Others in the same vicinity also are growing fruit. The John Emery farm east of town, and the Joe Emery farm west of town, the C. H. Simmons orchard in the east part of the city, are close in nice orchard places.

Farther out are some of the most noted places in the county: the orchards of Ed. Scrivens and Howard Raymond northwest and those of Otto Jurgens and Teodore Carlson between here and Minatare.

In the north part of town are the places of A. V. (Buck) Taylor, which is largely strawberries. The Roach place, now owned by Mr. Colin, and south thereof the newer fruit orchard recently purchased by Mr. Cath, are a bower of shade and fruit. On Broadway between Twentieth and Twenty-first street, A. E. Scott has a fine orchard formerly owned by Geo. B. Luft. Across the street, is the editor's orchard in which we have a few hardy varieties of fruit. George H. Roach also planted the orchard that is now owned by D. W. Hill on Avenue A and Twenty-first street. J. R. Kelley also has a fine young orchard at the intersection of the same streets. The remnant of L. L. Raymond's former orchard is in T. C. Halley's beautiful lawn. Scattered about the city and county are younger orchards that will be a pride to the owners in the near future. The McHenry cherry orchard of Gering is another well known place.

That this community has an excellert climate for fruit has been demonstrated, and for the benefit of the people who are interested, we are giving the investigation of Jules Ami Sandoz of Sheridan county. He has been there for nearly forty years, and has developed a fruit orchard as fine as you will find in Colorado or Idaho. He cultivates and cares for his fruit for profit, and is thirty-five miles from the railroad station.
