HEADQUARTERS FOR ALL KINDS OF

California Wild Flower Seeds, Native Plants, Trees and Shrubs

T

'HERE are no plants which harmonize so perfectly with the landscape or are so . well adapted to the climatic conditions of California, as the native plants which nature herself intended to grow here. Realizing this great truth I have for many' years made a study of the California flora, advocating the conservation of pur wild flowers, trees and shrubs, and the more general use of them in our gardens, parks and public grounds. A few years ago I established a nursery for the propagation of exclusively native plants, which is the only nursery of its^ kind in California. I now have a large number of species which I am offering for sale, a price list of these maybe had upon request. Of California wild flower seeds I have over 100 beautiful species, about 50 of these will be found with brief descriptions on pages 35 and 36 of this catalogue; for a com- plete list of wild flowers and also for full descriptions of those kinds mentioned herein, send for the new edition of my illustrated booklet, ''California Wild Flowers, Their Culture and Care,” price 15c postpaid.

California Wild Gardens

DEING an advocate of the naturalistic school of planting, I specialize in the making of Wild ^ Gardens or natural plantings of California native plants. "The Wild Garden” in Exposition Park, Eos Angeles, planted in 1915 and which attracted so much attention last year, was conceived, planned and carried out in every detail by myself, not a tree, shrub or plant was set in the ground until I had personally selected the spot for it. This garden covers approximately 5 acres and con- tains over 200 species of California native trees, shrubs and wild flowers, planted in such a way as to reproduce as nearly as possible a piece of natural landscape. Being the first garden of its kind ever made in California, it merits a visit from everyone interested in our native flora.

I shall be glad to consult with anyone desiring landscape work of this nature. Corre- spondence invited and estimates furnished.

MY FRIEINbS AND PATRONS

In presenting this, my thirteenth annual catalogue, I wish to call the attention of intending planters to the following reasons why I can render them superior service and offer seeds and plants unsurpassed for Califor- nia and the Southwest.

experience. — To new and prospective customers I would like to say that having had twenty-seven years’ practical experience in the Seed and Nursery business (twenty-two of which have been spent in Southern California), I feel I am in a position to give advice regarding all horticultural matters pertaining to this section.

Sources of Supply. — My sources of supply are world-wide, and my stocks are purchased wherever the best seeds are obtainable. Having traveled extensively through the principal seed-growing centers of England, Germany and Prance, as well as this country, I am personally acquainted with most of the growers. I have seen their crops and observed their methods, and therefore am in a position to secure the best seeds.

Vegetable Seeds. — In my list of vegetable seeds will be found varieties thoroughly tried in California, and adapted to prevailing conditions of soils and climate. I have written special instructions for the growing of each kind.

Flower Seeds. — This is a great specialty of mine, and I wish to call your particular attention to my list of Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds on pages 17 to 22, California Wild Flower Seeds on pages 35 and 36, also my superior strains of Pansy, Stock, Antirrhinum, Cineraria, Coleus, Calceolaria, Aster, Scabiosa, Sweet Pea and Mammoth Zinnia. I have written instructions for the growing of annuals under California conditions, and special directions for all other Flower Seeds, thus making this portion of my catalogue the most complete ever published on this coast.

Eucalyptus Seeds. — This is a department to which I have given much study and many years of careful ob- servation. I shall be pleased at any time to give Intending planters advice on this subject. In these pages will be found full directions for sowing the seeds, raising and transplanting the plants. Of those species obtainable here, my seeds are collected by my own men under my personal supervision from specimen trees, and can be relied on to be of the highest quality and true to name. For those species not yet obtainable here, I am in direct communication with the very best and most reliable authorities in Australia, who collect the seeds for me in their native habitats.

Tree and Palm Seeds.— Of these I have the largest and most complete assortment offered on the Pacific coast, including rare and desirable species. I enjoy a large trade in these among nurserymen, who will testify to their genuineness and quality.

Nursery Department. — In this department I have a most complete list of Roses, specially adapted to South- ern California conditions. In Carnations, many varieties of great merit. Fruit trees, all the standard sorts in No. 1 grade trees, besides a full assortment of Climbing and Flowering plants, Ornamental Trees and Palms. I also make a specialty of growing California Native plants and trees, of which I now have over sixty species ready for sale.

Landscape Department. — Specializing on California Wild Gardens and natural plantings of our native fiowers, shrubs and trees, it will afford me a pleasure to consult with those contemplating garden making. Nothing blends so harmoniously with a California landscape as the native fiora, and nothing can be more effective at a minimum of expenditure in money, time and labor. Correspondence invited and estimates furnished.

Gardeners. — I keep a register of gardeners’ names, and to all customers wanting such help, I will be pleased to recommend competent men.

Thanking friends and customers for their generous patronage use every endeavor to merit a continuance of their favors,

in the past, and assuring them that I will Sincerely,

THEODORE PAYNE.

Ailsa Craig Onion

ONION

Cebolla — Zwiebel — Ognon

Culture. Onions require a rich, moist soil; rich, low land is best. It may be either sandy loam or black soil, but should have plenty of natural moisture. Land which has been planted to vegetables — peas or beans preferred — for a few seasons is the best land for onions. They may also be grown on higher lands with irrigation, providing the soil is rich. The land must not be allowed to get dry, as this will check the growth and either force the plant to run to seed or produce “stiff necks.” For the home garden the seed may be planted the year round in California, but for main crop from November to end of January is best. In naturally moist soils the seed m>ay be sown in drills 15 inches apart, covering the seed very lightly. When large enough, the plants may be thinned out to 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. For irrigated lands sow the seed thickly in beds or drills and keep well watered; when the plants are large enough — about half the size of a lead pencil — transplant to rows 15 inches apart and 6 inches in the rows. Trim off about a third of the tops and half the roots before planting, as this helps the plants to bulb out. When sown in drills, and thinned out, it requires from 4 to 5 pounds of seed to the acre, or 1 ounce to 100 feet of row. When sown in beds and transplanted, from 1 to 1% pounds will raise enough plants for an acre. For the home garden. Onion sets are often planted. These will produce large onions much earlier than the seed. For “Green” or “Spring” Onions, sow the seed of the White Queen or some other white variety.

TOMATO

Gitomate — Uiebesapfel — Tomate

Culture. Seed can be sown from January to May. The early sowing should be in seed boxes in frames or on a hot bed. When the plants are about 2 inches high they should be transpFanted to shallow boxes, placing them about 1 inch apart each way. Protect from cold, and when well established gradually harden off; when all danger from frost is over, transplant to the open ground, placing them from 5 to 8 feet apart each way. Later sowings can be made in the open ground, in seed beds or drills, after danger from cold is past. In frost- less localities where winter tomatoes are grown, the seed can be sown from the middle of August to the end of September. One ounce of seed should produce about 2000 plants.

Lawn, Grass and Clover Seeds

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A LAWN

The ground should first be spaded over, or plowed to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, and should then be leveled to the proper grade. A good plan is to let it lay for several weeks and water thoroughly. This will give a chance for many of the weed seeds in the ground to sprout, and these can be hoed off as they come up. After the weeds have been removed, rake the surface with a fine rake, and sow the seed broadcast: Blue Grass seed at the rate of 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft., or White Clover seed at the rate of 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft. When both grass and clover are used, they are generally sown one-third clover to two-thirds Blue Grass. It is better to sow them separately, however, going over the ground first with one and then with the other; as in this way they can be sown more evenly than if the seeds are mixed together. After the seed has been sown, it should be covered with about half an inch of good mulch. This is very essential, especially during the hot weather, as it is necessary that the surface be kept continually moist, giving the seed an opportunity to germinate. The best thing to use for a mulch is thoroughly rotted manure, which has been passed through a fine screen. Great care should be taken in selecting this, and it should be taken from a pile that has been thoroughly heated, so that all the weed seeds are killed. When any other kind of manure is used, it will only bring weed seeds into the lawn. For small lawns, burlap is often used in place of a mulch. This is spread out over the surface of the ground, the watering being done over the burlap, which can be removed after the seed has germinated. Burlap is especially valuable on steep banks or slopes, as it both keeps the surface moist, and also prevents the seed from washing out. Watering a newly sown lawn should be done very carefully, and with a fine spray, and as often as is necessary to keep the surface per- fectly moist at all times of the day, until the seed has germinated. After the lawn is five or six weeks old, it will be necessary to weed it, as even with the best of care there are bound to be some weeds pro- duced from seeds which have been lying dormant in the ground or blown in from vacant lots, etc. This should be done carefully, pulling out all weeds by the roots.

To keep a lawn in good condition it should be fer- tilized at least once a year with a dressing of a good commercial lawn fertilizer.

Flower Seed Novelties and Specialties

Superb New Antirrhinums or Snapdragons

Snapdragons are among the most popular flowers grown in California. In the last few years great advancement has been made in the development of these lovely flowers, both increasing the size of the blossoms and add- ing many new and delicate shades. The in- termediate or semi-dwarf varieties grow from 15 to 24 inches high and are the most desir- able for bedding.

This new and distinct variety of Sweet Alyssum is of dwarf compact habit and pro- duces flowers of a pure lilac shade. The plants when in full bloom resemble a minia- ture candytuft. Pkt. 15c.

Amberboa muricata rosea.

Amberboa muricata rosea

A new hardy annual. The plants grow to a height of from 1^ to 2 feet, and produce numbers of large flowers, about 2 inches in diameter, somewhat resembling a cornflower or centaurea, but of a charming light pink shade. It is highly recommended for cut- ting purposes, as the flowers are produced on long stems and last well in water. Pkt. 10c.

Anchusa italica, Dropmore

This beautiful perennial plant is of recent in- troduction and should be planted in every gar- den. The plants grow 4 to 5 feet high and are remarkable for their free and continuous blooming. The flowers, which are produced in long spikes, are of a rich gentian-blue shade. Pkt. 15c.

Theodore Payne, Seedsman and Nurseryman

Payne's Giant Branching Comet, or Ostrich Plume Aster

This magnificent strain is without doubt the best of the late flowering asters for our climate. They grow from 2 to 2^ feet high, and form strong, much-branched bushy plants. The flowers are produced in large quantities, on long wiry stems, and are of immense size, often four or five inches across ; they are of the most perfect form, with long, broad and curled petals. For cutting purposes this strain has no equal. I oflfer them in 8 different colors : White, shell pink, light pink, rose, crimson, lavender, dark blue and royal purple. Each, per pkt., 15c. Mixed colors, pkt., 10c.

SPECIAL OFFER. Full collection of the above 8 colors, one packet of each, for $1.00.

Aster, Violet King

By many this is considered the grandest of all Asters. It forms a large branching plant with long, stiff stems and luxuriant dark green foliage. The flowers are of large size, many of them measuring 5 inches in diameter, of rounded form with the petals more or less quilled. The color is a soft shade of violet. Pkt. 15c.

Mammoth Double Daisy

(Beilis perennis flora pleno monstrosa.)

A new strain of this popular perennial plant, remarkable for its strong, robust growth, and abundance of immense very double flowers. These are carried on long stems, often twelve to fifteen on a plant. Rose, red, white or mixed, each, per pkt. 15c.

Cardinal Climber

A new and absolutely distinct annual climb- er, being the result of a cross between Ipomoea quamoclit, “Cypress Vine,” and Ipomoea coc- cinea. I consider this the most brilliant and beautiful annual vine ever introduced. It will no doubt attract universal attention, not only for the beauty and number of its bright, car- dinal-red flowers, but for its hardiness, its quick growth, reaching a height of 20 to 25 feet in a short time, and also for its rich green, laciniated foliage, which resembles that of a fine Japanese Maple. The flowers, which are about inches in diameter, the tube being about 1 J^inches in length, are borne in clus- ters of from 5 to 7, and their vivid cardinal-red color against the abundant dark green foliage is most effective. This vine thrives best in a good soil and a warm, sunny situation. Sow the seed in the open ground as soon as the weather is warm and settled. Pkt. 15c.

New Double or Anemone Flowered Cosmos

This valuable introduction from England, was offered for the first time last season. Though not exactly a double flower, on the disk flowers there is produced a thick beard- like growth, giving the flower a full or double appearance in the center, as seen in the accom- panying illustration. While they do not come altogether true from seed, a large percentage of the plants produce flowers with this peculiar phenomenon more or less in evidence, the re- mainder bearing large blossoms of the ordinary type. I offer them in two distinct colors ; Pink Beauty, pkt, 15c; White Queen, pkt. 15c.

New Double Cosmos, White Queen

New Early Flowering Mammoth Cosmos

A new strain of Cosmos similar in all re- spects to the Mammoth Perfection, but having the great advantage of coming into flower in a much shorter time from the time of sowing the seed. In three colors : White, pink and crim- son, each, per pkt., 10c. Mixed, pkt., 10c.

New Mammoth Fringed Cosmos

This new strain of Mammoth Cosmos pro- duces flowers with beautifully fringed or lacini- ated petals. Though they do not come abso- lutely true, a large percentage of the plants produce blossoms of this type, the remainder coming with flowers similar to the ordinary Mammoth Cosmos. In three colors : White,

pink and crimson, each, per pkt., 10c. Mixed, pkt. 10c.

DELPHINIUM Belladonna hybrids

This magnificent strain of Delphinium is of recent origin, and is unsurpassed by any other strain ever offered. The plants are of rather dwarf habit, rarely growing more than 2^ feet high. They form numerous stems from

Delphinium, Blue Butterfly

A distinct variety growing about 18 inches high and flowering the first season from seed. The plants have fine, feathery foliage and pro- duce freely, spikes of large single flowers, the color being a rich Salvia-blue. Pkt. 15c.

Dimorphotheca aurantiaca

African Orange Daisy

This is considered by many one of the very best winter flowering annuals yet introduced.

By sowing the seed in September or Octo- ber, it can be had in bloom as early as January and will flower continually until late spring or early summer. It forms neat, much-branched plants, which grow to a height of twelve to fifteen inches, and produce immense quantities of flowers. The marguerite-like blossoms, about two and a half inches in diameter, are of a unique, glossy orange-gold, this brilliant col- oring being rendered more conspicuous by the dark colored disk, which is surrounded by a black zone. When in full bloom on bright sunny days it is truly a magnificent sight, for brilliancy of color almost rivaling the Califor- nia Poppy. It is especially adapted for plant- ing in masses in beds or borders and parkings. Pkt. 10c, oz. $1.00.

Unlike the original Delphinium belladonna, this new type produces flowers in all shades from sky- blue to the very darkest possible shade of blue, including sapphire, turquoise and indigo, many of these intervening shades being be- yond description. The flowers are larger than the old variety, and are arranged rather loosely on the spike, so that they stand out boldly from the main stem, presenting a most graceful appearance. Perhaps the most valuable and admirable feature of these plants is their ex- treme free flowering qualities. If well cared for, and the old stems are kept cut off, they will flower almost the year round, and even through the winter months. Pkt. 25c.

Dimorphotheca aurantiaca hybrida

Splendid new hybrids of this pretty annual from South Africa. In habit and flower these new hybrids are like the parent plant, but range in color from white, lemon yellow, gold- en yellow, orange to salmon. Pkt. 15c.

Theodore Payne, Seedsman and Nurseryman

Eschscholtzia, the Mikado

A new variety, being the result of a cross between Eschscholtzia Mandarin and Carmine King. The flowers are very large, and the plants have all the free blooming qualities of the other Eschscholtzias. The color is a bril- liant orange-crimson, suffused with the lustre of the Carmine King, and will be a valuable addition to this beautiful class of plants. Pkt. 15c.

Eschscholtzia Thorburni

This valuable novelty has been pronounced by some as the grandest of all the Eschscholt- zias. In coloring it is decidedly distinct. The unopened buds on the outer side of the petals are of an extremely deep rich crimson shade, toning down on the inside of the flower to bright flame color, and molten gold. The flow- ers are larger than most of the other varieties and are produced in great abundance. Pkt, 15c.

Gerbera Jamesonii, “Scarlet Transvaal Daisy”

Freesia hybrida Ragionieri

This is without doubt one of the most re- markable novelties of late years. The fragrant blossoms are produced in the most exquisite shades of rose, pink, blue, purple, violet, yel- low, orange and brown, often delicately veined and spotted. The culture is the same as for the white freesias, and plants can be had in bloom in seven or eight months from the seed. Pkt 15c.

