Description

Citing testimonials, a longer growing season, closeness to refrigerated train cars of the Santa Fe, and higher returns from agricultural lands than in the North, this promotional pamphlet highlights Highland Farms, located halfway between Houston and Galveston, as a higher income choice for truck farmers, especially emphasizing the raising of Satsuma oranges and Magnolia figs.
