Idaho Daily Statesman June 24, 1896
New Plymouth, June 20-(Correspondence). Just a year ago today, New Plymouth 
was launched upon the sea of uncertainty.  Today its first anniversary finds 
it riding the waves of progress and enterprise on to its goal of prosperity. 
No more a weary waste of sage brush and rabbit haunts, it is fast becoming 
an Eden in the desert and will soon be the "Flower basket of Idaho."
The colonist realize that a paradise can be made of this place in a few 
years, and, not waiting until their orchards are bearing before beautifying 
their home surroundings, have begun at once to adorn their home acres with 
trees, shrubs, roses and lawns. 
Almost one thousand acres have been cleared and put under cultivation during 
the past year, and many "home acres" boast of lawns, grape arbors, flower 
gardens and everything that goes to beautify a home lot.
All the colonists, realizing the needs of the home, have planted all that 
the heart could wish for in the line of vegetables. So far the weather has 
been in favor of the colonists and everything in the gardens and orchards is 
doing very well.
