“The royal tree hath left us royal fruit.”
Citrus and Tropical Fruits
The high perfection of the orange and lemon industry stands forth as a symbol of Cali-
fornia Horticultural achievement.
In attaining this position, growers of experience have
ever been alive to the necessity of planting first class nursery stock—trees that are well grown, true to name, and budded from stock of tested and proven quality.
With our trees, you get these qualities which are the result of long experience. The original price is so small an item compared to the results obtained. that it is ad-
visable to plant only trees of known merit.

3-year olive in orchard
Olives
The Olive, owing to its great vitality, will
live and thrive with less care than other trees, but to secure the greatest bearing qual- ities, it is necessary to study the soil and loca- tion and devote to it the cultivation peculiar to its environment.
The person planting today will take advan- tage of exceptional opportunity, because of the active, energetic publicity and marketing campaigns that are being put forth by the largest growing and marketing organiza- tions. Just as sure as the past campaigns have brought results for the Orange, Lemon, Walnut, Raisin and Prune, just so sure will the present campaign bring the same results for the California ripe Olive; and with these facts standing out pre-eminently, we feel positive that the success of the planters of olive groves is assured.
Just consider the reason: The olive will thrive in a wider variety of climatic and soil conditions than any other sub-tropical fruit tree, and results from late experiments have proven that it responds more quickly than other trees when given the proper care and cultivation. Particularly is this true in the rich interior valleys of California and Ari- zona, which are ideal for its culture.
Our Olive nurseries, the largest in the State, are ideally located for the growing of the best trees, and our varieties comprise all the leading commercial sorts. Our soil con- ditions are most favorable for a healthy de- velopment of vigorous, fibrous roots, and our long experience has taught us the essen- tial requirements in growing, pruning, dig- ging, packing, and delivering to our custom- ers a first class tree in every respect.
For information on properly planting and caring for the Olive, write us and we will send you by return mail, our free booklet, ““The Culture of the Olive.”’
Pruning Olive trees in nursery rows
Mission Olives (reduced)
The cut below is an example of pruning an olive nursery tree before digging.
For best results, the trees are pruned in advance of digging time, thus allowing the buds to swell and be in proper condition for transplanting.

Mission. The well known standard variety in-
troduced by the Spanish Padres. Large trees of this variety are still growing at some of the old Missions in California. It has been extensively cultivated and is popular with growers and consum- ers alike. The tree is a handsome, upright grower, and a prolific bearer; fruit medium to large; makes a richly flavored, well colored pickle and a good quality of oil. November.
Manzanillo. This fine olive is known as one of the leading commercial varieties. The tree is a free grower, having the tendency of throwing out many branchlets from the main branches. It is the most prolific bearer of the large sized olives. The fruit is large, purplish black, with light col- ored specks; ripens fully two weeks before the Mission, an important factor in districts subject to early frosts. The ripe olives when cured are unexcelled in flavor and quality. October.

3-year Avocado tree
Avocados
Avocado culture in California is now cre- ating intense interest among planters. Real- izing the possibilities in this line, after con- siderable experimenting, growers are enter- ing the field with a confidence not hitherto displayed.
The tree is long-lived and develops into a large, spreading specimen of noble appear- ance and great bearing capacity. Aside from being a tree of unusual economic value, it is ornamental, ranking with such trees as the Magnolia and Camphor.
As regards climate, experiences of the past few years have proven that the hardier trees will endure without serious injury 10 to 14 degrees of frost.
There are two distinct types: The hardier trees bearing medium sized thin skinned fruits of fine flavor and quality, such as the Northrup, Harman, Ganter, and Chappelow, and preferred, in the order named, for home consumption and local markets. The other class of more tender varieties, producing larger, thick-skinned fruit, are recommended as the best for shipping to distant markets.
While the Avoeado will thrive in a variety of soils, it must have good drainage. In the orchard the trees should be planted not less than thirty feet apart, to allow for full devel- opment. Budded trees should begin to bear profitably the fourth or fifth year.
While each year witnesses the heralding of new varieties, we have tried to exercise discretion in propagating only those varie- ties that have demonstrated their worth. We have selected the following from among many fruiting trees in California as the best of both thin and thick skinned types, in re- gard to vigor, productiveness, quality of fruit, ete.
Instructions for planting and eare will ac- company every shipment of Avocado trees, together with a yucca protector for covering each tree.

