Deciduous Fruit and Nut Trees 
Pecans Walnuts 
The Pecan is a tree which adapts itself to a wide range of climatic and soil 
conditions, being perfectly hardy everywhere in the Southwest except in the 
coldest mountain areas. It thrives in regions with warm summers, should be well 
irrigated throughout the dry season, and does best in a deep sandy loam. Pecans 
are already a profitable commercial crop in certain desert areas and are now 
being more widely planted in the interior valleys. A fine shade tree, anyplace. 
All of the Pecan trees that we send out will 
be pruned back severely, ready for planting, 
because this is necessary in order to get good 
results.

Success. This has been the most widely 
planted of all Pecans in California and the 
finest and oldest-bearing trees are of this 
variety. Large and oblong, with a medium 
thick shell, and a kernel of the finest flavor. 
Burkett. It has proven to be a valuable 
Pecan for California and Arizona, and the 
trees that are now in bearing produce excep¬ 
tionally heavy crops. The nut is large, round, 
very thin-shelled, the whole meat coming out 
very readily. 
Caloro. The nut is very large, long and 
tapering and cracks and separates from the 
shell easily and perfectly. The tree is most 
handsome, growing tall and slender with 
beautiful, large, luxuriant foliage. 
Western Schley (Perfection). A long, thin- 
shelled nut which grows more rapidly and 
bears younger than most other varieties, pro¬ 
ducing enormous crops. Makes a splendid 
planting mate for Burkett. 
Nellis. We found this splendid Pecan sev¬ 
eral years ago near Whittier and we have 
grown it because it seemed to thrive and 
bear so well in the coastal districts of Cali¬ 
fornia where other varieties are not entirelv 
successful. The long, thin-shelled nuts shell 
out easily and are of excellent quality. 
Mahan — 
The World’s Finest Pecan 
The sensation of the Pecan world is 
the gigantic new Mahan, which orig¬ 
inated several years ago in Mississippi. 
The nuts of the Mahan are enormous, 
averaging 2'/2 inches in length, and the 
paper-thin shells cracking almost as 
easily as a peanut, are completely filled 
with richly flavored kernels, which drop 
out in unbroken halves under the 
slightest pressure. They average 31 nuts 
to the pound—an amazing figure. 
The Mahan is a strong growing tree, bear¬ 
ing several years earlier than most Pecans, 
and producing heavy crops. The variety is 
in bearing in the Yuma Pecan District, and 
while as yet little tried in other sections of 
California, there seems to be no good reason 
why it will not prove successful over most of 
the State. A magnificent, luxuriantly foliaged 
shade tree.

Armstrong Walnut trees are grown under 
conditions of soil and climate which produce 
an excellent root system and a clean vigorous 
top. Walnuts make a wonderful shade tree 
for the home, but give them plenty of room

Placentia. The Placentia is the most popu¬ 
lar and profitable Walnut in Southern Cali¬ 
fornia. The nuts are roundish oval, smooth, 
with a thin strong shell, of the most desir¬ 
able commercial size, and the trees produce 
exceptionally large crops. The kernel is 
smooth, plump, and light colored, and the 
trees bear while very young. 
Eureka. Ranks second to Placentia as a 
commercial nut. Very large, elongated nuts; 
shell light straw color, very heavy and well 
sealed; cream colored, plump, waxy kernels. 
Brings higher prices than the Placentia, but 
does not bear as young as the latter nor so 
heavily. Hardier than Placentia. 
Payne. A very popular commercial Walnut 
in the central valleys of California because 
of the extremely early and heavy crops borne 
by the young trees and because of its hardi¬ 
ness. Exceptionally high quality. 
Franquette. Owing to its lateness in bloom¬ 
ing, its hardiness and dense foliage, this 
variety stands in high favor in colder sections. 
The nut is large, elongated, smooth, tightly 
sealed. 
Wilson Wonder. Called the "Jumbo Wal¬ 
nut" because of its enormous size, the nuts 
often measuring more than 2 inches in diame¬ 
ter. Bears very young and heavily. Hardy. 
Chestnuts 
The Chestnut does particularly well in Cali¬ 
fornia, producing very heavy crops of nuts 
and making beautiful ornamental shade trees 
with dense, dark green foliage and symmetri¬ 
cal tops. Heavier crops will be secured by 
planting two varieties. 
Marron Combale. If you want the largest 
and finest of all Chestnuts and lots of them, 
this French variety will be your choice. 
Great handsome mahogany-brown nuts of 
the highest quality produced in enormous 
quantities on a very large and magnificent 
tree. See illustration at left. 8-10 ft., $3.00; 
6-8 ft., $2.50; 4-6 ft., $2.00. 
Marron Quercy. A splendid Chestnut with 
fine big dark colored nuts, borne in enorm¬ 
ous quantities even while the tree is very 
young. It is a smaller tree than Marron 
Combale and more adapted to locations 
where the space is limited. 6-8 ft., $2.50; 
4-6 ft., $2.00. 
Eastern Black Walnuts 
Thomas. A selected strain of the Eastern 
Black Walnut with a comparatively thin shell 
which cracks easily; light colored kernels, 
the same old delicious flavor which tastes so 
good in cakes and other confections. It makes 
a beautiful big tree anywhere, bearing heavy 
crops even while young. 10-12 ft., $3.50; 8-10 
ft., $3.00; 6-8 ft., $2.50. 
Stabler. This variety has the largest nut of 
all the selected strains of Eastern Black Wal¬ 
nut. It makes a medium sized tree with thin- 
shelled nuts from which the meats are easily 
removed when cracked. Usually starts to bear 
in the second or the third year after planting. 
6-8 ft., $2.50. 
Filberts 
The Filberts or Hazelnuts grow into large 
bushes and thrive best in the cool, moist sec¬ 
tions of the Pacific Coast. Two varieties must 
be planted together to insure cross-polliniza- 
tion. We have Barcelona (the best variety), 
also Du Chilly and White Aveline. Heavy 
trees, $1.25 each, $11.00 per 10.
