Why Not Come and Grow Fruit Here Yourself? 



The Peninsula of Mar\-land and Delaware is one of the most favored sections in the world for fruit- 

 growing. Do you think we would maintain our big nurseries here if it wasn't the best place? The ocean is 

 only a few miles away. Salt air kills fungi and insects, makes leaves and bark healthy and tough, and puts 

 the finest color into fruit. Our soil is exceedingly rich, it does not leach, and it requires an average of 30 

 per cent less working to grow each crop than the usual inland soil. We have fewer enemies to contend with, 

 and many natural conditions favoring us. Add to this the fact that the greatest markets in the world are 

 only from one to four hours' ride or shipping distance away, and that you can sell anything and everything 

 you raise for highest market prices right at the railroad station nearest you, you will see that there is no 

 place like the Peninsula for fruit-growing. Our business connections enable us to get hold of many of the 

 best farms in the country, at times, and we can help you to get established. If you are interested, write us 

 fully. We can direct you to a suitable property, save you car-fare and hotel bills, save time, and probably 

 can arrange much better terms for you than you couid get by trying to locate yourself. Land is reasonable 

 here. Living is good. Come to Berlin, or write us, and learn about this section.
