Cherries 
In the coast and valley regions of Southern California the 
Sweet Cherries do not bear, but they are entirely satisfactory 
in the rest of the state. The "pie" Cherries, Morello and Rich¬ 
mond, will bear large crops any place, and while a little tart 
to eat fresh, they are splendid for pies and preserves. Sev¬ 
eral varieties of Sweet Cherries should be planted together 
for cross-pollination.

Listed in order of ripening: 
Tartarian. The very finest cherry to eat fresh, and along with Bing 
making up the largest percentage of the profitable commercial cherry 
plantings. Sweet, rich, and juicy, with a rich, tempting, purplish-black 
color. The robust erect trees are heavy bearers. A good pollihizer for 
Bing and other sweet cherries. Early June. 
Richmond. Leading early sour cherry, similar to Morello, but ripen¬ 
ing two weeks earlier. Montmorency, Richmond and Morello are the 
cherries that we recommend planting in the Southern California coastal 
and valley districts. Early June. 
Morello. Fruits very large, handsome, dark wine-red, with a 
sprightly aromatic flavor; flesh tender and melting. A small round- 
headed tree, bearing heavy crops no matter where planted. We highly 
recommend Morello as the very finest cherry for planting in those 
coastal and valley sections where sweet cherries do not bear. June. 
Montmorency. This famous sour cherry originated in France before 
the seventeenth century, and although one of the oldest fruit varieties 
still propagated for general planting, it is still one of the best. For 
canning, pies or preserves the Montmorency is a splendid cherry, and 
it is not so sour but what it may be eaten out of hand with relish. 
Middle June. 
Bing. A very large, dark red cherry of extremely handsome appear¬ 
ance, and since it has the firmest flesh of all cherries, it is splendid 
for canning and shipping. Plant Tartarian with it as a pollinizer. June. 
Royal Ann (Napoleon). A magnificent cherry of the largest size; pale 
yellow with bright red cheek; flesh firm and sweet; tree an enormous 
bearer. The leading commercial canning cherry. Late June. 
Lambert. The largest cherry and one of the latest. Very large, 
heart-shaped; rich red in color; very firm fleshed, and one of the most 
beautiful cherries in appearance. Not a heavy bearer, but makes up 
for this deficiency in size and quality. Early June. 
Chinese Jujubes 
The Jujube is a small deciduous tree which bears, often the first 
year after planting, great quantities of small dark brown fruits which 
are sweet and crisp when eaten fresh, which make an excellent jam 
when cooked, but are most often used as delicious candied fruits. 
The tree grows anywhere with ease but bears best in the warmer 
interior valleys. Hardy wherever the temperature does not go below 
10 or 12° F. Fruit ripens September and October. Our grafted, field 
grown trees will bear almost at once. 
Lang. Large, pear-shaped fruit, l '/2 to 2 inches long, shown in pho¬ 
tograph above. Produces a great abundance of fruit and often bears 
the first year after planting. 4-6 ft., $1.50 each, $12.50 per 10. 
Li. This variety has the largest fruit of all, often 2 inches in diameter, 
round in shape. Has a very small pit and is deliciously sweet and 
crisp. Tree grows a little slower than Lang, hence the smaller size. 
3-4 ft., $1.50 each, $12.50 per 10; 2-3 ft., $1.25 each, $11.00 per 10. 
Hardy Deciduous 
Nectarines 
The tree of the Nectarine looks like a Peach tree, and the pit is the 
same as that of a Peach, but the skin is smooth; and the rich aromatic 
flesh has a flavor and character all of its own. Truly "the fruits of 
the Gods."

Gower. The earliest Nectarine, large, round, skin pale green over¬ 
spread with deep red; flesh is white, sweet and juicy. The earliness 
and firmness of the fruit makes it a good market variety. Early July. 
Quetta. A clingstone variety from the Orient which has been grown 
in California but a few years. The large, highly-colored red fruit is 
exceptionally beautiful in appearance, while the flesh is unusually 
firm, and because of these characteristics it has proved to be an ex¬ 
ceptional commercial variety. A good home fruit as well. Late July. 
Stanwick. For many years has been California's leading Nectarine. 
Extremely large fruit, the skin pale green, shaded purplish red: the 
flesh white and juicy, with a most delicious aromatic flavor. Early 
August. 
Boston. Immense bright yellow fruit, with a red cheek and rich 
yellow flesh. The yellow fleshed Nectarines while not quite so spicy 
and piquant as the white fleshed varieties have a sweeter and richer 
flavor. Late August. 
Lippiatts Late Orange. Another splendid new introduction from New 
Zealand and one of the finest Nectarines ever grown. Very large, 
golden orange-yellow inside and out; firm, sweet, and rich. Late 
August. 
Quinces 
The Quince is a splendid fruit for preserves, the flesh becoming a 
beautiful dark red when cooked. The trees thrive and bear well 
almost anywhere.

Pineapple. One of Luther Burbank's originations, with a round, 
short-necked, golden-yellow fruit. The flavor is suggestive of the 
pineapple. October. 
Smyrna. Extremely large fruits, delightfully fragrant when fresh 
and delicious when cooked. Bears enormous crops. October. 
LANG JUJUBES 
California Prunes 
Prunes are merely Plums with a higher percentage of sugar which 
will dry without removal of the pit. They are usually very handsome 
in appearance, are excellent to eat fresh, and are valuable for all 
home uses in addition to their value as a commercial drying product. 
The yield of all varieties of Prunes will be materially increased if 
several kinds are interplanted for cross-pollination. 
Prices same as for Cherries. 
Tragedy. The best early Prune and always a favorite because of its 
attractive high quality dark purple fruit with yellowish-green flesh; 
firm, sweet, and richly flavored. 
Sugar. Very large, oval, dark purple fruit, tender, sweet and 
sugary; particularly fine for home planting in Southern California, 
where the tree is exceedingly productive in all sections. July. 
Standard. Possibly the handsomest and finest of all Prunes for home 
use or as fresh fruit for the market. The big oval fruits are deep 
purple with a rich blue bloom, and the flesh is amber colored, sweet, 
and juicy. Particularly fine in the valley situations of Southern Cali¬ 
fornia where other Prunes do not do quite so well. August. 
Robe de Sargent. A splendid fruit in itself, with large oval deep 
purple fruits and sweet, rich, greenish-yellow flesh, but is also widely 
known as a good pollinizer for other varieties. August. 
French Improved. The standard commercial drying variety which has 
made California Dried Prunes famous. Large oval fruits of deep 
purple, with sweet sugary flesh, produced in great quantities. Sept.
