GEORGE WASHINGTON
This famous sentiment, uttered by the Father
of His Country at the surrender of Yorktown, is
rthe keynote to the argument in favor of investing
in orchard land in the fertile Umpqua Valley.
An investment made now in an orchard tract in
this wonderful fruit land will constitute a legacy
to posterity that will provide a home in the most
delightful climate and locality in the world and an
income of $5,000 a year with less effort and uncer
tainty than any other pursuit that can be followed.
In the heart of the famous Umpqua Valley, the
oldest and earliest fruitr section in Oregon, there
is your opportunity to invest now on small pay
ments in an orchard that will keep you in luxury
the balance of vour life.
The fruit-r.aising industry has1 shown a marvel
ous growth in the state of Oregon. Her apples
are found in all the large markets of the world and
bring top prices.
Xhe Umpqua Valley broke the world's record
this year in production and quality of Spitzenberg
apples. One acre produced 1,200 boxes of choicest
Spitzenbergs that were sold on the trees at $2 per
box.

We care for your tract for three years,
planting and cultivating your trees
While you are working at your business, we will pre
pare your land, plant your trees, cultivate them and de
velop your orchard.
This plan enables you to reckon with certainty the
time that you must remain a prisoner of your business.
Your orchard, once in bearing, will net you a magnifi
cent income, and you can then throw off the yoke of toil
and live at leisure and in luxury.
Decide today to be your own landlord and employer.
Consult us in regard .to prices and terms of payment
A Roseburg Home Orchard Tract is within the reach of
every man' or woman who can lay aside a small amount
each month.
A five or ten-acre tract in a few years will make you
independent. It will earn you a better income without
worry than you can earn in your business.
The climate and soil of the Umpqua Valley are all that
could be desired for apple and fruit-raising oi all kinds.
Crop failures are unknown in this locality.
Inter-tree cultivation will almost pay for
your orchard before Jt domes into bearing
We will cultivate potatoes and other root crops be
tween the trees while they are growing, and give yoa one
half of the profits.
This inter-tree cultivation has proven most profitable
in the Umpqua Valley, and one half of the profits should
almost pay for your land.
Once'in bearing, the market for your fruit awaits you.
Eastern buyers contract for all choice fruit before it is
picked, and pay prices that make fruit-raising so profitable.
