Excerpt from A Girdle Round the Earth: Home Letters From Foreign LandsTerritory. In fact, the new traveller gets hold Of the idea that there is no other sort, most Of it being SO unripe, tasteless, tough, and stringy; but SO soon as he gets into this California country, he finds he has been imposed upon; for in point Of ripeness, blush, and flavor, the fruit Of this ocean-bordered State has no known peer. I am glad to know this, having said some pretty mean things about California fruit, and having heard many others do the same. But it is not entirely our fault. TO win the market, Californians send out unripe, stringy, wilted stuff, because the ripened crop could not stand the Ship ping; Or if sent out ripe it gets SO over-refrigerated that the taste is much impaired. N 0, you must go to Rome to see the Pope; you must come to California to enjoy California fruit. NO other country gives you choice strawberries nine months in the year, and on no other tables will you find the strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry Side by Side for months and months together. Iowa strawberries come with May and go with June. Those Of California come with March and stay till December.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
