duction of these exacting fruits, while
other hundreds of acres in lush vegetables
demonstrate the adaptability of the soil
to these crops. That we are abreast of the
times is reflected by the fact that we
recommend the planting of the new Red
Blush variety of grapefruit and early ma-
turing oranges, both of which are in good
demand at prices that return important
profits. Under experienced and efficient
management that is at your command
groves of these new fruits may be de-
veloped in Adams Gardens at surpris-
ingly low cost.
LIQUIDATING PRICES IN EFFECT
With all of the desirable features that
Adams Gardens has to offer, prices of
these rich, virgin lands are much below
their intrinsic worth. Under the liquidat-
ing schedule that now prevails and that
place the lands on a thoroughly deflated
basis, properties are available at figures
that cannot be matched where exist con-
ditions paralleling those that obtain
here, even if such may be found.

That is what is said of Adams Gardens
by everyone who visits this superb prop-
erty. Here Nature deposited a soil of in-
comparable fertility that responds with
lively virility to man’s efforts to draw
from its stored riches for his use and
benefit — a warm friendly soil perfectly
adapted to the fruits, flowers and other
vegetative life of the Valley. Supplemen-
tary moisture that is needed for lush
growth and peak production is supplied
through the facilities of the most modern
irrigation system that engineers have yet
devised, the water being distributed
through concrete conduits layed under-
ground. There are no open earthen can-
als to mar the symmetrical contours or
to cause seepage.

The natural beauty of Adams Gardens
has been augmented by pleasing and ap-
propriate landscaping. Palms that are
silhouetted against a blue sky lend a trop-
ical air; flowers of mvnad colors and de-
sign add beauty to the scene; lawns of
velvety carpet grass are refreshingly
green; while the attractive homes of those
who dwell here reflect dignity, stability
and comfort. To preserve the cultural at-
mosphere now in evidence sensible build-
ing restrictions are imposed.
