EXPORT DEPARTMENT 
CALIFORNIA NURSERY COMPANY SERVICE IS WORLD WIDE 
To helpfully serve our friends, 
whether they be located close at 
hand or at some far distant 
point across the seas, is our con¬ 
stant aim, our continued en¬ 
deavor, and to this end our ef¬ 
forts are directed. 
Geographic location and cli¬ 
matic conditions have an impor¬ 
tant bearing on the growth and 
development of plant life. It is 
gratifying to us that so many of 
our friends in all parts of the 
world continue to write us re¬ 
garding their planting problems. 
In order that you may be assured of the best results from 
your orchard, vineyard, rose garden, or landscaping, we 
offer without obligation the advice and counsel of a staff 
of experts of wide experience and study in all phases of 
orchard and ornamental planting. Your problems are our 
problems. 
As indicated by the rough chart shown above, California 
Nursery Company ships fruit trees and ornamental plants 
to every continent of the globe, and we take a great deal 
of pride in a long record of safe deliveries. Our location 
at Niles, but a short distance from the great port of San 
Francisco, where splendid shipping facilities are avail¬ 
able to all corners of the world, assures you of prompt and 
rapid shipment of your orders. 
Our organization includes a fully equipped Export De¬ 
partment, located in our Main Office at Niles. As is the 
case with all shipments, only the best of stock is selected 
for Export orders. The young plants are carefully' packed 
in strong wooden export cases, built of new lumber. A suffi¬ 
cient amount of damp moss or other packing material is 
used to protect the plants from lack of moisture. A thick 
inner-lining is used to seal out 
heat, and the cases are securely 
closed and reinforced with iron 
straps. After long days by rail, 
or weeks at sea, your order will 
reach ^ou fresh and new, the 
young plants eager to start 
growing in their new home. 
It is our aim to helpfully serve 
you; to assist you in solving 
your planting problems; to fur¬ 
nish you plant material of the 
highest quality obtainable; to 
select and pack your order care¬ 
fully; and to effect delivery to 
you with the least possible delay. Write us concerning 
your particular problems. Give us a brief description of 
your geographic location, your climatic conditions, range 
of temperature, annual rainfall and seasonal precipita¬ 
tion, and we will, after a thorough study, be glad to sug¬ 
gest and recommend the varieties of fruit trees or other 
plants best suited to your locality. Send us a list of the 
varieties and sizes of trees or plants in which you are par¬ 
ticularly interested, and we will, without obligation on 
your part, be glad to submit a complete estimate of the 
approximate delivered cost of your order. 
We are always at your service.

PINEAPPLE GUAVAS 
Feijoa sellowiana. A valuable subtropi¬ 
cal plant which is hardy almost any¬ 
where in California, withstanding tem¬ 
peratures down to 10 deg. F. It makes 
an attractive shrub or small tree, and 
bears oval fruit the size of hens’ eggs, 
with delicious pineapple flavor and a 
delightful aroma. It also has most at¬ 
tractive flowers. This fruit plant should 
be better known in northern California 
and we recommend it for both its beauty 
and utility. We have the Coolidge va¬ 
riety (budded) which bears heavily 
every year. Balled plants, 18 in. to 24 
in., $2.50 each. 
OLIVES 
Olives grow in nearly all sections 
but prefer the warmer parts of the 
state. Of all fruits, the olive is most 
tolerant of alkaline soils, and it also 
gets along on dry infertile soils better 
than most fruits. Olives make attrac¬ 
tive and useful avenue or border trees, 
and home pickled green or ripe olives 
are a delightful delicacy and excellent 
food.

Manzanillo. One of the best pickling 
olives. It is larger than Mission and 
ripens earlier, thus escaping early fall 
frosts. The fruit is rather tender and 
should be handled carefully but the 
pickled fruit is unsurpassed in quality. 
Productive. October. 
Mission. The oldest variety, introduced 
by the padres. The trees are hardy, 
heavy producers, and the fruit is the 
best general purpose olive, being fine 
for pickling and also the leading oil va¬ 
riety. The fruit is medium in size and 
has fine flavor. November. 
Sevillano. The famous Queen olive of 
commerce. It is one of the largest va¬ 
rieties and is used for pickling, the 
larger sizes being in great demand and 
bringing fine prices. 
THE WHITE SAPOTA 
An attractive evergreen tree, hardy 
as the orange, which can be grown suc¬ 
cessfully in many locations in central 
and northern California, and deserves 
to be better known in this area. The 
fruit, borne in clusters, resembles 
somewhat green apples in appearance 
and the better varieties have a rich, 
peach-like flavor, much liked by most 
people. We handle the Suebelle variety, 
one of the best in quality. In 5-gal. 
cans, $3.00 each.
