            One of the prettiest and most desirable places in the Napa Valley is 
the ranch of Mr. John Ames, situated about one and one-half miles from Napa 
City, on the Sonoma road, at the base of the foothills.  The ranch comprises 207 
acres.  There are twenty-five acres in bearing orchard, fifty acres of beautiful 
land and the remainder of the ranch is hill land, much of which is adapted to 
vines and trees.  Mr. Ames is replacing many of the trees with more desirable 
varieties.  On the premises is a handsome residence of modern architecture and 
conveniences, built by the proprietor six years ago.
