We take pleasure in advising the trade that for the third consecutive time 

 practically the entire crop of this noted valley has been purchased by us. 



The early fall varieties are now rolling and will be succeeded within a 

 week or two by the noble NEWTOWN PIPPIN, the delicious SPITZEN- 

 BERG, the magnificent GOLDEN ORTLEY and such other varieties as 

 grow to perfection only in the Hood River Valley.
