A. Big Fruit Enterprise.

Mr.. W. f. Gormley of this city, who
recently purchased the old forty acre
farm known as the Uncle Billy Gardner
farm couple of miles northwest of
Leon has force of ten men at work put
ting out the largest orchard and fruit
farm in Decatur County, and expects to
engage in the raising of fruit on the
extensive scale. He is putting in
fifteen acres Of apples, 1000 trees of the
Ben Davis and Jonathan varieties, ten
acres of cherries, 1000 trees, planting
the Early Richmond and Montmorency
varieties, two and a half acres Of straw
berries, $500 plants two and half
acres of grapes, 1890 vines, and two
and one half acres of raspberries, $500
vines. He expects to be able in few
years to not only supply the local
demand for berries, grapes and apples,
but will be able to ship large quantities
to other markets. 1t is going to cost
him large sum of money before he can
hope to secure any returns, fruit
farm in this part of the state being
somewhat of an experiment, but we
trust that it will prove the success
which Mr.. Ghormley is anticipating.
The entire order for trees and vines
was purchased from j. S. Warner,
proprietor of the Leon Home Nursery,
and it is probably the largest single
order ever placed in southern Iowa.
All the stock furnished was of the very
best and Mr.. Ghormley was we'll pleased
with the manner in which this large
order was handled by Mr.. Warner.
