HIS, our Illustrated Price Catalogue for the season of 1914-1915, contains, with brief descriptions and correct illustrations, the very best Fruits, Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, Palms, Roses, etc., for planting in the extreme western part of our country.

We desire to extend to our many satisfied customers our sincere thanks for their patronage, and the assurance that we are better able than ever to supply their wants. To those who have never dealt with us, but w'hom we should like to include among our friends, we shall be glad to demonstrate the high quality of our stock, our ability to handle all orders, and our high-class methods of doing business

Our president. Mr. George C. Reeding, is known the country over for his ex- haustive research and untiring experiments in California horticulture. It is due to his personal efforts that Smyrna Fig culture has become such a prominent feature of the fruit-growing industries of the Pacific coast.

Our business principles may be summed up in the following;

To give our very best personal attention to all orders.

To ship goods promptly and insure their reaching our patrons in good condition.

To send out no tree or plant we would hesitate to plant ourselves.

To invite correspondence on any subject pertaining to our business.

To place our services at the disposal of our patrons, and furnish advice on anything pertaining to our line.

At our office and sales jmrd, Xo. 1603 East Washington street, Eos Angeles, we carrj* a full and complete line of citrus and deciduous fruit trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, palms and roses, to meet the demands of customers. We shall be pleased to have all those contemplating the planting of trees call and inspect our stock before purchasing elsewhere. Whether large or small, your order is always appreciated.

GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS

In growing and furnishing all nursery stock every care and precaution is exercised to have it true to name; still with all our care, mistakes are liable to be made, but we hold ourselves in readiness, on proper proof, to replace all stock that may be untrue to label, free of charge, or to refund the amount paid. This statement is due notice to purchasers of nursery stock of the extent of our liability after the same has been accepted by the buyer.

To Intending Purchasers

Things to Observe

1. Ail orders should be legibly written on a separate sheet of paper, and not mixed up with the body of the letter.

2. In ordering please state whether substitu- tion will be permitted, as we feel at liberty when no instructions accompany the order to use other varieties as nearly similar as possible.

It very often happens on orders of small as- sorted varieties, for a home orchard, that it is necessary to make substitutions. In making same, it is our inv^ariable rule to consider our customer’s best interests. On orders for com- mercial planting, substitutions are never made without first corresponding with the customer and making our recommendations before any alterations are made in the order.

3. Our packing and labeling are as perfect as possible, and we charge for the same only to cover the cost of material. Cartage to the railway or express office free of charge.

4. State distinctly how you wish us to ship — by freight, express or parcel post; also designate the route, otherwise we use our own discretion in forwarding.

5. After delivering to the carriers we cannot hold ourselves responsible for any loss or in- jury to trees or plants after they have been carefully packed and shipped, but we will do everything in our power, if any loss should oc- cur, for the protection and recovery of our cus- tomer’s property.

6. Orders to be sent by express, C. O. D., will be nlled, provided one-half of the amount is sent with the order.

7. If any mistakes are made in filling orders, we will cheerfully rectify the same, but must respectfully request our cuBtnmers to notify us at once, or, at the most, within ten days after receipt of the goods.

8. Orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied by a remittance or satisfactory reference.

9. We uniformly tie our trees in bunches of 10, and grape-vines in bundles of 50; and we suggest to our patrons to make their orders for assortments as far as possible in multiples of these numbers.

10. Articles mentioned in the following list wall be furnished at prices named as follows; Five at the 10 rate; 50 at the 100 rate; 500 or more at the 1000 rate. Less than five of a va- riety at the single rate. This does not m.ean, as an illustration, that 10 pears, 10 apples, 10 plums, 10 nectarines would be charged at the 100 rate. To secure this rate it will be neces- sary to order 50 trees of one sort.

11. Parcel Post: Within a radius of 150 miles of Los Angeles orders not exceeding 50 pounds in weiglit and outside this zone in the United States or any of its possessions, not exceeding 20 pounds, may be forwarded by parcel post.

