Carpinteria Display At The 1917 National Orange Show
Description:
The principal citrus fruit grown in Carpinteria was lemons and it looks like this display is mostly made-up of lemons.
Bruce Morden commented:
CD Hubbard was famous for his fruit displays.? This is clearly one of his.? His CD Hubbard Fruit Company later became Carpinteria Lemon Association.? His house is still extant and is about 5 blocks from me.? I often walk by it on longer walks.? For a while he toyed with a residential subdivision called Hubbard Woods and even built what appears to be a log cabin depot along the Southern Pacific tracks near his home.? I will try to find a photo of the "depot"
Here is a link to the local paper's article on CD Hubbard by one of my neighbors, Jim Campos.
