FRUIT TREE 
California fruit growers now know that improved conditions in the industry 
are not temporary. The tuture outlook shows genuine evidence of betterment. 
As might be expected, orders for fruit trees, both for replacements and for new 
plantings are greatly on the increase. 
Wo submit as typical of California Nursery 
Company methods some facts relating to our 
fruit trees. Starting with the seed, it has 
long been our invariable custom to make 
quality the first consideration. In the selec¬ 
tion of budwood . . . the most important 
single operation . . . buds are taken only 
from orchards of known production. Grow¬ 
ers have long known that fruit trees must 
be true to name. We go a step further and 
limit propagation to buds from parent trees 
which show evident superiorities over other 
trees of the same variety. Thus the purity 
of our trees is kept intact, and inferior strains 
known to exist in some varieties are guarded 
against. 
Seedlings are planted at liberal and 
uniform distances to develop a strong root 
system. After the buds have started our 
experts take frequent trips through the 
nursery rows to make sure there; are; no 
mixtures ... an added safeguard. Budding

records are maintained in detail. The ex¬ 
ceptional care which we give our trees in 
our nurseries enable us to say to the buyer: 
“Roeding’s Quality Trees” are well grown, 
honestly represented, and offer a genuine 
value to the buyer. Plant them for profitable 
investment and lasting satisfaction.” 
Behind that statement stands the record 
of the fruit industry in California, and the 
important part our nurseries have played in 
its progress. Many fruit varieties now con¬ 
sidered as “standards” commercially were 
first tested in our orchards at Niles and 
Fresno. Today with extensive growing 
grounds in Placer and Fresno Counties, 
we propagate practically all commercial 
deciduous fruit varieties, both for the home 
orchard and commercial planting. The 
benefit of our years of experience both as 
fruit growers and as nurserymen is at the 
service of those who wish assistance in their 
orchard problems. 
Most varieties can also be supplied in 
large 6-8' trees at 5c per tree higher than in 
the 4-6' grade.
