other Quince. Very large size, very hardy; bear young 
and regtdarly; ripen September 1st and on account of 
their ripening in advance of any other quince, and at a 
time when every housekeeper is in the midst of the 
season’s home canning operations, they are subject to 
a demand on every market that no later ripening Quince 
enjoys. 
WALNUTS 
Eureka. Tree remarkably vigorous; upright grower; 
leaves and blooms three weeks later than seedlings of 
the Santa Barbara softshell. Nuts are large, elongated, 
smooth and tightly sealed. A desirable variety for plant¬ 
ing in the interior valleys. Regularly productive. 
Franquette. The intrinsic value of this French va¬ 
riety is just beginning to dawn on the nut growers of 
California. It is large, elongated, oval; kernel full, 
sweet and rich, nutty flavor. The nuts command very 
high prices. A particularly desirable feature of this 
variety and the Mayette is the fact that it is a late 
bloomer, buds beginning to swell about the beginning 
of April. 
Mayette. The best late blooming variety. Tree and 
nut are immune from blight; not subject to sunburn, 
and on that account are desirable for the interior valleys. 
The nuts are medium size, with smooth, thin shells. The 
meat fills the shell well; kernels are sweet and of real 
mild, nutty flavor. 
Payne’s Seedling. One of the most popular varieties. 
Tree a rapid and thrifty grower and an immense bearer 
of fine quality nuts. Well suited to deep, moist soil and 
locations where ample irrigation is available. Nut of 
good average quality, good size and moderately smooth.
