LEONARD COATES TREES ARE BACKED BY OVER HALF A CENTURY OF SATISFACTION 
FRUIT 
TREES 
For 59 years COATES “Super-Quality” fruit trees have been planted in Orchards 
that are today considered the finest producing on the Coast. 
Our principle has always been to grow the very BEST fruit trees. Extra labor, 
time, and material have not been spared in an effort to produce a product that we 
could always feel proud to offer to the planting public. We still religiously hold 
to that principle today and that is why we offer you “Super-Quality” fruit trees; 
we feel we have something more than “Price”. 
DO NOT LET YOUR CONFIDENCE BE FOR SALE TO THE CHEAPEST 
BIDDER. 
Why do we grow our fruit tree stock near Brentwood, in Contra Costa County? 
This is for your protection, because here is a section free from Peach Root Borer, 
and many other pests, and the climatic, soil and water conditions produce a vigorous 
root system that is essential to insure clean, healthy, well developed fruit trees. 
We offer you a large selection of varieties to choose from and by careful selection 
you can keep well supplied with fresh fruit for a large part of the year—an ideal 
arrangement for the Family Orchard.
