Report of L. C. Gage, Lincoln. 



Wherever it is practicable to use irrigation to the best advantage, all 

 kinds of fruit so far tried have reaped a profit for the owner. Without 

 water the returns from small fruits would not amount to anything. Grapes, 

 peaches, apples, prunes, plums, pears, cherries, and apricots do fairly well 

 without irrigation, if not crowded and are cultivated thoroughly. 



The most profitable fruits grown in this district are as follows: 



Grape. — Rose of Peru, Muscat, Black Morocco, Flame Tokay. 



Plum. — Columbia, Bradshaw. 



Prune. — Hungarian, French. 



Apple. — Astrachan, Bellflower. 



Peach. — Hale's Early, Alexander, Late Crawford, Early Crawford, Foster, 

 Susquehanna, Salway, Twenty-Ounce Cling. 

 Pear. — Bartlett. 

 Cherry. — Royal Ann.
