire to call this tree to the attention of California nurserymen, to parties planning reforestation work, especially in semi-arid regions, to those who desire a stock for the pistachio nut of commerce and in general to all who desire a handsome and drouth resistant shade and avenue tree. Seed in packets, 5c each, postpaid. Endive This is a vegetable of considerable merit, which in California has not yet received the attention it deserves. That Endive is so little grown in this state, we attribute to the fact that its good qualities are not particularly well known. Endive is capable of being used in two distinct ways. As a salad plant its value is only surpassed by lettuce, and as a boiled vegetable it possesses a distinctive flavor which makes it universally liked, and used in this latter form it is quite a valuable addition to such plants as Swiss Chard and Spinach. As a salad plant its value depends largely upon its being properly grown and thoroughly well blanched. Blanching induces delicacy and tenderness of difficult matter, is unconversant kinds might ease. For this reason ing a series of riety trials of le few years, and sition where we to the kind to that we can best a good variety seed for trial. Of lettuce these types: the Loche Crisp-leaved the Close-heading The latter two lar types in C preference is g ed.

We cannot supply things previously offered for distribution. Second—We require the applicant to pay a small amount for each article, partly to bear the cost of collection and distribution, but chiefly as a guaranty that he has not merely an idle desire for what can be had for nothing, but intends to make a trial for a definite end and will report results to us. Third—Applications may be made for one or more kinds of seeds, but an applicant should not order more than one package of a kind. If the supply of any kind of seed becomes exhausted the money will be returned, unless a second choice is mentioned by the sender. Postal notes are requested instead of stamps, whenever practicable. Any surplus left after filling orders will, as far as possible, be returned to senders, deducting letter postage. The Chinese Pistachio We are indebted to the Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction Division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a small supply of Chinese pistache seed, from the Province of Shantung, China. The following description and notes are furnished by David Fairchild, agricultural explorer in charge of the division: The Chinese Pistache is a very ornamental tree with compound leaves, resembling the California pepper-tree but the limbs not drooping. Well adapted to dry regions and very long lived; a tree standing at the grave of Confucius has a diameter of over four feet. The tree is dioecious, the carpellate flowers being follow- Endive is capable of being used in two distinct ways. As a salad plant its value is only surpassed by lettuce, and as a boiled vegetable it possesses a distinctive flavor which makes it universally liked, and used in this latter form it is quite a valuable addition to such plants as Swiss Chard and Spinach. As a salad plant its value depends largely upon its being properly grown and thoroughly well blanched. Blanching induces delicacy and tenderness of eating and can probably be best effected by bunching up the leaves and tying with string or raffia, or by spreading hay or straw thickly over the plants. It is as a winter salad plant that Endive has its best claim to notice, for it grows with far less warmth than lettuce, and consequently is palatable at a period when lettuce is almost sure to be bitter on account of its slow growth under winter temperature. Staghorn A robust growing kind which finds flavor with the eastern and European growers. The best to use as a boiled vegetable. Triple Curled An English variety of handsome appearance, blanches well, and is crisp and delicate of texture. This unquestionably is the very best of all varieties from a salad plant point of view. Seed in packets, 5c for each variety, postpaid. Lettuce Thorburn's Maximum or Henderson's Immensity It was pointed out in our seed bulletin of last year that of certain vegetables where a large number of varieties is offered, the similarity of their catalogue descriptions made the task of choosing the best variety a ANAHEIM GAZETTE Extr'ordinary Announcement Watch Us Grow.

