Citrus and 
Subtropical Fruits 
The orange is California’s leading fruit crop—production last 
year amounting to 28 million boxes. 
Although you may not be located in a commercial citrus district, 
the chances are you can grow many of our lest varieties in pro¬ 
tected locations around the house. There is probably nothing better 
for yard planting than these beautiful evergreen trees, with their 
globular heads, dark glossy foliage, and golden fruit. A half dozen 
selected varieties will provide all the fresh fruit, lemonade and 
orange juice the average family can use. 
Our citrus trees are of first quality, and commercial planters are 
urged to get our quotations. Citrus trees (except for export ship¬ 
ment) are sold balled rather than bare root, and their shipping 
iceight will range from 50 to 75 pounds per tree. Shipping season 
lasts through June. 
GRADING-. Citrus trees are graded by caliper, the diameter being 
taken three inches above the bud.

WASHINGTON NAVEL GROVE, TULARE COUNTY 
The world’s finest Navel oranges are produced here. 
Washington Navel Orange. The well- 
known Navel, popular in all markets 
throughout the world, is California’s 
most famous fruit variety. The fruit is 
large, beautiful to the eye, seedless, and 
unexcelled in quality. It possesses fine 
shipping qualities and the tree is pre¬ 
cocious and prolific. November to April. 
Valencia Date Orange. The summer 
orange of California which begins to 
ripen at the close of the Navel season. 
The fruit is medium to large; oblong. 
The flesh is of good quality, containing 
abundant juice which makes this va¬ 
riety the standard juice orange. The 
tree attains large size and is a regular 
and very heavy producer. May to No¬ 
vember. 
Eureka Demon. The leading lemon for 
both commercial and home planting. 
The fruit is of good size, clear lemon 
color, and of the highest quality, with 
abundant juice and few seeds. The tree 
is almost thornless and blooms and pro¬ 
duces heavy crops throughout the year, 
with the bulk of the crop ripening dur¬ 
ing the spring and summer. This lemon 
is exceedingly prolific and probably 
bears heavier than any other citrus 
variety. 
Disbon Demon. This variety is some¬ 
what hardier than the Eureka, and 
hence is the predominating lemon north 
of the Tehachapi. The fruit is of medi¬ 
um size, high in quality, with few seeds. 
The tree is large, a good producer, but 
thorny. It bears throughout the year. 
Marsh Seedless Pomelo (Grapefruit). 
Known as “grapefruit,” because the 
fruit hangs on the tree in clusters. This 
is the finest variety, grown almost to 
the exclusion of others. The fruit is 
very large, practically seedless, with 
abundant juice of the best quality. Feb¬ 
ruary to August. 
CITRUS—DESS COMMON AND 
DWARP VARIETIES 
Many of the following varieties are 
surprisingly hardy as well as beautiful 
ornamental trees. In them is combined 
beauty and utility, and they also have 
a novelty interest to many. 
Price—$2.50 Each 
Kumquat. The smallest and hardiest 
citrus fruit. Bears, in great profusion, 
olive-shaped fruits about one inch in 
diameter; prized for marmalade and 
candied fruits. The dwarf tree, covered 
with golden yellow fruit, makes a most 
beautiful and striking appearance and 
it is often planted in pots for patios. Is 
hardy throughout most of California. 
Dancy Tangerine. The fruit is small to 
medium, flattened at ends. The skin is 
thin, a deep orange red, and separates 
readily from the flesh, which is sweet 
and rich. Fruit ripens during early 
spring and the tree bears fine crops. 
Bearss Seedless Dime. The largest and 
finest lime; fruit resembling a small 
lemon; seedless, very juicy, acid, with 
fine lime flavor. The tree is very pro¬ 
lific, maturing fruit the year arouna. 
Rather tender and subject to killing 
frosts. 
Rangpur Dime. The hardiest lime; fully 
as hardy as the lemon. Fruit roundish, 
medium size, orange-red skin, with deep 
orange flesh. Highly acid and of good 
quality. 
Satsuma Orange. One of the hardiest of 
all citrus fruits. The fruit is attractive 
and fine in quality. The good sized, 
flattened, deep orange fruits have a skin 
which separates readily, and sweet, rich 
flesh of pleasant flavor. The tree is a 
dwarf grower. November to April.

Succeeds Throughout California 
AVOCADOS 
“THE KING OF SALAD FRUITS” 
The avocado is somewhat more tender than the orange but the more hardy 
varieties can be grown commercially where it is not too cold for the lemon. 
The trees are sold balled and should be planted during the spring months. Com¬ 
mercial orchards are set from 22 to 2J f feet apart, and the trees begin to bear 
about the fourth year. 
In northern California we recommend planting avocados around the house, 
or in other sheltered locations. We handle the hardiest varieties.

Duke. One of the hardiest of all varie¬ 
ties. It stands both heat and cold as 
well as any other, and is especially 
suited to northern California. A thin- 
skinned, oval, green variety, weighing 
from 8 to 12 ounces, and of excellent 
quality. October to November. 
Fuerte. This is the outstanding com¬ 
mercial variety. A good sized, oblong, 
dull green fruit, containing a maximum 
of 25% to 30% oil, with smooth buttery 
texture and rich flavor. November to 
June. 
Puebla. A medium-sized deep maroon- 
purple fruit, thin-skinned, and one of 
the hardiest. The flesh is rich and of 
good quality, with an oil content from 
18 to 28 per cent. A large symmetrical 
tree, producing heavy crops. November
