Globe Artichoke. This is the artichoke 
of commerce. We supply strong, young 
suckers capable of producing a good 
crop of buds the summer following 
planting. The young plants should be 
set out about three feet apart each way 
in loose, fertile soil. Provide regular 
irrigation and clean cultivation. Care 
should be taken in cultivating that none 
of the soil lodge in the crown of the 
growing plants, as this will lead to suf¬ 
focation of those parts of the plant 
from which the young stems arise. The 
artichoke is a perennial enjoying the 
mild winters in most sections of Cali¬ 
fornia and is capable of producing three 
or four seasons. 
Crimson Winter Rhubarb. This is a vig¬ 
orous growing variety producing large, 
succulent stalks throughout the winter. 
As the production of the large, fleshy 
leaf stems depends upon the plant-food 
stored in the roots, careful attention to 
its culture will reward the home gar¬ 
dener with an abundance of stalks. Cul¬ 
tivate and irrigate regularly and pro¬ 
vide an application of fertilizer at least 
once each season. 
ASPARAGUS 
White asparagus is produced by ridg¬ 
ing the soil above the plants so the 
shoots will be kept below ground. Plant 
the crowns in rows about six feet apart 
with the plants 24 inches apart in the 
row. They should be set from eight 
to ten inches deep. They are first cov¬ 
ered with only two or three inches of 
soil and more soil is gradually added as 
the shoots begin to grow. Do not cut the 
shoots the first year.

3 VARIETIES ON ONE TREE 
• The home owner who has very limited space at his command can now 
have home grown fruits of different varieties without crowding his 
trees. To meet the demands of planters who wish a succession of fruits 
but who have room for only a few trees we propagate three varieties on 
one tree. Three of these triple-budded trees in the back yard will provide a 
succession of nine different varieties. These trees will also give pleasure 
during the blooming season with their varying flowers. 
The triple-budded peach carries the Hales Early, a variety ripening in 
early July, bearing white-fie shed, attractive fruit of excellent flavor and 
aroma; the Elberta, the best known freestone peach in America, ripening 
in late July; and the Late Crawford, an August peach of good sise and 
fine quality. 
The triple-budded nectarine supplies the Gold Mine, an early variety 
ripening in early July with white flesh contained in a large, attractive 
fruit of delicious flavor; the Stanwick, California’s widely known all¬ 
purpose variety ripening in early August, also white fleshed and free¬ 
stone; and the Victoria, a white fleshed freestone with deep red skin, of 
good sise and ripening in late August. 
The triple-budded plum provides Climax, the popular red skinned early 
variety ripening in mid-June, with juicy, rich flesh of excellent flavor; 
the Leib’s Blood Red, an early July sort zvith large, beautiful dark red 
fruit and blood-red flesh of fine texture and delicious flavor that parts 
readily from the pit; and Kelsey Japan, the popular August-ripening va¬ 
riety with greenish-yellow skin, an attractive red blush, and firm, juicy 
flesh.
