FRUIT AND NUT TREES—Continued \ 
A PERSIMMON. Heart-shaped jelly-like fruit. 
PERSIMMONS 
Each, $2.75; 5-gal., $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 materially re- 
duce the dropping of Japanese Persimmons 
and increase the yield. The girdling should 
be done at about full bloom. 
Fuyu. Bears at a younger age, and is prob- 
ably 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 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 addi- 
tion to delightful fruit, brilliant orange and 
red autumn foliage. Balled, 6-7 ft., $6.00. 
SANTA ROSA 
A splendid Plum for all purposes. 
\\ Late Satsuma. 
PLUMS 
Each, $1.50 
For proper pollenization plant Satsuma with 
Santa Rosa and Late Satsuma with Late Santa 
Rosa. 
Late Santa Rosa. Quite similar to the well 
known Santa Rosa but ripening its fruit in 
August. 
Deep purple without and 
blood-red within. Firm juicy sweet flesh 
makes*it outstanding for eating out of hand 
and preserving. September. 
Santa Rosa. The best all purpose plum. 
Great big crimson-purple fruit, sweet, juicy, 
amber flesh. Bears well alone but yield will 
be increased by combining with Satsuma. 
Late 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. 
PRUNES 
Each, $1.50 
The bearing habits of all prune varieties 
will be improved by planting more than one 
variety. 
French Improved. Big dark purple fruit 
for drying, canning, eating out of hand or for 
use in making pies. Sweet and fine flavored. 
Bear heavily. September. 
Standard. The largest and most handsome 
of all prunes. Deep purple skin, sweet amber 
flesh. Bears heavily here. August. 
Sugar. Produce heavy crops of large dark 
purple fruit that are sweet and highly fla- 
vored. Taste good and are good for you. July.

SUGAR PRUNE 
Great quantities of purple fruit. 
. POMEGRANATE 
\ Wonderful. A fruit that all youngsters 
really go for. Huge highly colored red fruit 
and attractive bloom of the same color. Each, 
S502 Sagal, S325. 
| QUINCE 
Pineapple. You don’t know how really good 
jelly can be until you've tried Quince jelly. 
A little Quince imparts an outstanding flavor 
to canned apples. In spring the Quince puts. 
on a tremendous show of big pearly white 
bloom. October. Each, $1.75. 
ALMONDS 
Each, $1.50 
Combine the two following varieties to 
insure proper pollenization. Almond trees are 
the first to bloom in spring and really put 
on a gorgeous show. 
Jordanola. Not only the most consistent 
bearer in Southern California but the nuts are 
large, easily shelled and of superior quality. 
Ne Plus Ultra. Exceptionally large and at- 
tractive nuts. Soft, corky shell. 
CHESTNUT 
\. American Sweet. Handsome _ spreading 
shade tree. Often bears excellent nuts quite 
young. 5-gal., $4.75. 
WALNUTS 
Each, $3.75 
Considering quality and bearing habits the 
following are the best Walnuts for Southern 
California. We are often asked, ‘“Which is the 
better of the two?” We think there is little 
to choose between them. 
= 
Payne. Noted for its heavy crops of quality 
nuts. Bears when quite young. 
~ Placentia. Medium sized, thin shelled nuts 
of highest quality. Tremendous crops. 
By planting your family orchard before you 
build you'll often have bearing trees by the 
time your home is completed. 
_ ALMOND 
Lovely in spring; fruitful later.
