PEARS.

for this valley, ranking second TO dp-
pies, and are of superior quality, both
as to flavor and size Pears grown
here without any attention, have taken
first prizes wherever exhibited, and ex-
perts pronounce them the equal of any
grown in the United States. They yield
prolifically and at an early age The
fruit grower who will devote his at
tention to pear growing in this valley
will reap a rich reward. n. Mex, alone,
annually imports carloads OF pears
from California and other noted states,
and we say, with all due respect TO
these states, that, while their fruit is
delicious, it cannot begin to compare,
with that grown in this valley, either
in size or flavor. The home market
will consume a large amount of the
fruit grown, and the markets of n. Mex.
cities cannot be supplied. owing to the
enormous demand. The freight rates
to n. Mex. points are practically moth
ing compared with those paid by Cali
fornia fruit growers. All varieties
of pears grow well, especially Keiffers
and Bartletts-
PEACHES.
Peaches grown in this valley this
year were sold by local merchants in
competition with the best grown in
other parts of the Union, and simply
drove the peaches grown il other To-
calities off the market Had a suffi-
cheney been raised to meet the IDEAL
demand. there would not nave been a
single box imported When discrimi-
mating buyers choose a fruit grown in
a certain locality, it is an index Of
its quality. For flavor, size and ap-
pearance, peaches grown In this valley
easily outrank any that are grown IN
other parts of the United States. FL
Paso annually imports hundreds OF
crates of the choicest fruit az Cali
fornia, demanding the very besr, and
it is said without hesitation that this
valleys peaches are far superior. Only
locality at present. but with the large
number[of young orchards thrifty and
promising. which will come into bear
ing within a year or so, this valley
will become known as the home of the
finest peaches in the Union Peaches
come into bearing here in three years
and bear immense crops each year
thereafter. No diseases of any kind
have so far appeared, and none are ex-
pected. The alberta is the chief va
riety grown in this valley. but other
varieties do well and produce abund-
antly.
This valley offers one great advan-
tage to the apple-grower-that of
placing the finest varieties of apples
grown on the market during the
months Of June. July and August. The
altitude and location of this valley
permit of the successful growing of the
best early varieties of apples, as well
as the leading varieties of later ma
turity. The advantages of growing
early fruit are twofold-no competition
and striking the market at time when
everyone is hungry for good choice
apples The grower who can market
perfect choice fruit at this time of
the year June. July and August) can
get his own price, winter apples having
been off of the market for several
months. Only a few localities in the
United States can produce early apples

supply the demand and never will on

The demand for choice apples is grow
ing by leaps and bounds Apples are
