PEARS 
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. Each $1.50. 
Beurre d’Anjou 
Fine large pear. Ripens in fall. Fruit has yellowish flesh with a rich and vinous 
flavor. Each $1.50. 






SUGAR PRUNE 
PLUMS 
To insure better crops of plums 
plant a tree of Wickson variety 
to pollenate the other trees in your 
planting. Plums do well here, espe- 
cially the blood plums, which are 
the best for eating. 
Howard Miracle Plum. (Pat. Ap- 
plied for.) This is truly a miracle 
plum—twice the size of an ordi- 
nary plum but with an exceedingly 
small pit and amber colored flesh 
possessing a delicious flavor sug- 
gestive of pineapple. Develops a 
beautiful red cheek where exposed 
to the sun. Bears heavy when 
planted with Wickson or Santa 
Rosa. Ripens July to August. Sup- 
ply limited. $2.00 each. BARTLETT PEAR 
Santa Rosa 
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. $1.50. 
Satsuma 
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. 
$1.50. 
Wickson 
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 pol- 
lenizer for other plums. July. $1.50. 
All Rosedale’s Pedigreed Fruit Trees Are Selected for Superiority in Southern 
California Gardens. 
WALNUT, PLACENTIA 
Winter Nellis 
One of the best winter pears we can grow here. Fruits of medium size with a 
_ dull russet skin. Flesh yellowish-white, of good flavor and texture. Bears heavy 
! crops in southern California which ripen early in December. Each $1.50. 
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 deli- 
cious spicy cake or steamed pudding. 
Fujiama 
One of the finest Persmimons for 
home gardens. Fruits tomato-shaped, 
bright red, full of delicious, flavorful 
pulp which lacks any vestige of pucker. 
Bears consistent crops. In our opin- 
ion this is one of the best. Each $3.30. 
Hachiya 
Long the most popular persimmon. 
The flavor of the ripe fruit is sweet, 
rich and mellow and well worth wait- 
ing for the ripe stage. Very beautiful 
with its bright orange-red fruits. Each 
$3.30. 
Fruit trees may be purchased by mail 
order during the months of January, 
February and March.
