ages in which you purchase them. We 
list the following simply because we 
have had excellent results from their 
use. 
Volck for control of Scale, Mealy 
Bug or Red Spider. Do not apply when 
the thermomenter registers above 85 
degrees. For Red Spider or Mealy Bug, 
spray whenever found. For Scale spray 
twice at two-week intervals between 
August 15 and September 30. Cover all 
affected plants thoroughly, 
Dusting Sulphur may also be used 
for control of Mildews and Red Spider. 
Black Leaf 40 for control of Aphis. 
Spray must come in contact with Aphis 
to be effective. Spray only when insects 
are present. Also eftective in control of 
inrip: 
Snarol for control of snails and slugs. 
Bordeaux for control of fungus dis- 
eases of deciduous fruit trees. Apply 
as soon as leaves fall and again about 
January 1. Also an effective winter 
spray for Blackberries and other simi- 
lar berries. Apply about January 1. 
Fungusul for control of mildew, 
black spot or rust. For control of mil- 
dew on roses, Fungusul should be ap- 
plied to plants as soon as well devel- 
oped new growth appears in spring. 
During foggy or cloudy weather, in the 
growing season, plants should be 
sprayed every week or ten days. 
Remember, roses that are kept in a 
vigorous growing condition (during the 
growing season) will have far less mil- 
dew than those that are neglected— 
many times none at all. 
Basic Lead Arsenate or Cryotox for 
control of beetles or other chewing in- 
sects. For control of Codling Moth 
(worms) in apples and pears, fruit 
should be sprayed soon after it is found. 
Two later sprayings are advisable. 
PRUNING. [f you intend to do your 
own pruning, we suggest you puchase 
either or both of the following: “How 
to Prune Western Shrubs” and “How 
to Prune Fruit Trees” by R. Sanford 
Martin. We have the books at $1.00

WHAT TREES TO PLANT. 1- 
and 2-year-old trees are much more 
satisfactory, and cost you less, than 
older and larger trees. Buds from par- 
ent trees of known production are used 
in propagating all of our standard Cit- 
rus varieties. 
WHEN TO PLANT. Plant at any 
time, except in colder areas March 10 
to August 15 is safer. Best trees are 
usually available in November through 
May. 
DISTANCE APART. Not less than 
16 feet, 20 feet is better; except that 
Mexican Lime, Ponderosa Lemon, Sat- 
suma Orange and Kumquat may be 
planted 8 to 10 feet. Bush type dwarf 
citrus, Meyer Lemon, Rangpur Lime, 
Calamondin, Sweet Lemon, etc., may 
PLANTING. See PLANTING un- 
der GENERAL INFORMATION; 
also in bottom of hole place 4 inches of 
top soil and steer manure, half and half, 
then 4 inches of top soil. Citrus trees 
need a deep soil. If shallow hardpan 
underlies location selected, break 
through it before planting. 
SUN PROTECTION. To prevent 
sunburn (this does not apply to bush 
type citrus) paint trunks of trees with 
Tree White or cover with tree protec- 
tors or wrap loosely with white paper, 
newspaper will do, from ground to first 
branches. 
IRRIGATION. See IRRIGATION 
under GENERAL INFORMATION 
and in addition (this does not apply to 
bush type citrus) after tree is planted, 
set hose on top of ball and let water 
trickle for 3 or 4 hours, Repeat weekly, 
except during rainy season, until tree 
has put on 8 inches of growth. 
FERTILIZATION. After tree has 
put on 3 or 4 inches of growth spread 
2 large handfuls of Gro-Master or other 
general purpose fertilizer in the basin 
just before an irrigation. Also fill basin 
with manure, leaves or straw. As tree 
grows, enlarge basin to width of tree, 
and keep it cultivated or mulched. Gen- 
eral purpose fertilizer may also be ap- 
plied each spring about the time new 
growth starts, % pound for each inch 
of trunk diameter. For method of ap- 
plying see FERTILIZATION under 
DECIDUOUS FRUIT TREES: 
If you experience difficulty in get- 
ting fruit to set (that is, a large per- 
centage of the small fruit drop), apply 
sulphate of ammonia as soon as flowers 
are fully formed. For a small tree with 
four-foot spread, use 14 pound. For a 
full grown tree, apply 3 pounds, other 
size trees in proportion. 
PEST CONTROL. Possible insect 
pests are several varieties of Scale, Red 
Spider and Aphis. See “PEST CON- 
TROL” under “GENERAL INFOR- 
MATION”. 
PRUNING. Practically no pruning 
required except to keep suckers re- 
moved from main trunk, cut out cross 
limbs that rub and, as the tree gets 
older, keep out dead wood. Any cut 
larger than 34-inch in diameter, should 
be painted with Tree Seal. 
POLLENIZATION. One tree of 
any citrus variety will bear satisfac- 
torily alone. 
Auocades 