About Weights and Shipping

The question of freight charges to distant points is a matter of serious consideration to such customers, and we are therefore submit- ting a few figures to give a clearer insight into the subject.

The general run of deciduous fruit trees, either in bales or cases, average about as follows: 6 to

8 ft., 2 pounds each; 4 to 6 ft., 1% pounds each; 3 to 4 ft., 1 pound each; 2 to 3 ft., one-half of a pound each. Grape-vines, one-third of a pound each.

Deciduous ornamental trees from 6 to 8 ft and up to 12 to 15 ft., 3 to 6 pounds each.

Potted plants in from 3 to 6-inch pots, packed in boxes, weigh from 4 to 12 pounds each.

Citrus trees, balled, packed in boxes, 40 pounds each, and with naked roots, 3 pounds each.

Palms, packed in boxes, with ball of earth, 2 to 3-ft. plants, 40 pounds, and gradually in- creasing to 110 pounds each on 5 to 6-ft. plants.

Grape cuttings 14 to 16 inches long, SO pounds to the thousand cuttings, in either bales or boxes.

Eucalyptus, Cypress, about 100 to the flat, 50 pounds per flat; hedge plants from 50 to 100 to the box, according to size, 50 pounds per flat.

Approximate Packing Charges

It is difficult to give these charges accurately, as they will vary more or less, according to the condition of the trees; however, the figures given are taken from our records of charges for the run of shipments for sizes specified: 6 to 8-ft.

trees in bales, $3.00 per 1000; 4 to 6-ft. trees, $2.50 per 1000; 3 to 4-ft. trees, $2.25 per 1000; 6 to 8-ft. trees completely boxed, $6.00 per 1000; 4 to 6-ft. trees, $4.00 per 1000; 3 to 4-ft. trees, $3.50 per 1000.

Grape-vines, in bales, 75c per 1000 vines; in cases completely boxed, $3 per 1000 vines.

Deciduous ornamental trees, 6 to 8 ft. and up to 12 to 15 ft., in bales, from 50c to $1.00 per 100, and completely boxed, $1.00 to $2.00 per 100.

Potted plants in from 3 to 6-inch pots, from 3c to 10c each.

Citrus trees, balled, packed in boxes, tops pro- tected with burlap, 10c per tree (boxes hold from 10 to 12 trees), in cases, completely boxed, 20c per tree; naked roots, packed in moss in boxes, tops burlapped, 2c per tree; completely boxed, 3c per tree.

Palms, balled, in boxes, tops burlaped, from 10c to 20c per plant, according to size.

Grape cuttings packed in bales, 50c per 1000 cuttings, and in cases, completely boxed, 75c per 1000.

Eucalyptus, Cypress and hedge plants, tops covered with burlap, in flats, 15c per flat.

As has been previously stated, the weights and packing charges given are merely a general average, and this data is supplied for the pur- pose of placing our customers in position to fig- ure out about what their stock will cost them delivered at destination. We desire to assure our patrons that we only charge for packing to cover the cost of material used.

Freight Classification

It may not be generally understood that the method of packing a shipment of trees or plants is the basis on which freight charges are made. Nursery stock in bales or boxes completely cov- ered with tule or burlap take a first-class rate, while in cases completely boxed the third-class rate applies. When trees are shipped without packing, the classification requires the payment of the double first-class rate.

In carload lots with a minimum of ten tons, class C applies, and this is as a rule from 50 to 75 per cent less than the first-class rate.

For local shipments in California, trees are either packed in bales, wrapped with tule, or in boxes, tops protected with burlap; for the differ- ence between the first and third-class rates is so slight that nothing would be gained by box- ing, for the increased cost would more than off- set the saving in freight charges.

