The California Culturist PDF Download

Excerpt from The California Culturist: July, 1860 Rom a very remote period in the world's history, silks and their fabrics have F ever maintained the first rank among fibril manufactures for beauty, elegance and commercial value. The geographical extent of the countries of the old world, favorable to silk production, is so limited, and the demand for its fabrics so world-wide, that its importance to the commercial and domestic economy of those provinces where it forms a staple production, can hardly be over-estimated.
