In these times, with high prices of fruits and vegetables, as well as other 
commodities, many are turning to home gardening as a means of cutting 
the cost of living. And rightly so, for the quality of home grown fruit is 
much superior to that from the market. These few back yard trees add 
a glorious touch to the spring garden with their handsome blossoms and 
later with their colorful fruits. 
For commercial plantings ask for quotations and varieties not listed here. 
Trees are priced bare root at $1.50 and $1.75. Slightly higher in containers. 
ALMONDS 
For best results, two different varieties should be planted in close proximity 
for cross pollination. 
Jordanola. A recent introduction. Bears abundant crops of large, long, 
soft-shelled nuts. 
Ne Plus Ultra. Popular kind with large soft shelled nuts. Pollinates Non- 
pareil. 
Nonpareil. The leading commercial variety. Popular for its paper thin shells. 
Mission (Texas). Medium sized, rather hard-shelled, but a sure bearer. 
Good pollinizer for soft-shelled varieties. 
APPLES 
Apples are a satisfactory home garden fruit in this area. Ornamental as 
well as fruitful.

red stripes. White flesh. Excellent for cooking and eating.

red when ripe. Bears when young. October.

sharp flavored, is fine for eating if fruit is picked early. One of the best 
cooking apples.

delicious of all eating apples. Late.

very late.

market variety in West.
