Pura company Of Las Vegas, at the
International Industrial Exposition at
Albuquerque, for the "best exhibit of
fruit from single orchard" was
awarded to Hon. L. Bradford Prince, of
the Sunshine Orchard in Rio Arriba
county. This was the only exhibit sent
from Rio Arriba or Taos counties, and
proved what the upper Rio Grande val
ley can do when much of the fruit is
destroyed by late frosts. The collection
contained forty-four varieties of apples
seventeen varieties Of pears, eleven
varieties of peaches, eight varieties oi
grapes and six miscellaneous varieties
Of fruits making total of ninety-three
varieties. The exhibit was a splendid
one and came in for great praise.
