LO LOURS CUS TONE Ts: 
We consider it a privilege to present to you, our first publication of “Fruit 
and Grape Varieties of Growing Quality.” This is a descriptive Bulletin of the trees 
and vines we grow in our nurseries. It is hoped that you will find it helpful in 
selecting the varieties of your choice. 
Our stock is produced at our Helmer, Kelley, Plainsburg and La Branza 
Srowing grounds in Merced County, under our personal supervision. In choosing 
land on which to grow our stock we select a sandy loam. This type of soil, combined 
with the thorough manner in which we care for our nursery, produces a strong, well- 
hardened tree, with an ideal root system. 
\ 
We specialize in Resistant Rootstocks, and maintain an experimental orchard 
near Atwater in Merced County. This is where our Stribling’ s S-37 originated and 
was proven the best nematode resistant peach rootstock. If you are confronted with 
the nematode problem we strongly urge that you plant Stribling’s S-37 (patent 
pending) Shalil or Mariana Rootstock. 
Yours for Growing Quality, 
STRIBLING’S NURSERIES