To distant points in Texas, Mexico, Colorado and to other states and countries outside of California, w.hen stock is to be a long time in transit, it is packed in paper-lined cases, not only with a view of having the trees carry better, but also because of the saving in freight charges, the difference in classification being in many cases $1 per 100 pounds.

We ha^'e made a very close study of traffic conditions, and our knowledge is used to secure i7i all cases the very lowest freight rates for the benefit of our customers.

No accurate data can be given as to freight charges on ordei's for expoiT, except that in a genei’al way a shipment by water to Australia or Japan from San Francisco will cost about one-half less than it does from Dos Angeles to San Francisco, a distance of 475 Jiiiles.

Square 3Iethod — Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill; which, dl^'ided into the number of feet in an acre (43,560) will give the number of plants or trees to an acre

Equilateral Triangle 3Iethod — Divide the num- ber required to the acre “square miethod” by the decimal .866. The result will be the number of plants required to the acre by this method.

BEAUTY. Another of the Burbank introduc- tions, having been accorded a leading place by the growers of shipping plums. Tree a most remarkably vigorous upright grower, with large healthy foliage. Fruit beautiful, oval crimson with amber crimson flesh. The largest of the early plums and ripening ten days earlier than Santa Rosa.

*FORMOSA. This Japanese plum possesses such a combination of good qualities that brings it prominently to the front as a grand shipping fruit. Tree is a vigorous upright grower with large cherry-like foliage; fruit of the largest size, heart-shaped and of light cherry-red color. Flesh pale yellow, usually firm, sweet, rich, delicious, with delightful flavor. Ripens July.

*GAVIOTA. This beautiful plum has qualities which are sure to make it a highly esteemed table and shipping fruit. Ripens two weeks after Formosa; is of a deep reddish purple color; flesh honey yellow; fragrant and sweet to the pit, which is so small in comparison with size of fruit that it might almost be called “seedless.”

APEX PLUMCOT. This new fruit ripens with the earliest plums. Tree a strong, compact, upright grower and good bearer even where apricots cannot be grown, and in seasons where some plums are failures. Fruit very large and handsome, globular, color deep pink or light crimson, free-stone; flesh honey-yel- low, firm, rich, aromatic, apricot-like; un- equalled in size, beauty, productiveness and quality by any other early fruit.

SANTA ROSA. If there is any one fruit whose characteristics are individualized, they are markedly pronoimced in this one plum. To begin with, it is extremely early, ripening the middle of June; it is very large; of a deep purplish crimson color, with pale blue bloom; flesh near skin is a purple shaded with rosy scarlet and pale amber toward the stone, which is quite small. Has a slight acidity next to the skin, merely enough, however, to relieve fruit from cloying. Its qualities may be summed up briefly by stamping it as a good grower, good bearer, fine shipper, good keeper, and in every way a money-maker.

Standard Prune

This late introduction of Burbank is a cross between Tragedy and Sugar Prune. It has been tried in a commercial way now for several years, and it undoubtedly has great possibilities as a high-grade Prune.

Burbank writes of it as follows:

“The trees are enormous and never-failing bearers, and strong, healthy growers. Well- grown fruits measure four and a half inches

around one way by nearly six inches the long way. Skin dark reddish purple, with a heavy blue bloom ; flesh honey-yellow, fine-grained, juicy, yet firmer than most other drying prunes. Is very sweet and a perfect freestone.

“This is without doubt the best combination drying and shipping prune ever grown. The final test as to the value of this prime is that, when dipped, the result is a quickly dried prune which is larger than any heretofore grown.”

New Prune, “Conquest”

One of Burbank’s late introductions. The tree is a vigorous, healthy, rapid grower and unusu- ally productive. The fruit is very similar to the French Prune in form, size, color and golden sweet rich flesh. The stone has been eliminated with the exception of a tiny speck. The fruit is valuable and the tree is very productive. Ripens with the common French Prune and is in all re- spects very much like it in size, quality and ap- pearance. Price $1 50 each; $10.00 per 10; $75.00 per 100.

