HIGHLY SUITED TO CALIFORNIA CLIMATES

Franquette (reduced) 
We believe it safe to say that there has been more Franquette walnuts har¬ 
vested and sold in the state of California than any other variety, and it al¬ 
ways commands the highest market price. We feel justified in highly recom¬ 
mending the Franquette to all intending growers of walnuts, as one of the 
very best varieties. 
There are different types of the Franquette and in planting an orchard one 
should be careful to purchase trees from a nursery who has secured buds or 
grafts from the best strain. Blooms late. 
Mavette The Mayette is of French origin and is one of the leading varieties 
* of walnuts having many of the good qualities to be found in the 
Franquette. 
The tree blooms late in the spring and is a very heavy bearer. The nuts 
are large, uniform and inclined to be flattened at the base. The shell is of a 
light color, soft, and contains a plump kernel of very fine flavor. 
While not as extensively planted as the Franquette, we believe, the Mayette 
is almost equal to that variety; the nuts always commanding the highest 
market price. 
For pollination purposes it is advisable to plant it with the Franquette as 
both trees will then bear more abundantly than if planted alone. 
Mavette Rouge This sort has not been extensively planted in this coun- 
* ® try. It is a very good variety and is practically identical 
with the Mayette. The only noticeable difference being that when the husk 
is off the shell is of a more reddish appearance. 
The habits of the tree, the blooming period and the commercial value are 
practically the same as that of the Mayette. 
Parisienne Originated in the southeast part of France and was named after 
the capital of that country, on account of its exceptional beauty. 
The nut is very large and in shape is somewhat broader at the small end 
than the Mayette or Franquette. It bears a full kernel of high flavor and is 
one of the best for dessert purposes. The tree is very beautiful, bears when 
quite young and very regularly. 
It has not been extensively planted in California but where planted has met 
with good results both as a commercial and ornamental variety. 
Placentia Perfection Originated in Southern California, on the ranch of 
Mr. J. B. Neff, Anaheim, and is supposed to be a 
selected variety of Santa Barbara Soft Shell. 
The tree is a strong grower and a good bearer and is highly esteemed by 
walnut growers in the southern portion of the state. The nut is of large size, 
with a smooth thin shell, the kernel is white and sweet, and in flavor is equal 
if not superior to any of the other varieties. 
Placentia Perfection often brings from two to three cents per pound more 
in the market than other varieties, consequently is highly regarded for com¬ 
mercial purposes.
