OUR CELERY SUPERIOR
TO MICHIGAN PRODUCT

Colorado grown celery rs command
ing better price in the St Louis and
Kalamazoo article. due to its larger
size and superior quality. Gardeners
assert that there are certain lands in
this state that are especially adapted
Colorado product is unexcelled in any
part of the country, either in appear
ance or flavor.
Celery is grown to a considerable
extent in the vicinity of Canon City
and large quantities of it are shipped
from here to Pueblo, Colorado Springs
and Denver, where its fine quality is
recognized by consumers
]. T. Calvert of Brewster avenue,
South Canon is one of the most ex-
tensive producers of celery in this
country and his experience in its cul-
tivation has been eminently satisfac-
tory. in fact, he says there is no other
crop that will yield the gardener so
large a revenue
This year Mr.. Calvert rented his cell
cry land. agreeing to take all of the
celery raised on the property and pay
the grower 40 per cent of the market
price after deducting the rental Of the
land He sells most of his celery in
Colorado Springs and gets the top
price, the average thus far this sea-
SOC being 33 cents dozen.
Celery grows much more thickly on
the ground here than in most other
places, producing something like 10000
plants to the acre.
Other extensive cultivators of celery
are VIM. Kenly and A. p Nelson and
Brothers.
Although it is a rather and difficult
and expensive crop to grow it will
yield an income. under favorable con-
ditions. OF from eight hundred to a
thousand dollars an acre.

WILL SHIP LIMESTONE TO
SUGAR BEET FACTORIES

The Canon City, Florence & Royal
Gorge Interurban Electric Railway
company will on Friday or Saturday
from its newly opened quarrfes and
loading it on Santa Fe cars in accord
ance with the terms of the contract
recently entered into with the beet
sugar factories at Rocky Ford, Holly,
Swink, and other places further east
The limestone will be taken to the
points indicated where it will be util-
ized in the sugar making process.
The Interurban Electric company
has a contract with the sugar people
for several thousand toms of lime
stone, and are holding it as an asset
for the bondholders and as an induce
ment for capitalists to subscribe for
the completion of the Royal Gorge
division of the road. At the termina-
ton of the present contract there is
no doubt a new one can be secured and
a permanent income to the railway
company assured.

from the main highway into the hills
for distance of perhaps three quar-
ters of a mile to where the quarries
are located at an expense Of something
like two hundred dollars for the pur-
pose of making the limestone lodges
accessible.
The sugar people convert the stone
into lime by the usual burning process,
using the product for mixing with the
beet juices. The necessity for burning
the lime at the sugar factories arises
from the fact that the smoke is essen
tial in the precipitation of the lime
after its mixture with the syrup from
which the sugar is extracted.
