Rosedale’'s Avocados 
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. 
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. 
Anaheim 
Good for coastal districts. This tree is a very heavy producer. Has 
glossy green fruit, oval in shape and is very popular. It has a tall 
slender habit of growth. May to August. Each $5.95. 
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, bear- 
ing very large crops. Duke is quite hardy and enjoys wide popularity 
over a considerable area of California. Each $5.95. 
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 $5.95. 
Nabal 
Smooth skin, small seed, large green fruit, round in shape, fruit 
weighing as much as 20 ounces. Delicious taste. Leading commercial 
variety. Ripens from June to September. Each $5.95. 


CHERIMOYA FLAVORITE (Trade Mark Registered) 

and Subtropicals 

FUERTE AVOCADO 
Newman 
This is the finest strain of Fuerte type available. For commercial 
or home planting. Pear shaped, buttery flesh, very fine flavor. This is 
really an outstanding avocado. Bears heavy crops. For anyone want- 
ing a really good tree in their garden we do not believe you can beat 
this one. December to May. Each $6.50. 
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 $5.95. 
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 
$5.95. 
Custard Apple -- Cherimoya 
The large heart-shaped fruits of Cherimoya are on2 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 $6.50. 

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 $5.95.
