Greetings 
TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS! 
As we start our sixteenth year in the same loca- 
tion on McHenry Avenue, we want to express our 
deep appreciation to the fruit growers of Stanis- 
laus County, and the entire valley. 
In building a sound, permanent nursery busi- 
ness, nothing is as important as choosing for 
associates men of character and integrity. We have 
been fortunate in this respect and the result has 
been a growing confidence in our organization 
over the years — which has been most gratifying. 
As this little catalog goes to press, another crop 
of dependable trees is almost ready to dig and 
deliver. When planted in your orchard, wherever 
it may be, our interest in these trees does not 
end. When an orchard is planted, every grower 
eagerly anticipates healthy growth of the young 
trees — and then good production. 
We share that anticipation; and a profitable 
orchard is our sincere wish for you.
