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.
Yours truly,
GREENE & SAWYER,
