MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA. Shapely tree. 
Delicious nuts. See page 42. 
Color uniformly bright red, though darker on side exposed 
to sun; skin very smooth and remarkably free of blemishes, 
medium tough. Flesh nearly pure white, very rich, sweet 
and bland, juicy; firm melting, no bitterness; strong, pleas- 
ing aroma. Excellent flavor and quality. For use fresh, also 
excellent for home canning, the halves remaining entire in 
beautiful pink juice.” Available balled only, 11/16-34' in. 
caliper, $3.75; 5£-11/16 in caliper, $3.25. 
Gold Mine. Big red and yellow white fleshed fruit of un- 
usual flavor and quality. Without doubt the finest nectarine 
for local growing. The trees are quite resistant to delayed 
foliation insuring healthier growth, heavier and more con- 
sistent crops. Early August. We also have husky trees with 
good heads that will probably bear fruit this year. Balled, 
11/16-34 in. caliper, $3.75; 54-11/16 in. caliper, $3.25. 
PEACHES 
Each, $1.50, unless otherwise noted. 
For those of you who are particularly discriminating in 
regard to your Peach and Nectarine trees we grow each 
year a limited quantity of the varieties which are the most 
satisfactory for growing under Southern California condi- 
tions. These trees are spaced far apart in the nursery row, 
are carefully pruned to form good heads and are grown to a 
size larger than is usually obtainable in a nursery. For extra 
protection the trees are balled. Many of these trees will bear 
fruit this year. Reports from those who have purchased these 
super trees are most enthusiastic. 
Varieties which are obtainable balled are marked with 
an *. Prices of balled trees: 11/16 in. to 34 in. caliper, $3.75; 
54-11/16 in. caliper, $3.25, except as noted. 
*Australian Saucer. Small flattened white-fleshed peach 
with very small seed that bears particularly well in our mild 
climate. No peach is more flavorful. June. Balled only. 
*Babcock. We find the majority of you have nothing but 
praise for this early fruit. The rest of you, while praising 
its growing and bearing properties (and no peach bears more 
heavily and consistently) object to its flavor. We intend to 
keep out of the argument, but we can tell you the white 
meated fruit is nearly as sweet as honey and full of juice. 
White outside with rich red blush. Matures its fruit over a 
long period. Early July. 
*C, O. Smith. Flourishes like the proverbial “Green Bay 
Tree’. Like the Babcock it produces consistent and excep- 
tionally heavy crops of sweet, richly-flavored fruit. White 
juicy flesh. Fruit larger than Babcock and in our opinion 
better for home use. 
*Curlew. Developed especially for our Southern Califor- 
nia climate this late ripening peach may be depended upon 
to bear consistent crops year after year. The fruit is deep 
orange-yellow handsomely blotched with red. Flesh is yel- 
low, juicy, red at the pit and possesses a mild sweet rich 
flavor. Late September. Pat. 651. Balled, 5@-11/16, $3.60. 
Each, $2.00. 
*Early Elberta. Because of its regular and heavy bearing 
habits this variety is one of the most desirable yellow 
peaches for planting in Southern California. Firm, yellow, 
red cheeked fruit of medium size that keeps well and ‘‘eats”’ 
well either fresh or canned. Grows vigorously. Mid-July. 
*Golden Blush. While not as well known as the J. H. 
Hale or Elberta this newer variety is far more satisfactory 
for local planting. The season following warm winters the 
above mentioned varieties are prone to set a very light crop 
while the Golden Blush bears consistently year after year. 
The big yellow, red cheeked fruit is of better quality than 
either Hale or Elberta, being slightly elongated, juicy and of 
delightful flavor. Pat. 473. Mid-August. Balled, 5¢-11/16, 
$3.60. Each, $2.00. 
Improved Early Crawford. While not as well known, we 
consider this peach an improvement over the Early Craw- 
ford, which it resembles. Yellow flesh, sweet, juicy and 
highly flavored. July. 
Indian Blood Freestone. This peach presents an alto- 
gether different appearance from other peaches in that the 
fruit is an even dark red color on the outside with red flesh 
within. Tasty, juicy and sweet. 
J. H. Hale. Enormous golden red-cheeked peaches of firm 
yellow flesh and honey-like sweetness and flavor. Excellent 
keeper. Bears good crops about 3 years out of 5. August. 
*Luken’s Honey. Bears heavy crops of small white peaches 
that are amazingly sweet, flavorful and juicy. Bright showy 
bloom in spring. Early August. Balled trees only. 
Mayflower. Probably the earliest good peach. Fruit is 
medium size, white marked with red outside and white within. 
Extremely sweet and pleasant to taste. May. 
Miller’s Late. Comes into bearing well after all other 
peaches are off the market and is particularly valuable for 
that reason. Large yellow fruit of good quality in satisfactory 
quantities. November. 
“Redwing. This peach has a distinct advantage over most 
other varieties as the fruit ripens over a long périod:_ The 
firm fruit matures at the same time as the Babcock and re- 
sembles that variety but is much better in every way, larger, 
more generously marked with red and more highly flavored. 
The tree grows thriftily and may be depended upon to bear 
heavily every year. Early July. Pat. 621. Balled only, 11/16- 
34 in., $4.10. 
Rio Oso Gem. Outstanding large peach that resembles 
the J. H. Hale but is much superior to that variety, being 
more highly colored, of sweeter flavor and ripens two weeks 
later. Red outside, yellow inside. It’s a grand fruit. Patent 
84. Late August. ; 
*Robin. Not only bears good fruit but produces heavy 
crops year after year with systematic regularity. This peach 
ripens about the first of June when good peaches are really 
at a premium. Fruit is of medium size, white with red blush 
outside, white inside. Firm, smooth, juicy and delicious. 
Keeps well. Pat. 529. Balled only, 11/16-34 in., $4.10. 
Phillips Orange Cling. An unexcelled cling peach for the 
home orchard. Deep golden-orange heavily marked with red 
outside and clear orange within. When thoroughly ripe it is 
delicious eaten fresh and, of course, is tops for canning. Sep- 
tember. 
_ White Heath Cling. Best of all white peaches. for can- 
ning. Firm white flesh, sweet and juicy, white outside with 
red blush. September. 
Curlew, Golden Blush, Red Wing and Robin peaches 
grown under license from the patent owner.