To term it anything else would simply be mis- leading. One of our leading growers called our attention to an orchard of this variety at Suisun, Solano County, in which extending over a period of years, large sizes were the rule rather than the exception. Growers in this section insist on having this variety in preference to the regular French Prune, knowing from years of observa- tion that without exception the fruit produced on the sport is identical in every particular, ex- cept in size, and in this there has never been any variation, the prunes averaging from 30s to 40s from year to year without exception. Care- ful investigation on our part convinces us of the merits of this improved type of French Prune which to all appearance is the genuine sort with the exception that the branches are inclined to droop some and that it produces without fail every year large crops of fruit, all of which are of the largest sizes. This demonstration of se- lection must appeal to every fruit grower.

Almonds- Continued Chestnut Seedlings

*Ne Plus Ultra. Large and very long; soft shell. A rapid grower and regular, heavy bearer.

♦Nonpareil. Weeping habit and forms a beau- tiful tree. One of the best. An extraordinary heavy bearer of the paper-shell type.

Peerless. Preferred by some to I. X. L., which it resembles, but the nut is larger.

♦Texas Prolific. Closely resembling Drake’s Seedling. Kernel very plump and of medium size, shell soft, hulls very easily. Never fails

/ to produce a good crop.

The Jordan. The famous Spanish variety so long sought after by nut-growers. Nuts are long, with hard shells; the kernels are su- perior in flavor, long and plump and Ailing the entire cavity. A strong grower and heavy bearer.

Eureka Almond

♦EUREKA (New). .This is a novelty only in the sense that it has never been offered for sale before last season. Blooms with Non- pareil, usuall.v in full bloom March 1. Nuts mature SeiJtember 1. One of the leading firms in San Francisco has bought the crop from this one orchard for a period of years and writes of it as foilows: “The Eureka, on ac-

count of the similarity of the kernel in shape and flavor to the famous Jordan, commands the very highest price, and confectioners pay a premium to secure it.” It differs in two es- sentials to the Jordan, being somewhat smaller in size and is a papershell. The tree is not only an exceptionally strong grower but is an unfailing heavy cropper. Originated on the farm of A. M. Newland, Colusa, Cal. Trees are eighteen .vears old and a failure of crop has never been known. The commercial value of this nut has been established b.v .years of trial. Mr. Newland’s orchard of this variety is extensive and he recommends it above any other variety. To the prospective fruit grower, our words of commendation must be summed up by advising the extensive planting of this valuable variety which has so much to com- mend it.”

Too much cannot be said in praise of the im- proved types of the Pecans. The Paper-shell types, which we are offering for sale, are so far superior to the common Pecans, that they can- not be considered in the same category. The Pecan thrives and produces fine crops of nuts in all localities throughout California, except in the immediate vicinity of the coast, where, on account of the fog and cool breezes they would be rather late in maturing, and it would, there- fore, be inadvisable to plant them except for avenue purposes or specimen trees.

*Frotscher. One of the best; nuts cylindrical; shell thin, parting from the kernel easily.

Pabst. Nut cylindrical; soft-shell; kernel par- ticularly well filled.

Russell. Vigorous and productive. Nut oval, pointed, very large; shell very thin.

*Stuart. A standard for commercial orchards; large; good shape and of fine appearance; al- ways well filled; meat of good flavor.

*Success. One of the largest and best; shell very thin; kernel plump.

Van Deman. Large and oblong in shape; shell thin; kernels plump; good quality.

*Franquette. The standard among walnuts, and commanding a higher price in the market than any other. Nut large, elongated, oval and very attractive in form; kernel full, sweet, with a very rich nutty flavor. Blooms late in spring.

^Mayette. This ranks with the Franquette as one of the leading commercial varieties. Im- ported under the trade name Grenoble; size large and unequalled as a dessert nut; an abundant bearer; starts very late in the spring.

