Fruit and Fruit Culture
The name, "Fairview," is given this
property because, that being located as
it is. on a slight eminence, a view of all
parts of Medford and a good portion of
the valley can be had from any part of
the land. Nearly all of this land has
been cleared and has been under culti
vation for a number of years. The soil
is of an exceptionally fine quality and its
adaptability to fruit-growing has been
proven. This land will be sold upon the
Installment Plan.
Payments may be made at 1.2f per
week. per month or $lf every quar
ter, or a liberal discount will be made
for all cash purchases.
The success attending fruit culture is
no longer an experiment. B- direct anal
ysis the soil is found to contain all tho
elements required to produce fruits from
the semi-tropical to the hardiest varie
ties. Over these favorable conditions
hangs a climate co-ordinated and adjust
ed to the nature of the soil.
