miles from the coast. Can be grown any place in California where 
citrus is grown. December to May. 
Valencia Orange. Best summer orange, ripens from April to De- 
cember after the Navel season is over. Thus ripe oranges can be

crop of delicious navel oranges. It is a fine winter orange for home 
planting. Bears younger and earlier than Washington Navel. 
LEMONS 
KUMQUAT 
- Nagami. Semi-dwarf tree giving abundant crops of small egg-shaped 
golden orange fruits most of the year. Hardy and very ornamental. 
CALAMONDIN 
The hardiest citrus fruit grown. The upright tree develops a dense 
head with bright green leaves; its small well-flavored fruits resemble 
tangerines in shap2 and color, making it most ornamental. 
Eureka. The leading lemon for commercial and home planting. Fruit 
uniformly medium size, juicy, and few seeded. Most of the fruit 
is ripened during the summer but bears throughout the year. 
Meyer Lemon. Semi-dwarf. Fruit large, oval and deeply orange 
yellow in color. Hardy throughout most of California. Laden with 
fruit most of the year. See page 13 for bush variety. 
LIMES 
Bearss Seedless. Finest and largest of all limes. Seedless, juicy fruits 
ripen mostly during the summer, when limes are in demand. Large, 
vigorous and almost thornless. 
Rangpur Lime. Fruits look very much like Tangerines, both skin and 
pulp being reddish-orang2. Acid fruit. November to March. 
AVOCADO 
Avocados today are no longer a mere 
rare delicacy, but an every-day food 
item. Moreover, the trees are valued 
for their deep cool shade. We offer 
two especially popular varieties. 
- Duke. Most resistant to cold, this va- 
riety ripens between September and 
October. Fruits are oval and green, 
their flesh is pleasantly mild. 
-Mexicola. This early-ripening variety 
(August to Sept.) also is one of the 
hardiest. The fruits are small, shiny 
purple black and oval in shape. Flesh 
of excellent quality. The heat and cold 
resistant tree bears heavily once it 
starts to fruit, usually the second year 
after planting.
