COLORADO soaTDcvITvaG
The annual convention Of The
State HORTICULTURAL society now in
session directs renewed attentioe
70 horticulture as . Colorado in
dustry. The success achieved in
the past is assurance Of profit in
the future. and, the large demand
for fruit will lead to the planting
OF more orchards az 3
Fifteen. years ago horticulture
barely had place among the in
dustries Of this state, and few
persons appreciated Colorado's
advantages in soil and climate for
slccessfulfruit growing. A stimulus
was given to it shortly after the
old Ute reservation lands were
opened on the western slope. and
the success gained there set men
to thinking more seriously about
the industry in other localities.
To-day no one doubts that good
fruit can be grown. and the orchard
ara has become large. Il is
recognized, however, that the pos
sibilities of the future exceed the
achievements of the past and year
by year new orchards will be
planted and thus an increased pop
ulation will be given means Of sup
port.
The valleys Of the Uncompahgre.
Gunnison and Grand rivers on the
western slope have been exploited
and no doubt exists concerning
their fitness for fruit culture.
People who have eaten peaches,
apples and pears grown in those
valleys need nothing more to con-
vince them that horticulture will
be a conspicuous industry in the
future OF that part OF the state.
On the eastern slope, the Arkansas
valley is rapidly coming into
prominence. Great success has
been achieved there, and no doubt
a large part of the valley will in
time be planted in apple. pear and
peach trees
In Northern Colorado apples
will occupy the foremost place.
The climate will not admit Of sue
cessful peach culture. but apples
aud probably pears will do we'll.
There is hardly any part Of the
country lying between the Platte
on the east, the mountains on the
west and the Wyoming boundary
on the north in which apples
would not thrive.
There will be no lack Of . mar
ket for a Colorado fruit, more es-
pecially apples. Mexico. Texas
and other parts Of the South will
demand large supplies Of good APP
pies, and Colorado horticulturists
will be able to dispose OF their
surplus product to-. advantage in
those regions. The Southern mar
ket should be worked up with a
view to supplying it with Colorado
apples, fruit of that species grown
in the South not being so good as
that produced in this latitude. The
profits OF the industry have been
illustrated by the experience OF the
many intelligent fruit growers. In
whatever aspect horticulture may
be viewed, the conclusion remains
that it is an industry to which the
people of this state should give
close attention.
