NEVADA COUNTY, THE FAMOUS BARTLETT PEAR BELT OF CALIFORNIA...FERTILE LANDS AT LOW PRICES! ABUNDANT HARVESTS! LARGE PROFITS! Interesting land promotional for this agriculturally rich California county. Many woodcuts of strawberries, pears, grapes, and other fruits illustrate this land of opportunity, and the text describes the infrastructure in place to promote prosperous farms. The last forty pages contain advertisements from local merchants, dentists, stables, banks, newspapers, farms and dairies, etc. Not in the Norris Collection and rather scarce.
