California-Grown 
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. 
Trees are priced bare root at $1.75 and up. Slightly higher in containers.
