Any substantial structure to endure 

 must have a solid foundation. This 

 same rule applies to the avocado 

 trees. All of my nursery trees are 

 raised from trees similar to the one 

 pictured here on this page. They 

 are all field-grown from seed to har- 

 vest and guaranteed, root and 

 branch. I select only the best buds 

 from the choicest performance trees. 



The Lyon is the coming tree for 

 warm lands. It grows upright and 

 bears all the way up. Can be 

 planted six feet from buildings, 

 fences or lines and is just the tree 

 for city lots or small acreage where 

 space is valuable and limited. Plant 

 eleven feet apart each way. I sold 

 last season, more Lyon trees than 

 all others, and am budding more 

 Lyon buds this season than all other 

 sorts combined. Come out and see 

 them bearing, even in the nursery 

 rows. Also, barren trees bearing. 

 Also see my novelty avocado 

 tree with eight difFerent kinds 

 of fruit upon it. Also see my 

 three-year-old Mulgoba Man- 

 gos fruiting and also a large 

 Chinese Litchi tree with fruit 

 upon it, too, the only one 

 which ever fruited in Cali- 

 fornia. I think that the 

 Mulgoba Mangos are also 

 the only ones which have, 

 as yet, fruited here. 



All welcome to visit my 

 orchard or nursery only on 

 week days. No business 

 whatsoever done on Sun- 

 days.

 instructive Catalog.
