iUzen roots. and ss the freight rates

California We believe that the Colorado
Celery would demand price equal to an
average for the season of 25 cents per
dozen roots: and that there would be
no question of your ability to contract
ahead for the entire crop up to FIVE car

II is my impression from all / hsye

When | was At La 1unts l WAS spr-
prised to see some very large Spanish
onions which looked exactly like the
genuine Denia onion from Spain, which
always command good price in this
market, a. well as in the western mar
kets, and it struck me that If the gen
uine seea could be procured from Spain
that after being acclimated to the soil
that you could produce even better
quality OF onions than they do, Under
our lead and advice We believe We could
induce the growers to use the Spanish
crate, and that they would be able TO
market all such onions to a very profit
able result to the growers. and if the
growers should all plant an acre or two
of onions at the different shipping
points whereby they could load carload
lots. there is no reason why that indus

MELONS.
In reference to melons you know nv
opinion that the Nutmeg melons should
be grown in small lots by the different
growers, that is each grower should pu,
out from two to FIVE acres apiece, or
enongh that he could carefully cultivate
and keep free from weeds, 30 as TO pro.
duce the finest result; that all the
growers should be orgsnized and that
the whole valley should be allotted suf-
Scient acreage to raise just enough mel
ons to cover the demands of all the
markets. and by such a system of
thorough cultivation in small lots BY
the different growers the profitable sue
cess is assured. The great danger Of
melons lies in the fact that some grow
ers plant from 80. 10 to so acres which is
oevond their power to pr' perly cultivate
which is planted nearby suca crops ss
and pumpkins which injure
and spoil the favor of melons. and
through such careless and large planting
the danger Of disastrous results lies
but in the small acreage planted by
each grower the success of the melon
industry is assured.
Now the above are the five PRINCIPAL
shings that came under my observation
and made me believe that the Arkansas
valley, Colorado, had the most com
piete and positive privileges to offer
small settlers who wish to cultivate land |
under the above rule of planting var
Gus crops which altogether would bring
in very handsome result ! should be |
very glad if nj snv time Won wish TO

investigating toward making a settle
ment with you. believe that l could
assure them of the positive results to be
obtained under your irrigated system, #,
l should be glad to hear from YOU At
any time. and assure YOU of nv deep
interest in the success Of your great val
lev. Yours truly, The LYox Bios. Co.
