Always a Sound Investment... 
ROEDING’S QUALITY 
The HOME ORCHARD 
What is more satisfying than a bowl of delicious fruit from 
your own garden? A well-selected family orchard will supply 
ripe fruit continuously for more than eight months of the year 
and if you add citrus, you may pick fruit in your own garden 
the year ‘round! Fruit trees are ornamental as well as pro- 
ductive. They provide summer shade and a beautiful back- 
drop of colorful blossoms each Spring. Many of the varieties 
on the following pages are recommended for home orchard 
plantings. 
Picked fresh for the table or preserved, the fruit you grow 
yourself always tastes the best. 
GROW YOUR OWN TREE-RIPENED FRUIT 
Eat it fresh or put it in your home freezer and enjoy it the year 
‘round. Fruits are ideal for fresh salads. 
Max Red Bartlett pears provide a novelty in color appeal, 
especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas time. Elephant 
Heart and other varieties of plums make wonderful jam. 
Homemade fruit pies—apple pies, cherry pies, apricot pies 
—are always favorites with old and young, doubly good 
when prepared with home-grown fruit.

You are sure of a sound investment when you buy direct from 
the grower. 
Our nursery properties included several hundred acres de- 
voted to the preparation for and growing of fruit trees and 
grapevines. The soil at our growing grounds 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 produc- 
tion enables us to give the grower more for his money. Par- 
ticular attention is given to 
. . . careful bud selection 
cautious labelling to insure varieties 
that are “true to name” 
. .. tested, modern cultural methods based on 
observation and experience 
direct supervision of every operation by 
our men on our own growing grounds. 
Some of the beneficial results of these practices are apparent 
when you inspect the young trees at our nurseries. Others, 
perhaps more important, become evident later in your orchard 
or vineyard. As the nursery which ‘grew up” with California's 
fruit industry, we are aware of our responsibility to furnish 
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.