The Pistachio

The Pistachio. Pistacia vera is the botanical name for the Pistachio nuts of commerce, sometimes called green almond. Very exten- sixely used for coloring and flavoring confec- tionery, imparting a peculiar but agreeable flavor which cannot be acquired from any other source. In the domains of the Sultan of Turkey, it is sold on the streets by vendors, who simply prepare the nuts for consumption by boiling them in salt water.

It thrives best in the warm interior valleys and gives promise of assuming important com- mercial proportions when the many new and valuable varieties introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture become more widely disseminated. The tree is dioeci- ous, that is the male and female flowers are on different trees. It is therefore necessary to have trees of both sexes to produce nuts. The nuts are borne on the female tree in clusters somewhat like grapes, but more scat- tering and are covered by a thin, purplish light green husk.

We list the grafted varieties as male and female —

Walnuts Grafted on California Black

We have practically discontinued the growing of the recognized leading varieties of walnuts from seed, for the reason of the variation in the seedlings which even the most careful selection cannot overcome. Standardization of the estab- lished varieties can only be maintained by the selecting of grafting wood from trees which are known to be true to their type. Grafted trees worked on the California Black Walnut have so many points in their favor and one in particu- lar is that they come into bearing several years earlier than the seedlings, making the differ- ence in price in favor of seedling not worthy of consideration.

^Concord. This popular variety originated from a seedling planted years ago by the fa- ther of Mr. George Westcott in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County, Cal. The fact that the tree has been a strong grower, enormous bearer, producing large, smooth, round nuts, well filled, has placed it in the front rank as the sort to plant by all Walnut growers in this district. It is certainly worthy of trial in other sections of the state.

*NeflF’s Prolific. A rapid-spreading grower with smooth and clean bark. Blooms late but ripens its nut early. Nuts large, oval, slightly ribbed and tightly sealed. Trees fifteen years old in orchard form have produced 215 pounds of fine, large nuts. Highly resistant to blight. Especially suited to Southern Cali- fornia conditions.

*Eureka. Regarded as one of the coming wal- nuts of the state. Tree Is remarkably vigor- ous, upright grower, leaves and blooms fully three weeks later than seedlings of the Santa Barbara Soft-Shell, and is therefore very de- sirable in localities subject to late frosts. An immense producer and one of the most resist- ant to blight. Nuts large, elongated, smooth and tightly sealed.

*Willson. Originated by F. C. Willson and prob- ably a seedling of the A’Bljou, to which it bears a very close resemblance as to size, which is, of course, exceptionally large. The shell is much smoother. If there is any crit- icism of this new introduction it is in respect to the nuts not filling as well as they should, but possibly this may be overcome by a closer study of the traits of the tree. The quality of the kernel is excellent. The va- riety is noted for its precocity, even in the nursery row being loaded with nuts. Val- uable for planting in the confines of the home grounds.

Wild, or Capri Claiss

The Smyrna Figs cannot be grown without Capri Figs. The Capri Figs serve as a home for the minute insect Blastophaga grossorum, the only insect which can carry the pollen from

Paradox. Grafted on California Black. It grows fully a third faster than the California Black, is very hardy and free from pests. Produces timber light in color and with fine, compact grain. In cold climates winter pro- tection should be given the trees for two or three years. Very rarely produces any quan- tity of nuts.

Royal. Grafted on California Black. A stately symmetrical tree, with all the good qualities of the California Black, exceeding it by far in its rapidity of growth. The wood is ex- ceedingly hard, close-grained and takes a silky polish, more nearly resembling the trop- ical mahogany. The scions for our grafted trees are taken from the original Royal tree.

Special attention is called to our fig trees, which are two-year-old roots, and not sappy, over-irrigated yearlings. Our endeavor is to promote stocky, well-matured wood in our trees. Heights of trees are based on caliper measure- ments. Tall, pithy trees having no w’ell-ripened wood invariably die back to the ground.

