We carry many varieties of Deciduous Fruits not listed 
in this catalogue. 
APPLES 
Each, $1.75 
Red Astrachan. Our choice in a “snappy” apple for local 
planting. The red and yellow fruit has a delightful tangy 
flavor and is crisp and juicy if picked as soon as ripe. Fine 
for sauce, pies or eating fresh. And the tree really bears 
here. July. 
Rhode Island Greening. A favorite through many years 
either for eating out of hand or for cooking. Mellow and 
juicy, an excellent keeper. Greenish yellow. October. 
Winter Banana. Big clear yellow apples that appear to 
have been made of wax. Mild sweet flavor. Particularly 
delightful when eaten fresh. Fine for baking. Bears heavily. 
August. 
APRICOTS 
Each, $1.50. 
Newcastle. A medium size light orange fruit of average 
quality. Comes into bearing nearly a month earlier than other 
apricots. May. 
Royal. For eating fresh, canning or drying this variety is 
unsurpassed. Good sized red cheeked fruit, sweet, juicy and 
of outstanding flavor. A heavy bearer in this area. June. 
CHERRIES 
Each, $1.75. 
Locally, sweet cherries do not produce satisfactorily ex- 
cept at high elevations. Plant Tartarian with other sweet 
varietiés for pollenization. 
Bing. A black cherry firm of flesh and delicious. June. 
Morello. Bears anywhere. Heavy crops of good sized red 
fruit, rather tart to be eaten fresh, but remarkably fine for 
cooking. Requires no cross pollenization. June. 
Royal Anne. Large red cheeked yellow fruit. Sweet. Late 
June. : 
Tartarian. Big black fruit of excellent flavor. Early June. 

FUERTE AVOCADO. Your own salad fruit 
over a long period. 

QUEENSLAND NUT. Attractive tree for 
shade and for rich nuts. 
CRABAPPLE 
Each, $1.75 
Transcendent. Pickled, preserved or in jelly making no 
other fruit approaches the crabapple for full satisfying flavor. 
And this particular variety is head and shoulders above any 
other. Red striped yellow fruit in great abundance. August. 
FIGS 
Each, $1.50. 5-gal. containers, $3.25. 
Adriatic. Matures enormous crops of good-sized fruit, 
green outside and a brilliant red inside. Unmatched for jams 
or preserves, Also sweet and of good flavor for eating fresh. 
Brown Turkey. Particularly recommended when space is 
limited as it does not attain the large size of some other va- 
rieties. Extremely large figs, brownish-purple without, bright 
red within. Fine grained and sweet. As the best fruit ap- 
pears on the new growth heavy pruning is advisable. The 
‘most satisfactory fig for Southern California. 
Kadota. A most valuable fig for any purpose. Fruit me- 
dium to large, amber inside, greenish-yellow without. Small 
seeds. The tender juicy flesh is almost as sweet as sugar 
itself. Medium sized tree. May be either pruned or left 
unpruned. Not a consistent bearer in this locality. 
Mission. An enormous tree that produces almost unbe- 
lievable crops of medium sized blue-black figs. Flesh is dark 
red, seeds small. Sweet and flavorful in the extreme. Tree 
requires no pruning. 
NECTARINES 
Each, $1.50. 
Banquet. Produced by the University of California, Los 
Angeles, during hybridizing trials to perfect a Nectarine 
suitable for our warm climate. A partial description by Prof. 
Lammerts follows: “Ripens early August. Size large for nec- 
tarine, 2%4-2%4 inches in diameter; very regular in shape. 
Color uniformly bright red, though darker on side exposed 
to sun; skin very smooth and remarkably free of blemishes,

and bland, juicy; firm melting, no bitterness; strong, pleas- 
ing aroma. Excellent flavor and quality. For use fresh, also
