rooncsquury ERUIT AND NUT TREES 
You are sure of a sound investment when you buy direct from the grower. 
Our nursery properties include several hundred acres devoted to the preparation for and growing 
of fruit trees and grapevines. The soil at our growing gounds is conditioned years in advance by 
a modern program of crop rotation. It has been said that we grow trees the “hard way,’ but more 
than three-quarters of a century of testing methods of production enables us to give the grower more 
for his money. Particular attention is given to 
e@ Careful bud selection. 
e@ Cautious labeling to insure varieties that are “true to name.” 
e@ Tested, modern cultural methods based on observation and experience. 
e Direct supervision of every operation by our men on our own growing grounds. 
The highly productive results of our practices in growing fruit trees and grapevines are apparent 
in orchards and vineyards throughout the world. 
Test orchards at Niles and Loomis contain many new varieties of fruit being judged for their advan- 
tageous qualities. Varieties selected from this group are passed on to the grower to meet his require- 
ments. 
As the nursery which ‘’grew up” with California's fruit industry, we are aware of our responsibility ~\ 
to furnish the best varieties of young fruit trees and grapevines of great strength and vigor, capable of 
producing heavy yields and a high ratio of first grade fruit. 
Roeding’s Quality Fruit and Nut Trees are supplied as bare root stock during the dormant season, 
January through March; and, for the home orchardist, in 5-gallon containers at all other seasons 
of the year. 
ALL FRUIT AND NUT TREES ARE FURNISHED ACCORDING TO SIZE 
AND CALIPER AT DIFFERENT PRICES. 
ROEDING’s quality NUT TREES 
ATTENTION, HOME ORCHARDISTS: 
When planning your home orchard, be sure to include two or more Nut trees. Nuts not only are valu- 
able when served as a delicacy, but are very practical in-home cooking. Walnuts and Pecans serve 
a dual purpose when planted as a shade tree and a part of the home orchard. Years of experience 
in raising Roeding’s Quality Nut Trees enables us to produce Nut trees that can “‘take it.” 
Add to the enjoyment of your home orchard by planting some of the following Roeding’s Quality 
Nut Trees.

WALNUTS 
Our English Walnuts are grafted on 3-Blood Royal roots as de- 
scribed below. Walnuts should be planted with the bud union 
or graft an inch or more above the soil level as a caution against 
infestation of Oak Root Fungus present in some soils. Trees 
planted too deep will not thrive. English Walnuts on 3-Blood 
Royal Root will grow faster, make larger trees and produce 
heavier crops.

\ CONCORD: Standard variety, grown chiefly in Contra Costa 
County. Nuts are large, round and soft shelled. Rich, well 
flavored, large kernels. Makes a study, spreading tree. 
‘EUREKA: Popular Northern California variety. Large, oblong 
nuts of fine appearance. Shells are rather thick, well sealed; 
hold up well in handling. Splendid large upright tree. Fine com- 
mercial variety and a good ornamental shade tree. 
FRANQUETTE: One of the most important commercial varieties, 
popular wherever the English Walnut is grown. Nuts are large, 
handsome, rather conical in shape. Shells are medium thin. 
Kernels are unusually light in color and of the best quality. Trees 
large and vigorous. This variety is latest to bloom and seldom 
loses a crop through frost injury. 
\ HARTLEY: Large slightly pointed nut of high quality. Tree comes 
into bearing very early; is similar to Mayette in habit of growth. 
. PAYNE SEEDLING: An outstanding producer and early bearer. 
Nuts fully as large as Franquette. Thin shell, high quality kernel. 
Trees do not grow as large as other varieties so may be planted 
closer. A splendid shade tree for the small city lot. 
< Royal Walnut Seedlings 
This more vigorous, healthy strain of Walnut understock is ex- 
clusive with us. These seedlings are grown from the seed of 
Lieb’s Frost-fighter Walnuts, discovered by the late Frank Lieb of 
San Jose. Due to their hardiness, Royal Walnut seedlings grow 
more rapidly than the common black walnut seedling. Royal 
seedlings also make an excellent, handsome, fast-growing shade 
tree. Plant Royal Walnut seedlings for quick results.

\\ LX.L.: Sturdy upright tree, producing large nuts \ NONPAREIL: King of soft-shell almonds in all 
which are easily hulled. Soft smooth shell has 
fine color without bleaching. Kernel is large and 
plump. Plant with Texas or Nonpareil. 
JORDANOLO: A recent introduction similar to Ne ( 
Bears ™ 
Plus Ultra, but has smoother kernels. 
abundant crops of large, long, soft-shelled nuts, 
easily shelled. Plant with Ne Plus for pollination. 
NCNE PLUS ULTRA: Tree is a strong grower. It is 
a regular and heavy bearer of long, narrow, soft- 
shelled nuts. Hulls freely, and is a commercial 
favorite. Very large kernel, sweet and highly

districts. Heavy and regular bearer of large, 
long and narrow paper-shell nuts of good color. 
Long kernel fills the shell well, possesses excel- 
lent flavor. Plant with Drake, Texas or Ne Plus. 
PEERLESS: Extremely heavy bearer of high- 
quality, hard-shelled nuts. Money-maker. Yields 
heaviest in the Sacramento Valley. 
\. MISSION (TEXAS PROLIFIC): The tree is equal 
to Drake’s Seedling in bearing qualities, but 
grows much larger. Nuts are medium in size, 
hard shelled and highly desirable for the candy 
trade. An excellent pollenizer for the paper-shell 
varieties. 
FILBERTS 
\\ NEW FILBERT “ROYAL”: The new “Royal” fil- 
bert trees bear large, glossy, well-filled, soft-shell 
nuts. The tree is a good heavy producer. Needs 
a pollenizer. Barcelona is recommended for pol- 
lenizer, for early blooms; Duchilly for mid-sum- 
mer; and Daviana for the late blooms. The bark 
of the filbert is very thin and will sunburn easily, 
killing the tree. All the trees should be protected 
from sunburn. 3-4’ grade $2.50 each or 10 for $2.25 
each. 
\ BARCELONA: Best commercial variety. Most Fil- 
bert plantings comprise 80 per cent Barcelona. 
Requires pollenizer. 3-4’ grade $2.00 each; 10 or 
more $1.75 each. 
~\DUCHILLY: Good quality; large size; fine pol- 
lenizer. 3-4’ grade $2.00 each; 10 or more $1.75 
each,

Here’s something different for your home orchard. Not only do 
Pecans produce the much in demand nuts, but they also make 
a wonderful shade tree. Because of the limited quantity of 
fibrous roots on the long tap root of Pecans, they must be care- 
fully handled when planting. Extra caution should be taken 
to keep the roots moist at all times before planting. Pecans 
may start out slow but will grow very rapidly the second and 
successive years. Add to your gardening enjoyment by plant- 
ing a Roeding’s Quality Pecan iree.