Gerbera Jamesonii hybrida

The flowers of these magnificent hybrids of the Transvaal Daisy are of about the same size as those of the parent, but range in all shades from pure white, yellow, orange, salmon, rose, -cerise, ruby-red to violet. Pkt. 25c.

GERBERA JAMESONII

‘‘Scarlet Transvaal Daisy”

This beautiful plant from South Africa thrives quite well in our California climate, and is becoming very popular here. The plants require a good rich soil, with plenty of drain- age and a sunny location. The flowers resem- ble a marguerite in shape, but are of an in- tense scarlet-crimson color. They are pro- duced on long stems, and last a long time when cut. The seed should be sown in seed pans of light, well-drained soil, and kept in a glass house or frame, and the young plants can after- wards be transplanted to the open ground. Pkt. 25c.

FLOWER SEEDS

QE^ERAL LIST

re:ad carefully

In sowing flower seeds in California it must be re- membered that the conditions are entirely different from those existing in the Eastern States. There the time for sowing all hardy and half hardy annuals is in the Spring, while in California the majority of them do best when sown in the Fall and early part of the Win- ter; this being the season when most of our native annual wild flowers commence to grow. It naturally follows that it is the best time to plant most annuals in our gardens. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule, such as Asters, Zinnia, Portulaca, etc., which are distinctly Summer flowering plants. In the following pages I have endeavored to give special in- structions where needed as far as space will permit. Where no special time for sowing annuals is men- tioned, it is understood that the Fall and Winter months are the best time.

Bugnot’s Superb Blotched Pansy

PANSIES

Truly speaking, a perennial, but an annual In Cali- fornia, To obtain the best results the seed should be sown in August, September, or early part of Octo- ber. Sow the seed in boxes of fine, rich soil mixed with plenty of leaf-mould and sand, cover the seed lightly and keep in a frame, lath house, or outside in some sheltered and partially shaded place. When the plants are large enough to handle, transplant to beds of rich, well prepared soil, and cover the sur- face with a layer of well rotted, sifted manure. Pansies prefer a rather heavy soil with plenty of well rotted manure; this is very essential. Indeed, it is almost impossible to use too much manure on pansies and the richer the soil the larger and more perfect will be the flowers. Later sowings may be made up to the beginning of February, but they will not do as well as those sown early in the fall and the blooming period will be much shorter.

PETUNIA — (Continued)

Xote. — Seed saved from the most carefully hybrid- ized flowers, produce about 30 per cent double flow- ers, the balance being singles of unusually fine qual- ity.

Sow the seed early in spring in seed boxes and transplant when large enough. Mixed colors. Pkt., 10c.

SALVIA SPLENDENS. “Scarlet Sage.” For produc- ing a dazzling mass of color all through the summer months there is probably no other flower that can equal the “Scarlet Sage.” It is a perennial, but blooms in a short time from seed. Much used for bedding and succeeding best in a sunny situation. Sow the seed in February or March in seed boxes and when large enough, transplant, splendens. Long spikes of vivid scarlet flowers; height 2 to 3 feet, Pkt., 10c.

SCABIOSA. “Sweet Scabious.” “Mourning Bride.” An- nual, 2 to 3 feet, flowering in summer and early fall. Flowers on long stems, produced in great profusion and especially valuable for cutting, lasting a long time in water. Sow the seed from February to April in seed boxes and transplant. The strain I am offering here is a great improvement on the old- fashioned sorts. The flowers are large, often 3 inches in diameter, double and of the most exquisite shades.

Shasta Daisy, Alaska

SHASTA DAISY. One of the most popular of Mr. Bur- bank’s productions. Perennial, about 2 feet high, flowering for the greater part of the year, but at its best in spring and early summer. Desirable for beds or borders and especially valuable for cutting pur- poses, flowers lasting a long time in water. Sow in spring or early fall in seed boxes, covering the seed very lightly; when large enough transplant.

Alaska. Flowers often 4 inches across, purest glistening white, with yellow centers; broad over- lapping petals, long stems. Pkt., 10c.

■SILENE PENDULA COMPACTA. Annual, forms com- pact little plants about 6 Inches high, flowers rose- colored; useful for edgings, etc. Pkt., 5c.

STATICE LATIFOLIA. “Sea Lavender.” Perennial, 1% feet, producing panicles of small lavender blue flowers, which can be cut and dried and used for bouquets. Sow the seed late in spring or early in the fall, in seed boxes, and transplant. Pkt., 10c.

STOCKS. “Gilliflower.” A favorite annual, succeeding best in California during the winter season. Largely grown for cut flowers, lasting a long time in water. Very effective for planting in beds or borders. To obtain the best results the seed should be sown in August, September, or early part of October, in seed boxes of rather light soil, and afterwards transplanted to the open ground. In transplanting stocks care should be taken to save the small or weak growing plants, as these generally produce double flowers, while the strong, robust growing seedlings often come single. The seed I offer is ob- tained direct from one of the best specialists in Europe and can be relied upon to produce a large percentage of double flowers.

PAYNE’S SWEET PEAS

Can be sown at any time from October to March ; early planting will produce the best results. They require an open situation, good rich soil and plenty of water. Sow in drills covering the seed about 2" deep or a trifle more in light soils. When about a foot high draw the earth up to the stems with a hoe. They should’ have brush, sticks or wire netting to climb over. By keeping the flowers gathered and any dead flowers cut off, the plants will bloom for a long period.

Special Souvenir Collection of California Wild Flower Seeds

This collection contains twelve choice species of California Wild Flower Seeds in separate packets, mostly annuals of easy culture, and includes the California Poppy, the Baby- Blue-Eyes, the Scar- let Larkspur, the Blue Lupine, the Blazing Star, the Wild Heliotrope and six others of my selection, mailed free to any part of the world for Fifty Cents.