Northrup. Form pear shape, of medium size, weighing 8 to 10 ounces; of fine texture; excellent quality and flavor; skin thin and of purplish color. Seed cavity tight; ripens evenly; keeps well. A distinguishing feature of this variety is that it bears two crops a year, the main crop from October to December, and a lighter crop from April to June, thus covering a long ripening period. It is a vigorous grower with a large, spreading top. Owing to its extreme hardiness, excellent flavor and bearing qualities, we recommend the Northrup above all others as the Avocado for the family orchard.
Taft. A handsome, thick skinned variety; bears large, pear-shaped fruits, weighing about one pound; flesh of extra good quality; a summer fruit, ripening in June, July and August; one of the hardiest of its type. The parent tree on the grounds of Mr. C. P. Taft, near Orange, California; bears regularly and is becoming more prolific each season We consider this Avocado one of the best of its type, destined to become a leading commer- cial variety. Balled or Boxed, 3 to 4 feet, branched, $2.75 each; $25.00 per 10. 2 to 3 feet, $2.25 each; $20.00 per 10.

introduced in California, with the single exception of the Avocado, has met with such a popular re- ception as the Feijoa (Fay-zho-a). The delicious flavor of the pulp is rivaled by its strong and agreeable aroma, both taste and color reminding one of the pineapple and banana combined. So lasting is this pleasing fragrance that receptacles having once held the ripened fruit will often re- tain a slight odor for weeks, reminding one of the oft-quoted couplet:
“You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the breath of the roses will linger there still.”
It grows to a height of about 8 feet. If pruned, it forms an attractive, compact shrub; having glossy green leaves, the under surface thickly cov- ered with a whitish velvety growth. The flowers are large and showy, silvery white in color with crimson stamens and golden yellow anthers. It is hardy and of easy culture in both Coast and interior valley localities; a native of Uruguay. Fruit ripens November to January.

Strawberry Guava. (Psidium Cattleianum.) aA fine glossy-leaved shrub or small tree, which pro- duces in abundance a luscious fruit about the size of a large strawberry; round and deep reddish- brown color. The fruit is highly prized for table use when fresh, and for jams and jellies has few equals. Aside from its economic value, the shrub is sufficiently ornamental to merit a place in any garden. Balled, 50c; potted, 25c.
Yellow Strawberry Guava. (Psidium Lucidum.) Similar to the common variety in habit of growth and shape of fruit. The fruit is yellow, somewhat larger, and of finer flavor. Balled, 75c; potted, 50c.

Winter Dormant Fruit Trees
The term ‘*‘ Winter dormant fruit trees”’ is applied to all fruit trees that shed their foliage during the winter months, and remain devoid of leaves until the advent of another spring; such are known as deciduous fruit bearing trees. Our selection of deciduous fruit trees is extensive and varied, embracing all the standard varieties. Exercising every care in the nursery rows, we have been successful in growing robust, healthy, and vigorous trees, true to name and free from insect pests and disease, all from selected buds taken from pedi- greed and regularly bearing specimens. Our prices are reasonable, superior quality of stock considered.
Peaches
The peach, always regarded as one of the daintiest of fruits, claims a greater portion of California’s soil than many of the decid. uous sorts. Its rapid growth, early produc- tiveness and profitable yield have brought it unfailing popularity. In its demands of soil and climatic conditions, it is not partic- ular, doing well in any situation that will grow ordinary farm crops. It prefers, how- ever, a well drained sandy loam, appreciat- ing thorough cultivation and intelligent pruning. In California and the Pacifie States generally, 1t 1s a prime favorite as a com- mercial crop, for nowhere in the world may larger or more luscious peaches be grown than in the foothill sections and valleys of this state.
The varieties described below include the MILLERS LATE best varieties for the home garden as well Our best late freestone peach as commercial sorts for canning and drying; ripening in the order named.

Its earliness ripening as it does before the peach or plum, has the advantage of the early fresh fruit market, and creates a growing demand for both the canned and dried product.

Prunes
By the term Prune is generally understood a Plum which dries successfully without the removal of the pit and produces the dried Prune of commerce. On the Coast as far north as Washington, Prune culture has as- sumed commercial importance, but in Cali- fornia it has found its greatest perfection. The following varieties are choice selections known to meet the requirements of planters for either drying or preserving, or marketing direct from the tree.

