Do You Want An Orchard 

 In The Willamette Valley ? 



In order that we may dispose of our few remaining 

 orchards, we oflfer a special inducement to purchasers in 

 the way of transportation. This special offer, combined 

 with our low prices, easy terms and a contract with many 

 attractive features, makes this a bargain not to be found 

 anywhere else in the fruit growing districts. They will 

 not last long.

 special offer.

though it shows to what extent art can 

 be applied to the production of luxuries. 



"Growers can at once retard fruit and 

 dwarf trees to such an extent that it is 

 possible to purchase during the winter 

 fruit actually growing on little trees 

 small enough to be served, pot and all, 

 on the table. Peaches thus grown (one 

 on a tree only) cost about twenty dol- 

 lars apiece, other things in proportion, 

 and the fruit is usually sold not to 

 French people, but to visitors with more 

 money than discretion, who think it 

 smart to imitate what they consider the 

 luxury of our gay capital. 



"All this care of detail may seem 

 absurd to you who have a country so 

 large and so lavishly productive as Amer- 

 ica. Still I think it is an open question 

 whether even here, where 'time is money,' 

 so much more than it is in Europe, the 

 expenditure of care and thought on some 

 neglected details might not lead to the 

 financial profit of some growers."
