Apricot-Peach Graft Draws North Yakima Interest
A. M. Cale of Fruitvale Washington successfully grafted apricot and peach to create a luscious new fruit that has attracted attention from Northwest growers. The experiment began three years ago and yielded a bountiful crop this year after a cautious start. Cale has refused a $3,000 offer for the technique. Elderberries thrive on Pennsylvania railroad land valued at $90,000, with a long depot approach area once smoky now productive. elder cuttings prosper along Liberty Avenue amid high land values highlighted by a recent sale nearby at $9,000 per acre.