Apples
In many of the mountain valleys, and along the Coast regions of this State, the apple finds congenial conditions, and when properly cultivated, invariably gives good returns. Long experience has convinced us that the red varieties do best in the higher altitudes, while the green and yellow sorts thrive better in valley situations. We offer a variety of sorts which have proven adapt- able to conditions in the Southwest. If de- sired, we will select such varieties as are suitable to your location.

Pear trees in nursery rows in the growing season
Pears
Broadly speaking, the pear will do well over a wide area; however, it prefers a heavy loam verging into adobe. It is a favorite fruit for planting in our heavy soils, where it attains its greatest perfection. It will withstand a larger percentage of alkali in the soil than any other of our commercial fruits.
For the home garden there is no fruit more desirable, and for commercial planting the possibilities are unlimited. There is an ever increasing market, which will consume the fresh fruit as well as the canned and evap- orated product. The varieties enumerated here cover the entire season.
If dsired, we will gladly advise with you as to the best varieties for your particular location and requirements.

Dwart Pears
The dwarf pear is the ordinary pear grown on quince root. On this root the tree is decidedly dwarfed and bears earlier (often the second year) and in some varieties better fruit than does the standard tree. Dwarf pears are desirable and es- pecially adapted for small gardens or city yards where space economy is an item. They also serve as a valuable filler for commercial planting in large orchards. Trees should be planted about 8 to 12 feet apart.

The growing of nuts of the recognized commercial varieties has become a great in- dustry in California and is a feature in nearly all sections of this State, and in a lesser degree also in Arizona and other portions of the Southwest. Nut trees are indeed desir- able both commercially and for family supplies and for shade and avenue planting.

WALNUT TREES IN NURSERY ROWS
Trees grafted on Juglans Californica roots
Walnuts
Among nuts grown commercially in Cali- fornia, none has attained larger proportions nor more universal importance than the Wal- nut.
The product being practically imperishable and the demand greatly in excess of the sup- ply. insures a market at good prices.
The inexpensiveness and ease of cultivation and harvesting, combined with the perma- nence of the orchard, all tend to render Wal- nut growing both safe and profitable.
Seedling trees are uncertain both in bearing quality and uniformity of nuts; they are also shorter lived than grafted trees. For these reasons it is advisable to plant trees grafted on Native Black roots.

HINTS FOR PLANTING AND CULTURE
Preparation of Soil. The ground should be put in a good state of tilth by deep plowing, har- rowing and leveling before the ground is laid out for planting. Where there is hardpan, this should be broken up by blasting the holes.
Treatment When Received. When shipment of trees is received at destination, they should be unpacked at once. Deciduous trees should not have the roots exposed; if not planted at once, the roots may be placed in a trench, covered with soil, and well watered. If through delay in transit, the trees should have a withered appearance, cover up roots, tops and all in moist soil for a few days before planting. It is well to remove broken roots and prune the lacerated ends with a sharp knife.
How to Plant. After laying out the ground and digging the holes, the roots of the trees should be immersed in water and placed in the hole dripving wet; this causes the soil to adhere to the roots. The best surface soil is then placed carefully around the roots and when the hole is three- fourths full of earth, settle thoroughly with water to exclude air. Afterward fill to the level of the ground.
Citrus trees, Loquats and field-grown Evergreen Ornamentals are usually dug with a solid ball of earth and wrapped with burlap to prevent the ball from breaking. Do not remove the burlap when planting, otherwise the ball of earth may wu.ieak and cause the loss of the tree.
Pruning. Apple, Pear, Peach, Apricot and kinired sorts should be well pruned back before or after planting, to 18 to 30 inches, according to th2 size of the tree; otherwise too much top re- mains for the roots to support. Walnut trees are usually headed back to within four feet from the ground. Vine and bush fruits should be pruned back to within two or three buds from the main trunk.

