CALIFORNIA NURSERY CO., INC^ OLDEST AND LARGEST 
Eureka (New). The Eureka, on account of the 
similarity of the kernel in shape and flavor to 
the famous Jordan, commands the very highest 
price, and confectioners pay a premium to se- 
cure it. It differs in two essentials from the 
Jordan, being somewhat smaller in size and is 
paper-shell. The tree is an exceptionally strong 
grower and heavy cropper. Originated on the 
farm of A. M. Newland, Colusa, Cal. His 
orchard is over twenty years old and a failure 
of crop has never been known. The commercial 
value of this nut has been established by years 
of trial. Full bloom March 9th. 
L X. L. Tree a sturdy, rather upright grower; 
nuts large; hulls easily; shells soft, but perfect. 
Full bloom March 5th. 
Jordan. Until recently the total supply of these 
nuts was imported from Spain. The late John 
Rock told the writer that he tried for fifteen 
years to buy the trees in Europe before he suc- 
ceeded. He said they would take his money 
and send trees, but never the Jordan until 
finally about 1895 he got 250 trees and out of 
the lot three Jordan. His comment was, "Yes 
by , they made a mistake." He meant that 
unintentionally they had let three Jordan trees 
be shipped through error. From these trees 
our stock has all been propagated. With us 
there has never been a crop failure although 
the Jordan blooms earliest of all. As nearly 
everyone knows, it is the largest, sweetest and 
finest flavored of all and unsurpassed for the 
use of confectioners. Full bloom February 
25th. 
Ne Plus Ultra. A sturdy and rather upright 
grower; extremely prolific, producing its nuts 
in bunches all over the twigs; nuts large and 
long; almost invariably of one kernel; of fine 
flavor; hulls readily. Full bloom March 5th, 
Nonpareil. Of a weeping style of growth, but 
still forms a beautiful tree; an extraordinarily 
heavy and regular bearer, with very thin shell. 
Full bloom March 9th. 
Peerless. Preferred by some to I. X. L., which it 
resembles, but the nut is larger. Shell me- 
dium soft, white. Kernel short, few doubles. 
Grown quite largely in Sacramento Valley 
where it is considered a very profitable nut. 
Full bloom March 5th. 
Texas Prolific. Nut medium size; shells perfect 
and well filled. As the name indicates, this is 
a very heavy and regular bearer. It is of the 
greatest value for planting with other sorts 
to increase their yield by aiding in pollina- 
tion. Tree is a fine, strong grower. Full bloom 
March 22nd.
