PEAR, Bartlett 
California has long been noted for 
Bartlett Pears suitable for fresh 
market, shipping, canning, table 
use, etc. Perhaps the: best sections 
for this fruit are Lake County and 
the foothills around Grass Valley 
and the low Sierras. We have an 
THE H. A. HYDE COMPANY has been located at Watsonville in 
the famous Pajaro Valley for almost one-half century. Two of the 
largest outputs of this valley have been Apples and Strawberries 
Of the former, some 4000 to 6000 carloads are grown and 
handled annually. We have what is perhaps a record yield on 
file of one Apple tree producing a top crop of 107 forty-pound boxes 
in 1914, and an average of 85 boxes yearly for five years. New- 
town is the chief variety, acknowledged all over America as one 
of the best Apples in quality and appearance. A prime keeper 
that does not blacken if handled properly, it is suitable for slicing, 
handling or quick freezing, superior for pies and all commercial 
purposes. 
This section is one of the best for berries in America, especially 
Strawberries, which ordinarily produce two or three crops per 
season. Commercial yields have been picked fourteen consecutive 
months. 
We have studied the varieties, as well as soil and climatic 
conditions best for these Apples and berries, not only in our sec- 
tion but in other parts of the state, and are very glad to offer our 
knowledge and experience to commercial growers. Our recom- 
mendation for money-making commercial plantings would be 
Strawberries, Hyde’s Phenomenal Nectars, Newtown Apples, 
and Bartlett Pears (the latter 
for the interior). 
Our superior selected strain of 
Blenheim Apricots on No. 29 resistant 
roots is unexcelled for orchard plant-

NOTE SPLENDID SIZE 

This queen of bushberries has 
come to rule. A strong, healthy 
grower and a heavy bearer. The 
freld shown here fifteen months after 
planting yielded four tons per acre 
of fine luscious fruit. Note the short 
coupling of the stems, giving more 
bearing surface. Pickers surely love 
the thornless canes; the labor of 
handling and picking is cut down

These plants are now offered for the first time in quantity. A 
fine, large berry of exceptional flavor, similar to the Boysenberry 
but often measuring 134 inches long, 1 mch im diameter, and 
running 20 to an 8-ounce market basket. Commercial yields are 
heavy. One of our fields gave three tons to the acre the first 
year, sixteen months after planting, and a larger, older acreage 
yielded over seven tons to the acre. 
Prepare beds and fields with ample manure and plenty of 
irrigation. This variety is one of the best moneymakers known, 
if not the best.
