to make IL SO attractive that every
purchaser will desire TO erect a

The plan of development and
sale Of these lands has grown out
Of the experience Of the officers CT
this company. Out Of the many
purchasers Of land in the Alamo
section a considerable number have
not wished to undertake the work
Of planting and caring for the
groves for the three-year period
necessary to bring the trees into
production. In the work Of plant
ing and caring for the groves CT
nonresident purchasers 1t Is learn

QUALITY TREES.

Valley nurseries will have avail
able for planting this season be-
tween 100000 and 1000. 900 citrus
fruit trees. is the estimate Of A. r.
Potts cf the Baker g. Potts nurser-
les, who asserts that practically
without exception the Valley nurs-
cries are producing the finest stock
to be secured in the United States
Paintings are expected to aver
age approximately the same as last
season when over a million trees
were planted. many orchardisf5

ton Of approximately 81 per cent
grapefruit and IS per cent or

ed to be maintained j n the 1e29-30

Each year has been marked BY
Improvement Of the stock put ous
by the nurserymen Of the Valley,
and I doubt if it would be possible
to find in either California o.
Florida young trees which will
compare with those in the Valley
nurseries," Mr.. Potts stated. "Nur-
serymen know their business de-
pends upon development Of the in
dust-y along profitable lines. and are
dong everything possible to provide
trees Of the highest quality. a de-
c.ded contrast TO the trees planted
during the pioneer stages Of the ir-

Valley citrus fruit nurseries are
the cleanest in the world. Follow
ing the embargo placed upon
Florida and California trees by the

taken steps TO make thorough

Practically the entire acreage Sc

distinctive innovations in cOnnec-
ton with this work.
No section CT the Valley offers
greater opportunities for beautifica-
ton. and 1t is the intention Of the
company to take advantage Of this
condition. The resacas and lakes
will afford water backgrounds for
many of the homesites, and i'm

tages Is alrc-dy underway. Santa

located. covers approximately 100
acres. The lake will be leveed to in

attractive spots in the Valley.
Officers Of the company are G.

Plan Distinctive Development
THE plan of the Southland De-
velopment company is to make this
a distinctive development" G. II.
Swallow said. Thorough tests have
been made Of the land and We con-
slider it some Of the best in the
Valley. and especially adapted TO
the growing Of citrus fruit. We arc
securing selected trees, budded from
proved producers, and 7 am conf
dent that the rich soil and selected
trees will form a combination that
will result in orchards that will be
far above the average in production
and quality.
mo part OF the Valley offers
greater opportunities for beautifice-
ton, and we propose TO take full adj
vantage Of this fact. Beautifica-
ton Of the entire acreage will be
carefully planned by experts. and
every palm. tree and shrub will re
planted with a view to enhancing
the natural beauties. The site for
our clubhouse i one Of the natur-
al beauty spots Of the Valley.
