California, but bear well in almost all sections.

Bartlett. The most widely cultivated Pear in California, 
large, buttery and melting, with rich flavor; tree a vig¬ 
orous grower, bears abundantly. Bartlett has every 
quality needed for a perfect home and market Pear. 
Bartlett in orchard plantings will yield larger crops if 
interplanted with a pollinizer, the best kinds for this 
purpose being Winter Nelis and Beurre D'Anjou. August. 
Flemish Beauty. A superb Pear of medium size, with 
a rich, musky flavor. September. 
Seckel. Fruit small, but well colored, and there is no 
other variety which possesses such exquisitely flavored 
perfumed juicy flesh, even the skin being spicy. Sept. 
Beurre D'Anjou. Large, deep yellow, marked with rus¬ 
set and crimson. Flesh tender, sweet and juicy. An 
excellent pollinizer for Bartlett. October. 
Beurre Bose. A beautiful deep yellow russeted Pear, 
with long tapering neck, in quality ranking second only 
to Bartlett, for which it is an excellent pollinizer. Sept. 
Winter Bartlett. A small Pear, similar to Bartlett in 
shape, color and flavor, but ripening very late. Tree 
very productive and the fruit keeps remarkably well. 
The only Pear thriving in the Imperial Valley. November. 
Winter Nelis. The standard winter Pear. Fruit small, 
unusually russetted, with a ruddy cheek; a delectable, 
rich, aromatic flavor. Enormously productive, and the 
fruit keeps well in storage all winter. December. 
Dwarf Early Bearing Pears 
Bartlett, Beurre D'Anjou, and Winter Nelis are avail¬ 
able on dwarf root stock, the trees never getting more 
than about 8 feet high. This dwarfing causes the tree 
to begin bearing almost immediately, and they bear 
immense crops, considering their size. They are splendid 
for small places, and for home gardens will be found 
more satisfactory, we believe, than the standard Pear 
trees listed above. 6-8 ft. trees, $1.10 each, $10.00 per 
10; 4-6 ft., 90c each, $8.50 per 10. 
Pomegranates 
Pomegranates are one of the most ornamental of all 
fruit trees with their bright scarlet hibiscus-like flowers 
and their big crimson fall-ripening fruits. They grow 
quickly into a large 8-foot bush and thrive anywhere 
from the seacoast to the hottest desert valleys, doing 
best where there is considerable heat. The clear red 
juice of the fruit makes a delicious beverage, either by 
itself or used to impart a red color to other fruit juices, 
while there is no finer center piece for the Thanksgiving 
or Christmas table than a bowl of J?ig red Pomegranates.

garnet flesh, very juicy and of excellent flavor. 
The Espalier Fruit Trees offered at the bottom of the page looked like this 
during the past summer. Note the heavy crop of fruit. This happens to be 
a Salway Peach, fan type. 
Japanese Persimmons 
Every year in California more people are enjoying in November and December 
ripe Hachiya Persimmons with sugar and lemon juice, a dish fit for a king. If you 
like your Persimmons soft, to be eaten as a salad fruit, you will probably want to 
plant the popular Hachiya. If you prefer to eat your Persimmon out of hand, you 
will want the popular non-astringent Fuyu or the new large fruited lumbu. Per¬ 
simmons are quite ornamental trees because the leaves turn bright colors in the fall, 
and the richly colored orange-red fruits are beautiful either on the tree or as table 
decorations.

Fuyu 15c per tree higher; Jumbu 50c per 
tree higher. 
Hachiya. Very large conical fruit of 
bright orange-red, with sweet, rich, mel¬ 
low flesh. Astringent until ripe and then 
very fine indeed. A large well-grown 
Hachiya Persimmon is one of the most 
beautiful fruits grown. Most fruits seen 
in the markets are of this variety. 
Fuyu. This new Persimmon is quite 
different from all other commonly grown 
varieties in that it is never astringent or 
puckery. It is quite firm even when fully 
ripe and may be eaten hard like an ap¬ 
ple whenever it is sweet enough. The 
fruits are large, flattened and are borne 
in great quantities. The trees bear much 
younger than most persimmons and pro¬ 
duce great clusters of fruit from the sec¬ 
ond year on. More difficult to grow and 
we ask 15c per tree more. 
Tamopan. Very large, cup-shaped fruit, 
similar to Hachiya in quality but ripen¬ 
ing later. The tough skin holds its shape, 
making a natural cup from which the 
pulp can be spooned when ripe. 
The New Jumbu 
Jumbu. We are offering for the first 
time this season a new, non-puckery, 
large fruited Persimmon of which we 
think very highly. It is somewhat simi¬ 
lar to Fuyu in general characteristics 
and is absolutely non-astringent but is 
much larger, slightly more conical in 
shape, and ripens a few days later. It 
is the finest and largest non-astringent 
Persimmon that we have seen. The fruit 
is good to eat at all stages after it has 
begun to color, and it is delicious eaten 
while hard or after it has become soft. 
The trees of the Jumbu Persimmon are 
priced at 50c per tree higher than the 
prices given above. 
Hachiya Persimmons are Big, Luscious Cones of Goodness 
Espalier Fruit Trees 
We have available this season a splendid lot of Espalier 
Fruit Trees, those unique and interesting trees which are 
trained to grow in one plane only. For planting against walls 
and in patios, they are exceedingly unique and beautiful at all 
times during the year, and they will produce quantities of 
excellent fruit which is even larger and more highly colored 
than that grown on ordinary trees if the plants are properly 
cared for. We have three types available: Fans, Cordon, and 
Double U. The illustration at top of page shows a peach grown 
fan-shaped. 
The following fruits are available in Espalier form: 
Apricots Figs Peaches 
Apples Nectarines Plums 
Grapes Prunes 
Each 
Large boxed specimens, extra size, 4-yr.$15.00 
Large boxed specimens, 3-yr. 10.00 
Large specimens, with ball of earth, 2-yr. G.00 
When above trees must be crated for shipment by freight or 
express, add $1.50 per plant. This extra charge does not apply 
on truck deliveries. 
The above specimens have nearly all borne one crop of fruit. 
The largest size above ($15.00) is available in Apples, Plums, 
and Grapes only. A number of standard varieties are available 
in the case of each fruit.
