All California Gardens 
Should Have 
CITRUS FRUITS 
In addition to the delicious, healthful fruits they produce, you will 
enjoy the fragrance of their blossoms, and their ornamental value. 
Oranges 
The two leading varieties for California 
are Washington Navel, for eating and 
salads, and Valencia, for juice. 
WASHINGTON NAVEL. The famous 
California seedless orange, the delicious 
large fruits ripening from December to 
April. The skin peels readily, and seg- 
ments separate easily. 
VALENCIA. The leading summer or- 
ange. The juice is rich and flavorful, the 
fruits large and smooth. One of our most 
valuable fruits for home gardens, because 
the fruits, which ripen in May, may be 
left on the tree until winter, using the 
crop as needed. Also, the trees are most 
vigorous, 
RUBY BLOOD ORANGE. We are sure 
you will enjoy this unique variety, which 
has red juice and streaks of red in the 
flesh. The skin has a red blush. The 
flavor of the fruits is distinet and spright- 
ly, fine for juice, or peeling and eating. 
Trees are vigorous and hardy. February 
to June. 
Eustis Limequat 
Very ornamental trees, producing fruits 
almost immediately after planting. Fruits 
are small, oval, and bright yellow, the 
juice very much like that of the lime. 
Trees are hardy, and not damaged by tem- 
peratures as low as 20 degrees. 

Lemons 
EUREKA. The celebrated California 
lemon, and favorite shipping variety. 
Fruits. of medium size, smooth, glossy, 
heavy, juicy and well flavored; keeps well. 
Tree is vigorous, almost thornless, and a 
prolific bearer. In great demand because 
flowers, green and ripe fruit are borne al- 
most the entire year. Especially heavy 
crop in midsummer, when lemons are 
much in demand. Prune only enough to 
keep the tree shapely, as the extra foliage 
protects the fruit from sunburn. 
PONDEROSA. The fruits of this va- 
riety are of amazing size; juice and flavor 
are excellent, especially fine for lemon pie. 
Trees are very ornamental and bear when 
quite small. 
PINK LEMON. This form of the Eureka 
Lemon is extremely interesting, with hand- 
somely variegated leaves and pink flesh 
and juice. The fruits are striped in green, 
yellow and white. 
MEYER LEMON 
This is a Dwarf Chinese Lemon, valu- 
able as an ornamental shrub and _ for 
hedges, or as a small tree or pot plant 
because of the handsome foliage, fragrant 
blossoms and fruits, which are full size, 
beautiful deep golden yellow, and of the 
finest quality. The Meyer Lemon should 
be in every California garden, and may 
be grown in pots where citrus fruit can- 
not be grown out-of-doors. The plants are 
constantly in flower or fruit. 
Balled, bushy plants. 18-24 inches, $2.85; 
2-214 ft., $3.50. 1-gallon containers, 85c. 
Price of all citrus trees, except where noted. 
Vigorous, balled trees, each $2.85 

Delicious Tangerines 
and Mandarins 
These are especially valuable trees for 
home gardens, because they grow readily 
and bear heavy crops of sweet, juicy, 
sprightly flavored fruit, that is not readily 
obtained in markets. 
ALGERIAN. The earliest to ripen, sweet 
and ready to pick from December to March. 
Fruit is of excellent quality, and the tree 
is handsome in appearance. 
DANCY... Fruit is of medium size, sweet, 
with deep orange rind. Ripens from Feb- 
ruary to August and is the standard va- 
riety. 
KING MANDARIN. The Kid-Glove Or- 
ange. This is the largest of the tangerines, 
the fruits equal in size to an average Va- 
lencia orange. They are round, with rough 
skin which peels readily from the sweet 
juicy center segments. 
SATSUMA, The hardiest of all, and 
rather dwarf in habit. The sweet, juicy. 
loose-skinned fruits are ripe before Christ- 
mas. Will thrive in districts where other 
citrus fruits fail. 
Limes 
TAHITI. (Bearss Seedless) A _ favorite 
in the tropics, this lime is the finest 
grown. Fruits are large, lemon colored, 
yielding much more juice than other va- 
rieties. The acid juice and rind have a 
rich lime bouquet, imparting a most de- 
licious flavor to your Collins, Rickey, lime- 
ade or punch. All points considered, it 
excells all limes, and will soon be the most 
popular market variety. 
MEXICAN. This bears extremely heavy 
crops of very acid small greenish fruits. 
Most of the limes used at soda fountains 
and bars are of this variety. 
SWEET LIME. The juice is so sweet 
that you ean drink it without sugar, and 
the large fruits are good to eat out of 
hand. They have characteristic lime flavor. 
Trees are highly ornamental, hardy, and 
bear heavy crops of large yellow fruits. 


Richest in Vitamin C 
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 ornamen- 
tal shrub, with effective foliage of bold 
texture and rich color. 1-gallon con- 
tainers, each $1.00; 5-gallon, $2.50. 

Surinam Cherry 
(EUGENIA UNIFLORA) 
A large ornamental shrub or hedge 
plant, bearing quantities of waxy, eight- 
angled fruits, shining green at first and 
changing to brilliant orange, then to bright 
red. They have an agreeable spicy flavor, 
fine for a salad garnish or for jelly. Fruit- 
ing specimens, 5-gallon containers, $2.50. 
Cherimoya 
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, yel- 
lowish 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 enjoy- 
able 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, budded trees each $4.50.
