roads c for the Year Around 
Avocados have become a part of many meals, and 
in order to enjoy them to the fullest degree you 
should have some trees of your own. Fine for shade 
in addition to excellent fruit. The different varieties 
bear at different times during the year, and with 
careful selection you can have Avocadoes at any 
time of the year. They do well too in any California 
climate except the mountains and desert, and they 
are well fitted for home growing as they need light 
watering often and little cultivation except to keep 
weeds down. SELECT NURSERIES are offering only 
the strongest trees available, and always remember 
. that a strong tree is not necessarily a large tree, but 
one that will begin its new growth as soon as it is 
planted at your home.

FUERTE. Large spreading tree producing fruit which 
has become the best known of all avocadoes. Long, 
pear-shaped fruits, thin-skinned with delicious flesh 
of a creamy-yellow color when ripe. Ready to eat 
from December to May. 
RYAN. This with Fuerte gives a fine combination, 
as Ryan will ripen from May to October. Also a 
large spreading tree, fine for ornamental and shade 
purposes, with medium-sized green fruits of excellent 
quality. 
DUKE. Also thin-skinned, bears large crops of deep 
green fruit, like small Fuertes, during September and 
October. Duke is gaining wide acclaim. 
EDRANOL. A thick-skinned variety, with exception- 
ally deliciously flavored fruit. Fine for smaller places, 
as the Edranol grows in a narrow habit, and it is 
especially fine along the coast. Ripens from May to 
August. 
LEUCADIA. A beautiful appearing fruit with a thin, 
smooth purplish-black skin. It has long since out- 
ranked the Puebla, as it bears similar fruit but of 
better eating qualities and better crops. Fills in a 
gap with its ripening in October to December. 
NABAL. Round fruits with smooth leathery skins, 
and seeds smaller than usual. Somewhat more tender 
than other varieties. Bears extra heavy crops, some- 
times in alternate years.

DWARF CITRUS — ORNAMENTAL 
and FRUITFUL 
if you have only a small place, and no hope of large 
citrus trees, why not take’ advantage of new develop- 
ments whereby you can have citrus fruits on shrubs, 
which you can plant as single plants or use in border 
or foundation planting. You will find descriptions of 
these shrubs elsewhere in the catalog. Find room 
now for these fine plants. 
MEYER LEMON. Real lemons throughout the year. 
RANGPUR LIME. Orange, round limes, big white 
fragrant blossoms. As resistant to cold as the Meyer 
Lemons, so quite hardy. 
OTAHEITE ORANGE. The little orange fruits are 
of no value to eat, but exceptionally ornamental 
against the citrus foliage. 
CALAMONDIN. A new citrus from the Phillipines, 
very different in taste, and hardy. Will grow tall 
but can be trimmed. 
LIMEQUAT. A small tree with arching branches, a 
cross between the lime and Kumquat, with fruits like 
a small lime. Fine for a different tasting beverage, and 
ornamental too.
