FUERTE AVOCADO—Covers a long season, November to May. 
SUB-TROPICAL FRUITS 
AVOCADO 
Avocados may be planted throughout the year, however 
the months from February through June are generally prefer- 
able. 
The lower two-thirds of each tree trunk should be wrapped 
with a 2-inch-wide strip of burlap immediately after planting, 
to protect it from the sun. 
Plant trees to the depth of the ball. Space trees from 20 to 
25 feet apart. 
Each, $6.75. 
Duke. To fill the interim between summer and winter avo- 
cados the Duke is one of the most satisfactory. Green pear- 
shaped fruit of outstanding flavor and quality is borne abun- 
dantly through September and October, The tree is large, 
heavily foliaged and well worth growing for its shade and 
ornamental qualities alone. Frost hardy. 
Fuerte. A tried and true variety through many years. 
Bears heavy crops of large, pear-shaped green fruit that is 
“tops” in flavor and quality. Probably nine-tenths of the 
date winter and spring avocados you buy in the market 
are of this variety. The tree is wide spreading and provides 
a maximum of dense, welcome shade. Hardy to frost. No- 
vember to May. 
Jalna. <A green fruit of average size that matures its 
fruit through November and December. Hardy. 
Middleton. An upright growing tree that comes into 
production when quite young and bears heavy crops of 
medium sized green fruit that will remain on the tree long 
after maturity, Contains more oil than most. varieties. 
October to January. Quite hardy. 
Puebla. Considered by us one of the finest home varie- 
ties. Occasionally during a lengthy cold spell the fruit 
deteriorates. At all other times the small tree bears heavy 
crops of large dark pear-shaped fruit, that in our estima- 
tion is superior in flavor to any other avocado. We have 
two heavy bearing trees. We wouldn't trade them for a 
ranch—not even.a monkey ranch. Hardy to frost. Novem- 
ber to January. 
Rockwood. A tree upright in growth and character. 
Biack, pear-shaped fruit to seven inches in length is ex- 
ceptionally rich in oil content and of rich flavor. Small 
seed. Produces excellent crops when quite young. It’s a 
good one! Hardy to frost. January to June. 
Ryan. We've had many folks ask for a summer Fuerte. 
At first we didn’t understand, but now we get it. The 
Ryan is quite similar in appearance to the Fuerte in form, 
color, and size. Along in May about the time the Fuerte 
is off the market, the Ryan matures and may be picked 
from then until October. The thrifty, spreading tree pro- 
duces heavy crops year after year with consistent regularity. 
FEIJOA 
Pineapple Guava. Coolidge variety. Bears large crops 
of refreshing rich-flavored fruit that is highly desirable for 
preserving or eating out of hand. A single plant will bear sat- 
isfactorily. Forms a shrub of outstanding ornamental value 
in both foliage and bloom. Balled, 2-2%4 ft., $4.00; 114-2 ft., 
$3.00; 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
GUAVA 
Lemon Guava. We can’t say we are particularly intrigued 
by their flavor—although many people seem to enjoy them— 
but we do admire their huge fruits, lush foliage and the in- 
tense red and gold of their autumn leaves. Rather tender to 
frost. 8-ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Red Strawberry Guava. The lazy man’s fruit—just pick 
‘em, wash ’em and eat ’em, or if you’re particularly lazy, just 
pick ’em and eat ’em. Each round dark-red fruit is packed 
full of sweet tangy goodness. It is our opinion they are far 
more tasty than strawberries. And do not forget the orna- 
mental value of their big polished leaves. Grow to 6 or 8 
feet. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 75c. 
Yellow Strawberry Guava. Identical to the foregoing va- 
riety except that the fruit is yellow and a trifle larger. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 75c. 
OLIVE 
Mission. Ever eat home-cured olives? If so, you know 
how superior they are to those that are processed and canned 
commercially, This variety is valuable for oil, too, and we 
all are aware of the ornamental possibilities of the gray- 
green foliaged trees. Balled, heavy tops, 6-7 ft., $6.00; 5-6 ft., 
$4.75; 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. Bush 
type balled, 9-10 ft., $22.50.

PASSION FRUIT 
Passiflora edulis. Bears big crops of delicious purple fruit 
about the size and shape of an egg. Inside a thin tough rind 
is enclosed a rich fruity pulp that is as tasty and flavorful as 
well-seasoned custard. Its large highly polished leaves and 
unique flowers provide an excellent cover for fence or pergola. 
Fairly hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
QUEENSLAND NUT 
Macadamia ternifolia. Dark shiny toothed leaves borne in 
whorls around sturdy branches form a dense round-headed 
tree of genuine character and unusual beauty. Edible nuts 
about 1 inch in diameter and of rich flavor add to its value. 
Hardy except in very cold locations. 35 ft. 5-gal. containers, 
$5.00. 
ROSE APPLE 
Syzygium (Eugenia) jambos. Not only does the dense 
leathery green and bronze foliage present a neat cool appear- 
ance in the garden but the large white, flushed pink, fruit 
makes excellent rose scented jelly. Large fluffy white flow- 
ers, too. Semi-hardy. Sun. 8-9 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; 
gal. containers, $1.25.
