Drake’* Seedling. Regular and abundant 
bearer; soft shell. Of the Languedoc class; 
bears abundantly where that variety is a 
total failure. 
Eureka (new). Kernel similar to the famous 
Jordan. However, it is smaller in size and 
of the papershell variety. Commands very 
highest prices on the market. Prolific bear¬ 
er. In full bloom in March. 
Harriot’* Seedling*, or Commercial. One of 
the largest of the soft shells, with a sweet 
kernel. 
I. X. l.. Sturdy, upright grower; nut large; 
soft shell; bears heavily and regularly. 
Highly recommended by all orchardists who 
have tried it. 
Jordan. The famous Spanish variety so long 
sought after by nut-growers. Nuts are long, 
with hard shells; the kernels are superior 
in flavor; long and plump and filling the 
entire cavity. A strong thrifty grower and 
heavy bearer, and will probably do much 
to give Almond growing in California a 
strong impetus.

shell; hulls free. Tree a rapid grower and 
regular, heavy bearer.

Seedling. Kernel very plump and of me¬ 
dium size, shell soft, hulls very easily.

CM KSTXVTS 
Every family orchard should include a 
chestnut tree; the tree is ornamental in 
addition to its nut bearing.

WALNUTS 
The growing of what is commonly known 
as the English Walnut has now attained 
large proportions in California; in fact the 
Walnut is the most important of the nut 
fruits grown here. It is peculiarly adapted 
to the conditions of climate and deep al¬ 
luvial soils of our coast, valleys where 
either surface or sub-irrigation is possible. 
Under these conditions it is of easy culture. 
The crop is not expensive to gather and 
market and is one of the most profitable. 
For commercial planting the trees are 
placed 4 0 or 5 0 feet apart, allowing room 
for the wide spreading top.

California.

kernels white, full and sweet. 
PECANS 
Seedling Pecan*. We can supply Seedling Pe¬ 
cans grown from selected seed, in quanti¬ 
ties. These can be grafted over later onto 
the newer sorts; however, many planters 
prefer Seedling Pecans to the grafted sorts 
owing to the extreme hardiness of the 
former.
