PEARS 
Each, $1.75. 
See Pollenization under Deciduous Fruit Trees, page 49. 
Bartlett. Most popular of all pears. Matures good crops 
of large waxy yellow fruit. Smooth, melting white flesh of 
sweet and delicate flavor. The tree grows vigorously. Bears 
more heavily if combined with Winter Nelis or Beurre 
d’Anjou. September. 
Beurre d’Anjou. Beautiful russet yellow pears of good 
size, marked with crimson, that taste as good as they look. 
They’re juicy and melting. A good pollenizer for the Bartlett 
variety. October. 
Seckel. Small russet fruit of very finest flavor. Juicy and 
fragrant. September. 
Winter Nelis. This brownish russet fruit is of medium 
size, rich aromatic flavor and in a cool place will keep for 
many weeks after harvesting. Produces very heavy crops. 
November. 
PERSIMMON 
.Each, $2.75; 5-gal. containers, $3.75. 
A single knife cut through the bark to the wood on each 
of the main branches 2 or more inches in diameter will ma- 
terially reduce the dropping of Japanese Persimmons and 
increase the yield. The girdling should be done during May 
or early June. 
Fuyu. Bears at a younger age, and is probably a more 
consistent producer than other persimmons. The somewhat 
flattened fruit is large and smooth, is never puckery so may 
be eaten at any time after sugar content is high enough to 
make them palatable. 
Hachiya. Most popular of all persimmons. Big, heart- 
shaped seedless fruit, reddish-orange within and without. 
Soft melting flesh of matchless flavor and consistency. The 
handsome spreading tree will supply, in addition to delight- 
ful fruit, brilliant orange and red autumn foliage. 
PLUMS 
Each, $1.50. 
See Pollenization under Deciduous Fruit Trees, page 49. 
Becky Smith. Delicious bright red fruit that ripens in fall 
after other plums are off the market. Flesh is amber colored, 
sweet and juicy. Late September. 
Green Gage. Greenish yellow fruit of good size, yellow 
within. Crisp, juicy and delicious. Needs no pollenizer. Late 
August. 
Santa Rosa. The outstanding favorite for eating fresh from 
the tree. Produces heavy crops of large purplish-red, yellow 
flesh fruit that are juicy, sweet and of prime flavor. June. 
Satsuma. Deep purple outside, blood red inside. When 
fully ripe the firm juicy flesh and tart skin make delightful 
eating. For canning they have no equal as the fruit loses 
none of its shape, rich color or flavor through processing. 
August. 
Wickson. Our nomination as the finest plum for eating 
out of hand. Extra large amber colored fruit brushed with 
red. Crisp, juicy and delicious. August.

when quite young and in a few years after planting bear

$3.75. 
Each year our customers are becoming more and more 
enthusiastic over our big super balled Peach and Nectarine 
trees. While these trees cost a little more than the ordinary 
kind most of them bear the year they are planted, grow faster, 
bear heavier crops sooner, and, being budded on disease re- 
sistant root stock, live longer. Some of the reports we have 
received are almost unbelievable. In fact we’ve been wonder- 
ing if some of these reporters might not be fellow fishermen.
