particularly adapted to gardens and lawns;

round, smooth shell; kernel sweet and well 
filled, and of the very best quality. 
Eureka. The trees are upright, vigorous 
growers, with clean branches and open 
growth; bark slightly rough and not sub¬ 
ject to sunburn; the most resistant to blight 
kgown at present, and one of the best pro¬ 
ducers; specially desirable in localities hav¬ 
ing late frosts, being a late bloomer and 
ripening about ten days later than the aver¬ 
age; nuts large, soft shell, elongated, smooth 
and tightly sealed.

ket than any other Walnut. Nut large, elon¬ 
gated, oval and very attractive in form; 
kernel full, sweet, with a very rich nutty 
flavor. Blooms late in spring.

Citrus and T 
ORANGE AND LEMON 
Little need be said here of the citrus 
industry of California. Usually the planter 
of citrus trees is familiar with local pre¬ 
vailing conditions and has a comprehen¬ 
sive knowledge of his needs. However, a 
few suggestions will be of service to in¬ 
tending planters. We advise a greater 
planting of the Pomelo or Grape Fruit 
along our foothill sections. Fruit equal 
to the best grown in Florida can be pro¬ 
duced in our "dry bog*’ soils; the same 
criticism applies to the Valencia Late va¬ 
riety of orange tree. Trees of both should 
be budded on the Florida sour seedling 
stock. The lemon requires a looser soil 
Pracpartiirien. Flowers hut*- and bears young 
and regularly; not affected by frosts. 
The Willson Wonder Walnut. This Walnut is 
the largest commercial nut of the Walnut 
family grown. Trees of this variety two 
years old grafted on California Black Wal¬ 
nuts, produce under proper conditions from 
S to 3<; nuts to the tree. As a money maker 
there is nothing in the tree line, especially 
of the nut family, that will bring such early 
returns. The tree produces its nuts in clus¬ 
ters and the foliage is very large and dense, 
affording shade and preventing sunburning 
so common among other varieties of Wal¬ 
nuts. The tree is a strong grower. The nut 
in addition to its large size Is of the very 
best quality and experts have pronounced 
it the King of all Walnuts. 
W ill.sun’s Wonder W alnut 
Nut Trees of all kinds make excellent 
Border and Avenue Trees. It is far better 
to embellish your vacant spots, borders 
and avenues with trees that produce a crop 
rather than trees of a purely ornamental 
nature. The Nut Family of Trees are ad¬ 
mirably adapted for this purpose, increas¬ 
ing your income over and above your reg¬ 
ular returns from your crop proper. 
ropical Fruits 
and should be planted only in sections 
practically frostless. The Washington 
Navel orange is more universally planted; 
the early ripening of this fruit renders it 
less susceptible to damage from frost than 
some of the other types. We offer the 
following varieties, all being of our own 
growing and propagation from buds taken 
from old and reliable bearing trees. 
ORANGES 
Golden \ugget \nvel. (New.) Oblong; good 
size: deliciously sweet; seedless. Novem¬ 
ber to March.

low fruit about the size of a gooseberry.
