A Word of Thanks Once more we wish to extend our thanks to our increasing thousands of customers for their
orders last season. It is our aim to sell nothing but the best, and our watchword of Quality,
Service and Price is ever before us. Many of our friends prevailed on their friends to order for the first time last
season and we take this opportunity of extending our thanks for this double kindness. We regard our customers as old
friends, as they are, and we hope to merit the same kindly and friendly assistance this year as we have in the past.
Non- Warranty exercise great care to have all seeds, bulbs, trees or plants pure and reliable, but we give no
warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of
any seeds, bulbs, trees or plants we send out, and we will not in any way be responsible for the crop. If the purchaser
does not accept the goods on these terms they are at once to be returned.
Our Guarantee We ourselves responsible for the safe arrival of goods in first-class condition. In this way
you are protected against loss. If the goods do not arrive in first-class condition do not set
them out — simply return the goods and wrapper to us at our expense and the order will be refilled.
Complaints or Praises ^ our goods and treatment please you, tell others; if anything is wrong, tell us, so we can
make it right. Our best efforts will be given to filling all orders in a satisfactory manner.
Please Order Early The ^est time *s Just as soon as this catalogue reaches you. The bulbs may not have arrived
by then, but your order will be given immediate attention, and be filled just as soon as the
stock arrives. At the first of the season there are no sorts sold out, and, besides, the bulbs flower much better when
planted early.
Name and Address Please be sure to write plainly your full name and address, when sending us your order and
remittance. Send also the name of the nearest express office, if bulbs are to come that wray,
when it’s different from the postoffice. We send bulbs by express unless postage for the different sorts as shown in
the catalogue accompanies the order.
How to Remit In making remittances, you may send small amounts in postage stamps. Postoffice or Express
Money Orders or Bank Drafts are satisfactory and need not be registered. Cash should always be
sent by registered mail.
Advantages of Buying Nursery Stock Now
Dormant in Fall Nursery Stock we have herein listed is dormant in the fall, and can be easily and safely handled.
In the spring the weather may come off warm so early as to start the buds before the customer
can receive and plant. It is wise to have the stock delivered in the fall, even when planting cannot be done till spring.
It can be trenched in carefully and the earliest moment can be seized for setting it out.
Continuous spring rains often cause much loss of time, which could be avoided if the stock were right on hand
so that one could take advantage of the first few clear days.
Gets Well Established Stock planted in the fall gets well established in its new position and so gets an earlj
start in the spring, making a good growth the first season.
Fruit the First Summer When Strawberries, Currants, Raspberries, Blackberries, Gooseberries, etc., are planted
in the fall, they produce the first summer. Rose bushes and Shrubs set out in the fall
bloom freely the first summer.
Gets Benefit of Early Rains Nursery Stock planted in the fall gets the benefit of late fall and early winter rains,
whereas stock planted in the spring frequently has to fight for life through a dry
season, resulting in a stunted growth.
Helpful Hints on Growing Flowers From Bulbs
are not only the easiest cared
for of all flowers, but they are
certain to bloom abundantly.
Bulb Flowers
Plant Farlv Outdoor planting should be done
l mill I-tariy early in the fall to make certain
of strong, healthy plants, vigorous foliage and
beautiful blossoms.
A 1 o*l Bulbs grow well in most
Any vlOOQ OOll any g00(j garden soil, if a
little time is taken to prepare the beds before the
bulbs are planted. During September give the
ground a good coating of well-rotted manure and
turn over the soil with a spade, about a foot deep,
mixing the manure well into the soil, breaking up
the lumps. A dressing of bone meal will also
prove valuable.

CELOGLASS
Cel - O - Glass is a
high-grade, low-priced
substitute for glass.
It is unaffected by
rain, hail, snow, sun
or wind; it can be
bent or cut to any de-
sired shape and is
practically indestruct-
ible. It is made by
treating mesh wire
cloth in such manner
that the open spaces
between the strands
are filled with a clear,
transparent, tough but flexible substance which will
not rub or peel off, dry up or become brittle. It is rad-
ically different from ordinary glass, yet in practical use
answers all demands and offers very decided advantages.
Excellent for cold frames, hotbeds, greenhouse sides
and partitions, poultry house windows, barn doors, win-
dows, etc. Weight per roll of 300 sq. ft., 44 lbs. Per
sq. ft., 16c. Boll 3 ft. wide, 100 lineal feet, $45.45.

uses sent free of charge upon request.

