INVEST IN A COMPANY SHOWING ACTUAL RESULTS 



Oranges from the Prudential Groves recently realised in Covent (harden fiom 37s. 6d. to 55s. per ca.se. Normal price, 

 27s. 6d.. 30s.. 35s. per case. 



Take the lower of the above returns and reckon 200 boxes to the acre, which will give a return as follows : 

 200 boxes from one acre at 30s. per box . . . . . . £300 



Return from five acres at 200 boxes to the acre . . . . ^1,500 



This would show an income of £1,300 per annum from five acres of bearing Washington Navels, but as business men 

 take another 50 per cent. off. this will leave ;^75o per annum. whi'"li is a very good return on ^625 outlay. Now be 

 pessimistic and take another 33 1-3 per cent, off, and that will leave ;iC5oo a year, the estimate given by the Company.

 to find an investment thatotVers safer and better returns on capital expenditure than a well-managed Orange Orchard 

 in South Africa."
