—— 
NEW PARADISE ASPARAGUS 
This wonderful new variety is far 
superior to any sort now on the 
market. It is hard to believe that 
any asparagus could produce as 
much as 5 ton per acre a season 
yet this yield has been carefully 
checked. Compare this with 1 ton 
per acre from Mary Washington 
from which Paradise is a sport. 
Another important feature is Its 
unusually mild taste. 
The great demand together with 
the, as yet, limited production of 
roots makes it necessary to limit 
orders to a maximum of 1000, sub¬ 
ject to our supply being unsold. 
Prices: 
50c per dozen—$3.75 per 100. 
$36.00 per 1000—postpaid. 
NEW MARIPOSA PLUM 
Plant Patent No. 111 
A new Blood Plum so much of an improve¬ 
ment over the Satsuma that, you can rest 
assured, it will rapidly supplant that old fav¬ 
orite. Large, round, and maroon red fruit— 
deep red flesh all the way through, honey¬ 
like sweet, and with abundant juice, yet 
quite firm. Truly a fruit of magnificent flav¬ 
or with no bitterness to either skin or pit. 
4- tc 6-foot trees 85c each, postpaid.

New Dorset 
NEW BABCOCK 
PEACH 
The Sure Crop Peach 
The most important fea¬ 
ture of the Babcock is 
that it will bear a crop 
every year regardless of 
winter temperatures. This 
was proven definitely in 
past seasons when be¬ 
cause of the mild winter 
the Babeock and the C. 
O. Smith varieties were 
the only ones to bear a 
uniformly good crop. Moat 
Peaches, whenever we 
have a very mild winter 
with some warm weather 
in February, react un¬ 
favorably and do not set 
a normal crop, so that a 
crop is lost on most va¬ 
rieties about every third 
or fourth year. 
Entirely aside from the , . , , _ x . T , 
above feature, Babcock is an excellent Peach. It ripens early, in the latter part of June when 
Peaches are still very scarce, is white fleshed, has a beautiful red cheek, and is of exceptionally 
high quality, being sweet, juicy and richly flavored, much superior to most other early peaches 
which are frequently rather watery. The New Babcock is a freestone variety. 
For crop insurance the Babcock should be fertilized heavily about February or March using a 
mixture containing a large percentage of phosphates. It is advisable to keep the tree open and 
to pick the fruit when color begins to show, allowing them to ripen off the tree. The Babcock 
fruit will not fall off. 
4- to 6-foot trees, 65c each; 10 for $5.50; 
100 for $40.00. 
3- to 4-foot trees, 55c each; 10 for $4.50; 
100 for $35.00. 
If desired shipped by mail add 10c 
per tree for postage. 
NEW DORSET 
STRAWBERRY 
Introduced by the United States Department 
of Agriculture last year this new variety 
seems destined to become a major straw¬ 
berry in this section. Experiments have 
proven its adaptability which is decidedly 
important in that some sorts do well here 
and not elsewhere while the reverse is often 
the case. However on the results obtained 
we can confidently recommend it. 
The Dorset is very productive, the fruit of 
very large size, and the crop comes quite 
early. The quality is very good, being firm, 
of good appearance, a splendid keeper and 
most important of all superior in flavor to 
most other berries. In addition the vines are 
vigorous growers reaching maximum pro¬ 
duction quickly thus insuring a good crop 
at an early date. 
We believe that the Dorset will soon become 
one of the leading varieties in Southern 
California and if present results are to be 
taken as a guide it will supplant in popu¬ 
larity most of the others. 
25 for 75c; 50 for $1.25; 100 for $2.00: 300 for 
$5.00; 500 for $8.00; 1000 for $14.00. 
All prices postpaid. 
NEW THORNLESS LOGANBERRY 
Plant Patent No. 82 
Another season’s experience simply proves 
the claims made for this introduction of last 
year. For the home garden or the grower it 
ranks appreciably higher than the common 
Loganberry. 
Three points of difference stand out. It is 
earlier, produces over a longer period, and 
is more prolific. Thus you have fruit to 
pick earlier and for a longer time and you 
also have more berries. In addition it makes 
stronger canes and more vigorous plants. 
The berries are larger with the same tang 
and flavor and the vines are ABSOLUTELY 
THORNLESS. 
35c each; 3 for $1.00; 10 for $2.50; 
100 for $20.00. Postpaid.
