Having traveled largely in Semi-tropical California, having examined closely and carefully its agricultural and pomological limits and advantages, and having written faithfully and elabo rately of this land flowing with milk and honey, and where every man may sit under his own vine and fig tree, I have yielded to the earnest ipersuasions of friends and others, and made a book. I have visited nearly every orange grove and vineyard in Los Angeles county, and gathered my statistics in person;' and I pledge myself, as a writer of acknowledged reliability, and as a special correspondent of such famous and well-known journals as the New York T imes, Philadelphia Press, 'vashington Chronicle, and San Francisco Bullelin, who has Visited almost all parts of the world in the employ of one or the other of the above-named newspapers, that I have not made a statement in the following pages that is not strictly true in every particular; and I here assert that, everything taken into consideration, Los Angeles county (the heart of Semi-tropical California; has no equal in the world. For details, I respect fully invite perusal.
