John W. Dennis, Newtown Apple
King of Great Britain, Says
Rogue Fruit Leads the
Entiro Globe.

John Vf. Dennis, tho New
town npplo king of Qrcnt
Britain, snys:
"Rogue River frait is su
perior to any other that
reaches England from tho en
tire globe."
Rogue River fruit com
mands highest prices because
of its superior quality. It
reaches England in splendid
condition.
There is no reason why
Medford Bartletts should not
be shipped to England, with a
precooling station in this
city.
a
"The Rogue River valley produces
the finest fruit that reaches England
and that is the sole reason that the
highest prices are paid for it. Your
pears have no competitors the world
over."
Such was the unqualified state
ment of John VT. Dennis, the New
town apple king of Great Britain,
who visited Medford recently nud
who has been handling Rogue River
fruit for the past 12 years. 5L
Dennis' firm imports the greatest
amount of fruit received by any one
firm in England, and also has han
dled the fruit which has broken the
world's records in prices. lie awards
to the Rogue River valley the palm
of supremacy in tho raising of high
quality fruit.
"This is a wonderful valley," stat
ed Mr. Dennis, "and your frnit is al
ways in demand. No other section
on the globe enjoys ns splendid a
reputation in England ns does Rogue
River. Your fruit arrives in Eng
land in the very best of condition and
its quality is unsurpassed.
"I am glnd to learn that the local
orehnrdists are considering the erec
tion of a . precooling station in the
valley. There is no reason why your
Hnrtlctt pears should not be shipped
to England, where tho demand for
them is large.
"This year Hood River, your only
competitor in Newtown apples, has a
light crop, and your fruit will bring
high returns. The Virginia Newtown
crop is heavy, but tho quality of the
fruit is not ns fine. There is no
doubt but what tfie Rogue River val
ley fruit leads the world."
Tho firm of which Mr. Dennis is
tho head, has the finest distributing
system in England. They own ware
houses in tho four large seaports-
London, Southampton, Liverpool and
Glasgow, as well as warehouses n:ui
offices at Lester, in tho heart of the
manufacturing district of England.
The system for distribution whioh
has been built up is elaborate and
they do much tho largest business of
any similar firm in England.

FIFTY WEALTHY APPLE TREES NET $550.
From 50 wealthy apple trees A. Conro Fiero, who recently
purchased the J. W. Meyers orchard tract near Central Point,
has realized a net profit of $550. This is among the records for
returns on summer apples. They were sold in Portland and sold
for a price which netted the owner nearly $2 a box.
Tho 50 trees cover less than a half acre of ground and
prove again that orchard land in the Rogue pays over $1000 an
acre annually.
It is records like this one which leads local land owners to
realize what a bonanza they have in their orchards, but ns yet do
not place anything like an actual valuation on their 'holdings.
What valuation can be put on an orchard which pans out from
$500 to $2250 per acre from a single crop of fruit? Figure it
out. Ten acres of the right varieties of- apple or pear trees in
this valley -will, when in full bearing, produce an average of
$3000 to $0000 net income per annum, und instances are actually
occurring every year where these figures are exceeded.
From the day that local horticulturists realized these facts
and the commercial world became aware of the possibilities of the
trade, progress has been sure and swift in raising apple-growing
from the plane of an experiment to the dignity of the leading
source of revenue, saving only mines, in the Roguo River valley.
Tho incentive of the extremely high prices realized for tho output,
which ' prices appreciate rapidly from yenr to year, in spite of
tho rapidly enlarging orchard area, has brought about the em
ployment of the most modern methods of handling orchards in
this valley, where tho gasoline spray engine was first used in the
history of horticulture in the world. The apple and pear orch
ards of tho Rogue River valley are toduy the best and cleanest on
earth, aud tho output is deserving of the high prices it is receiv
ing in all markets.
