Any substantial structure to endure must have a solid foundation. This same rule applies to the avocado trees. All of my nursery trees are raised from trees similar to the one pictured here on this page. They are all field-grown from seed to har- vest and guaranteed, root and branch. I select only the best buds from the choicest performance trees. The Lyon is the coming tree for warm lands. It grows upright and bears all the way up. Can be planted six feet from buildings, fences or lines and is just the tree for city lots or small acreage where space is valuable and limited. Plant eleven feet apart each way. I sold last season, more Lyon trees than all others, and am budding more Lyon buds this season than all other sorts combined. Come out and see them bearing, even in the nursery rows. Also, barren trees bearing. Also see my novelty avocado tree with eight difFerent kinds of fruit upon it. Also see my three-year-old Mulgoba Man- gos fruiting and also a large Chinese Litchi tree with fruit upon it, too, the only one which ever fruited in Cali- fornia. I think that the Mulgoba Mangos are also the only ones which have, as yet, fruited here. All welcome to visit my orchard or nursery only on week days. No business whatsoever done on Sun- days. Write for illustrated and instructive Catalog.
