FRUIT TREES —-Plant your trees and 
vines as soon after receiving them as 
possible. Do NOT allow the roots to dry 
out. Dig the hole large enough to take 
the roots without crowding them. Set the 
tree and fill in enough to hold the tree 
upright, then put on enough water to 
settle the soil about the roots; when it is 
soaked up, fill up the hole, make a basin 
about the tree and water every 10 days 
or two weeks. Prune the tree back to a 
single stem 20 to 36 inches. 
When setting out balled trees do not 
remove the burlap, as to remove it may 
crack the ball dirt around the roots and 
injure them. Set the tree in the hole and 
fill in almost two-thirds of the soil, then 
cut the top string of the burlap ana 
throw in the remainder of the soil. Make 
a shallow basin around the tree which 
fill with water to settle the earth around 
the roots. Use no fertilizer at time of 
planting, this may be applied after the 
tree gets established and is growing.

iety which thrives well in the higher

Olives 
The following are the best varieties 
for picking. Possibly one of their most 
important features is their beauty as an 
ornamental tree; the longest lived tree 
we have, they will stand extremes of 
heat, cold, drought, and alkali. They also 
can be pruned into formal shapes and 
kept to dwarf size. 
MISSION —The variety Introduced into 
California by the Spanish Padres. Plant¬ 
ed more than any other variety. Jet- 
black fruit, medium in size and very 
firm. The tree makes a solid dense shade, 
and is rather round in shape. Balled or 
established trees. % inch-% inch caliper. 
Each $2.00. 
MANZANILLO —One of the best pickling 
varieties, slightly larger than Mission 
and ripening a little earlier, but being 
somewhat softer and should be handled 
carefully. The tree is more open and pic¬ 
turesque in appearance and is a good 
variety for landscape use. Balled trees.

Dates 
There are so many varieties of good 
dates that we will not attempt to list 
them all, but just a few of the better 
home-use varieties. We have selected 
these with the following in mind; Easy 
pollination, early ripening, rain-resist¬ 
ant qualities, easy dehydration and pro¬ 
cessing, and good bearing varieties as 
well as good flavor. Heavy-well rooted 
offshoots, $7.50 ea-ch. Bearing size Palms. 
$25.00 up. 
KHADRAWI —A light colored Date, very 
sweet and juicy and an early ripener. 
Best home-use Date. 
KASTA'WT —Slightly larger than Khad- 
rawi and a much faster growing tree. 
These two varieties are the leading 
dates of commercial packing along with 
Deglet Noor which does not do too well 
in all parts of the Valley. 
HYANY —A very fine flavored large dark 
colored date, probably one of the best of 
its class, being unusually sweet. Slightly 
bothered by rain and should be covered 
with hoods if fall rains come when it is 
ripening.
