The Capay Valley Land Company is offering the
most erte Lands IN this beautiful valley upon terms which
enable the purchaser pay for the land out of its own
product VIZ: Interest only for five years at per cent
lhe only condition imposed is that reasonable pro
portion OF the land purchased shall be planted to fruit
trees or vines. Land may be bought without this
CONDITION on payment of 20 per cent. cash and re-
naming so per cent at the end of five years. with in
terest annually IN advance, at per cent The various
tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have
been subdivded into and 2o-acre lots which are for
sale at prices varying from $50 $50 per acre SINH
lar unmproved land in Vaca Valley has recently been
sold at $500 and $500 per acre
these Capay Valley lands are under the most favor
aOle climatic conditions or the prosecution of profitable
fruit growing, and the locality has proved itself to be
one OF the earliest IN the State The grape crop of 1860
from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked
dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before
the Fresno County grapes were ripe.
The railroad passes through all Of the tracts owned bv
the Capay Valley Land Company, thus insurng excel
lent shipping facilities and land may now be purchased
IN the immediate proximity OF either of the following
stations Capay, Cadenasso Surrey, Guinda Sauterne
Cashmere or Rumsey.
At many Of these places fine orchards of the choicest
and earliest varieties Of peaches and aprcots may already
be seen, and during the coming season considerable adj
dtona acreage will be planted out One of the recent
sales made by the company was that Of the Tancred
Tract containing 600 acres to a colony association.
This tract has been subdivded into forty holdings all
which will be planted to fruit trees this season.
The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract where 400
acres have been Sold especially worthy OF mention
and is significant fact that several of the blocks are
owned by successful Vaca Valley ruitgrowers who ex-
Pect to make their earliest shipments from here
The record-union., 1891-09-09

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad,
vantage to the trlitgrower of being in early locality.
In most it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley
may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
acres OF this rich land, when the trees are in bearing
will yield handsome and assured income
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re.
siding in the valley whose duty to show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four townsites have been laid out in different points
in the valley, viz Esparto, Cadenasso, Gunda and
Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason
able prices and on easy terms
The enterprising and flourishing of Esparto is
situated at the lower end of the valley and SI25ooo
worth Of substantial buildings have already been erected
blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets,
besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences
The town has postolCe, school-house and a weekly
paper and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express offices.
Postofces have ase been established at GuinCa and
Rumsey This latter place, situated the head of the
valley, is the present terminus of the railroad. The
comfortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for
hunters as we'll as and-seekers.
The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val
ley may be thus concsely summed up
soil of great fertility, yielding bountuly of every
crop.
A soil and climate which will rpen all kinds of fruit
and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State
climate perfectly adapted to the curing of rasns and
drying of fruit without the aid of artificial eVaporators
Aocaton that central and close to markets. Railroad
communication which enables shipments to be made
quickly and cheaply. Lands which are sold cheaper
and on better terms than anywhere else in the State
