YAKIMA FRUIT
Delicious Apples Will Be Sent to
England for George v By
Robert Stanton.
BRITISH AGENT HERE
AND IS WELL PLEASED
Says If Price Is Right He Will Re-
main In This Valley and Do
Business for the Next Few
Weeks.

Six boxes of Yakima apples for the
king of England are to be sent to
London by Robert Stanton OF North
Yakima. This will be at the request
of friends of Mr.. Stanton in England.
With them will go much larger ship
ment for the British market. "All
the Yakima apples" says Mr.. Stanton
"are fit for king but in this case I
think I will let him have delicious.
1 think they will make the best i'm
preston and I know of some Of that
kind which certainly ought to ad-
vertise the Yakima valley"
British Agent is Here.
Mr.. Stanton has as his guest here
at this time J. Nichols of J. Nichols
& Son, fruit agents of Bedford Cham
ibefs, Covent Garden, London. He Is
here because of representations made
to him in London by personal friends
who are also friends of Mr.. Stanton.
Now that he has seen something of
the orchards of this section of Wash
ington he is glad that he made the
trip. He is delighted and proposes
to remain here some time.
1.-THE quantity of apples that you
produce here is no consideration with
me- said Mr.. Nichols. eff the price
is right we will do business" and the
balance of his conversation left it to
be inferred that he was prepared II
trade is entered into, to take an I'M
limited quantity.
Likes Yakima Fruit.
81 have never seen anything like
you have here said Mr.. Nichols.
1.-The climate, the soil and the water,
together with the men to make use
of them in apple production, have
been given to you people here and I
certainly have enjoyed my trips
throughout your orchard section. East
of Spokane I was disappointed with
the country. Near Spokane I saw
one little tract of irrigated land but
after we got west of that city we
encountered that awful waste with
which you all are familiar. When,
however. l entered this valley was
once delighted with the change and
since, as I have seen more I must
confess that you are away beyond
anything I had anticipated or had
ever encountered in fruit way and
1 have been great many years in
the business. I think 1t must be
the best in the world.
Box Pack Satisfactory.
Hitherto we have done business
with Canada and the eastern United
States but we have a market which
can handle your goods. 1 am in
clined to think that our people will
take kindly to and patronize literally
your box pack. 1t is heater, handler
and more satisfactory than the old
barrel pack with which we have been
familiar. The Newton pippin has been
favorite fruit with us but when you
get away from it, among the yellow
fruit, then any good colored apple
can take the market Ontario, Nova
Scotia. New Brunswick, Virginia, New
York grow nice apples but none such
as yours in such profusion to the in
dividual trees.
Il have attempted to make con-
nec1on with Australian friends to
do some business with them in your
fruit. Perhaps that won't eventuate
this year but if prices are satisfactory
I will remain here for few weeks
to deal with you people and we can
follow on with the Australian trade