The Rose Garden
The Rose is the most universally beloved of flowers and for all time has been the prin- cipal floral adornment in the gardens of both castle and cottage, shedding its delightful fra- erance impartially over prince and pauper, and commanding the admiration of every one. They are found in a wild state in nearly every part of the globe and cultivated sorts find an equally wide dissemination. In no country do roses reach a higher degree of perfection than in the Golden State, where the peerless climate induces perfect blooms throughout the season and a robust growth each year, which equals all other lands may produce in two or three.
Under such ideal conditions are our roses grown, warranting us in assuring our cus- tomers that for constitutional vigor, root development, rapidity of growth and production of a prolific crop of perfect flowers, our roses have no superiors and few equals. All our roses are grown 1n our own nursery from the best s‘ock obtainable and we therefore feel that we can guarantee perfect satisfaction to every purchaser. While our stock is of the best, our prices are as low as any for plants of the sane high grade. Except where otherwise speci- fied, all our roses are grown upon their own roots.

Autumn Foliage-Shedding Trees
In the arid regions where sunshine is a consideration during the winter months, trees shedding their foliage in the fall of the year really possess a double value, viz., they provide a comforting shade and a beauty to the landscape during the warm summer, while in winter, which in California is ofetn termed the rainy season, they allow sunshine to minister to our physical comfort, and to warm and revivify the soil. Hence, when used with judgment in the planting of home grounds, parks, and boulevards in conjunction with the evergreens, their autumnal colored foliage, coupled with their dormant appearance in the cool winter period, they not only serve the ends of utility, but also of ornamentation. In addition, many of them possess flowers of rare beauty and pronounced individual characteristics. No public or private plantings are quite complete without an intelligent selection
of a few trees and shrubs that are free from foliage during the winter, when sunshine adds to the glory of the season.

Broad-Leaved Evergreen Trees
In this section we are particularly fortunate in the wide variety of broad-leaved evergreen trees. In the common use of such varieties as Acacias, Camphors, Eucalyptus, Live Oaks and others in the group, we have a wealth of evergreens which adapt themselves readily to our semi-arid conditions, and afford an added charm to the landscape. Most of these plants are grown in pots and are easily transplanted with little danger of loss from removal. Ask for special prices on large plantings.
ACACIAS. Acacia saligna. Of extremely rapid growth under ordinary conditions, attaining a height of ten feet in Acacia Baileyana. One of the most strikingly beau- a single season; leaves long, lance-shape, forming a
tiful of the Acacias. The fern-like foliage is of a dense crown. 4 to 6 feet, 50c. bluish green cast. It blooms profusely in the spring,
the long sprays of lemon-yellow flowers completely en-
veloping the tree. It is quite hardy and is easily grown . where proper care is given for the first year or two. ase The green leaved variety, which we name the ‘‘Green Baileyana,’’ is also a magnificent tree and if anything more floriferous than the well known Baileyana. Both are splendid specimens of avenue trees. 4 to 6 feet, 60c; 3 to 4 feet, 40c. Write for quantity prices.
Acacia cyclops. A rather thick growing shrub which thrives particularly well near the coast. Owing to its rich yellow flowers and bright green foliage it is extremely ornamental, especially for group planting. 2 to 3 feet, 35c.
Acacia dealbata. ‘‘Silver Wattle.’? A royal tree. Large and spreading, with finely cut fern-like leaves of bluish-green. In late winter is covered with a wealth of golden-yellow flowers. One of the very best for either street or park planting. 4 to 6 feet, 60c; 3 to 4 feet, 40c.
Acacia decurrens. ‘“‘Green Wattle.’’ Grows rapidly into a large, erect tree. Similar to Dealbata in appear- ance. Well suited for parks and avenues, where it is widely planted. 4 to 6 feet, 60c; 3 to 4 feet, 40c.
Acacia floribunda. An upright grower, with long, narrow leaves; small, yellow flowers; blooms all sum- mer; a fine variety. 4 to 6 feet, 50e.
Acacia latifolia. Tree of a spreading, somewhat drooping habit. The flowers are yellow; leaves lance- shaped. One of the best Acacias for park and grounds, but not suitable for avenue planting. 4 to 6 feet, 50c.
Acacia melanoxylon. ‘“‘Blackwood Acacia.” Exten- sively planted for street decoration in California. Its naturally pyramidal growth may be changed to a round-topped tree by cutting out the main terminal growth when about 12 feet high. Though thriving best in deep, moist soils, the Blackwood has proven won- derfully adapted to all conditions found in this state. 5 to 6 feet, 50c; 4 to 5 feet, 35c; 3 to 4 feet, 25c.