California Wild Flower Seeds in (Mixtures

I particularly recommend these mixtures for sowing on waste pieces of ground, parkings, vacant lots, etc. My No. 1 Mixture has an established reputation, as the many letters of praise I have received will prove. It contains twenty distinct species mixed in their right proportions and will produce a succession of bloom for a long period. Many odd corners and un- sightly pieces of waste ground can be transformed into beauty spots by sowing some of these seeds broadcast in the fall about the time the rainy sea- son commences.

In ordering it is only necessary to mention the num- ber of the mixture desired.

Payne’s Mixture. No. 1. General mixture of annual wild flower seeds. This mixture is made up of those kinds which will give a succession of flowers for a long period and will succeed under ordinary condi- tions. Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; lb., $4.00.

Special prices quoted on large quantities.

Payne’s Mixture. No. 2. Mixture of annual wild

flower seeds for sowing in shady places. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; lb., $5.00.

Payne’s Mixture. No. 3. Mixture of annual wild

flower seeds in orange, yellow and cream shades. Pkt., 10c; oz., 45c; lb., $6.00.

flower seeds in blue, purple and lavender shades. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; lb., $5.00.

Remember, I am headquarters for California wild flower seeds and native plants. Through my work in collecting and bringing before the public the beautiful wild flowers of California extending over a period of twelve years, there is now a considerable demand for these seeds. It is a regretable fact that some seed stores have resorted to the practice of selling garden varieties of flowers as wild species. Some of these are cultivated forms of wild flowers, greatly changed, and in many cases much inferior to the original types and others are not native species at all. My No. 1 Mix- ture has been imitated by some Arms with an inferior mixture of such flowers and sold at a price at which the true native species could not be furnished. In buying your seeds, patronize the firm making a spe- cialty of the true wild species. For those who wish quantities of flower seeds for sowing on vacant ground and desire a cheaper mixture than my No. 1 Mixture of California Wild Flower Seeds, I have prepared my Surprise Garden Mixture described below and which I am confident will be found superior to any such mixture offered by other firms.

Surprise Garden Mixture

This is not a mixture of wild flowers, but of garden annuals, with a few wild species added. It contains a large number of different kinds, all of them quite hardy and varieties that will grow with the least amount of care and produce quantities of flowers for a long period. Indeed, there are so many kinds ap- pearing in endless succession that it is a continual sur- prise from the time the first plant begins to blossom. I recommend it for vacant lots and waste pieces of ground. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; lb., $2.50.

Tree and Shrub Seeds

Where not otherwise stated all trees and shrubs described in this list are evergreen. Where a height is mentioned it is understood that it is the ultimate height they attain. Space will not permit giv- ing full instructions for sowing seed of each kind of tree but a few general remarks may not be out of place. Most tree seeds are better sown in the latter part of winter or spring, though there are many that can be sown at any time, and some which must be sown while the seeds are quite fresh. Most kinds are best sown in boxes, of light, well-drained soil, covering the seed about its own depth or some of the larger ones a little deeper, press the soil down slightly with the hands. Keep in a lath house, frame, or some sheltered place and water carefully. As soon as large enough to handle, pot and grow on until large enough to plant in the open ground, where they are to remain. Pines and other Conifer seeds are best sown in March and April; use a soil containing plenty of decomposed granite and always water in the morning and not at night, as the young seedings “damp off” very easily.

Acacia seeds should be soaked in hot water for twelve hours or more before sowing.

Some seeds are good only for a short time and in these cases 1 have stated the time at which fresh seeds can be had.

Eucalyptus Seeds

HEADQUARTERS FOR EUCALYPTUS SEEDS

I am headquarters for eucalyptus seeds, having the most extensive trade in this line of any firm in the United States, and supplying the largest planters here as well as exporting to many foreign countries. To this department of my business I have devoted much study and personal attention. My seeds are carefully collected by my own men, under my personal supervision, from selected specimen trees, and are both true to name and of the very best stock obtainable. So extensive has become my trade in this line that a trifle under 1800 pounds was the total amount of seed thus collected in one season. For a few species of which the seed cannot yet be obtained in California I am in direct communication with the most reliable authorities in Australia who collect the seeds for me in their native habitats.

EUCALYPTUS TIMBER CULTURE

REQ,UIRE:9EENTS. The requirements for propagating the seedlings are:

A lath house or lath or cloth covered frames to shade the seed beds during the day. When growing on a large scale it will pay in every case to build a lath house. Shallow boxes or flats; a good light soil and water convenient for sprinkling.

PliATS OR BOXRS. These should be 3 inches deep and any size desired, though the size most convenient and generally used is about 20 inches square and will hold 100 plants. Some are using 18 inches square, the latter being mostly made of shakes sawed in half, using inch pieces for ends and split shakes for the sides. This makes a box 16x18x3 inches inside measurement and does very well.

SOIL. This should be a good light, sandy loam passed through a screen so as to take out any lumps or stones. If good leaf mould is procurable a small quantity of this may be mixed with the soil, as it helps to retain the moisture.

SEED. Procure the best seed possible from the most reliable source; it does not pay to use cheap seed, for by getting seed not true to name the loss cannot be calculated.

QiUANTITY OP SEED. The quantity of seed to pro- duce a given number of trees varies according to the species; as a fair average, however, 1 lb should produce 20,000 seedlings, though as high as 30,000 has been known.

