CGIdaOePs Apple Belt.
Mr.. Dorman's magnificent apples
were grown in Caldwell's apple belt
adjoining Caldwell on the south and
west. These apples were picked with
great care and packed by an expert
packer, knowing they were to be ex-
hibited at the national apple shows
tbs year. Each and every apple in the
box, both at the top and bottom and
center are absolutely perfect. Every
apple in the box is the same size.
This orchard has the honor of being
the prize winning orchard of the Unit
ed States, having won seven out of
eight individual prizes at THE Nation
al Horticultural congress in December
1908, at Council Bluffs. Those who
saw this exhibit last year believe If
possible that this years exhibit ex-
excels last years.
Largest JonGthGn's EVer GroaVn.
W. A. Hall is the manager of the
Polo orchard owned by George Muir
ray, of Polo, ILL.,, who has an exhibit
of apples at the Canyon County fair
that contains the largest Jonathans
and Grimes Golden that has ever been
shown in the county. The JCnathans
pack 81 to the box and are as highly
colored and as beautifully marked as
any Jonathans ever grown on tree.
The Grimes Golden are equally per-
feet and pack 90 to the box. When
one realizes that Grimes Golden usu-
ally packs 1913 and less, and Jona-
than usually packing 112, one can APP
preciate the elegant apples in this dis
play.
These apples were grown in Cald-
wells apple belt within a mile of thte
Dorman orchard,
