The delightfully fragrant Kumquat TEAGUE QUALITY CITRUS TREES THE ONES TO PLANT FOR HIGH-GRADE FRUIT VIGOROUS GROWTH ORNAMENTAL VALUE 1915 THE SAN DIMAS CITRUS NURSERIES SAN DIMAS, CALIFORNIA [Los Angeles County] FOUNDED 1890 by R. M, TEAGUE INCORPORATED 1913 The aromatic Dancy Tangerine “By their fruits ye shall know them ” Teague Quality Citrus Trees are in a class by themselves, and must not be considered in competition with those selling at a lower figure. Why? Because quality and cheapness are not synonymous, hence do not travel well together. Teague trees are, however, an eco- nomic buy at higher prices, because they grow right, yield bountiful crops of good fruit, and so give profitable results. Hence they are always a good investment. It costs as much to bring a poor tree into bearing as a good one, while the results are negative with the former and positive with the latter. Behind every Teague quality tree there is over twenty- five years of experience in growing only citrus trees; there is behind every Teague quality tree the finest equipment in the way of modern methods and appliances known to the citrus nursery business ; there is behind every Teague quality tree the best soil and climatic conditions known in California for producing orange and lemon trees that "make good.” Many of the most profit- able citrus groves in California are the result of Teague quality trees . Then why plant any others ? On the opposite page are given particulars as to varieties carried in stock ; also prices at retail. On larger quanti- ties we solicit correspondence from intending planters. In the meantime we ask a careful reading of our book "Principles and Practices of Citrus Culture,” the receipt of which please acknowledge on the enclosed postal card.

Terms — State specifically the size and variety of trees you want, and give a few general hints as to your soil and climatic conditions. From unknown parties we demand a remittance or deposit of 50% of order or good references. Send money by bank draft, postoffice or express order, or registered letter. Location — The land upon which our nurseries are situated is con- ceded to be the best for growing citrus nursery stock, producing a fine grade of tree with a vigorous root system making transplanting safe. Quality of Stock — All of our trees are grown to stakes, and are straight and thrifty, and well rooted. He who plants an orange or lemon grove, plants for generations; hence, in choosing stock be careful to get only the best obtainable. Packing — We pack all trees in the best possible manner, in bales and boxes, according to the size of order and distance of shipment. Trees can be sent with safety to any part of the United States or foreign countries. Guaranteeing Trees — We guarantee all trees shipped from our nur- series to be as represented. We personally attend to the budding of all our trees, and use the utmost care to insure them true to name. Transportation Facilities — Our transportation facilities are excellent, being midway between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railways, hence we ship via either road, also Pacific Electric. Shipping Instructions — Please furnish explicit directions for shipping and by what route. In the absence of any instructions we ship accord- ing to our best judgment, but in no case do we assume any responsi- bility for condition or safe delivery of trees after same have been properly packed and delivered to transportation companies. Claims — Legitimate claims for errors and mishaps will be promptly recognized if made within ten days of the receipt of the goods, other- wise we will entertain no claims of this nature.
