LEIB'S FROSTFIGHTER WALNUT 
The Key to Better Walnut Orchards 
The Frostfighter is a valuable new black walnut hybrid understock, for 
sale exclusively by us. It is an exceedingly rapid and vigorous grower and 
has perfect affinity for English varieties. By planting Frostfighters, and later 
topworking, a very rapid growing and uniform orchard is obtained. 
Orchards topworked on Frostfighter are less subject to sunburn and coine 
into profitable bearing at an earlier age. 
Frostfighter as a Pollinizer 
Scientific tests have shown the Franquette to greatly increase its crops by 
the introduction of pollinizers. On account of its late blooming, the Frost¬ 
fighter is one of the few walnuts that will pollinize it successfully. 
The Frostfighter is valuable as an understock, or as a pollinizer, and is 
not to be grown for its own nuts. It also makes an attractive and rapid 
growing shade tree. 
Frostfighters are the same price as English varieties. 
Payne Seedling. A nut fully as large as 
Franquette, with a thin shell and ker¬ 
nel of very good quality. The outstand¬ 
ing merits of this variety are its heavy 
production and its extreme early bear¬ 
ing. A few nuts are often obtained the 
second year but, of course, several 
years are required for commercial 
crops. The tree does not grow as large 
as other varieties and it may be planted 
somewhat closer. An important com¬ 
mercial variety. 
WALNUTS ON WHITE ROOT 
The English, or White root, is 
in demand in sections troubled 
with Crown Rot. We will gladly 
quote prices on commercial varie¬ 
ties to be budded on white root, 
for delivery the following year. 
Our Three-Blood Royal root is 
preferable for soils infested with 
Oak Root Fungus. 
FILBERTS 
Filberts are improved varieties of the 
old hazelnut which grows wild up and 
down the Pacific Coast. Filberts are 
adapted to many sections in northern 
California and along the coast. They 
are immune to frost in this state, and 
growers in frosty locations often find 
this nut ideally suited to their condi¬ 
tions. The trees bear at an early age. 
Cross pollination is one of the most 
important problems in connection with 
filbert culture, and more than one va¬ 
riety must be planted. 
Price Each 1 to 10 
3 to 4 ft. grade....$1.00 
Write for prices on larger quantities. 
Barcelona. By far the best variety, and 
80% of all plantings should consist of 
Barcelona. Nut medium to large, rich 
brown in color. Shell medium thick, 
kernel sweet and excellent. One of the 
heaviest producers. 
Daviana. A very light producer, but an 
excellent pollinizer for Barcelona and 
Du Chilly. Tree an upright grower. 
Du Chilly. A large nut with medium 
thick shell, and excellent quality. A 
good pollinizer for Barcelona and of 
medium production. Second only to 
Barcelona in desirability. 
White Aveline. A light producer which 
is grown for its pollinizing value. The 
tree is low growing. 
CHESTNUTS 
Cfiestnut trees are well adapted to 
our coastal valleys, as well as to the 
Stockton area, where there are a num¬ 
ber of thriving orchards. Chestnuts 
bloom very late, are never injured by 
frost, and are therefore especially valu¬ 
able for frosty locations. They grow 
into large, spreading trees and should 
be planted about 40 feet apart. Always 
plant two or more varieties to provide 
cross-pollination. 
Budded Chestnuts 
Price Each 
3 to 4 ft. grade. $1.75 
2 to 3 ft. grade. 1.50 
Boone. Medium large in size and early 
ripening; very prolific producer. It 
makes a large tree which begins to bear 
early; is an excellent pollinizer for the 
Progress. 
Progress. A tried commercial variety. A 
heavy bearer of exceptionally fine qual¬ 
ity nuts. The tree is very ornamental. 
It should have Boone as pollinizer for 
heavy fruiting. 
PECANS 
Pecans are well adapted to the 
warmer sections of California. They 
require a deep rich soil, with ample 
moisture and good drainage. The large, 
tliin-shelled, budded varieties, which are 
now propagated exclusively, are far 
superior to the seedlings of a few years 
ago. 
Price Each 
4 to 6 ft. grade. $1.75 
3 to 4 ft. grade. 1.50 
Burkett. Nut large, almost round, thin 
shelled. The tree is vigorous and a 
heavy cropper in California. Plant Hal¬ 
bert or Success with it as a pollinizer. 
*Caloro. One of the most handsome of 
the pecan trees. It grows tall and slen¬ 
der, with beautiful, large foliage, and 
is one of the best fruiters for the in¬ 
terior valleys. The nut is very large, 
thin shelled, long and tapering. Cracks 
and shells easier than other varieties. 
Does not require cross-pollination, thus 
is adapted to home planting, as well as 
commercial orchards. 
*Halbert. Nuts rather small, almost 
round, and thin shelled. Kernel of deli¬ 
cate flavor and excellent quality. A 
heavy producer and bears when very 
young. Self-fruitful. 
‘Success. The most widely planted va¬ 
riety in California. Nut large and ob¬ 
long. Shell medium thin, parting freely 
from the kernel, which is plump and of 
fine quality. One of the best for the 
home orchard. Self-fruitful.
