Yosemite. —While on a vacation last summer in the wonderful Yosemite 
Valley, which is abundantly supplied with wild strawberries, a single cluster 
of very large leaved, vigorous plants was found loaded with sweet, light 
scarlet berries, nearly, or quite, as large as the Crescent Seedling, with the 
true wild strawberry flavor. The cluster of plants was removed to the 
nursery, and is now (last of October) bearing another crop of delicious 
berries. I offer plants for sale this season, knowing that my customers 
will be pleased with them. Price, 15 cents each; $1.00 per dozen. 
A class of trees to which California soil and climate are peculiarly adapted, 
and one which has been greatly neglected, but is beginning to receive the 
attention which it deserves. 
Most of the nut-bearing trees are longer than fruit trees in coming into 
bearing, yet some varieties, like the “ Praeparturieus ” and “ California Soft- 
shell ” walnuts, and the Spanish and Japan chestnuts come into bearing as soon 
as apple, pear, or plum trees. They are all elegant shade trees, remarkably free 
from the attacks of insects of every description, make fine shelter belts around 
a farm, are long lived, aud add greatly to the value of land, whether planted as 
shelter belts, in groves, or along avenues. Nut-groves have proved to be much 
more profitable even than orange-groves. 
CHESTNUTS. 
Price, 25 to 50

cents each, except Japan Mammoth; in quantities, see 
Italian Chestnut. 
Italian, or Spanish, bears the large nut of commerce. The trees grow 
vigorously in this climate, and commence to bear very young, often when only 
four or five years old. Some of my yearling trees, sold two years ago, bore 
fruit this Fall. 
China Chestnut. — The trees and nuts closely resemble the Italian or 
Spanish.
