The number of commercial apple orchards is increasing at a very rapid 

 rate but there are still opportunities in this industry in Northern Virginia. 

 There are great areas of suitable land which have not yet been set to trees. 



The Southern Railway Company, realizing the great advantages of 

 Northern Virginia as a place for homes and for agriculture has under- 

 taken to present, in a conservative way, the attractions of this favored 

 region. 



The main line of the Southern Railway trav^erses the heart of this 

 region made famous by the homes of the early Presidents from Washington, 

 D. C. to Charlottesville, Va., through the counties of Alexandria, Fairfax, 

 Prince William, Fauquier, Culpeper, Orange, and Albemarle. A branch 

 leaving the main line at Manassas, in Prince William County, traverses 

 Fauquier, Warren, Shenandoah, and Rockingham Counties to Harrison- 

 burg, and another branch, leaving the main line at Calverton, in Fau- 

 quier County, extends to Warrenton, in the same county. In addition 

 to the towns already mentioned, there are located in this region, Alex- 

 andria, Culpeper, Orange, Fairfax, Remington, Front Royal, Riverton, 

 Woodstock, Strasburg, Newmarket, Mount Jackson, Broadway, Lees- 

 burg, Haymarket, The Plains, Middleburg, Marshall, Markham, Upper- 

 ville, and other progressive towns. 



To those who dwell in the most densely populated region in the United 

 States, extending along the Atlantic Seaboard from the Potomac River 

 to the northern boundary of Massachusetts, the Southern Railway 

 affords convenient passenger and freight service to and from this attractive 

 region, where there is still room to stretch oneself. Passenger schedules 

 are arranged with special reference to travel to and from the Eastern 

 cities, adding to the attractiveness of this region as a place for country 

 homes for residents of those cities.
