Description
Black and white image with extensive text: Bayard Taylor said of this locality, after visiting every part of the world: "Let me build a cottage embowered in acacia and eucalyptus and the tall spires of the Italian cypress. There shall my rose outbloom those of Paestum : my nightingale sing my orange blooms sweeten the air, my children play and my best poems be written." The great author and traveler made the above comment many years ago before the prune and other commercial trees were planted that yield the beautiful flowers of Spring and golden harvest of Autumn. Since then, much has been added to the comforts, beauties and general attractions necessary to make it the best place in which to live.
