THREE VARIETIES ON ONE TREE 
This year, with a number of our most popular fruits, we offer in limited quan¬ 
tities three varieties already grafted on one tree. These trees are fine for small 
families who use only a moderate quantity of any one variety. They are also 
valuable for those whose space is limited but who want to grow enough differ¬ 
ent kinds of fruit in their gardens to provide a long picking season. Thus, if 
one wants three kinds of peaches ripening over a period of several months but 
has space for only one tree, our multiple budded trees will solve your problem 
perfectly. The following list comprises only choice home orchard varieties.

FIGS 
Figs, as well as being a most popular home orchard fruit, are grown exten¬ 
sively for commercial drying, canning and preserving, and fresh shipment. 
We have varieties which are especially adapted for coastal districts as well as 
those which thrive best in the interior. By a proper choice of varieties you 
can enjoy fine fresh figs of your own production in almost any part of the state. 
Mature fig trees will stand a winter temperature down to about 15 degrees 
Fahrenheit. Young trees, however, are very tender and must be wrapped each 
winter. Figs are easy to grow after being established. They require very little 
pruning and no spraying. The trees will endure drought but ample irrigation 
will pay—in faster growth and better crops. Caution: The roots of fig tree 
nursery stock are very susceptible to drying out during moving and trans¬ 
planting. They should be kept covered with moist material at all times. 
Calimyrna. (Smyrna). The genuine 
Smyrna fig of commerce. Undoubtedly 
the finest fig of all, either for eating 
fresh, or dried. It also makes a fine 
canned fruit. The fruit is extra large, 
with lemon yellow skin when ripe. The 
pulp is light amber, sweet and rich. 
Regarded by many as one of the finest 
of all fruits. This variety must be cap- 
rified, or pollinized, by use of the fig 
wasp, which dwells in the caprifig. Rec¬ 
ommended only for warmer sections. 
CAFRIFIGS (Non-edible) 
These are the male figs which furnish 
the pollen for fertilizing the Calimyrna 
through the aid of the fig wasp, which 
lives and breeds in the caprifig. With¬ 
out the use of Caprifigs, the Calimyrna 
fig will not bear. Varieties: Roeding 
No. 1, Roeding No. 3, Stanford. 
Note: The Calimyrna fig is the only 
variety requiring pollination, and hence 
all the following varieties mature with¬ 
out caprification. 
Duro Black. A large black fig which 
does well in coastal sections. It pro¬ 
duces two distinct crops, the first ripen¬ 
ing in June. Popular for home orchards 
and local markets. 
*Kadota. August-September. The lead¬ 
ing canning and preserving fig of Cali¬ 
fornia. Fruit medium size, light green 
in color. Pulp sweet as honey and of 
good quality. Practically seedless. Tree 
bears when very young. 
^Mission. (California Black). Intro¬ 
duced by the Mission Fathers. The 
oldest and best all-purpose fig. A large 
spreading tree and certain bearer of two 
distinct crops. Fruit medium to large, 
dark purple to black in color; excellent 
in quality. 
White Adriatic. August. The leading 
drying fig of the San Joaquin Valley. 
Fruit medium large, white; pulp red¬ 
dish and of good quality. The tree is a 
heavy producer and easy to grow. 
-White Genoa. Undoubtedly the best 
fig for coastal districts as it develops to 
better quality than other figs in cool cli¬ 
mates and also bears better than other 
figs under these conditions. A large, 
pear-shaped fruit with light yellowish 
skin, and amber pulp of very good qual¬ 
ity. Bears two crops. Not recommended 
for interior valleys.

Pomegranates 
Wonderful. This is the leading variety 
and. the only one which has attained 
commercial rank. The fruit is larger, of 
higher color, and ships better than any 
other variety. Pomegranates are fine 
for decorative 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 light green foliage, brilliant 
scarlet flowers, and extremely large 
crimson fruit. The tree does well in 
nearly all parts of the state and the best 
fruit is produced in the warmer regions. 
QUINCES 
Quinces are universally popular for jelly making and preserves. They are 
one of the easiest fruits to grow and do well up and down the coast as well as 
throughout the interior. The trees are tremendous bearers and one or two 
trees will bear enough fruit for jelly throughout the year. The fruit ripens in 
September.

riety, and a fine all-round sort. It is 
medium in size, apple shaped, and a fine 
orange-yellow when ripe. The flesh is 
fine grained and of high quality. Pro¬ 
ductive. 
Pineapple. Fruit large, smooth, globu¬ 
lar in shape; of high quality with unsur¬ 
passed pineapple flavor. Becoming very 
popular as a commercial shipper. 
Smyrna. A quince of extra large size, 
as well as possessing fine flavor. The 
fruit is oblong, with an attractive lemon 
skin. The flesh is tender and highly per¬ 
fumed. 
ASPARAGUS 
White asparagus is produced by ridg¬ 
ing the soil above the plants so the 
shoots will be kept below ground. Plant 
the crowns in rows about six feet 
apart with the plants 24 inches apart in 
the row. They should be set from eight 
to ten inches deep. They are first cov¬ 
ered with only two or three inches of 
soil and more soil is gradually added as 
the shoots begin to grow. Do not cut the 
shoots the first year
