Certificate of Award granted to California Nursery Co. by Department ol 
Agriculture. Republic of Mexico, on exhibit of "Roeding's Quality" 
Fruit Trees at Annual Agricultural Exposition. 
In ever-increasing number, customers 
overseas and in Latin America look to 
our nursery organization for every gar¬ 
den, orchard and vineyard requirement. 
The resulting business requires the at¬ 
tention of experienced nurserymen well 
acquainted with the soil and climate 
conditions existing in various countries, 
who understand how to properly pack 
nursery products for distant shipments, 
who are experienced in routing and 
clearing this perishable merchandise 
through to the customer in first class 
condition. This is the work of our Ex¬ 
port Department, located at our Main 
Office in Niles, California. 
Each year, as the growing season in 
our fields draws to a close, the sturdy 
young trees and plants are assembled 
here. When your order reaches our Ex¬ 
port Department the material you desire 
is selected from this stock, is carefully 
packed in strong cases, with just the 
right amount of damp moss or other 
suitable packing material to insure its 
delivery to you in excellent shape for 
planting. 
Our location at Niles facilitates rapid 
transport of shipments to distant points. 
The ports of San Francisco and Oak¬ 
land are but a short distance away. Two 
great continental rail lines pass our 
door. By air, rail or water your order 
shipped from Niles is soon on its way 
by a fast direct route. 
Many years ago the founder of this 
business traveled abroad extensively, 
giving careful study to the problems of 
fruit culture in other parts of the world. 
Since that time, other representatives 
of our nursery have made frequent trips 
outside the United States for the same 
purpose. As this is written, Mr. George 
C. Roeding Jr., President, has just re¬ 
turned from a journey into Mexico, 
noting varieties best suited to conditions 
there. 
Above all, the high standards set for 
products bearing our hallmark—“Roed¬ 
ing's Quality”—added to this broad ex¬ 
perience gained through travel and 
study combine to offer customers lo¬ 
cated in other countries a complete, 
well-rounded, service. As evidence in 
support of this statement, we quote in 
part from a few of the many unsolicited 
letters customers have sent us:— 
MEXICO— "I am glad to say your 
stock arrived in perfect condition. All 
the fruit trees are in full leaf and the 
raspberry canes in flower. I do feel that 
for the short time they have been 
planted, this speaks more than well for 
the quality.” 
PALESTINE—' ‘You will be inter¬ 
ested to know that although the ship¬ 
ment did not reach us until April 4 
(shipped from San Francisco Jan. 29) 
the plants arrived in excellent condi¬ 
tion.” 
COSTA RICA— ‘‘May I thank you 
for the parcel of fruit trees which I 
received in perfect condition. All the 
trees already have large buds, and roots 
were as fresh as the day they were dug.” 
Our shipping season at Niles usually 
starts about January 15 and continues 
to March 15 each year. Because so many 
orders are received throughout the year 
for shipment during this brief period 
it is necessary for us to make actual 
reservations of stock for export orders. 
For this reason we urge our friends in 
foreign countries to place definite orders 
as soon as selections have been made 
from this new catalog, as delayed orders 
may find our supply of some varieties 
exhausted. 
Seagoing Fruit Trees! One of our trucks loaded with Export 
Shipments on the docks of San Francisco.
