PEARS 
Price of Pear trees—$1.85 each. 
Pears, delicious fruits for the table and canning, are not 
always good. performers in mild climates. The two listed here 
are the most satisfactory. Fruits are better if picked just before 
they are ripe and allowed to ripen in a cool dark place. In this 
way they keep the smooth texture of the flesh. 
Bartlett. Well known all over and one of the best for California. 
An especially good home variety with richly flavored flesh that 
literally melts in your mouth. Large fruits ripe about August. 
Beurre d’Anjou. Fine large pear. Ripens in fall. Fruit has yel- 
lowish flesh with a rich and vinous flavor. 
PERSIMMON 
These glorious trees are a sight every fall in California when 
the leaves turn color and the large waxy bright orange colored 
fruits are ripe. The seedless pulp is eaten fresh or made into 
delicious spicy cake or steamed pudding. 
Hachiya. Long the most popular persimmon. The flavor of the 
ripe fruit is sweet, rich and mellow and well worth waiting for 
the ripe stage. Very beautiful with its bright orange-red fruits. 
4-5 ft. $2.75; 5-6 ft. $3.25. 
POMEGRANATE 
Wonderful. The pomegranate is the most ornamental of all fruits 
grown in California. The large bushy shrub has good foliage, 
always attractive with its small narrow yellow-green leaves, and 
bright red flowers all summer. The fruits which follow ornament 
both the shrub and later the table. When cracked open the 
fleshy, garnet-colored sections are a delight to salads and fruit 
cups. Pomegranates seem to do better in the hottest places. 
$1.85 each.

To insure better crops of plums plant a tree of Beauty or 
Wickson to pollenate the other trees in your planting. Plums 
do well here, especially the blood plums, which are the best for 
eating. 
Green Gage. Because this plum is so well known as an eating 
variety we are listing it. However, it is satisfactory only in the 
cooler parts or foothills. The fruits are greenish yellow, medium 
in size, and oval with rich, sweet, juicy flesh. Late August. 
Duarte. Very fine blood plum. Fruits of good size, oval in shape 
and deep purplish-red in color. Flesh sweet and juicy, bright red. 
Ripens a few days before Satsuma in late July. 
Monrovia. An improvement on the famous Satsuma plum. Very 
large blood red plum with delicious deep red flesh richly flavored 
and juicy. Ripens a week later than Satsuma in July. Bears con- 
sistently, and good crops too! Each $2.25. 
Santa Rosa. Large oval purplish-crimson fruits covered with a 
light blue bloom. The amber flesh is veined with crimson. This 
plum is a good pollenizer for other varieties as well as bearing 
a good crop each year itself. Late June. 
Satsuma. One of the most popular blood plums but has to have 
another tree such as Beauty, Santa Rosa or Wickson to fertilize 
its flowers and insure a crop. Fruits large, almost round, deep 
red with firm, juicy, tasty blood-red flesh. July. 
Wickson. Popular large heart-shaped plum. Color a pleasing 
straw yellow with bright red blush. The amber colored flesh is 
juicy and delicious. A good pollenizer for other plums. July.
