Description:Excerpt from Palo Alto: The Town of the Leland Stanford Junior University Alo alto is located thirty-three miles south of San Francisco. The southern arm of San Francisco bay is three miles east of the town, while a 'distance of five miles west is the Santa Cruz range of mountains, two thousand feet in elevation. Midway between the town and the mountains is a range of foothills. The ocean is eighteen miles distant. The town is situated in a grove of live oak trees, which give a beautiful efiect. These trees dot the entire valley, forming one ofits most distinctive features, and are much admired by vistitors. The houses are embowered in roses, jasmine and other climbing Vines, and the grounds adorned with palms and semi-tropic trees and shrubs and rare owers that blossom at all seasons of the year. Wild owers are plentiful, and among these the California poppy (the Spanish cup of gold) is a particular favorite, its yellow owers never being absent from fields and byways. The climate of this valley is notably mild and even. In winter it is rarely cold enough to form the thinnest ice, and during some winters the most delicate mof plants and owers are uninjured by frost. The rainy season is not unpleasant, as the rainfall is usually in showers, with perhaps two or three gentle stormslasting from two days to a week. The summer is free from extreme heat, the nearness to the bay and the ocean breeze serving to equalize the temperature. This sec tion is especially favor able to those who need a mild climate, and the 'healthfulness and the inducement to outdoor living make life a pleas ure to all.
