exception, eastern families of the highest
class and of comfortable means. Young
orange orchards, just commencing to bear,
now form the principal feature of the town;
its abundant mountain water is distributed
to hydrants, bath-rooms and fountains in
and about each house; the dry-bed of the
Arroyo, on its western edge, furnishes
abundant wood; the Sierra Madra or San
Fernando range bounds and guards its
northern side, and its site overlooks the
whole San Gabriel Valley.

occupied by a wasp, is now standing up more

CROFUTT’S NEW OVERLAND TOURIST

 

The Lake Vineyard Association has
| more recently opened up a fine tract, bor-
dering Pasadena on the east, and the two
settlements, now blending into one, have
some seventy houses, many of them very
handsome, a Presbyterian and a Methodist
church, two school-houses, stores, shops
|and a daily mail. Not alone those who
_ have their pretty homes and orange groves
there think it the most desirable of all
California’s delightful spots, but unpreju-
diced travelers, who have seen the whole,
acknowledge that here, indeed, as its
Spanish name asserts, is the “key of the
valley ’’ and that valley the far-famed and
Eden like San Gabriel.

In visiting the orange groves and old
Mission Church of this locality it will
more than pay to turn aside the two or three
miles necessary in order to see Pasadena
and Lake Vineyard.

To the right, before reaching the next
station, several huge palm trees can be
seen, like those shown on the foreground
of our illustration, on page 256. They are
the fan palm, great numbers of which are
to be seen on our route hereafter.

Passing up through the little valley,
9.2 miles from Los Angeles, we come to

San Gabriel—tThe station is on a
broad plateau gently sloping from the
mountains on the left. Far to the right,
away down on the San Gabriel River, em-
bowered in all kinds of fruit trees, and sur-
rounded by vineyards, is the old, Old San
Gabriel Mission, founded Sept. 8th, 1771.
All the old missions in California—twenty-
one in number—were founded by members
of the Order of San Francisco, who were
sent out by the college of San Fernando,
in the City of Mexico, who were of the
order of Franciscan Friars. The orange
orchard at the Mission was the first planted,
as the Mission was the first founded in
California by the old Padres. Some of the
trees are very large, and continue to bear
the best of fruit. The ‘“Wolfkill” orchard
in Los Angeles is the next in age, and the
second in size. To the north of this station,
two miles distant, is situated the

LARGEST ORANGE ORCHARD IN CALI
FORNIA—It is owned by L. J. Rose, Esq.,
and contains 500 acres. In this orchard
are orange trees of all sizes, loaded with
fruit the year round. Besides oranges,
sreat numbers of lemon, lime, almond,

sie walnut, and many other varieties
of fruits and nuts, are raised here to the
greatest perfection. Pomegranates, 5,000 in
