peaks of the magnificent. Sierra Madre
! range. Old Badly, with his superb height
OF 5000 feet and hoa,y, snow crowned tops
and Cucamonga, with its grand height OF
5000 feet, together look down in majesty on
the lovely valley at their feet where, in
most charming contrast, may be seen, far as
the eye can roam, orchards of oranges,
| lemon, lime and i've and whey ards laden
with semi-tropical fruits, and fields clad
with verdure and laden with perfume.

assures freedom from fog.laden sea breezes,

deposits, OF extraordinary oepth is loose
and easily worked, and retains moisture for
great length OF time, requiring very little
irrigation. Those who are thoroughly com

! far superior to the famous Duarte and Riy-
erside orange belt for raising oranges, lem
ons etc., while 1t is entirely free from scale.
The company also offers land in 10, 20 and
4O-acre tracts, with water, adjoining the
town site of South Cucamonga.
