average thin-skinned variety. Fruit oval, green, with a mild, pleas- 
ant flavor, smocth and clear flesh. Grows well from the Sacramento 
valley to Mexico. Tree is a fast grower and makes a handsome orna- 
mental tree. (Sept. G Oct.)

in oil and of excellent quality. Trees are fast growers and highly 
resistant to heat, cold and wind. (Sept.) 
Note: In the San Joaquin valley Avocado trees should be planted 
in areas protected from killing frosts, although the two varieties we 
list are the hardiest of all Avocado trees, reasonable care should be 
exercised to bring them.through the first two or three winters by 
protecting them the same as you would young citrus trees. 
- LOQUAT 
The Loquat is hardier 
than most other sub- 
tropical trees. The 
fruit ripens in April 
and May. Its sprightly 
aromatic flavor is 
widely enjoyed. The 
fruits are pear-shaped, 
yellow to orange, and 
of white flesh. Because 
of its broad, shiny fo- 
liage the Loquat makes 
a splendid ornamental 
with its small, spread- 
ing branches. (See also

J green Trees.)
