CITRUS AND SUBTROPICAL FRUITS 
OLIVES 
In northern California, citrus fruits are 
produced commercially only in the warmer 
districts. But a few trees in sheltered 
locations, or near the house, can be suc¬ 
cessfully grown in many sections. Citrus 
fruits produce heavily, and serve as 
beautiful ornamental plants, as well. Care¬ 
ful bud selection is practiced in the propa¬ 
gation of our trees, and growers find them to 
be of the best quality. Citrus and avocados 
are balled, and can be planted anytime 
during the spring or early summer. Ship¬ 
ping weight, fifty to sixty pounds each. 
Grading Citrus Trees. Citrus trees are 
graded by caliper, the diameter being taken 
three inches above where the tree is budded.

Wonderful. This is the leading variety, 
and the only one which has attained com¬ 
mercial rank. The fruit is larger, deeper in 
color, and ships better than any other 
variety. Pomegranates are fine for decora¬ 
tive purposes in the late fall, and their juice 
makes a delightful and invigorating drink. 
The plant is also one of our most ornamental 
deciduous fruit trees. It is a tree-like shrub, 
with attractive foliage, bright scarlet flowers, 
and extremely large crimson fruit.
