PRODUCING
APPLE
ORCHARD
Can you think of any place in the Rogue River Val
ley whereyou can buy a 20-year-old bear
ing orchard other than the
Snowy Butte Tracts
There are ten of these tracts in this orchard: every
one of them has a sufficient number of 20-year-pld
Newtown. Pippin and Spitzenburg apple trees to
V
guarantee a net profit for the coming season of
from $3000 to $6000 to each tract.
In three years time any one of these tracts will
pay for itself
The entire orchard is now heavily set with fruit
spurs and there is every promise that the crop of
1910 will be a ' 'bumper." The estimated net pro
fit, however is based on the annual yield.
Many people do.not want to wait for an orchard to
grow To fill this demand was why the tract was
subdivided.
For those who would rather pay less money and
wait a couple of years for profits we have a dozen
or fifteen tracts of 4-year-old apple and pear trees.
These cannot be expected to do much until they are'
six years old. As a matter of fact Rogue River
valley orchardists will not permit their trees to pro
duce until they are six years old, and some prefer
for the good of the trees and to insure steady bear
ing thereafter, that trees be not permitted to bear
until after they are seven years old.
Any one or more of these tracts may be secured by
a payment in cash of one fourth the purchase price;
the remainder to be paid in three annual and equal
payments.
Let ius show you these tracts Only three miles
from Medford and a quarter of a mile from ship
ping point.
