Matsura , Frank , 1873-1913 .
Description
The orchard owned by Ambrose R . Murray of Malott won high praise throughout Okanogan County as one of the best developed and kept orchards around . The rows were perfectly lined up symmetrical and the trees were uniform in height . While most orchardists banked on losing an annual one to five percent of their crop of trees per year , all but four of Murray's trees (planted the previous spring) survived . Murray planted Winesap , Jonathan , Winter Banana and Delicious varieties of apples . In between the rows he planted Elberta peach trees , which would bear fruit in two or three years and provide a crop while the apple trees matured .
