REAL ESTATE 



I make a specialty of handling Avocado orchards and 

 vacant land suitable for Avocado culture. 



I am acquainted with the soil, climatic and other condi- 

 tions of the different locations and I am thoroughly convinced 

 that the Whittier vicinity is the best Avocado section this side 

 of the tropics. 



Here we have the best land and abundance of cheap 

 water. 



Here we are high above the frost, being situated on the 

 south slope of the Puente hills, which afford us protection from 

 the deunaging north winds and dust storms. 



We do not suffer from the heat-waves, because the sea 

 breeze in the Spring and Simimer months gives us a humid 

 atmosphere, akin to that of the Tropics, which is the most 

 essential factor in setting, holding and maturing this delicate 

 and valuable fruit. 



Do not try to raise any crop out of its natural elements. 

 When you do so you are greatly handicapped and are always 

 laboring at a disadvantage. So when you desire natural Avo- 

 cado land, be sure to look up WHITTIER. 



You will always find abundance of fruit here, no matter 

 what adverse conditions have prevailed. Whittier sets and 

 gets the fruit. Already I have sold young Avocado groves for 

 over five thousand dollars per acre, and I cam conservatively 

 say that a seven-year-old Avocado grove, set to Lyon, Haber- 

 sham, Fuerte or any other choice variety, in this section, would 

 be cheap at ten thousand dollars per acre. 



Fifty trees or more per acre, three hundred or more fruit 

 per tree, twenty-five cents or more per fruit. Figure up this 

 elastic problem with your india-rubber* pencil and when you 

 see the results you will, thereafter, always be an Avocado 

 Optimist.