This class of figs does not require pollination to mature its fruits. They will adapt themselves to a wdder range of localities than the Smyrna

New Mandarin. Buds of this were forwarded to us several years ago by Dr. Trabut, the famous horticulturist in charge of the French Government Experiment Station, Algeria. The tree is not quite as vigorous as the ordinary Mandarin or Satsuma. It is more of a dwarf- ish habit and in addition to this is very strik- ing on account of its willow-like foliage, making it a very handsome ornamental tree as well as being a heavy producer of most luscious oranges. The fruit is of ihe true Mandarin type with a few more seeds. The flavor is of the best and the fact that it ripens fully a month earlier, combined with the fact that it is exceedingly ornamental, as well as being very prolific will make it a valuable acquisition for small gardens.

New Tangerine. A vigorous, upright grower like the Dancy Tangerine. The fruit bears very close resemblance to the ordinary Tan- gerine, is almost seedless and ripen fully three months earlier. It gives every promise of being one of the most valuable of our late introductions in the citrus line and we take pleasure in recommending it.

New Grapes

*Dattier de Beyrouth (Rosaki). Of the numer- ous varieties of Grapes which w^e have intro- duced from Europe in recent years, not one is to be compared to this magnificent va- riety. Bunches large, only slightly shoulder- ed; berries loose, never compact. Berries very large; quite oval in form, of a beautiful golden amber and covered with a whitish bloom; very fleshy; juicy and sweet, with little or no acidity. Its keeping qualities are unsurpassed. We predict a great future for this beautiful Grape. Aug.

Foreign Table Grapes of Very Recent Introduction

Each 10 100

Price $0.50 $4.00 $30.00

A few years ago we introduced a number of new varieties of Grapes from France. It is only recently that we have observed these va- rieties sufficiently to feel at liberty to offer them for sale. They have been carefully tested in our trial grounds and their value has been fully determined. Our descriptions and recommenda- tions are made from actual observation for several years.

Angulato. A very handsome grape, bluisfi^-

black, large size, oval. Bunch large, closely set; flesh firm, juicy, sweet and crackling.

A good table and market sort.

Buckland Sweetwater. A splendid English va- riety, exclusively grown for table use; bunch medium, compact; berries medium juicy; fine yellow skin when ripe. Aug.

Olivette Blanche

Damas Rose. Bunch large, compact; berry large, elongated; red; very fine. Nov.

Dronkane. As a late shipping Grape this sort has qualities which will cause it to be in great demand in the interior valleys. Bunches are very large, berries are oval-shaped, compact- ly set on the clusters. Berries of a metallic red, very firm and highly flavored. Nov.

Grapes— Continued

Fosters Seedling, A strong-growing vine; bunches cylindrical; berries large, long, oval and of a beautiful golden amber color; flesh is very sweet with a peculiar attractive flavor distinct from other varieties. We regard this as one of the best sorts for home use. Sept.

Gradiska. For home use this is a most de- sirable variety. The bunches are large, heav- ily shouldered; berries large, greenish white and of excellent flavor. A fine trellis Grape and a valuable dessert fruit. Sept.

*Gros Guilliaunie. Among the Grapes of recent introduction this of the black type is the show fruit of them all. Bunches are of me- dium size but berries are as large as Damson Plums, with a coloring when used for table decoration that makes them look as if molded in wax. Flavor the very best. Ripe in early September, but keep well until the middle of October. Enormous producers. Vines should be cane-pruned. Recommended for trellis- ing.

*Joannenc, or Lignan. Ripe with us July 1. Much earlier and a far better Grape than the White Sweetwater. Bunch medium; berries compact, medium; flesh sweet and juicy; golden yellow when rij>e.

*Maraville de Malaga. It is no exeggeration to say that this Grape has a coloring of red which is later modified with a bluish tint, which will make it an excellent market va- riety. Bunches long and loose; berries large, conical, oval. Ripe in September and will keep in the best of condition until the mid- dle of October; flesh crisp and juicy.

