A Santa Fe Orchard.
Says the Las Vegas Free Press When
n Santa Fe few days ago George Cross,
he well known news editor of the New
MEXICAN, invited US out to see his orchard
md garden, and as We had often heard OF
lis sdccess in that line, we were only too
Had to Investigate. 1t is situated few
blocks south OF the capitol, contains two |
cres, under irrigation, and is filled with
.pple, pear, peach, cherry, apricot, prune -,
nd plum trees, all bearing, besides plenty
# small fruit, raspberries, blac kberries,
trawberries, gooseberries and currants,
nd fine lot of vegetables. In addition
o the above, Mr.. Cross raises enough ,
Italia on the place to feed horse and
ow the year round. He commenced his
work about five years ago and has certain
y been very successful. He has fruit
rees loaded down, some carrying more
han they could stand and that would
ave to be thinned out. Twelve trees
ull of fine cherries, getting ripe, were a .
retty sight, made more interesting by I
be fact that he receives Is cents per
'onnd for all he can produce. Last year
e sold SIS worth OF currants alone. Mr..
ross is an enthusiast on fruit culture in '
lew Mexico, and he certainly has right b
. be. If more people would follow out &
lis plan this would soon become a great r
ruit country. In this connection we
'ould say that We understand that Santa :
e sold between $4,000 and 100000
| fruit last year. How much did Las
'egas sell?
