Guavas 
Guavas serve a dual purpose in the gar- 
den. They are shrubs possessing exception- 
al beauty of form, color of foliage, flowers 
and the fruits make delicious jellies of ex- 
otic flavor.

ducing the largest fruits, often 2¥Y2 inches 
across. Clear yellow. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50.

growth and bright red fruits about an inch 
across make an attractive hedge either 
sheared or growing at will. Makes a deli- 
cious bright red jelly. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Yellow Strawberry. Good sweet yellow 
fruits similar to the Red Strawberry. Prolific.

mens are attractive. Fruits flavored of pine- 
apple. Grey-green foliage is attractive in 
the background. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.40.

The Best Olive 
Manzanillo. This has been selected from 
a long list of olives as the best all-around 
olive. Picturesque habit of growth, and grey- 
green foliage have long been recognized.

smaller places. This is the best pickling 
variety. Early ripening. Give water and 
care until established. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $2.00; 
tubs, $5.00.

tent. Comes into bearing 2 to 3 years ahead

Deciduous Fruits and Nuts 
Many trees grown generally for the fruits they give our table are equally beautiful in the 
garden, for the bloom is often comparable to that of purely ornamental varieties. Peaches, 
cherries, apples, quinces, apricots, and pomegranates are useful for their flowers; persim- 
mons for their large showy fruits. They can be used any place a flowering tree is used; 
as backgrounds, sometimes with branches hanging over a wall, or in groves where they 
will not only beautify your garden with flowers and picturesque habit but will provide 
delicious fruits as well. 
Almonds 
Distinctly a California product, they are a 
good investment in frost free localities, 
where dry summer heat prevails. All vari- 
eties must be cross-pollenated in order to 
bear a good crop. We suggest planting a 
Drake to pollenate Nonpareil or Ne Plus 
Ultra. 
Drake. Medium size nut, fairly soft shell 
enclosing a plump kernel of good flavor. 
One of best pollenizers. 60c. 
Nonpareil. The leading commercial alm- 
ond. Medium size, paper-thin shell. Kernels 
of high quality, long, plump and sweet. 60c. 
Ne Plus Ultra. Popular variety, heavy 
crops of large, soft shelled nuts. Good pol- 
lenizer for Nonpareil. 60c. 
I. X. L. Beautiful large nuts, soft shell, 
sweet kernels. Shy bearing in some sec- 
tions. 60c. 
Apples 
Because the warm climate of Southern 
California is not congenial to the late red 
winter apples we list only the two best yel- 
low varieties, which are dependable. 
Winter Banana. Shapely fruit, large, pale 
yellow with red blush. Crisp and tender. 
Quick bearer, excellent along coast. 60c. 
Yellow Bellflower. Large, oblong and 
tibbed yellow fruit blushed pink. Highly 
prized for cooking. October. 60c. 
Crabapple 
Transcendent. Large golden yellow fruits 
blushed red. Crisp and tender. Unexcelled 
for jellies. August. 60c. 
Apricots 
An early ripening fruit of easy culture, 
well adapted to all parts of California and 
quite satisfactory for home use. 
Newcastle. The earliest variety. Medium 
size fruit of good color and fine quality. 
May-early June. 60c. 
Blenheim. Large, attractive, well-formed 
fruits are delicious. A steady producer. One 
of the leading varieties in California. June. 
60c. 
Royal. Similar to the Blenheim. Fruits 
with a rich, sweet deep orange flesh. Heavy 
bearer. Excellent for home use. Early June. 
60c. 
Moorpark. Extra large, round, deep apri- 
cot, unexcelled for eating fresh. One of the 
best flavored and most delicious of all. Best 
along the coast. July. 60c.
