But If other pcoplo get tho sanio kind of fruit ns I did they will not buy twlco, for n nickel's worth of unrlpo poaches spoiled my tasto for a whole soason and I will nover buy any more. The same thing happened to me with plums. I am repelled If I seo thorn, although I llko fruit and usually spond a few dollars a week. Besides I want to plant twenty acres In fruit trees In tho Grand Valley of Colorado. It Is more to tho Interest of fruit growing that I am writing. Why do thoy not exclude such unripe taBtclcss fruit from tho market? It simply injures their trudo. Wo nro able to get even peaches In less than twenty-four hours from any part of Colorado to tho Denver market, picked pick-ed ripe from tho trees. It would pay tho horticultural interests if they would have a working agreemont to supply dally, nonrly rlpo fruits to the market" Rnnch nnd Rango. Stato .Tounnal. I |