TIME OP SOWING. This varies somewhat according to the locality and the species to be sown. The usual time, however, is in June, or early July, and seedlings from these sowings will be ready to set out in the field by the following February; later sow- ings are also made in August and early part of September, and these seedlings will be ready to plant out in April.

SOWING THE SEED. There are two methods of sow- ing the seed, viz.: In seed beds and seed boxes.

For raising limited quantities the latter method is preferable. Fill the boxes carefully with the pre- pared soil, smooth off the surface and press down lightly with a board, tamping it slightly in the corners. On this smooth surface, sow the seed broadcast, using about % oz. of seed to a box, then cover the seed with the same kind of soil. This should be sifted over the surface through a fine- m'eshed sieve and not be more than % of an inch deep. The boxes should then be placed in the lath house or in some place where they can be covered with lath or cloth covered frames. The soil must be kept moist at all times, the watering should be done with a pot or a loose hose-nozzle so fine as to produce nothing but a spray.

As soon as the young seedlings show through the surface great care must be exercised in watering or the seedlings will ‘‘damp off.” Always water in the morning and never at night. When raising the seed- lings in commercial quantities, sowing in beds is often practiced. The soil for these should be pre- pared in the same way as already mentioned, the surface smoothed out evenly and the seed sown and covered as already mentioned. After this cover the beds with burlap stretched over a wooden frame work. This may be laid right on the ground and kept moist. As soon as the seedlings break through the crust of the ground this should be raised a little at first and gradually up until it is a foot above the ground. As the seedlings grow and get stronger this covering may be gradually removed so that they will harden to the full sun.

Theodore Payne, Seedsman and Nurseryman

TRANSPLANTING. When the seedlings are 2 to 3 inches high they are ready for transplanting, but they must first be hardened off by exposing them to the sun; transplant to the same kind of boxes as already mentioned, 100 to a box, in perfect rows or checks, using the same kind of soil as that in which the seed was sown though a trifie heavier or less sandy. Fill the boxes, press down the soil and smooth off the surface then mark the soil off by lines into ten divisions each way and plant where lines cross, 100 to a box. This may be done by marking the edges of sides of box and using a small straight edge that will drop inside of box or any other contrivance that will check off the soil in centers of 100 to each box. A method often used by commercial growers is to have a board just the size of the inside of the box; in this are placed 100 screws, set at the right distance apart for the trees; the heads of the screws are left protruding about % of an inch from the board. This board is laid on the smooth surface of the soil and hammered slightly with a wooden mallet, thus making 100 impressions at the exact places for the plants. In planting, make a hole for each seedling with a sharpened stick about the size of a lead pencil, firming the soil after put- ting in the plant. Sprinkle a thin layer of sand over the surface of the soil; this helps to hold the moisture and will keep the surface from bak- ing. Before the young seedlings are taken from the seed box or bed they should have a thorough watering so that they will come out of the soil easily without breaking the roots, which must not be allowed to dry on any account during the process of transplanting. When growing the plants for sale it is advisable to grade seedlings into sizes at the time of transplanting, so that when the plants are ready for sale they will be of an even size in one box and the boxes containing the larger size plants can be sold first and the smaller ones later in the season. As soon as the seedlings are transplanted they must be watered thoroughly and set in com- plete shade for a few days until they thoroughly recuperate; after that they should be gradually hard- ened to the sun and cared for until they are ready to set out in the field.

PLANTING OUT IN THE FIELD. The land should be plowed as deeply as possible and well harrowed. The time to plant varies according to the climatic conditions. In localities where there is little or no frost, planting may be done in the winter time, thus getting the benefit of the rains, but in sections where frost prevails, it should be deferred until spring. The size at which the plants are best to set out is from 6 to 10 inches. The boxes may be taken to the field and left at convenient points. One side of the box should be taken off and each plant cut out with a square of earth and then planted with a trowel, taking care not to break this ball of earth, and the plants should be set about one inch deeper than they were in the box. A quart or so of water should be given to each tree as soon as it is set and afterwards hoe a little dry soil up around each plant. The distance at which to set the young trees varies according to the species, the soil and the purpose for which they are grown. On heavy soils where irrigation is not practiced, they may be planted 6x6 feet apart, where irrigating and cultivating is practiced 4x8 feet is a suitable distance and leaves an 8-foot space for plowing and irrigating. On lighter soils 8x8 feet is a good dis- tance. Some are planting 7x8 feet on the alternate or triangle system, placing the trees 8 feet apart in the rows and 7 feet between the rows, which makes the trees 8 feet apart every way. It Is claimed for this system that they do not throw so much shadow and get a more even amount of sun- light, causing the trees to make a straighten and more even growth when young.

CARE OP THE YOUNG .TREES. As the value of the grove depends largely upon the trees making a good start, it will pay wherever practical to Irri- gate and cultivate the trees for at least the first two seasons.

THINNING THE TREES. To produce good lumber it is necessary that the trees grow straight. Close planting induces a straight growth. It is therefore better to plant closely and at the end of the first season grub out all weak and inferior trees.

SPECIES TO PLANT FOR PROFIT. Eucalyptus trees are gross feeders and to be grown profitably require a deep, rich soil with a fair amount of moisture, and only under these conditions will they make good, straight timber trees. When planted on poor or impoverished soil they make stunted, crooked trees, which are worthless for timber purposes. The best species to plant for profit depends largely upon the locality where the trees are to be grown. For general timber purposes, taking all conditions and uses into consideration, E. tereticornis is considered the most profitable tree to plant. But in sections

where E. globulus, “Blue Gum," thrives there will be quicker returns by planting this species than any other. For the hot interior sections E. tereti- cornis and E. rostrata are recognized as the leading commercial kinds, while E. viminalis might be grown very profitably under the same conditions. In lo- calities not subject to frost E. corynocalyx may be planted. For those who have the right conditions and can afford to wait longer for returns E. resini- fera will probably prove one of the most profitable on account of its very valuable wood, which is used for furniture and interior finishing and is imported very largely by railway companies for the inside of cars under the trade name of Australian Mahog- any.

