PERUVIAN PINK GUAVA—See page 59. 
NEW GUAVA PERUVIAN PINK 
(Psidium guajava, variety Peruvian Pink) 
This new variety bears wonderful crops of 
fruit, the finest quality of any of the tropical 
Guavas we have tried in California. The fruits 
are very large, yellow when ripe, with bright 
rose-pink flesh. It is a delicious fresh fruit, 
and unexcelled for jellies. 
Of great value, too, as an ornamental shrub, 
with effective foliage of bold texture and rich 
98 1-gallon containers, each 75¢; 5-gallons, 
Cherimoya 
(ANONA CHERIMOLA) 
One of the most delicious of subtropical fruits. 
The budded varieties bear quite regularly and are 
very ornamental trees. Fruit is from 2 to 4 inches 
through, yellowish green in color when ripe, and is 
filled with delicious custard-like flesh with a 
flavor somewhat like a combination of pineapple 
and banana. It is most enjoyable when served 
chilled. Cherimoyas should be in every garden 
where there is comparative freedom from frost. 
We have the Whaley, a very large fruit, and 
several other budded varieties selected for their 
outstanding bearing qualities in the localities 
where they originated. 
Heavy caliper, two-year budded trees with well 
formed tops, each $3.50. 
White Sapota 
(CASIMIROA EDULIS) 
A handsome large spreading tree well adapted 
to our climate. The better budded types which we 
have, bear large quantities of greenish yellow 
fruits,-about the size of an orange, and contain 
a delicious custard-like pulp with the flavor of a 
combination of banana and peach. 
SOUBELLE. A favorite in San Diego County, and 
exceptionally fine flavored, without a trace of 
bitterness found in some varieties. Each $4.00. 
Passion Fruit 
(PASSIFLORA EDULIS) 
Passion Fruit, or Granadilla, is now grown com- 
mercially quite extensively in Southern California. 
Fruits are round or oval, deep purple, with a hard 
shell surrounding the delicious pulp, which is eaten 
fresh or used as flavoring in sherbets, salads, 
drinks, etc. The vines bear heavily, and the 
flowers are among the most interesting of all 
semi-tropical blossoms. 1-gallon containers, each 
60c; 5-gallon, fruiting size, each $1.75.

Figures after name of variety indicate broadly the district to which each variety 
is best suited. 
ANAHEIM. 1 and 2. Particularly valuable com- 
mercially and for home garden, because it never 
fails to bear heavy crops of oval, glossy green, 
thick-skinned fruit, weighing 18 to 24 ounces. 
Tree rather slender. May to July. 
BENIK. 1 and 2. Medium sized, pear-shaped, 
deep maroon fruit of highest quality. Especially 
recommended for home use in coastal areas, 
where it always bears regularly. May to August. 
DICKINSON. 1. 
rough black skin. 
April to September. 
EDRANOL. | and 2. Fast becoming the favor- 
ite for summer fruits, because of its extremely 
high quality and delicious flavor. Medium size, 
pear shaped, green fruits have very small seed. 
Resembles Fuerte, but ripens from May to August. 
HELLEN. 1 and 2. Fruits resemble the finest 
Fuertes, and are ripe from August to October. 
The trees are exceptionally ornamental, vigorous, 
and bear regular crops. 
Medium sized, oval fruits with 
High quality, regular bearer. 
1—Coastal Belt; 2—Transitional or Foothill; 3—Interior. 
FUERTE. 2. The leading California variety; 
there is not a finer fruit. Medium to large size 
pear-shaped green fruit, with leathery skin. The 
flesh is richly flavored, seed small. Ripens from 
late fall until spring; the later the fruits are 
picked, the richer in oil they will be. Has a tend- 
ency to bear heavy crops in alternate years, and 
is not suited to districts very near the coast, or 
inland. Hardier than most. We have the Cole 
strain, and a strain selected for good bearing 
habit. December to May. 
NABAL. 1 and 2. A leading summer ripening 
variety. The green, leathery skinned fruits are 
very large and of the very finest quality. Bears 
enormous quantities. Should be planted wherever 
winters are mild. June to September. 
RYAN. 2. Called the ‘Summer Fuerte’, it is 
one of the heaviest bearers, making it one of the 
best commercial varieties. Fruit is of good quality, 
medium size, pear-shaped, with green skin. May 
to October. 
Hardy, Thin Skinned Avocados 
Valuable for home use and local market, especially in interior districts, because they 
stand more cold than others. 
BENEDICT. 3. This and Duke will probably stand 
the most frost of all. Fruits small, pear-shaped, 
black, of fine quality. September and October. 
DUKE. 2 and 3. Oval, green, larger than most 
thin-skinned types. Rich flavor. Trees very vig- 
orous. September to November. 
GANTER. 2 and 3. Green, medium sized, good 
quality and flavor. Trees large and spreading, 
bearing heavy crops. October to December. 
LEUCADIA. 2 and 3. For ornament alone, this 
is an outstanding tree, foliage deep green, glossy 
and large. Trees beautifully formed. Fruits of 
high quality, smooth, purplish black. October to 
December. 
PUEBLA. 2. Popular maroon colored variety, 
ripening just before Fuerte, November and De- 
cember. Larger than most thin skinned fruits, of 
rich flavor. 

Henry’s Select 
(Patented) 
The most valuable of Fall ripening sorts. 
Henry’s Select is the most promising variety 
for commercial planting or home garden, of 
all the newer varieties that ripen during a 
season when Fuerte is not available. The 
fruits are of extremely high quality, with 
smooth, buttery flesh that does not dis- 
color after cutting, and keep better than 
any of the thin-skinned sorts; 8 to 14 
ounces. Trees thrifty and hardy, and bear 
the second year after planting. Deep pur- 
ple-maroon fruits of beautiful appearance, 
with small seed. 
Price of Henry’s Select: 4 to 6 foot trees, 
each $3.50; 6 to 7 foot trees, each $4.00.