*Ohanes d’ Almeria. Bunch above average. Berries are a beautiful golden color; fine flavor; good shipper. This variety is imported from Spain in cork dust. Nov.

*01ivette Blanche. As this variety does not ripen until October it is adapted only to warm climates. The Grape is large, fuily 2 inches long, never too close; berries long, olive-shaped, greenish amber, slightly brown on side exposed to sun; crisp, firm, with a neutral flavor. Vine very abundantly fur- nished with foliage and not only produces heavily but is a vigorous grower. As a mar- ket Grape and for trellising it is sure to take a prominent place.

*01ivette de Vendemian. This Grape bears a very close resemblance to the Almeria so extensively exported from Spain, packed in cork dust, with several important exceptions Vine stronger grower, not so subject to mil- dew; bunches and berries larger. In every way a better Grape and somewhat earlier in ripening. Oct.

Roedings Improved Thompson Seedless. This is a sport of the well-known Thompson Seed- less. Berries are twice as large. The vine is a very strong grower but the canes are heavier and more closely jointed. The leaves are identical with the parent with the ex- ception they have much heavier texture. We have propagated this variety for several years and know it comes true to the type. It is worthy of a trial and we can recommend it particularly as an arbor Grape.

Trentham Black. An early, large black Grape of fine flavor. Bunches shouldered and taper- ing. A good bearer.

EVERGREEN TREES

We invite inspection of our evergreen stocks as it often happens we have an assortment of large sizes in specimen plants on which it is difficult to make quotations in this list.

This list includes trees that do not shed all their foliage at one time, thereby remaining green after deciduous trees are bare.

All stock quoted in tubs and boxes are speci- mens which have been well established in their containers.

(The Gum Tree)

The tree is a native of Australia and serves a variety of purposes — for example, it is often planted in damp, swamp places, where it acts as a sort of drain, absorbing excess moisture and frequently improving an otherwise malarial lo- cality. The ornamental value of the Eucalyptus is considerable; its merits should not be over- looked.

All varieties planted in flats contain about 100 plants to the flat. As it is necessary to cut the flat in case a smaller quantity is ordered, part flats will be charged at IV2 cents per tree higher

than the hundred rate. Each 10

No plants are more decorative, for indoors or out. The smaller and more tender varieties “set off” interior decorations, while the larger and hardier varieties are invaluable for garden, lawn and avenue. We carry a large stock in boxes and tubs, which have been taken from the open ground, and are well established. These can be used either for porch decorations or planted out in the open. Such plants give an immediate effect, and never go back, when transplanted.

All marked with an asterisk (*) are for in- doors and conservatory decoration.

Newest in Roses

We take pleasure in caling attention to a few varieties of roses which our Mr. Geo. C. Roeding saw in a number of different nurseries while on his recent trip to Europe. Many of these sorts are entirely new and have never been offered for sale before in the United States.

Among the immense list of new roses, it is a source of satisfaction to us to be in a position to offer for sale a few of the very best varieties.

Each

Price $0.75

CHATEAU DE CEOS VOUGEOT (H. T.). The

color is varied from a deep velvety scarlet shaded to bright red and then to dark velvety crimson, as the flowers expand. Its fragrance is very pronounced.

EKNA TESCHENDORFF (Dwarf Poly.). Best of the roses of this type. The color is a bril- liant carmine red, similar to Gruss an Tep- litz. It is not only a very free bloomer, but in addition to this, the originator has instilled into this variety a permanency of color which has always been wanting in other roses of this family.

EXCELiSA (H. Wich.). Flowers double, bright scarlet, produced in clusters; a fine novelty.

EDWARD MAWLEY (H. T.). One of the best of the new roses; flower large, dark velvety crimson, almost continuously in bloom.

