ROEDING’S QUALITY 
The HOME ORCHARD 
What is more satisfying than a bowl of delicious fruit 
from your own garden? A well selected family orchard 
will supply ripe fruit continuously for more than eight 
months of the year and if you add citrus, you may pick 
fruit in your own garden the year ‘round! Fruit irees are 
ornamental as well as productive. They provide summer 
shade, and a beautiful backdrop of colorful blossoms each 
Spring. Many of the varieties on the following pages are 
recommended for home orchard plantings. 
Picked fresh for the table or 
preserved, the fruit you 
grow yourself always tastes 
the best. 
FTER a trip through our growing grounds, an experi- 
enced commercial orchardist recently said: “I’m glad 
to see that you grow your trees the ‘hard way.’ I believe 
you have learned, as I have, that extra care pays. Nature 
is never fooled by short cuts.” 
The tested methods we use have been worked out dur- 
ing more than three quarters of a century devoted to the 
production of fruit trees, nut trees and grapevines. We 
give particular attention to these four points: 
* ¢ ¢ careful bud selection 
* * ¢ cautious labelling to insure varieties 
that are “true to name”

GOLD IN 1850. Now travelers 
on the transcontinental airlines 
get this view of our Sierra foot- 
hill property, located on High- 
way 40 near Loomis, in Placer 
County. Fruit trees grown here 
are noted for their strong fi- 
brous root systems.

GRAPEVINES 

Extra care exercised in our growing grounds produces trees 
that give better results in your orchard, year after year. 
* ¢ ¢ tested, modern cultural methods based on 
observation and experience 
* ¢« ¢ direct supervision of every operation by 
our men on our own growing grounds. 
Some of the beneficial results of these practices are ap- 
parent when you inspect the young trees at our nurseries. 
Others, perhaps more important, become evident later in 
your orchard or vineyard. As the nursery which ‘grew 
up” with California's fruit industry, we are aware of our 
responsibility to furnish young fruit trees and grapevines 
of great strength and vigor, capable of producing heavy 
yields and a high ratio of first grade fruit.