WHEN TO PLANT. Plant at any 
time, except in colder areas March 10 
to August 15 is safer. Best trees are 
usually obtainable November through 
May. 
DISTANCE APART. 20 to 30 feet, 
except that some varieties may be 
planted 15 feet (Rockwood, Middleton, 
Edranol). 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS. 
See PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
under GENERAL INFORMATION; 
also in bottom of hole place 4 inches of 
top soil and steer manure, half and half, 
then 4 inches of top soil. Avocado trees 
need a deep soil. If shallow hardpan 
underlies location selected, break 
through it before planting. 
SUN PROTECTION. Paint trunk 
of tree with Tree White. 
IRRIGATION. See IRRIGATION 
under GENERAL INFORMATION 
and in addition, after tree is planted, 
set hose on top of ball and let water 
trickle for 3 or 4 hours. Repeat weekly, 
except during rainy weather, until tree 
has put on 8 inches of growth. 
FERTILIZATION. As soon as tree 
shows new growth, spread two large 
handfuls of Gro-Master or other gen- 
erel purpose fertilizer in the basin just 
before an irrigation. Also fill basin with 
manure, leaves or straw. As the tree 
grows, enlarge basin to width of tree. 
For best results as to growth and fruit, 
keep tree well mulched at all times and 
do not disturb roots by cultivation, 
PRUNING. No pruning necessary 
except to keep tree shaped and to re- 
move dead wood as it appears (in older 
trees). Do not at any time by pruning 
expose large bare branches to sun, as 
they are easily sunburned. 
POLLENIZATION. Avocados are 
self pollenizing. 
Deciduous 
Bruit Trees 
Shade Trees 
and Nuts 
(Trees that lose their leaves in winter.) 
WHEN TO PLANT. Best months 
for planting are January and February 
when trees may be obtained bare root. 
For those who cannot plant during 
these months, trees of some varieties 
may be obtained, in containers, through 
the year. Bare-root trees should be 
planted at once, after you receive them. 
If this is not possible, dig a trench, 
cover the roots with soil and soak thor- 
oughly and keep wet until planting can 
be done. 
PLANTING DISTANCE. Plum, 
Prune, Quince, Almond, Cherry, Crab- 
apple, Nectarine, Persimmon, Peach, 
Apricot, Pear, Fig (except Black Mis- 
sion, which should be 30 feet), not less 
than 16 feet, 20 feet is better. Apple 20 
feet, Chestnut, Walnut 30 to 35 feet; 
Pomegranate, 10 feet. 
PLANTING. See PLANTING un- 
der GENERAL INFORMATION and 
in addition place 4 inches of top soil 
and steer manure, half and half, in bot- 
tom of hole, then 4 inches of top soil. 
IRRIGATION. See IRRIGATION 
under GENERAL INFORMATION. 
FERTILIZATION. After the tree 
has put on 6 inches of growth, spread 
2 large handfuls of Gro-Master or other 
general purpose fertilizer in basin pre- 
vious to an irrigation. Each year there- 
after apply % pound Gro-Master per 
each 1 inch of the diameter of tree 
trunk. Apply in this manner: Punch 
holes 4 inches deep about tree, scatter- 


be planted 6 to 8 feet apart.
