HOW TO PLAN 
YOUR FAMILY 
ORCHARD 
Lay out the position of the 
trees on a scale drawing of 
your lot. Spacing should be 
18 to 25 feet for fruit trees; 
35 to 50 feet for walnuts. Al- 
low 15 feet between tree and 
property line. 
Select varieties according to 
time of ripening so that crops 
will bearatintervalsthrough- 
out the season. Write names 
in plot plan. 
Order early to avoid disap- 

pointment.

APRICOTS 
6-8’ Trees: $1.50 each 
“BLENHEIM. The leading California va- 
riety used for canning, shipping and dry- 
ing. Fruits are medium to large, round in 
shape and attractive in appearance. Flesh 
is highly colored, pit is small, and quality very good. Trees robust 
growers and consistent producers. Ripens in mid-July. 
MOORPARK. Many people consider this variety the finest-flavored 
and most delicious of all apricots. The fruits are extra large in size 
and ripen just ahead of Blenheim. 
,ROYAL. Very similar to Blenheim and some strains are thought to 
be identical. The true Royal, however, ripens a few days ahead of 
Blenheim and seems to do best near the coast where there are com- 
paratively few days with low temperatures in winter. Strong trees 
are abundant producers.
