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.

ribbed yellow fruit blushed pink. Highly 
prized for cooking. October. 60c.

blushed red. Crisp and tender. Unexcelled

well adapted to all parts of California and 
quite satisfactory for home use.

size fruit of good color and fine quality.
