Dr. George T. Poiecll, president of the Agricultural Experts' Associa
tion, made the following special report upon the possibilities of apple cul
ture in Northeast Georgia, based upon examinations of lands in Habersham
County:
“Much has been written about the ‘big red apples’ of the irrigated
section of the northwest, and millions of dollars are being invested in
orchard development there; but the longer these western apples are
used by eastern consumers the less in favor do they grow. A more dis
criminating taste is now’ demanding apples that are of a high quality
rather than attractiveness as their main feature.
“With an average annual rainfall of sixty inches in the mountainous
regions referred to in this report (North Georgia), irrigation need not
be considered. With tillage and cover crops the soil w’ill continue to
improve for a century to come. It Is a soil which will produce not only
most beautiful apples in appearance, but of the highest quality in flavor.”
You are secured by a profit-participating mortgage (6 per
cent guaranteed until the bearing period) on valuable Apple
Lands worth NOW several times the amount invested, and
increasing in value every time the sun sets. We have our
own personal fortunes invested in tbis enterprise and your
interests and ours are mutual. We can’t protect ourselves
without protecting YOU, the holder of the mortgage.
$2 Back ol Every $1 Invesfed

Day that the people of Atlanta have indicated their intention
to put their money into Georgia apple lands. The success of
1liis proposition is-absolutely assured, and it is lifted up and
pushed forward by the small investments of your friends and
neighbors. We want you also—tvon’t you come in to-day?

MORE ABOUT THE™ FAMOUS “HILLS rOF HABERSHAM
The “HILLS of HABERSHAM,” FAMOUS in SONG and STORY, Are FAST BECOMING THE “APPLE GARDEN SPOT” ol ihe WORLD
In many places mammoth apple trees, two feet
in diameter grow wild in the woods, the result per
chance of stray apple seeds dropped by the lone trav
eler three-quarters of a century ago. NOWHERE
ELSE IN CHRISTENDOM would they have lived
and flourished; yet here they stand in the mountain
fastnesses, living monuments to hidden treasures that
await only the skillful hand of Modern Horticulture to
be converted into wealth.
Habersham County is 80 miles north of Atlanta.
It is the center of one of the richest Apple sections on
the globe, besides being magnificent in scenery, in
health-giving ozone and pure cold water. Beautiful
I allulah Falls, “Georgia’s Playground,’’ fast becom
ing one of the most famous mountain summer resorts
in the United States, is on the line between Haber
sham and Rabun Counties.
THE HABERSHAM ORCHARD AND IM
PROVEMENT COMPANY owns seventeen hun
dred and fourteen acres of choice land in the very
heart of this great Apple region. 1 he property is sev
en miles from Ciarkesville, eleven miles from Tallu
lah Palls and five miles from the far-famed Nacoochee
Valley.
We are developing here a mammoth Apple Or
chard of 600 acres. If you have faith in Georgia’s
resources, if you want to help keep at home a portion
of the vast sums we contribute annually to the en
richment of the Apple growers of the Northwest, and,
above all, if you want to invest your earnings,
LARGE OR SMALL, where they are SURE TO
MULTIPLY and yield you a handsome yearly in
come, we offer you a part, a partnership in the devel
opment of this GREAT COMMERCIAL OR
CHARD. Unless God forgets the “Hills of Haber
sham,” and the sun ceases to shine on them and the
rain to fall, your investment in this enterprise will
grow beyond the dreams of avarice.
1 he Apple Industry in Georgia is sure to be
come second only to Cotton, and that in an incredibly
short time. It will bring millions of wealth into the
State and do much to win for Georgia and the “New
South’’ that commercial prestige to which they are
entitled. It is certainly an unbusinesslike and thrift
less policy for the South to continue to enrich other
sections and pay freight for 2,000 miles on enormous
quantities of apples, WHEN NATURE HAS EN
DOWED US WITH EVERY ADVANTAGE OVER
THEM IN SOIL, CLIMATE AND NATURAL CON
DITIONS.
