Like I’ve been saying... 
. . there is a difference in trees, and we know it as wellas | oe 
you do, because we're commercial fruit growers as well as i.) & 4. 
nurserymen. 
\ 
We have not claimed to be your only dependable source of nursery 
stock . . . but we do claim to give you superior stock, budded from the 
best-producing strains of each variety, often from the parent orchards 
themselves. 
Time after time, particularly with peaches and walnuts, we've had 
growers show us where Sierra Gold trees made in one year the growth 
made in two by trees from other sources, planted previously. 
Were not the biggest nursery in the state, but we've built our busi- 
ness on quality, and we intend to maintain the reputation weve won 
with growers who want quality planting stock. They (and we) know the 
best is the cheapest in the long run.

the beautiful Sierra 
foothills of Placer

Carmelo soon.
