PECANS 
This nut tree has definitely shown itself to be a 
profitable commercial crop in the interior valleys of 
California and in Arizona. It does best in a deep, 
sandy loam. The trees are hardy everywhere in Cali¬ 
fornia but will not mature its nuts well, above the 
level of the valley. Are resistant to the hottest 
weather found in the state, and thrive in arid dis¬ 
tricts but require plenty of irrigation. 
Columbus. Originated in this nursery years ago 
and is true French type, hardier than other kinds 
and of fine size (see cut above) and flavor. A fine 
variety for Oregon or home use. 6 to 8 ft., $1.50; 4 to 
6 ft., $1.25; 3 to 4 ft., $1.00; 2 to 3 ft., 85c.

WALNUT SEEDLINGS

The varieties we list are adapted to our arid cli¬ 
mate, and have been successful here. Only Halbert 
and Caloro are self-fertile and can be depended upon 
to bear when planted by themselves. All of the 
others must be planted with some other variety to 
provide cross-pollination. We will make proper selec¬ 
tions for you. Plant from 40 to 60 feet apart. 
The Pecan makes a splendid, fast growing, large 
shade tree wherever it is planted in California, grow¬ 
ing just as large, in time, but not so spreading, as 
the walnut.

Burkett. Valuable Pecan for California and Ari¬ 
zona. Trees that have borne in this state have had 
very heavy crops. The nut is large, almost round, 
thin-shelled, the whole meat coming out very read¬ 
ily. Success or Halbert pollinate this variety. 
Caloro. This new Pecan is very large, long, and 
tapering, and of the very highest quality. Cracks 
and separates from the shell easily and perfectly. 
The thrifty upright tree begins to bear in the third 
year, producing heavily thereafter. Needs no cross¬ 
pollination. For commercial and home use for the 
warm inland valleys of California. 
Halbert. Bears extremely heavy crops while still 
young; trees in the desert sections of California pro¬ 
ducing as much as 190 pounds per tree eight years 
after planting. The nuts are extremely thin-shelled, 
small to medium size, shelling out readily, and are 
of very high quality. It is an excellent pollinizer for 
other varieties.
