Rosedale’s Avocados and Subtropicals 

FUERTE AVOCADO 
AVOCADOS 
The rise in popularity of Avocados, from a rare delicacy to a com- 
mon 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 of all varieties. 
Duke 
A fine quality thin-skinned Avocado. It has quantities of deep 
a considerable area of California. Each $6.95. 
Edranol 
An excellent variety—exceptionally delicious, pleasingly 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 ripening. Each $6.95. 
Fuerte 
A large spreading evergreen tree of considerable ornamental 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 $6.95. 
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 $6.95.

30 ROSEDALE’S 
The home fruit garden in Southern California is not complete with- 
out some of these highly desirable ‘different’ fruits. Everyone knows 
the avocado for its popularity has spread rapidly in recent years, but 
about the only way you can enjoy such rare treats as Custard Apple 
and Sapote is to grow them at home. All of these are evergreen trees, 
quite adaptable to the home landscape plan, useful for their foliage, 
small stature and shape for many ornamental purposes. 
The fruits of all subtropicals cannot be picked and eaten at once. 
Rather, they should be picked and stored a few days in a cool, dark 
place, preferably wrapped in newspaper until they ripen. Then chill in 
the refrigerator and serve. 
WHITE SAPOTE 
Suebelle. A strong growing evergreen tree, the fruits much like green 
apples, but with the rich flavor of peaches. This is the best variety and 
perhaps the hardiest, being grown wherever oranges are hardy. Each 
$6.75. 
Custard Apple -- Cherimoya 
The large heart-shaped fruits of Cherimoya are one of the best fla- 
vored of subtropical fruits. Recent advertising of ‘’Pliofilm’’ for pre- 
serving 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. 
Flavorite 
(Trade Mark Registered) 
NEW. The finest cherimoya we have ever had the pleasure to eat. 
The enormous fruits often attain a weight of 3 or 4 pounds each and 
every one of the finest quality—ice cream texture with easily sep- 
arated seeds. This is truly the ‘’Fruit of the Gods’’. Each $7.25. 
Whaley 
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 $6.95.
