Description
Shown is a 1910 postcard and an oversized lemon sitting on a flatbed trailer. According to a Sacramento County California booklet printed in 1910, lemons had a gross yield per acre of 200 to 700 dollars. The citrus colony of Fair Oaks was one example of a local citrus colony that grew lemons. In 1900 the colony contained 1,200 acres of orchards primarily planted with lemons, oranges, olives and almonds. The citrus orchards prospered until a freeze in December of 1932.
