Bernard Fox
In 1852, Bernard Fox, a highly respected botanist from Boston, left Massachusetts with a large number of trees bought a short time earlier by Commodore Robert Stockton. After spending a year and a half with Stockton, Fox sought to build a nursery of his own, and arrived in the Orchard area in 1853.
