A RICH CoMPLIMENT.-Th JOUR.
NAL editor is just In receipt of box of
peaches from the Peachblow Paradise
orchard Of Max Pracht, the peach king
of southern Oregon. They are Of The
early Crawford variety, ripe, rich and
juicy, average ten inches In circumfer-
ence and have the high flavor peculiar
to that locality. Mr.. Pracht is the first
grower In the state TO adopt the low
pruning system, which secures the
highest state of perfection, and permits
the fruit TO be picked while standing
on the ground. Damon Bros, at the
Blue Front grocery have the exclusive
sale of these peaches, and must find
them very acceptable to their trade.
Thanks, Mr.. Pracht.
