I . LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, SATURDAY. MARCH 18. 1911. ' ' ' n n PAnr. 7 , 1 The Men Who are Raising Fruit Know Best Read what Green & Sawyer have to Say Concerning Grande Ronde Fruit. GREENE & SAWYER. Hardscrabble Orchards. Imbler, Ore., Febry. 17th, 1911. " La Grande Investment Co., La Grande, Oregon. Dear Sirs:. We have your inquiry as to what we think of the quality of the fruit in the Grande Ronde valley as judged by our experience this past year, and we feel free to say that while we are familiar with the Hood River, Yakima and Wenatchee districts we do not i- now of a location where so many varieties are at their best, and as far as we know there are only two varieties that do not do well hereSpitsenburgs and most given up the Winter Banana, that led the mar ket this year as to price, because they do not stanc shipment well, yet ours were as hard and firm as you could desire, and would ship fully as well as Jona-i hans and as you know we received a high price for them (5c apiece on the tree) we are so well pleased with them that we intend planting Bananas in all blanks. The writers spent some three or four months at Hcod River last year and did not see any Yellow Newtons there, though it is one of their specialties, that were superior to those we raised this year, either in size or color and our opinion of them is pretty well borne out by our taking first prize with our New towns at the "Fruit Grower" Apple Show at St. Jo seph, Mo., where we were in competition with apples from twenty-one states' and British Columbia. We also took two first prizes at the Eastern Oregon Ap jie Show at Elgin on our "Rome Beauties," and af ter the show sent a box of them to the judge, he hav ing been particularly pleased with them and having ing expressed the opinion they were the finest Rome Beauties he had ever seen, and the most perfect spec imens of any variety exhibited at the show. Last fall we sent samples of our apples to the Northwestern Fruit Exchange 'at Portland, through whom we finally sold our crops and we quote from their letter to us Oct. 17th, commenting on our fruit "The Ganos are extremely good and the color is as? high as we ever saw for this variety, such fruit would be quite arractive if sizes are good. .The Jonathans are very well colored. The Ben Davis some very good color, so poor. The Newtowns are very good. If you grade this fruit as to color there is no reason why it should not be sold for full-value compared with the best districts." , We also quote from a letter from Steinhardt & Kelly, New York, Oct. 26th, who sell the entire Hood River output. We sent them samples when they ex pressed a doubt as to our fruit being as high grade as we thought it, they say, "We don't blame you for being:enthusiastic regarding your crops, and we real ly must say that the fact that your apples ripen sc late is of great advantage to you in disposing of your crops." We did not ship any of our crops of apples until January and at that time they were as hard and firm as the day they were packed. The prices at which we have sold our fruit speak pretty conclusively as to the quality, Ben Davis $1.25 per box, Ganos $1.25 and $1.40, Wageners $1.50, Rome Beauties $1.50 and $1.75 and Yellow New towns $1.75.
