TD THE TRADE 
FIFTY YEARS AGO this fall the late Wm. T. 
Kirkman, Sr., established our first nursery 
plant in California. 
Our customers, and others who indicate 
they would enjoy it, will receive our Golden 
Jubilee pamphlet a little later. 
Our annual offering to the Trade this sea¬ 
son includes our usual line of all the best 
Commercial Varieties of Pear, Apple, Cherry, 
Prune, etc., on the usual root stocks in Year¬ 
ling grades, and a fine supply of Peach, Al¬ 
mond, Apricot and Plum in both Yearlings 
and June Bud stock—totalling about 300,000 
trees. 
Our phyloxera free Grape Nursery location 
in Madera County enables shipment every¬ 
where without disinfecting. This season's 
planting is about 800,000 cuttings.

Nematode resistant seedling of wild peach species, five months 
after planting seed—August 1, 1938, showing Foreman Sidney Hunt— 
twenty-two years of employment with Kirkman Nurseries. 
Mr. Hunt is standing between two rows of P.I. No, 36485 (Shalil). 
Next row to left is Yunnan, P.I. No. 55885. and on extreme left, Bokhara. 
On the extreme right are Lovell seedlings, June budded in May. 
These nematode resistant seedlings shown are high budded—four 
dormant buds each, for permanent bracket branches, and will be used 
in orchard planting in January, 1939. The seedlings will of course be 
cut back to the highest of the dormant buds—about sixteen inches 
above the ground.