SPECIES FOR FENCE POSTS. This is an important item on large ranches. By setting aside a small portion of land a great quantity of fence posts could be produced in a few years. The best species for this purpose are E. tereticornis, E. robusta, E. ros- trata and E. corynocalyx.

SPECIES FOR WIND-BREAKS. This is also of great importance in many parts of the country where heavy winds prevail. Probably the best species for this purpose are E. globulus, E. botryoides, E. ro- busta, E. cornuta, E. diversicolor and E. polyan- thema, and for irrigated sections on the desert, E. rudis.

E. AMPLIFOLIA. Much resembling E. tereticornis, but having large, almost round leaves when In the young state; generally known in California as the “Cooper” or “Round-leaf tereticornis,” In corre- spondence I received from Professor J. H. Maiden in regard to this tree he states that it Is known botan- ically under the above name, under which it was described by Naudin. Professor Maiden states, how- ever, that it is possible that this tree should, prop- erly speaking, be treated as a variety of E. tereti- cornis, but he is not prepared to say further until he deals with E. tereticornis and its varieties in his "Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus and Forest Flora of New South Wales.” The wood is similar to that of E. tereticornis, and this tree has been planted quite extensively in California for com- mercial purposes. It forms a handsome tree, and is valuable for ornamental purposes. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00, lb. $10.00.

The wood is hard and durable, used for wheelwrights’ work, shipbuilding and supplies one of the best fuels. The young trees have been used for telegraph poles. On account of its profuse fragrant blossoms it is one of the best as a source of honey for bees. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.25.

E. MUELIiERIANA. “Yellow Stringy-bark.” A tree of medium size, best suited to the coast region, but it has not been thoroughly tested in California. The wood Is remarkably durable. Mr. J. Black- burne speaks of the timber of this tree as follows: "A fence erected of this timber at Greemount, near Yarram, in Gippsland, sixty years ago, is at the pres- ent time sound and in use. The posts of another one on the old Cascade run (Gippsland) are still in good order after being in the ground for sev- enty years.” Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.50.

E. OBLIQ.ua. “Stringy-bark.” A tall, straight-grow- ing tree, sometimes attaining a height of 300 feet In Australia. In California it grows fairly well near the coast, but does better some distance inland; will not succeed, however, in the hot, dry interior valleys. The timber is straight and easily split, used for rough building purposes, shingles, etc. Pkt. 15c, oz. 75c.

E, PILULARIS, “Black Butt.” In Australia under favorable conditions it has attained a height of 300 feet, but the average height is 100 to 150 feet. In California it succeeds well near the coast, but will not thrive in the hot, interior valleys. The timber is strong and durable, useful for house building, shipbuilding, bridges, telegraph poles and railway ties. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00, lb. $10.00.

E. PIPERITA. “White Stringy-bark.” A fair sized tree. It succeeds well near the coast and in cool, inland situations. The timber is easily split and used for fencing and general building purposes. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00.

E, POLYANTHEMA. “Red Box.” In Australia this tree attains a height of 150 feet or more. In Cali- fornia it thrives under a great variety of climatic conditions. It grows near the coast, in the foot- hills and mountains and in the hot, dry valleys of the interior. It is one of the most ornamental spe- cies; the leaves are nearly round and with a silvery lustre; the flowers are small, white, in large clus- ters and are a great source of honey. The wood is extremely hard and lasting, used for railway ties, mining purposes and wheelwrights’ work. It 1s of a light color and takes a good polish. Pkt. 15c, oz. 75c, lb. $8.00.

E. PUNCTATA. “Leather-jacket.” A medium sized tree attaining a height of 100 feet in Australia. In California it succeeds best near the coast, though some fine specimens are to be seen in Riverside. The young trees at the Forestry Station at Santa Monica have made a rapid growth and grown re- markably straight. The wood is one of the strong- est, of a light brown color, very hard and durable, useful for railway ties, wagon work and other pur- poses. This species promises to be one of the best for planting commercially in situations near the coast. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00, lb. $10.00,

E. RESINIPERA. “Red Mahogany.” 100 feet or more. This tree thrives in the coast regions and is suited to moist, semi-tropical climates, but will not thrive In the hot interior valleys and will not resist severe frost. The trees are of remarkably straight growth. It has been said that this tree is of slow growth, but trees on the dry mesa near Santa Monica have made a growth that compares favorably with many of the foremost species. The wood is of a rich, red color, resembling true Mahogany; it takes a fine polish and makes the most beautiful furniture. The timber is very strong, hard and durable and is used in Australia for piles, posts, paving and general building purposes. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00. lb. $10.00.

E. ROBUSTA. “Swamp Mahogany.” 100 feet. This tree thrives best in low, moist land, but has been grown under many varying conditions. It is sym- metrical in growth when young and has been large- ly planted as a street tree and for wind-breaks. It has large, glossy foliage and white flowers which are valuable for bees. The wood is brittle and not very valuable, but is durable under ground. Pkt. 16c, oz. 60c, lb. $6.00.

