Description of Grovo Follows
The foildNviiiK bkolcli of Hesinnid
II. Parsons of Medford, proprietor of
tho Hillcvest orchards appears in
tlio ciitrenl issue of Hotter Fruits
"The president of the Northwestern
Fruit exehnngu of Portland, Or.,
Hogiiinlil Ilascull Parsons, was born
October a, 1873, in Fliihhiiij,'. N. V.
In 18S0 his family moved to Colorado
Spring, Col.
Mr, Parsons rceehed his education
in prlvnlo schools in the east and the
University of California.
While living in Colorado Springs
Air. Parsons became interested m
Kohl mininp in the Cripple Creek dist
inct, which afforded an opportunity
for a wide business experience. Sub
sequent to his residence in Colorado
Mr. Pardons engaged in the uuum
faclunnt: busiucss with Bemis Broth
ers Bap company at SU Iniis. From
St. 'Louip he went to Bafi Francisco
in tho interest of tho same company,
and in 1904 removed to Seattle to
establish n branch factory for the
company. Mr. Parsons continued in
the general management of the Se
attle branch for several years, but
the Inns of the land was always
strong in hi? veins, his ancestors for
several generations having been en
gaged directly and indirectly hi hor
ticulture, tl wrts natural, therefore.
thtn this life should appeal to him,
and he was particularly attracted to
the Rogue river valley, in southern
Oregon. He became principal owner
of one of the largest and finc-t or
ehnrds iu America the Hillcrest Or
chard company, at Medford, Or.
Iltllcrcit Orchard.
The Hillcrest orchard, valued at
between $400,000 and .foOO.OOO, Is
one of the most famous in nil tlu
world, nnd its brands are in eager
request in all of tho principal con
suming centers, being particularly
well known iu New York nnd Lon
don. The Hillcrest orchard brand ol
Cornice pears holds the world's rcc
ord in price for car lots. A car ol
this brand was told in London tw
years ago at an average of $10.0fc
per box. This season a car of tm
.nrne brand averaged $10 per bos
'flie IHHcrest orchard comprises 20o
acres, of which 192 acres ure in trees
and 158 acres in bearing. There art
105 acres of pears, including Bart
lettfe, d'Anjous, Howells, Boscs, Win
ter Nelis and Cornice, nnd the bal
ance 87 acres are in apples, the
principal variety being Yellow New
towns, and the bnlnnco Spitzenbergs
nnd other red varieties. There arc
about 11,000 trees in this wonderful
orchard, which is in tho highest state
of bcientifio cultivation. In Mr. Par
sons' o.l'fice nt Hillcrest are found
every modem feature of orchard and
accounting. There are maps of var
ious kinds, some showing land con
tour; water and nir drainage, etc..
and others showing the location and
variety of even' tree of the eleven
thousand. Mr. Partons is working
on n pathological record by which
he wiil'be able to trace the history
of every tree in the orchard and keep
a record of its bearing from year to
year. The Hillcrest orchard has
every modern mechanical appliance,
Pnckiug houses, fire system and
barns were built on the most modern
lines.
Mr. Parsons says modern orchard
ry is practically manufacturing, and
has busiucss is conducted according
ly. It is his ambition to have the
Hillcrest orchard pass, undivided, to
his children and his children's chil
dren, lie is not n land promoter or
real estute operator iu any sense
of tho -word, but a fruit grower first
and lust.
It hecamo apparent to him very
soon after becoming interested m
fruit growing that the wcukest side
of the industry from tho grower'
standpoint was tho assembling and
marketing of tho fruit. Realizing the
difficulties of the individual grower.
no matter how large a producer he
may bo, in meeting tho demands of
the inoreusing supply of deciduous
fruit produced in the nqithwest, In
became instrumental in the formn
tipu of tho Rogue River Fruit nnd
Produce Associutipn at Medford.

First ot all, the William Caxton

ous as president and other prom
inent and public spirited fruit gtow

change bus met with, phenomenal
Miec-s, having been carefully orga i
ized nnd conducted with the view
f efectine a wide distribution of tho
fmit, which would permit tho a void -nice
of the crowded oeiiters and
thereby enable better prices to be ob
tained. About seven hundred cars
were put at the dUposnl of the ex
change during its first season by
various fruit grower associations,
with results which have been univer
sally gratifying to the growers. Mr.
Parsons has cast his lot with the
fruit growers and producers of the
Northwest nnd is doing his best to
aid in solving the problems connect
ed with the industry, lie has given
n great deal of tune to the direction
of tho exchange and it success is
largely duo to his public spirited
work.

perience Mr. Parsons has shown his
wide public spirit. Ho is n member
of the Municipal League and Cham
ber of Commerce of Seattle and di
rector iu the Title Trust Compnny
of that city. . Before leaving Seattle
for Medford he was chairman of the
