PLANT THE MARSH SEEDLESS POMELO 
The tree is a strong grower and highly valued as an ornamental. The leaves 
are large and glossy, in fact many people who do not care for the grape fruit 
to eat plant the tree purely for its ornamental appearance. 
The fruit is large, skin very smooth, beautiful light yellow color when ripe 
and hangs on the tree well. The pulp is juicy and contains very little rag. 
On account of the absence of seeds, the extreme fine flavor, good ship¬ 
ping qualities and productiveness of Marsh’s Seedless, we do not hesitate to 
recommend it to all pomelo or grape-fruit planters. 
QUALITY TREES AND GOOD SERVICE 
[From Dr. Albert H. Kalbfleisch, the Evergreen Farm, Mercedes, Texas.] 
“ft is the desire of the writer to thank you for courteous treatment and 
the good stock of trees that you shipped to him. Such stock would almost 
grow in any kind of climate or soil. There were 900 grapefruit trees in this 
car, of which number the writer lost but two. The balling was of the very 
best and I do not hesitate to say that any person buying trees, selected with 
the same care and planted under similar conditions, should have the same 
percentage of growth.”

and tested in California, the Bearss Seedless has been 
found to be the best of all.

less. The tree is quite hardy, productive, and like the Eureka lemon blooms

can be easily peeled without removing or soiling one’s 
gloves. The tree is a vigorous grower and a good producer. 
The fruit is small, juicy, rich in flavor, and very aromatic. The skin is quite 
red in color and very smooth. Ripens from December to February. 
AVOCADOS 
Ahuacate—Alligator Pear 
This tree is a tropical fruit first in¬ 
troduced into California as early as 
1856. It: is found in its native habitat 
in Mexico, Guatemala and the West 
Indies. The leading varieties which 
produce the commercial fruits and 
selected seedlings which have proven 
to be of value in size and quality (the 
quality being an essential point in 
selection) are budded on seedling 
roots. 
These trees should be planted in 
warm locations which are not subject 
to biting frosts, as the trees are tender 
and new growths are liable to be in¬ 
jured. Fruits vary in size from \ l / 2 to 
6 inches in length and range in color 
from green to purple. The proper 
distance to plant these trees in orchard 
form is 30 feet apart, and the bodies 
should be covered with tree pro¬ 
tectors. 
The fruits are used for salads and 
desserts. When taste is once acquired 
for avocados, people become very fond 
of them. The avocado has the highest 
Avocado food value of any known fruit.
