witli I'liiil spurs and llic foliage is 

 aljiinclant and thrifty. 'I'lu' harvest sea- 

 son is early. It is one of the most pre- 

 eoeioiis varieties we liave, coming into 

 healing wlien very young. It is suljject 

 to hhght tlie same as the other soft- 

 sliell seedlings, and very prone to per- 

 forations. This nut is worthy of con- 

 sideration, on account of its heavy and 

 eai'ly bearing, as a tree for interplant- 

 ing for a few years. 



(^hase. — Tliis originated in a tree 

 near Wiiittier and lias been widely 

 propagated by Mr. Hideout of Whittier, 

 r.alifornia. This original Chase nut is 

 medium to large size on young trees, 

 but small on older trees. In form it is 

 broadly oval or rounded; apex and base 

 of equal breadth, apex terminating in a 

 short and pronounced point. Surface is 

 quite smooth, nut not so very uniform. 

 They are badly sealed, the meat is 

 plump and well filled, averaging nearly 

 .^0 per cent of total weight. Flavor is 

 mild. This tree conies out earlier than 

 the average Santa Barbara seedling. 

 The growth is very vigorous and 

 thrifty and the foliage abundant. The 

 nuts are harvested early and is a very 

 heavy bearer, but is somewhat subject 

 to blight. It is a good t> pe of the Santa 

 Barbara soft shells except that the nuts 

 are small. 



Kl Monte. — A Santa Barbara soft- 

 shell seedling which originated near 

 El Monte, (California. It is a somewhat 

 irregular shaped nut with ijronounced 

 ridges. The nuts are well sealed ami 

 tilled with light-colored meat. Comes 

 into bearing early and bears (piite 

 heavily. The tree is a thrifty grower, 

 conies out early in the spring, about 

 the same time as the other Santa Bar- 

 bara seedlings, and harvests early. Its 

 blight resistance is about the same as 

 the other Santa Barbara seedlings. It 

 is desirable on account of bearing 

 early and heavily, but the nut is (piite 

 homely. 



Neff's Prolific. — The original tree is 

 a Santa Barbara soft-shell seedling in 

 Mr. .1. B. Nell's orchard at Anaheim, 

 California. Mr. Xeff selected this tree 

 on account of its heavy bearing and 

 not being so subject to blight and iier- 

 foration as the ordinary seedlings. The 

 nut is of good size, well sealed, excep- 

 tionally heavy and well filled with 

 light-colored meat of good llavor. This 

 variet\' has not been propagated veiy 

 extensively and is a good variety on 

 account of its heavy bearing, although 

 the nuts are lather rough and irregu- 

 larly shaped. 



I'raniiuefte. — The French variety has 

 several types. The one most commonlv 

 known as the Vrooman, from the Vroo- 

 man grove at Santa Bosa, was first 

 propagated by .lohn Bock at Niles. The 

 Leibs of San Jose are also large grow- 

 ers of the Franquette. The Oregon 

 Nursery Company controlled the scions 

 and nuts from the Vrooman grove for 

 a number of years. This variety, being 

 well advertised and highly lecom- 

 niended, has been extensively i)lanled 

 on the Pacific Coast in recent years, 

 not only as grafted trees but as seed- 

 lings. Not hcing enough gi'afted trees

The Wastefulness of "Price" Buying 



To sav3 monty in purchasing: is a duty everyone owes to his business. "Price" 

 buying, however, does not always mean economy. 



A few dollars "saved" in buying^ a typewriter may turn out to be many dollars 

 wasted and make an expense of what should have been an investment. 



The higher price paid for the 



L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter 



is paid for the gi eater amount of superior work it will turn out and its greater 

 durability. 



You will be .surprised to learn what a great diff'rcnce there is in typewriters. 

 The cheapest is usually the most expensive.
