Deciduous Fruit Trees 
While many nurserymen list all varieties 
of each kind of Fruit Trees, we offer only 
those tried and true kinds that will prove 
the best. Ours are all selected stock, care¬ 
fully propagated, true to name, and in 
every respect can be depended on. 
APPLES 
The apple will thrive in most parts of 
California and in many localities yield a 
really superior product. In choosing va¬ 
rieties for any given locality the purchaser 
should be governed by observations on lo¬ 
cal conditions and varieties doing best in 
the locality. Trees as a rule should be 
headed low in order to shade the trunk of 
the tree from the sun. No home orchard 
is complete without a few well selected 
apple trees.
