THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
NewCalifornia 
$50 a share. 
The best California product, 
so far, is oranges, lemons, 
prunes, figs, olives, grapes, 
almonds, etc. The fruit-grow¬ 
ing center is in the southern 
part, at Riverside. Unim¬ 
proved land there is worth 
$200 to $600 an acre. An 
acre of orchard yields $100 to 
$2,500 a year. 
A still better place for these 
fruits and nuts is about to be 
opened 150 miles southeast, 
along the Southern Pacific R.R. 
The first thing to do is to 
water the land by canal from 
the Colorado River, a quick 
and easy job, involving great 
profit. Unlimited fruit land; 
nothing but water lacking, 
ready to plant as soon as the 
water is there ; and car-loads 
of vegetables will grow between 
trees in three to six months. 
The most precious thing in 
the world is water, and that is 
our merchandise. It enriches 
all that buy or sell it. With 
water, within five years, the 
land will bring $500 an acre, 
some of it. Water creates in¬ 
credible values. 
We want a share of our 
stock in good hands at every 
post-office. In a year we shall 
want the people to know we 
are ready for settlers. 
Send for pamphlet and map. 
We want you to know what 
wealth and health await our 
partners and customers there.
