How Roeding's Quality Trees Are Graded 
In accordance with the recently enacted state laws govern¬ 
ing grades and standards of nursery stock, our trees are 
graded by caliper rather than by height. This insures the 
fruit grower a uniform planting when the trees are cut back 
and set in his new orchard. Caliper grades and correspond¬ 
ing relative heights are shown in this catalog in each price 
classification. Each tree or each bundle of trees shipped by 
the California Nursery bears a label clearly stating the 
grade and variety.
