“Premium Prices’ 
“The Riland carries so well and is so unusual in color and appearance 
that I feel sure the market would absorb many times the present avail- 
able supplies at real premium prices.’’-—G. W. Coburn, Vice Pres., 
Northwestern Fruit Exchange (Washington). 
“Buyers Enthusiastic” 
“Buyers were very enthusiastic about the brilliant color and fine 
flavor of the fruit.’’ (Rilands sold on the New York auction.)—Earl 
Barnhill, American Fruit Growers (Washington). 
“Red Color—Firm” 
“We had a nice crop of Riland apricots this year. The fruit certainly 
lives up to its claim for red color. Our Rilands can be left on the tree 
a week after they are rine enough to pick—and still there was no marked 
tendency to soften, which is a distinct advantage over others.’’—H. R. 
Swanson, Colorado. 
RILAND Apricots Profitable to Grow! $26.24 More Per Ton! 
Season 1939 Riland Apricots grown at Wenatchee, sold for $52.97 per 
ton; Wenatchee Moorpark for $26.73 per ton. 
A good crop on young Riland tree, 
second season from planting. 
“Earlier Markets” 
“It is ready to pick a week to ten days ahead of the Wenatchee 
(Wenatchee Moorpark). This places Riland on the earlier markets. It 
ripens evenly, making it easy ot pick and pack—and without culls. It is 
firm and will ship well. The color, brilliant red shading to apricot yel- 
low, 1s very attractive.’’—E, Soloman, Washington. 
$20.00 to $35.00 More Per Ton 
Season 1940 Wenatchee Valley grown Riland Apricots sold for $60.00 
per ton. First Wenatchee Moorpark sold for $40.00. (Price for late 
Wenatchee Moorpark later dropped to $25.00 per ton.) 
$200.00 to $300.00 More Per Acre 
On the basis of 10 to 12 tons per acre of fruit production from mature 
bearing apricot orchards it will be seen that Riland Apricots will return 
approximately $200.00 to $300.00 more money per acre than ordinary 
varieties,
