Rosedale’s Avocados and Subtropicals 
The home fruit garden in Southern California is not complete wi 
desirable “different” fruits. Everyone knows the avocado for its pop ; 
enjoy such rare treats as Custard Apple and Sapote is 
trees, quite adaptable to the home landscape pan, 
recent years, but about the only way you can 
to grow them at home. All of these are evergreen 
thout some of these highly 
ularity has spread rapidly in 
useful for their foliage, small stature and shape for many ornamental purposes. 
The fruits of all subtropicals cannot be picked and eaten at once. 
and stored a few days in a cool, dark place, prefera 
chill in the refrigerator and serve. 
AVOCADOS 
The rise in popularity of Avocados, from a rare delicacy 
to a common every-day item of food is remarkable. Plant one 
or more trees in your garden—enjoy their cool deep shade 
and select them for their ripening season so as to extend the 
time you will be furnished with their fruits. We give the 
approximate ripening period for all varieties. 
Duke. A fine quality thin-skinned Avocado. It has quantities 
of deep green fruit, resembling small Fuertes, but larger than 
most thin-skins, during September and October. The tree is 
large and vigorous, bearing very large crops. Duke is quite 
hardy and enjoy wide popularity over a considerable area of 
California. $5.75 each. 
Edrano!l. An excellent variety—exceptionally delicious, pleas- 
ingly flavored fruit. Medium size pear-shaped and dark green 
with a thick skin enclosing the smooth buttery flesh. This is 
a tall narrow-growing tree, best along the coastal area, yet 
hardier than most thick-skinned kinds. May to August ripen- 
ing. $5.75 each. 
Fuerte. A large spreading evergreen tree of considerable orna- 
mental quality, but the fruits have become the standard by 
which Avocados are judged. Long pear-shaped fruits with 
a smooth, leathery green thin skin and delicious buttery 
flesh, creamy-yellow when ripe, has few equals for quality. 
Ripens from December to May. Each $5.75. 
MacPherson. (Pat. 433.) Like Fuerte in appearance, the 
medium to large green pear-shaped fruits are thin-skinned. 
Salads made with MacPherson Avocados are lovely indeed for 
the fruit has a reputation for its delicious yellow buttery 
flesh. Each $6.75. 
Ryan. Large spreading tree bearing heavy crops of medium- 
sized pear-shaped green fruits of good quality. It follows the 
Fuerte in ripening, May to October. Each $5.75.

Custard Apple - Cherimoya 
The large heart-shaped fruits of Cherimoya are one of the 
best flavored of subtropical fruits. Recent advertising of 
“Pliofilm’” for preserving delicate fruits has promised the 
availability of Cherimoya among many others, but why wait 
for so uncertain a prediction, for they are readily grown in 
frost-free areas with little care. Cherimoyas make a neat, 
round-headed small tree and require the same treatment as 
Citrus: 
Whaley. This variety has the largest fruits of all, some weigh- 
ing around 2 to 3 pounds. We consider this to be one of the 
finest for flavor—the creamy, smooth white flesh is eaten 
with a spoon and is so finely flavored as to defy description. 
Winter ripening. Each $6.75.
