MADEN'S SPITZENBERGS
ARE BEST IN VALLEY
The committee selected by the
Medford Commercial club to select a
car of prize winning apples .to be
sent to the National Apple show
were unanimous in saying thnt the
Spitzenberg apples grown on the or
chard of Mr. Madden surpass an
thing else to be found in the valley
this year.
Indeed, it is very doubtful, as one
of them said, if there ever were ap
ples their equal grown anywhere in
the world.
This coming from one of the best
judges of fruit to be found in the
vnllev, is a very great compliment
and especially as this is Mr. Mad
den's first experience in the orchard
industry.
