“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.

Oranges

Washington Navel. The Washington Navel
easily heads the list of California Oranges, and
by reason of its superiority, is largely responsible
for California’s world wide citrus fame. The tree
is a thrifty grower, making a well rounded, uni-
form top; a prolific bearer and a rapid grower. The
fruit is large and seedless; flesh meaty, tender,
sweet, and highly flavored; peel smooth and tough,
rendering it ideal for shipping. Season from De-
cember to May.

Valencia. The standard late orange, in popular
favor, being on a parallel with the Washington
Navel. As the Navel season closes the Valencia
season begins and lasts through the summer and
fall months. Tree a strong, vigorous, upright
grower: very prolific; fruit medium size, oblong,
firm and heavy; few seeds; having no competitor
when reaching the market it usually commands
good prices. May to October.

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.

FOR SPECIAL QUOTATIONS, write us,

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.

put up in bottles to meet the requirements of
the high class trade. Fruit ripens early Novem-
ber.

Sevillano. The largest of all, known as the
“Queen Olive,’ under which brand it is imported
from Spain. The variety most used for green
pickles.

FOR BORDER PLANTING

Chemlaly. This variety is a remarkably strong,
upright grower, suitable for border planting;
yields heavy crops of small sized fruits suitable
only for oil. 3-year trees, 50c each, $40.00 per 100.

With every order of Olive trees, amounting to $10.00 or over, we will send free, a can of choice
ripe pickled Manzanillo Olives, showing the high quality of fruit from the ARMSTRONG strain of this

variety.

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.

Feijoa Sellowiana. “Pineapple Guava.” No fruit

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.

specimen plant, in groups, and as a hedge or
large border.

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

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

Apricots

Of late years Apricot culture is command-
ing increased attention in sheltered regions
of Arizona and Southwestern Texas, and also
in some of the Southern States; but nowhere
does it attain the importance and perfection
that it does in California. Its earliness
ripening as it does before the peach or plum,
has the advantage of the early fresh fruit

The Nectarine is a most delicious fruit, re-

which it differs by having a smooth skin like
the Plum. The mellowness of the pulp com-
bined with its rich, sweet, aromatic flavor
renders it especially desirable as a dessert
fruit, or for canning and preserving.

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.

Figs

Among California fruits the fig occupies a
foremost position and is one of the most
delicious fruits we possess. Its culture dates
back to the early Mission Fathers.

The many ways in which the fruit may be
used, and covering as it does a long ripening
season, creates a universal demand for it in
the home garden wherever it may be grown.

Nut-Bearing Fruit Trees

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.

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.

Pecans

The deep, rich, moist lowlands of the val-
leys of California are particularly adapted
to rapid growth, early fruiting, and general
thrift of this member of the hickory family.
The pecan does not thrive in light, shallow
soils. There seems to be no reason why this
nut should not become of commercial im-
portance on the Coast.

Frotscher. A large, oblong nut; shell thin,
easily cracked; kernel large, plump and full; of

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.

Cherokee Pink. Rosa Leavigata, var. Anemone.
While it is some years since this variety was intro-
duced, its popularity has not waned. The flowers are

a lovely salmon rose color with a circle of golden sta-
mens. When in bloom during the spring and fall it
presents a display unapproachable for delightful fresh-
ness and rosy fragrance. It may be used effectively
by planting alternately with the well known White
Cherokee and the new Red Cherokee, ‘‘Ramona.’’

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.

Palms and Bamboos

Palms are the sentinels of plant life in the arid regions of the Southwest; no plants lend such
a sense of majesty and dignity to the landscape, when once the larger varieties attain mature age.
And again, no group is capable of producing so strong a suggestion of tropic vegetation. The hardier
sorts find congenial conditions in California and portions of Arizona in which to grow and luxuriate
with reasonable care. Our selection embraces all the hardier sorts, adapted alike for conservatory,
park, and garden and for street and avenue purposes. The Bamboos are certainly growing in popu-
larity, and where dense foliage effects either in masses or single clumps are desirable, they can be
recommended, provided always that climatic conditions are right.

valuable. Boxed or balled, 3 to 4 feet, $3.00 to $5.00;

leaves. A universal favorite in California gardens.
35¢e to 50c.

Romneya Coulteri. ‘‘Matilija Poppy.’ The hand-
somest of our native flowering plants. It forms a
shrub or large bush of silvery hue. The flowers are
of immense size with poppy-like petals of pure white
and a center of rich yellow stamens. The individual
flowers are lasting and the plants bloom all summer.
Potted, 75c.

Santolina. ‘“‘The Coral Plant.’’ A dwarf, bushy
plant, with silvery coral-shaped foliage. Effective as
a border plant or low hedge along walks and flower
beds. Occasional pruning will cause it to grow com-
pact. Thrives in the interior, enduring heat, cold and
drouth; not particular as to soil. 50¢ per 10; $2.00 per
100.

WHEN AND HOW TO PLANT

Early planting is advisable in California. More especially is this the case
with deciduous trees, in order that the roots may be handled while dormant
and become well settled in the ground with the winter rains.

The months in which trees may best be planted are given as a general rule:
