444 CALIFORNIA FRUITS: HOW TO GROW THEM 



Bulletin 231 says, "The Eureka comes very close to satisfying the 

 requirements of an ideal walnut for California. It is a fine large nut 

 of strikingly handsome appearance, extra full meat and weight, per- 

 fectly sealed, light colored meat, fine flavor, marked immunity to dis- 

 ease, a strong, vigorous grower and ultimately a heavy producer." 



Of varieties named above as most popular the order of excellence, 

 without regard to bearing habit of the tree, is as follows: 1. Eureka. 

 2. Franquette. 3. El Monte. 4. Disher's Prolific. 5. San Jose. 6. 

 Chase. 7. Concord. The first three were about on a par and well ahead 

 of the others. Placentia Perfection is an elegant nut, but is very subject 

 to blight, though still in high favor with some planters.