THE HOUSE OF QUALITY
CHAS. C. NAVLET CO.’S Hyacinth Bulbs IMPORTED STOCK
Our First Size
For those who desire to grow and produce Hyacinths
of the grandest and largest size and finest quality,
we recommend NAVLET’S FIRST SIZE HYACINTH BULBS. They are
extra choice, large, round, solid bulbs. Selected especially for the most
critical trade. They will produce the extra large, handsome flowers so
highly prized, and are excellent for forcing and pot culture.
This grade is usually bought, and we sell more of this
Bedding Size
DING- HYACINTHS are extra selected bulbs.
Outdoor Culture
The preferable season is September, October, No-
vember and December, but bulbs give good results
if planted later. Hyacinths should be planted from two to three inches
below the surface and five to eight inches apart. After flowering, if the
beds are wanted for late Spring planting, take up the bulbs, top and roots,
and “heel in” in some corner of the garden until the bulbs mature, after
which they should be spread out in an airy room to dry, and kept in a cool
dark place until time for replanting the following autumn.
* j i« Bulbs for winter blooming can be planted from Sep-
Indoor Lulturc tember until December — the earlier the better. Plant
one bulb to a four-inch pot, or three to a six-inch pot. Then place in a
cool dark cellar, watering wrell. The whole success of pot culture depends
on getting the roots well established in the pots, at a low temperature,
before you begin to force the tops. From three to four weeks is not too
long to leave them in a dark place. After this the bloom is easily devel-
oped by giving light, heat and water, and one can have a supply of flowers
from Christmas until Easter by regulating the time of bringing them to
light.
f-'ii p. i. When it is desired to grow Hyacinths or Narcissus
vji&SS culture in -water they should be placed so that the base of the
bulb merely touches the water. The glass should then be set in a cool,
dark place, until filled with roots, when they should be brought into the
light. Every few days fill the glass with water. Give as much fresh air
as possible in a temperature of about 60 degrees until the spikes are de-
veloped.

Navlet’s Darwin Tulips
Darwins are the most satisfactory of all Tulips. They are
stately in appearance, attaining a height of 24 to 30 inches,
and producing beautiful globular flowers of heavy texture,
in a large range of colors. They bloom in April and May
and are unsurpassed for bedding and cutting.
Tulips are a very satisfactory flower, both for garden and
pot culture. They require very little attention and will grow
in any fairly good soil.
Plant bulbs about 3 inches below the surface, eight to nine
inches apart.
Prepare your soil by applying a coating of bone meal or
pulverized sheep manure (listed in this book) and deep
spading.

HOLLAND GROWN DAFFODILS BEST VARIETIES
( Jur list contains the best Daffodils. Daffodil blossoms are
borne on tall strong stems and are exceptionally fine for cut-
ting. They are very effective in beds or used for borders,
the long stems with their graceful yellow or yellow and
white blossoms standing above the foliage. The bulbs can
be put away and kept for a second year planting. After
they are through blossoming allow the top growth to dry
back to the surface of the soil, then lift the bulbs and keep
in a dark dry place in dry sand or saw-dust. Daffodils bloom
in March and April.
For pot culture plant 2 or 3 bulbs in a 6-inch pot, leaving
the top of each bulb just above the surface. Keep well
watered in a dark place for two or three weeks before bring-
ing in the house. For outdoor culture plant the bulbs about
4 inches below the surface and 8 to 12 inches apart.

beautiful grown in shallow bowls of wrater, with enough fancy
pebbles to prevent them from toppling over when in bloom. A

flowers throughout the winter.