FARBEN-KONIGIN (H. T.). The color is a carmine rose, inclined to somewhat deeper color on the outside of the petals; flowers very large and full.

GEO. ARENDS (H. P.). Called by the originator “Red Frau Karl Druschki.” Flowers bright red carmine, borne on long stems; an extra good forcing rose.

HEINRICH MUNCH (H. P. ). It has every char- acteristic of the Druschki with the exception that the plants are somewhat stronger grow- ers and the flowers are more striking, both in bud form and when fully open. The petals are beautifully reflexed. It is sure to be ac- corded a high place among the list of new pink roses.

Juliet

HELVETIA (H. T.). Fine cut flower rose; In- side of petals bright pink, outside fiery red; very free bloomer.

HERZOGIN MARIE ANTOINETTE (H. T.).

One of the finest of the yellow roses; buds long, orange gold, opening well.

HIAWATHA (H. Wich.). Flowers rich crimson with white centre.

JONKHEER J. L. MOCK (H. T.). This stands out as a leader among the immense assort- ment of new roses and is so distinct that it will win its way permanently as a standard when many other sorts are long forgotten. It is fine in bud, being full and well formed, and is equally good when it opens up. In color, it is a mixture of bright red and salmon pink As a grower. It is among the best.

JULIET (Hybrid Briar). A distinct type of rose. It is a wonderful grower, sending up long strong stems surmounted by flowers of most unique color; the outside of the petals is old gold; the interior, rich rosy red, changing to deep rose as the flowers expand; very large and full; delicious fragrance.

KONIGTN CAROLA. (H. T.). A seedling from Caroline Testout. Satiny rose with reverse of petals silvery rose. Very striking and free flowering. Even more so than its parent.

LAURENT CARLE (H. T.). Brilliant velvety carmine; flowers very large, of perfect form, not too full, always opening freely.

LIEUTENANT CHAURE (H. T.). Vigorous

grower; long buds borne on long stems. Will become a very valuable sort for forcing and as a cut rose. A cross between Liberty and Etolle de France. Velvety crimson shaded garnet.

LADY ASHTOWN (H. T.). This is recognized as being one of the best of its type in culti- vation; very free bloomer and keeps a splen- did color; pale rose shading to yellow at base of petals, reflex of petals silvery pink; buds long and pointed; flowers large and full.

LADY HILLINGHON (T.). A cross' of Papa Gontier and Mad Hoste. A grand rose for either pot work or garden decoration. Blooms continuously, buds very long with a most pleasing shade of orange yellow. Particularly flne in the bud state.

LEUCHTFEUER (Bengal). Among the new roses for bedding or massing, there is prob- ably no variety grown today which is more eflective than this rose of very recent origin. Its free blooming qualities and brilliant blood red color combine to place it among the top notchers.

MADAM EDOUARD HERRIOTT (Pernetlana). A very strong grower; flowers a unique blend- ing of shrimp pink, copper, orange, and apri- cot.

MADA3I JULE GROLEZ (H. T.). Another rose of very highest quality and entitled to a place at the head of the list among the roses de- serving of the greatest recognition. Color a beautiful satiny China rose: flowers of large size: very double; of good form and very free flowering. Deserves to be planted extensively.

SUNBURST (H. T.). (Pernet Ducher, 1911).

May be described as a glorified Mrs. Aaron Ward. Few roses have so many favorable points all combined in one plant. Its bronzy foliage: absence of thorns; its long pointed orange-yellow buds becoming deeper towards the center, carried on long, stiff stems, place it in the front rank among the new roses.

RAYON D’ OR (H. T. ). There Is probably no yellow rose in existence today that possesses the remarkable coloring of this grand new rose. A vigorous grower, of fine branching habit, with fine bronzy green foliage and oval shaped buds; tinged coppery orange. It is not only very attractive in this form but equally so when the flowers are expanded, on account of its fine substance and magnificent golden yellow coloring: in every way a superb rose.