E. ROSTRATA. “Red Gum.” In Australia it is said to attain a height of 200 feet under favorable con- ditions. It succeeds under a greater variety of conditions and soils than probably any other spe- cies, growing well on moist land near the coast

and in the hot interior valleys, standing extremes of heat and cold. It has done remarkably well at Imperial and all other irrigated sections on the desert. When grown near the coast it is not of rapid growth, but in the hot interior sections it grows quickly, making about the same growth as the “Blue Gum” will in the coast regions. This tree has been planted very extensively and is recog- nized as one of the best commercial species for the hot interior sections. The wood is strong and dur- able, useful for railway ties, piles, street paving, fence posts, etc. It takes a fine polish and is used for cabinet work. Pkt, 15c, oz. 50c, lb. $5,00.

E. RUDIS. 75 to 100 feet. One of the best for street planting. It stands extremes of heat and cold; thrives near the coast and has grown so well in irrigated sections on the desert that it has been termed by some “The Desert Gum.” Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00, lb. $10.00.

E. SIDEROPHLOIA. “Broad-leaved Ironbark.” 100 feet. This tree thrives in California, in the coast regions, but is not suited to the dry, hot interior valleys. The wood is very strong and durable, use- ful for wagon building, railway ties, etc. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00.

E. SIDEROXYLON. “Red Ironbark.” A medium sized tree. In California it succeeds on dry soils near the coast and on plains and hillsides farther inland and will endure minimum temperatures of 16 degrees to 20 degrees F. The wood is of a dark red color, hard and heavy, useful for railway ties, bridges, wagon work, etc. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00.

E. SIDEROXYLON, VAR. ROSEA. A variety of the preceding, with deep pink flowers, which contrast well with the dense silvery gray foliage. By many this is considered the most ornamental of all the eucalyptus. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.50.

E. STUARTIANA. “Apple-scented Gum.” A medium sized tree. It thrives near the coast and will en- dure minimum temperatures of 10 degrees to 18 degrees F., and can be planted at higher elevations than most species. The wood is mostly used for fence posts and for fuel; it is also useful for fur- niture manufacture, being of a dark color and tak- ing a good polish. Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.00.

E. TERETICORNIS. “Forest Red Gum.” 150 feet. One of the very best for commercial use, closely allied to E. rostrata, but forming a straighter tree. For general timber purposes I believe this is the best of the whole genus, taking all conditions and uses into consideration. It stands considerable heat and cold, thrives in sections near the coast, further inland in the hot interior valleys and in irrigated sections of the desert. Under the latter conditions it makes a remarkably rapid growth. This tree has been planted on a very large scale in Califor- nia and also in other countries. I have received very favorable reports of it from Arizona, Texas, Florida and also Brazil. The wood is of a pretty, reddish color, heavy, strong and durable, valuable for railway ties, telegraph poles and for furniture and interior finishing of houses. In 1910 I cut a number of trees of this species and had these cut up into lumber. The wood has a fine grain and is really the most beautiful eucalyptus wood I have ever seen. A table I have made from this wood has been greatly admired by everyone who has seen it, and many think it superior to mahogany. The seed I am offering is extra selected stock, from the very best specimen trees. Pkt. 15c, oz. 75c, lb. $7.50.

E. TERETICORNIS. “Cooper or Round-leaf.” See E. amplifolia.

E. VIMINALIS. “Manna Gum.” In Australia this tree has attained to a height of 300 feet with a diam- eter of 15 feet. It is an exceedingly handsome tree with long pendulous branches, and is one of the most picturesque for avenue planting. This tree will thrive under a great variety of conditions, growing near the coast, also in irrigated sections on the deserts of California and Arizona. It stands con- siderable heat and cold and will thrive at a higher altitude than most of the other species. In the coastal regions it is of very rapid growth, being only rivaled in this respect by the “Blue Gum,” while in the hot interior sections it is unsurpassed by any other species. The wood is not lasting un- der ground, and is not so hard and has not the strength of many of the other eucalyptus; for this reason it has been neglected by timber planters in California. The fact that the wood is softer than other kinds should really be regarded in its favor, as it is so much easier and less expensive to work than the “Blue Gum” and most of the other kinds. Still it is as hard as many of the so-called hardwoods that are now used. It takes a high polish, and its chief uses would be for furniture and all kinds of interior work. The fact that the tree will thrive over a wide range of country and also that it is of such rapid growth should make it one of the most valuable for timber plantations. Pkt. 15c, oz. 75c, lb. $7.50.

Avocado or Alligator Pear

The coming Tropical Fruit for Southern California, destined to become the most profitable of all the orchard crops

Avocado. ( Persea gratissima. ) “Alligator Pear.” “Aquacate.” This splendid tropical fruit has attracted much attention of late in Southern California since it has been found that it can be grown successfully in sections where the orange and lemon thrive. It will, no doubt, be planted on a large scale, and be- come one of the best paying orchard crops. The trees now bearing have yielded high returns, many of them netting the owner from $100 to $200 per tree, and in one case $400 for one season’s crop. It is the most wholesome and nutritious of all fruits, and in countries where grown extensively is a staple article of food. On account of the limited number of trees now bearing in California the fruit commands a very high price, good specimens selling as high as 75c each, and consequently only enjoyed by the more wealthy classes. Being as easy to grow as other fruit crops it will without doubt be planted on a large scale, the prices of the fruit will necessarily be lower but will be within the reach of everyone, and it will become a staple article of food. As the fruit stands shipping well the market is almost unlimited, and it is destined to become one of the best paying fruit crops for Southern California. The tree is of rapid growth, and particularly handsome with large, deep green leaves. It succeeds best in a deep loamy soil and attains a height of from 20 to 40 feet.

Balled or boxed, 3 to 4 feet, each $3.00.
