The orange flow is more or less local to Tulare County. In the Sacramento Valley, belt Tib, comparatively early flows make possible the package-bee busi- ness. The main honey crop of the belt, however, is produced later in the year from star thistle arid alfalfa. A check list of scientific plant names is given in table 34.
