KELLY’S MASTODON
Fresh Ripe Strawberries From June till December
MASTODON
A recent introduction that has created nation-wide inter¬ est as an extra large Ever- bearing Strawberry. The in¬ troducer claims it to be the equal of Superb in foliage, av¬ erages larger in fruit, almost as sweet as Progressive and much better plant maker.
Since the Inland Empire cli¬ mate and soil are ideal for the production of Everbearing Strawberries, in fact is the highest producing section in the U. S., the Mastodon will surely be a money maker.
Order at once as stock is very limited.
Remember our MASTODON plants are direct from the originator. “BE SURE YOU START RIGHT.”

POTTED PLANTS — For Frosty and Cold Locations
The positively sure method of success in maturing TOMA¬ TOES, EGG PLANT and PEP¬ PERS in the short season local¬ ities so common in these nor¬ thern latitudes is to set KEL¬ LY’S INDIVIDUALS. Thou¬ sands upon thousands of the KELLY INDIVIDUALS con¬ taining these semi - tropical plants are annually doing their duty in maturing their fruit un¬ der unfavorable conditions. The whole secret is in the strong, thrifty plant, well hardened, growing in a specially prepared soil and the plant and roots are not in the least disturbed when resetting takes place. With this form and method, plants that are perishable by frost or in¬ clement weather can be held and easily protected while grow¬ ing all the time, until conditions are favorable.
The additional cost of the KELLY INDIVIDUALS is a mere trifle when compared with the positiveness of the resultant crop.

Ornamental shrubs are the founda¬ tion of all landscape plantings. In se¬ lecting your shrubs, bear in mind their ultimate height of growth.

Use medium height growing varieties be¬ tween taller sorts and dwarf kinds, under windows and in front of the taller varieties.

This subject is merely pre¬ sented to interest you sufficiently to cause some experimenting with the use of organic and inorganic fertiliz¬ ers.

Kelly’s Evergreens
Evergreens, with their oeautiful symmetry and their richness of color, add grace and dignity to the land¬ scape design as no other nursery product can. Within the past few years, evergreens have gained in favor for the planting of the home so that now, the modern design calls for prac¬ tically all evergreens. And this favor has been justly won for, in winter as well as summer, their wonderful shap- liness and their gorgeous hues inocu¬ late their surroundings with a spirit of cheerfulness and satisfaction.
To flank an entrance, the taller growing varieties are particularly ef¬ fective; for rock walls, terraces and rockeries, the prostrate types should be used. As single specimens out in the lawn, there is no more beautiful than the Colorado Blue Spruce. For windbreaks and backgrounds, use the Norway and Colorado Blue Spruce.
Remember our help and advice in beautifying your home is positively free, hence feel free to write us on any of these questions. We are sure that we can assist you.
All of our Evergreens are dug with a large ball of earth about the roots to insure safe transplanting. Crating and transportation are charged at cost.
