trees bear. that the valley obtains
its splendid reputation as the home
of the peach. pear, apple, pomegran-
etc and nectarine, the smaller or
vine fruits growing with equal pro-
ductiveness and lusciousness.
without some sort of a record of
the first planting of fruit trees in
this valley, this history would be in
complete. 1t is primarily the great
industry of the valley ard no detail
which can make 1t of interest to
those who desire to know of the first
work looking toward making this a
great garden spot will be omitted.
1.-The first fruit trees brought to
this valley came here, not in the
splendidly equipped fruit tree cars.
now run on all roads. but by the
prairie schooner in slow and toll
some journeyings across the back
bone of the Continental Divide.
which at that time was a trip which
not a few hesitated to take. They
were grown in Fremont county and
brought to this country by Gideon
Frazier in May of the year 1882.
The daily sentinel., 1908-01-09

hard to estimate as much Of 1t went
out by express. The total freight
car loads sent out from the plat
forms of the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers association were 749, and
we have not been able to secure the
figures from other associations, but
from the best sources possible we
estimate that the whole number was
not far from 1000. The express
shipments probably Appropriated
500 more, making the total output
1900 car loads. This is short of tn e
year before but the high prices re-
ceived gave the growers more money
than in any year In the history OF the
valley. Placing the value of each
car at ar average of $3.50 will give
a grand total of cash or one and a
quarter million dollars, and we do
not believe we have overestimated
the returns.
Lands suitable for fruit growing
can be purchased for $50 to 5000
per acre without water. There are
cheaper lands but not in the choicest
localities. Lands set out to fruit
The daily sentinel., 1908-01-09
Grand Valley Fruit Industry

They consisted of apple, peach and
plum. There were many head shak-
ings and mutterings of words of un-
belief as to their growing when they
were unloaded in this adobe valley.
"Tnese trees were purchased and
planted by Elan Blaih, on his place
four miles east of the city. They
were watched with a great deal Of
interest and in two years time after
year of 1906, these same trees pro-
duced good crops, "a years after
being planted.
In April 1883 the writer planted
twenty apple trees one year old,
grown by Robert A Orr. In Oct
ober of the same year 227 fruit trees
consisting of apples, peaches. pears,
plums, apricots and ounce. OF these
trees 225 of the fall planting and all
of the spring planted trees grew and
are now alive and bear fruit. Two
of the Hale's Early peach trees pro-
duced fruit in 1884. This fruit was
thought at the time by those who ate
It to be the finest favored peaches
ever tasted. These latter trees were
shipped from Sarcoxie. Missouri.
"In 1888 the peripatetic tree pel-
dler made his appearance in the val
ley. He found fallow soil for his
work His tales were readily believed
and there were many victims to his

Story of Development

The very best advertisement of the
fact that this valley possesses to the
highest degree the characteristics de-
manded by the successful fruit grow
er is the fancy fruits We have been
shipping the past few years. The
expression, II want to live where
such fruit is grown is heard where
ever our people travel. We are be-
sieged by people who want to know
more about this country, and very
few there are who pay us a personal
visit but what are inclined to locate
with us.
The development of the fruit in
dustry of this valley, has been most
marked the past five years. There
are very few run down orchards.
No undesirable fruits are being set
out and most of the cheap summer
varieties are disappearing. There is
an air of thrift in all young orchards;
trees are set out for raising fruit
and not for fad or a pastime nor
with a hit or miss" effect.
We are studying the soils, the DIS
eases and the insect pests. We are
not raising everything that looks
like fruit, but we are demanding
those things which we know will
sell for the best money. The time
is coming when our fancy" grade
will be fancy in every respect and
we will raise little else. We will
thin heavily and in thinning will
pick off the poorest specimans.
We want men and women who
love the business and there are hap
py prosperous homes waiting here for
thousands of such people. In get
