Back to the soil. Mans original purpose

stituted man loves It and longs for it,

Mother Earth he reaps more than he sows.

health and self-respect and Independence.

ION the far side of the Denver city park
and out Colfax way, out Broadway and
University place way lies tract of land
at the door of Denver an agricultural gar
den and horticultural park, in which utility
and profit will combine with pleasure and
beauty In the form of homes and villas sur
rounded by cultivation and fruitful groves.
Traversed by drives connected with Den
ver's park and boulevard system, this posi-
BILE Eden will give the city a beauty of
environs unequalled.
Many Acres Plated.
The Denver Suburban Homes and water
company has plated several hundred acres
OF this land into five, and ten-acre tracts
and offers them to intending purchasers at
an extremely low price and on very easy
terms, balance payable in monthly, quar-
terly and semi-annual installments at the
rate of per cent per annum.
Imagine yourself the owner of one of
these ten acres, From your front door you
can see hundred mountains Within
range of your eye, in your front yard, as
1t we're, lie the scenic marvels of the North
American continent-Pike's Peak, Long s
Peak, DEVILS Head, GraSs Peak and Il
score of sights you have read about and
often longed TO see, Over to the north
west, a few miles lies Denver, the "Queen
City of the West" All about you floods
the glorious year-long. constant, golden
sunshine of Colorado, and beneath your
feet spreads the richest soil in the world.
Lay out ten acres in cherries, plums or
apples, or especially grapes, and the thing
is done. In five years your orchard will
be paying you an income equal to that OF
$4,000 worth Of bonds, and meanwhile you
can plant cabbage, berries, potatoes, ETC..
between the trees, live we'll and perhaps
secure sufficient money from the first
years crop alone to pay every penny on
the land.
It has been done. One years crop OF
melons, onions, asparagus or berries has
already and will today produce enough
revenue to cover the entire cost of the
land
But that is not all. This land IN not
farm land, surrounded by deserts 1t is
suburban property with future. Denver
is growing that way. 1t cannot grow in
any other way, for elsewhere the river
and the railroads shut It in. Every year
the city will creep nearer and nearer to
your ten-acre orchard until finally II will
come clamoring at your front door hungry
for land-your land-on which to build
homes. Then you will sell one lot for more
than your ten acres cost you. Already not
few such neighbors have moved over
toward and on this land. The country
club and the golf links draw hundreds OF
the city's best and richest out that way
every day. and the home OF the governor
Of Colorado and the buildings of the Dem
yer university are already in plain view on
its outskirts.
This land is the best land Colorado af-
lords. In the tract there are 1870 acres
owned by the company All of these lands
are supplied by water from the Castlewood
reservoir This is a reck-hound mountain
lake forty miles south of Denver. 1t COW
ers an area of 200 acres and has a capacity
of 2.2S6, 10000 gallons of water This water
is supplied to the people who settle on
these lands free of charge. Although fiji
teen inches Of rain falls there annually il
is not enough TO insure good crops, for this
reason the company installed the large res
ervoir and the irrigation system at an ex-
pense of $4,000.
