Attractions the Orange Grove Lacks.

The orange grove, whatever may be its attractions, certainly does not invite one to stroll in its shelter. Oranges require incessant cultivation. The soil must be kept loose and entirely free from grass and weeds; channels must be opened for irrigation, and shallow basins to hold the water scooped under every tree. To walk in an orange grove, therefore, is about as pleasant as| to walk in a potato field.— California correspondence.
