Caption

Text from newspaper caption: San Bernardino Again Hostess as National Orange Show Opens: San Bernardino, orange capital of the world, for the next ten days is the official hostess of Southern California, the sixteenth annual National Orange Show having opened its gates to an eager public yesterday at the beautiful little city in the shadows of the San Bernardino Mountains. More elaborate, more spectacular, more colorful than ever, this year's show promises to attract a greater attendance than ever before and leave a more lasting impression of the majesty of King Citrus and his court. The photos reproduced below were taken by Times staff photographers a few minutes before the official opening of the show [Los Angeles Times, 19 Feb. 1926: 8]
