FRUIT LANDS. 



Happy Homes, Health and Wealth. 



RIZONA is divided by the thirty-fourth parallel of north 

 latitude into two climatic zones, each distinct from the 

 other. On the elevated plateau of Northern Arizona, 

 between the southern boundary of Utah and the thirty- 

 fourth parallel, four thousand to six thousand feet above the level 

 of the sea, the temperature ranges during the year from 90 to 10 

 above zero. South of this region the altitude is from two thousand 

 to four thousand feet less and the climate is much warmer. 



It is not the purpose of this pamphlet to speak of northern Ari- 

 zona its delightful and invigorating climate, its immense forests of 

 timber, its extensive coal measures, its marvelous mines of gold, 

 silver and copper, its unexcelled grazing lands, its valleys which 

 grow in endless profusion all kinds of cereals, vegetables and the 

 hardier fruits, its fertile soil equal in productive capacity to that of 

 any portion of the world, all these deserve and will receive attention 

 in a future article. 



Our subject at present will be Southern Arizona and its remark- 

 able adaptability to fruit growing.
