and the value of the lands 10 considered
and the fact that tho purchase price may
easily be cleared from products raised al
payments fall duo. Another thing to be
considered is the fact OF the rapid i'm.
pavement OF property upon ell sides Of
the tract, whicn tends toward an imme
diate advance. Among the older innabi-
tsnts OF this region may be found many
OF the leading families of this portion Of
the state, who have accumulated fortunes
| upon this rich land.
Another section OF the ranch which
has bsen subdivided is al the southern
end, to which water for irrigation and for
domestic purposes has been piped. A
clear title Of one inch of water is kiven
with each purchase of ten acres In this
portion of the premises. This land has
already been planted to choice varieties
| OF deciduons fruit trees, such as peaches,
prunes, olives and apples. 1t is most at
| tractively located and affords as fine
sites for homes rs can be found in South
| ern California.
One of the chief advantages Of living
upon this ranch consists Of the ease With
which the centers OF population may be
reached. The transportation facilities ars
unexcelled. To live there IS like living
IN this suburbs of a city. The advantages
of city and country life are here com.
bined. No suburban section in the world
has better transportation facilities. The
Unconstitutional line of the Santa Fe
system runs along the north line OF the
property, with n station at Lamanda
Prak. The overlan track of the Southern
Pacific extsnds along the southern
boundary with station ut East San Ga
brel. There is also a short line of the
latter company which extends from Los
Angeles to Monrovia, a distance OF sixteen
mics through the center OF tho ranch,
the station ana size tracks beng at the
winery. This gives the great benefit OF

to the producer low charge, besides the
advantages OF frequent passenger trains.
In addi ton 60 these facilities there is
every likelihood that the electric road
no~ connecting Los Angeles with Pssa.
dena will be extended so as to traverse the
ranch. Another consideration is that OF
the educational facilitIes. These are ex-
cellent; the Lnmanda Park seminary and
the San Gabriel schools adion the prop
erty, while Pasadena and Los Angeles,
with their numerous collegiate institu-
tions, are only short distance away.
The products which ars and may be
raj ed upon this tract are among tue most
valuable grown IN the world. large
portion of the ranch is absolutely free
from frost, and the oranges and lemons
grown here havs never been injured by
it. Both oranges and lemons are OF SUI
perior flavor and appearance, and COM
mand the highest prices in the market.
The products of this ranch have been
awarded numerous prizes over all COM
petitors, among late competition being
that of the worlds exhibition at Chi
cago. ALI kinds OF small fruits anu boz
ries, as we'll as chickens and bees, are
raised at practically no cost and made to
yield handsome profits.
In this favored spot the happy resident
may, if he wish, have some fruit to con-
sumo or market every month in the
year. The following list of fruits may be

Meantime, from vegetables grown be- |
tween the orchard trees the settler can
make a good living. The export bust |

beans ami Chile peppers, IN winter from
This ranch to northern and eastern points
Is already vi large proporti ons. At
Christmas very high prices are realized in
carload lots sent to the far east upon fast 4
trains.
1t has been proved that an industrious
family may make good living from
ten acre lot and have good bank ac-
count besides. When it is considered chat
IN this section such life includes the
advantages OF perfect climate and beau
tisul scenery and in the society OF refined
and intelligent neig bors, together with
ed ucatiunal and religious privileges, 1t
should scarcely be necessary to say more

Su h an one cannot do better than settle
upon Sunny Slope ranch. Nature will do
the rest.
To those who do not care to pure
lauds and set out orchards and await
thsi. bearing. lands are offered which
have young orchards already started and
which will come into bearing within one.
two or three years. These can be obtain
ed upon reasonable terms and maturing
crops depended upon to aid in making
payments. These lands have naval, Med
iterranean sw.ets, st. Michael, pineapple
and other CHOICE varieties. In selecting
these lands. alfalfa raising should not be
lost sight of. 1t is perhaps even more
profitable than oranges. From six to
seven crops can be raised annually. worth
from IS to $6 per ton at tho very lowest
price and always in demand. This crop
is always spot cash and the market al
ways hungry. No delay need be
provided for in this industry as in fruits.
1t means an income from the start.