For this reason we have been making a series of rather extensive variety trials of lettuce during the past few years, and we now feel in a position where we can offer advice as to the kind to grow. We also think that we can best bring the merits of a good variety to notice by offering seed for trial. Of lettuce there are four distinct types: the Loose-heading, the Cos, the Crisp-leaved Close-heading, and the Close-heading Oily-leaved type. The latter two are the most popular types in California, and general preference is given to the last named. Our trials have demonstrated that there are not only a large number of varieties of this type of marked excellence, but also that there is one variety decidedly superior to all others. This is the kind known as Thorburn’s Maximum or Henderson’s Immensity. In appearance and eating qualities it is all that can be desired, and is much like the old California Cream Butter, excepting that it grows to nearly twice the size of that old favorite, and viewed from all points it is certainly the lettuce par excellence of its own particular type. Seed in packets, 5c each, postpaid. Tomato Improved Stone Undoubtedly the most popular market variety of tomato for growing in California is that known as “The Stone.” It is a kind of some years’ standing, and every year seems to mark an advance in its popularity, both for local demand and the eastern market. In the southern part of the state, quite a considerable acreage of it is grown every year for shipment east, and it is from that a demand has been made for an improved type. Although the Stone tomato is probably the nearest to the Word of the arrest has been sent to San Jose. It is thought Cavaliera was going to Mexico when taken up here for vagrancy. A committee of the Santa Ana valley irrigation company appointed to revise the bylaws of that corporation has finished its work, and the amendments it proposes will be submitted to the stockholders. It recommends that the capital stock be raised from $100,000 to $250,000. Several attempts to increase to $500,000 have failed, and the figure is put at $250,-000 as a compromise that seems likely to be approved: With the capital-stock raised, the company will be able to obtain a larger amount of money than hitherto for development work. The committee recommends that there be established a board of auditors to examine all papers, bills, accounts, etc., passed upon by the directors. FULLERTON About four years ago E. W. Lawrence purchased fifty-five acres of unimproved land in La Habra valley, five miles north of here, for $6500. Nearly all the tract was set to orange and lemon trees, the expense not being great. Mr. Lawrence has sold the property for $36,000, fifteen acres to O. T. Stephens and forty to Mr. Espolt. This is one of the biggest and most profitable sales made in this end of the county for some time, and shows what may be done with raw land in a few years. Only a few years ago land was selling in this valley at less than $100 an acre. Today some of the improved places fetch $1000 an acre. Several years ago Frank Mayor purchased a twenty-acre tract for a small sum in La Habra. He set it to walnuts. Recently he sold for $20,000, or $1000 an acre. Eleven tons of walnuts were sold from the trees this year, at about 12 cents a pound. CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES The men who are in charge of the appropriation bills in Congress and the republican leaders in both the Senate and House have a hard task before them. The administration has sounded a note of warning that a policy of retrenchment must be adopted and that appropriations must be held down. The leaders have approved this policy and members of Congress generally say it is a move in the right direction. Difficulty is experienced, however, in putting into effect a practical working scheme to save Uncle Sam’s money. At the Navy Department it is insisted that two battleships must be authorized at this session. At the War Department there is opposition to any plan for a reduction of the standing army. Senators and representatives of both political parties are extremely anxious that an omnibus public buildings bill shall pass this winter. Their constituents demand it and will think they are without influence in Washington if they are unable to get through an authorization for a new postoffice building in their district. From the arid states of the West comes a demand for an extension of the reclamation policy, while from the various parts of the country there is an insistent demand that rivers and harbors improvements shall not be further delayed. The State Department wants embassies provided in some of the old world capitals to the end that this country may increase its prestige among the nations. And so ad infinitum. Members of congress who are for retrenchment in one direction insist that the appropriations shall be increased in other ways. When the iniquity of an increased appropriation approaches local demands even the most austere advocate of retrenchment “will take his shriveled hand without resistance and find him smiling as his step draws near.” The man who want to cut and clash right SANTA ANA Officers believe they have a Mexican in the county jail here who is wanted by the sheriff of Santa Clara county for murder. Three Mexicans were taken before Justice Smithwick, charged with vagrancy. The trio were caught on a Santa Fe train, on which they were stealing a ride. They gave the names of Tony Preciado, W. Andiens and F. Stacey. Constable Smith wick spotted the man who gave his name as Preciado as fitting the description of Antonio Cavaliera. He compared a likeness of the alleged murderer with the accused vag, having just received a card from the sheriff of Santa Clara with suspect's picture and details. The three men were given ten days for vagrancy. LETTER LIST Dan Budges, Mrs. Mortina Test, R. Lugo, J. A. Yorba, Geo.
