We give below the date of fuJl bloom at Niles for the year of 1918. 
Drake's Seedling — Of tbe Lansuedoe class; very prolific and a 
reRVilar, abundant bearer. Full bloom March 1st. 
Eureka (New)— The Eureka, on account of the similarity of the 
kernel in shape and flavor to the famous Jordan, conimands the 
very highest price, and eonfeetiont is [.ay a premium to secure it. 
It differs in two essentials from the Jordan, bting somewhat smalk r 
in size and is a paper-shell. The tree is an exceptionally strong 
grower and heavy cropper. Orifciuated on the farm of A. M- 
Newland, Colusa, Cal. His orchard is over twenty years old 
and a failure of crop h&s never been known. The commercial value 
of this nut has been tstabliahed by years of trial. Full bloom 
March mh. 
I. X. L.— Tree a sturdy, rather upright grower; nuts large; hulls 
easily; shells soft, but perfect. Full bloom March Gth. 
Jordan — Until recently the total supply of these nuts was im- 
ported 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. Hi? comment was, "Yes by . 
they made a mishtakc." lie 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.

said to bear deliciously sweet, trize "Jordan" almonds in abim- 
dance. Full bloom March 2nd. 
Peerless - Preferred by some to I. X. L., which it resembles, but 
the nut is larger. Shell medium soft, white. Kernel short, few 
doubles. Grown quite largely in Sacramento Valley where it is 
considered a very profitable nut. Full bloom March 5th. 
Paper Shell — ^Modium !*ize; shell very tender, easily broken with 
the fingers; kernel large, white and sweet. Full bloom March 5th,
