SIXTY BOXES OF APPLES 



PICKED FROM ONE TREE 



World's Record Claimed by Orchard Owner 

 in the Grand Valley 



GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., Oct. 24 (Special) 

 William Frey, part owner of the famous Grey- 

 Wilson orchard near Clifton, has made affidavit to 

 an apple yield from a single tree, which, it is be- 

 lieved, bids fair to take the world's record. 



Sixty boxes of Ben Davis apples, worth over $100, 

 was picked Saturday from a single tree in Mr. 

 Prey's orchard. In previous years as many as 40 

 boxes of apples were picked (from this tree, which 

 is about 12 years old, and it had a considerable 

 local reputation, but this season's record surpasses 

 all expectations. The entire orchard of 18 acres 

 has yielded 7,000 boxes of apples worth net to the 

 growers, about $15,000. Denver Republican. 



^ COLORADO 



Pays greater profits than any other land on this earth. Hundreds of orchards return a net profit of $500 per acre year after year. No other 

 app'e belt in the world can equal it. There are on^y two first class apple districts in the United States. The Grand Valley is the larger of the two. 

 It grows more fruit and of better quality, and is 1500 miles nearer the market. - "***lttB 



The Riverside Canal, now under construction, will irrigate practically all the u nappropriated land in the Grand Valley. Riverside is the very 

 choicest location in the Grand Valley for two reasons: 



First: It occupies a broad bench 300 feet above the river bottom, high above the region of spring frosts. 



Second: It lies at the foot of Grand Mesa, upon whose broad, flat top the snows of winter lie till spring, keeping Riverside cool and retarding 

 the blossoms till danger of frost is past. 



Remember, these two conditions. They are vital. They insure the superiority of Riverside for all time. Riverside and vicinity is the only 

 spot in the temperate zone vjhere all the elements of a perfect f"ruit region prevail. 



This land will increase enormously in value in a very short time. It is the best land at the cheapest price and on the easiest terms." 



On ten acres you pay but $500 in ten years, and it will then be worth $10,000, and in the meantime will pay good interest on the investment. 



Buy a 10 acre orchard tract and it will make you independent. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY. Write me at once for map and full particulars.
