Would You Like the Fruit Growers' Profits? 



We are developing two large commercial orchards in the Willamette Valley, 

 Oregon, and can use to good advantage a little more capital in expanding the busi- 

 ness. A small amount invested will bring the same proportionate returns as a large 

 sum. We are well established and thoroughly understand the business. Fullest 

 opportunity will be given intending investors to investigate the propositions as well 

 as us. We employ only scientific orchardists who are well known in the fruit- 

 growing world. For complete information address C. B., care "Better Fruit." 



Editor Better Fruit: 



Enclosed you will find postal order for one 

 dollar for renewal of my subscription for your 

 valuable paper. I must say that of all fruit 

 papers and magazines I take I appreciate none as 

 much as yours, especially the February number, 

 which is considered in Nova Scotia to be the best 

 thing ever gotten out. You will remember the 

 writer was talking to you at the Niagara fruit 

 meeting last August about a copy you published 

 something like a year ago on fertilization of blos- 

 soms, showing varieties that were self-fertilizing 

 and other varieties which are sterile. If you could 

 send me a copy of that number I would be very 

 thankful to you for it. Yours truly, C. O. .\llen, 

 Kentville, Nova Scotia.
