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 
International Exposition in 1916. 
All our Fruit Trees are grown on whole Seedling roots. The advantage of this in promoting the health and thrifti¬ 
ness of trees over others grafted on pieces or sections of roots, or budded on stocks grown from cuttings, is acknowl¬ 
edged 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 arc 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.
