SANTA ROSA, CAL., November 15th, 1899 
E very Plant, Fruit, Tree, Flower and Vegetable which has been sent out 
into the World from my establishment is acknowledged to be a blessing to 
humanity. Every one is proving its value in some locality or for some 
purpose. Some thriving in Siberia, others in India, the isles of the seas or by 
the Pyramids in Egypt. I now offer some of last season’s novelties at greatly 
reduced prices, these are acknowledged the best of ale and the great 
ORCHARDS OF CALIFORNIA ARE NOW BEING GRAFTED OVER BY THE HUNDRED 
acres each to these new ones. It is of no use to plant old foreign 
varieties any longer, they are “ back numbers ” and will not pay. 
SUGAR PRUNE has proved more than all that has ever been claimed 
for it. It ripens twenty-eight days before the French prune and though nearly 
four times as large it dries in half the time. The trees have never failed to pro¬ 
duce a full crop even when side by side the French prune has year afttr 3-ear 
been a partial or complete failure. 
Spring frosts do not affect it. The trees are better growers, and require 
less careful pruning; the branches are larger and stronger, the foliage is heavier 
and owing to more vigorous growth thrives on much poorer soil and the trees 
commence bearing two years earlier than the common prune. The prunes when 
cured are unequalled in their combination of size, beauty and quality. 
Trees —4 to 6 feet on plum root, each $5. Per ten $30. 
Dormant buds —O11 almond or peach roots, each 50c; per ten $3.50; per

each $5; per ten $30. 
There are less than 250 Sugar Prune trees in existence now. 
Grafting wood —Per foot $2; ten feet $10; one hundred feet $50; one 
thousand feet $300.
