FUERTE AVOCADO. Pick yourself a salad. 
FEIJOA 
Pineapple Guava. Coolidge Variety. Bears 
heavy crops of tasty, aromatic fruit that are 
delicious either preserved or fresh. The big 
white, red-centered bloom is delightfully fla- 
vored. But remember, you can’t eat your 
cake and have it, too. Hardy. August and 
Septemberwo26 (ttn al-Galea > leZorm-cals 
$3.25. Balled, 3-4 ft., $4.50. 
AVOCADOS 
By selecting the proper varieties you may 
haye Avocados throughout the year. Note 
bearing months after descriptions. 
Avocados, as well as supplying valuable 
fruit, are among the finest of shade trees. 
They will thrive either in or out of the lawn 
area. 
Each, $6.50, except as noted. 
\ Edranol. Has many qualities to recommend 
it. In the first place it bears heavily here in 
the foothill areas, much better in fact, than 
it does near the coast. Its green fruit is large, 
with very small seed, of rich nutty flavor. The 
tree grows tall and slender and withstands 
heavier frosts than most other summer fruit- 
ing Avocados. May to August. 
\. Fuerte. The most popular of all Avocados. 
The large green fruit is of highest quality and 
flavor. While the tree will bear heavy crops 
only one year out of two we find from ex- 
perience that, even in off years, a single tree 
will generally bear enough fruit to care for 
an average family. We carry the Tonto strain 
which usually comes into bearing several years 
earlier than the regular Fuerte. Uninjured by 
frost in normal winters except in coldest 
areas. November to May. 
\ Haas. There is probably no other summer 
Avocado so sure of setting a heavy crop each 
year as this long, black, rough skinned va- 
riety. It is equally certain none other has a 
longer ripening season. Good flavor and 
quality. Rated tops by commercial growers. 
May to October. Pat. 189. Each, $9.50. 
‘\, Mexicola. Not only does this variety gen- 
erally bear the second year after planting but 
it also matures consistent heavy crops of 
small black oval fruit that are high in flavor 
and quality. Probably the most frost resistant 
of all desirable Avocados. Large shapely tree. 
August and September. 
\ Puebla. In our estimation the flavor of 
this variety tops that of any other. Dark pear- 
shaped fruit of medium size and plenty of 
it. Uninjured by frost in normal winters ex- 
cept in coldest areas. November to January. 
~. Ryan. A pear-shaped fruit of finest quality 
that resembles the Fuerte in color, shape and 
size. It bears heavy crops in all areas and 
is one of the most frost resistant of summer 
varieties. May to October. 
GUAVAS 
Ripen in late summer and fall. Hardy and 
prolific. Sun. 6-8 ft. 
Red Strawberry Guava. The easiest to pre- 
pare of any fruit grown, in fact they need 
no preparation, just pick ‘em and eat em’, 
skin, seeds and all. The dark red fruit is lovely 
to look at and of delightful flavor. Excellent 
for jelly making. 1-gal., $1.00; 5-gal., 
S53} 25). 
~ Yellow Strawberry, Guava. Identical to the 
foregoing variety except that the fruit is yel- 
low, larger and more mild in flavor. 1-gal., 
SOO: Sell, S25. 
PASSION VINE 
Passiflora edulis. An outstanding vine that 
combines unique flowers, shining foliage and 
tasty purple fruit. Planted in a sunny loca- 
tion on fence or trellis this vine will spread 
its lustrous scalloped leaves quickly and at 
an early age will surprise you with its big 
purple and white flowers. Fruit about the 
size and shape of an egg follows the flowers 
and is delicious. Hardy except in very cold

EARLY ELBERTA PEACH 
A splendid yellow, red-cheeked freestone. 
APPLES 
Each, $1.75 
Most varieties of Apples do not bear well 
locally except at high elevations. The follow- 
ing varieties, however, bear very well. 
~ Red Astrachan. Not only a fine looking 
yellow, red striped Apple, but a snappy, fla- 
vorful one, as well. Excellent for eating out 
of hand or for cooking. Bears heavily. July. 
“ Rhode Island Greening. Used to be an 
orchard of this variety across the road from 
where we lived as youngsters so naturally we 
know about all there is to know about this 
variety. Big, firm, crisp fruit, green tem- 
pered with yellow. Delicious when thoroughly 
ripe and unmatched for cooking. October. 
“Yellow Delicious. Crisp, juicy, yellow 
fruit of delicious yet mild flavor. Bears heav- 
ily here. September. 
APRICOTS 
\ Reeves. If you want early Apricots, and 
who doesn’t, this, we believe, is the most 
satisfactory variety. It matures its big, de- 
licious, orange-yellow fruit about the first of 
June, several weeks ahead of the popular 
Royal. And it bears with consistent regularity. 
Pata OoSmmcacho2-OOn 
\ Royal. The finest all-purpose fruit for this 
area. Big, sweet, red cheeked fruits that are 
delicious when eaten fresh or canned. Bear 
heavily. June. Each, $1.50. 
CRABAPPLE 
| Transcendent. For preserves, jelly making 
or sweet pickles this abundant, red striped 
variety is best. Its big, white, perfumed bloom 
ie sight in spring. August. Each,
