Can apples be grown successfully in
Salt River valley. has often been the
question asked by locaters. BY a great
many residents it has been said that
none but apples of poor quality could
be grown, but by perseverance with
care it has now been demonstrated be-
yond a doubt that if the right quality
be chosen apples of a size and excel
lence that cannot be beaten west Of
the Rockies can be grown in this val
ley. The white Winter Pearman" Va
riety is the successful apple, the value
of it's culture and profit cannot he
overestimated. This fact has been
proven by George Schornick who lives
ON the mesa and who has one of thu
prettiest apple orchards that can be
found anywhere. 1t consists of five
acres of four-year-old trees, very large
and thrifty, so uniform in growth and
form that one tree can hardly be told
from another. This is the first year
they have borne and for the age OF the
trees they bore well. but no apples ever
shipped into this valley can compare
with the ones produced from these trees
for size and quality. Their flavor and
excellent qualities would rival east
ern apples. They are firm and make
good shippers, though it will be years
before the home market can be sup
piled with this fine apple. The trees
stand the heat well. the fruit not
ripening before the last OF November.
The future of the White Winter Pear
man to be the successful apple and
one of the principal products of Salt
River valley cannot be questioned. Mr..
Schornick would not trade his five
acre apple orchard for his siX-acre
orange orchard, though his crop of
oranges will amount to over one and
one-half car loads of fine, large fruit
this season.
