THE FOREWORD. 



This booklet is issued primarily for the use of our 

 customers for the help and guidance of those who 

 plant or have planted 



ROEDIING'S TRUE TREES 



The matter contained herein is the result of over 

 thirty years' successful experience in California Horti- 

 culture, and it is hoped will be of considerable assist- 

 ance to those who are interested in securing the best 

 results from their planting. 



To build a house it is considered as a matter of 

 course that one must have a firm foundation; and this 

 also is necessary if you wish to have a profitable 

 orchard. The right trees must be planted to start with 

 and the matter contained' herein is therefore based 

 upon the supposition that you plant or have planted 

 the right stock. 



The expense of compiling and printing this booklet 

 has been so great as to prohibit indiscriminate dis- 

 tribution therefore the price of twenty-five cents. 

 We will be glad to send extra copies to any address at 

 the rate of three for fifty cents, postpaid. 



OTHER PUBLICATIONS 



In covering so wide a range of subjects as is con- 

 tained in this booklet, it has been necessary to make 

 the descriptions and directions as brief as possible 

 and we therefore call attention to our other publica- 

 tions. More complete information on special subjects 

 will be found in "Roeding'g Practical Horticulture," 

 which we publish from time to time as occasion de- 

 mands, in the shape of bulletins. These cover such 

 subjects as "The Olive", "The Fig", etc., and will be 

 mailed free to interested parties upon request. 



We also issue annually a complete 



ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE 



containing brief descriptions and prices of all stock 

 carried by us, including over 2,000 varieties of citrus 

 and deciduous fruit and ornamental trees, vines, plants 

 and roses. 



We grow practically everything that grows a,nd our 

 nurseries are located in the choicest spots of California, 

 under ideal soil and climatic conditions. During the 

 more than thirty years that we have been in business, 

 the name "Roeding" on nursery stock has come to be 

 synonymous with the "best." Our illustrated price 

 catalog will be mailed free to any address upon 

 request.
