FRUIT DEPARTMENT 
Our Nursery Stock is the best that can be grown or money can buy, as evidenced by the 
First Prize given our exhibit of trees and plants in competition with all at the California State 
Fair, both in 1912 and 1913. Our exhibit of Fruits, Nuts, etc., also took nine first prizes and 
two gold medals in 1912, thirteen first prizes and two gold medals in 1913, forty first prizes and 
gold medal in 1914, and the grand prize for Fruits and Nuts at the Panama-California Interna¬ 
tional Exposition in 1916. 
All our Fruit Trees are grown on whole Seedling roots. The advantage of this in promoting 
the health and thriftiness of trees over others grafted on pieces or sections of roots, or budded 
on stocks grown from cuttings, is acknowledged by the best authorities, and is easily apparent to 
the most casual observer. All two-year-old trees are branched low and are stocky, having been 
cut down or headed back when yearlings, two feet above ground, except where noted. 
All of our Apple Trees and Grape Vines are fumigated with hydrocyanic gas when dug; so 
are the buds, cions, and cuttings, prior to budding, grafting, or planting out in Nursery. This 
positively kills any insects that may be thereon, without injury to trees or vines. We have a 
Fumigating House, with three compartments, so that we can disinfect, at any time, either 50 
trees or 10,000. 
Although we quote fruit trees by height, it is to be understood that we will include in each 
grade any trees which are as stocky as the average of that grade, even if they do not fully 
attain the specified height.
