 National Apple Show, also First Prize

 Prize on Car Load of Tellow Newtowns 



This proves again the superiority of the 

 Hood River apple. Not only do they capture 

 first prizes wherever exhibited, but every 

 year the Hood River apples are the first 

 ones sold, and always bring the top prices.

THE COMMERCIAL WORLD RECOGNIZES 

 THE FACT THAT 



Hood River Valley 



Produces an apple that has superior keeping qualities over apples of any other district; it also recognizes the fact 

 that the HOOD RIVER APPLES bring a higher price per box than apples grown elsewhere. 



The general impression regarding land values of our valley is wrong, prospective buyers believing that values 

 at HOOD RIVER are higher than any other fruit district; but it is a fact that the PRICES of most of the 

 improved districts are HIGHER than they are in our beautiful valley. The highest sale per acre that has been 

 recorded was $1,950. It consisted of 6 acres 8-year-old Spitzenberg and Newtown, 4 acres of 5-year-old of same 

 variety, with $2,000 improvements. 



With $1,500 to $5,000 capital you can buy the kind of a home you are lox)king for. Improved places, which 

 will pay their way out, can be bought for quarter to half down, balance on or before five years. 



Raw land sells from $75 to $300 per acre, owing to location, drainage, etc. We have on our lists raw land, 

 lies practically perfect, red shot soil, which can be bought in 10-acre tracts at $150 per acre. 



One of the best buys in Hood River Valley for a home or investment of highly improved property consists 

 of 20 acres, ideally located, all set to commercial orchard 2 to 6 years old. Good house and barn, good team, 

 wagon, hack, new steam spraying outfit, complete set of farm implements. Price $15,000; $5,000 cash, balance 3 

 or 5 years.