PANAMA EXPOSITION MIXTURE
Visitors to the Panama-Pacific Exposition during 1915, who were there
during July, August and September, will never forget the blaze of brilliance
that greeted them when they first beheld the Gladiolus on exhibition there.
Flower lovers from all parts of the world gathered around them daily to
watch them in their matchless beauty, and the chief attractions were the
ones that won the prizes.
As soon as the medal winners’ awards were announced we arranged to
buy some of the prize winning bulbs and it is from these prize winners that
our Panama Exposition Mixture is grown. They are well worthy the name.
This mixture consists of the choicest varieties, and the richest in color-
ings known in Gladiolus. If you were to pay $20 per dozen for any Gladiolus
they would not excel in richness of color or sizes of flowers. Some are ruffled
on long stems. Every bulb producing flowers of mammoth size. If you are a
lover of Gladiolus do not fail to buy at least one dozen of the Panama Exposi-
tion Mixture. When you see the beautiful flowers they produce, you will
say they are truly wonderful.

FARM SEEDS
WRITE FOR QUANTITY PRICES
This is truly the farmers’ friend. It stands
drought and dampness. As a fertilizing, land-
enriching' crop it is unequaled. One seeding
stands for years. All cattle are fond of it. If
possible sow with Oats at the rate of 20 pounds
per acre. It should be cut when in full bloom,
but do not cut too early, and be careful not to
allow it to become water soaked after cutting.
Don’t feed hungry stock on it when green, as
it is likely to bloat them, for they invariably
overeat. Lb. 40c, postpaid; 10 lbs. §3.50, de-
livered free. Larger quantities, write for quo-
tations.
BURR CLOVER

cultivated. Grows all winter and well into the

ture grasses, produces an immense quantity of forage, and
well adapted for growing in orchards. 35 lbs. required per
acre. Lb. 35c, postpaid; 10 lbs. $3.00, delivered free.
SUDAN GRASS
An annual forage plant used both for hay and silo. Cut
with a mower just after full bloom. Two cuttings are assured,
and in some places four. It yields from two to eight tons per
acre, depending upon whether irrigated or not. Plant late in
spring after frost is past. If drilled in rows 18 inches apart,
four to six pounds per acre is required; if in rows 36 inches
apart, two to four pounds per acre, and if sown broadcast 15
pounds per acre. Lb. 30c, postpaid; 10 lbs. $2.50, delivered free.

feed and for cover crops. Lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.60, delivered free.

able if allowed to mature the seed when the dry vine can be
plowed under and the seed used to grind as feed for stock. If
for green manure sow broadcast, using 80 pounds per acre. If
for seed for fodder, sow in rows, 3 feet apart, using 40 pounds
per acre. Lb. 20c, postpaid; 10 lbs. $1.50, delivered free.

support for the plants, or in spring with Oats or Barley. Per

crowds. Sow 8 to 10 pounds to the acre. Lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $8.50, postpaid.

THIS IS THE EARLIEST— HANDSOMEST— JUIC-

It clearly outclasses all other varieties. It is four
weeks ahead of the next earliest berry — and is at its
best when other varieties are just beginning to ripen.
It is larger than such well-known berries as the Ivit-
tatiny, Crandall and Lawton — juicier than any berry
we have ever tasted — more luscious and richer in
flavor than any other — and is by all odds the hand-
somest looking berry ever shown in the market. IF
PLANTED THIS SPRING OR SUMMER IT
WILL BEAR SMALL CROP THIS YEAR— and it
is the only Blackberry that will bear the first year.
While not entirely seedless, it is so nearly so that the
few small, round, soft seeds are not noticed in eating.
As a profit producer it is unbeatable — and as a berry
for one’s own table it is unsurpassed. ORDER AT

delicious flavor, firm, and can be shipped hundreds of miles.
Renaree is the heaviest bearer and bears a fair crop the first year.
Hundreds of acres have been set out to Renaree the past two years
for market purposes. This berry is being put through a cooling
process and shipped to the Eastern markets at a profit. The
Renaree is a very prolific bearer and will bear two to one more
berries than any other Raspberry. We especially recommend this
new-comer in Raspberries and know you will be well repaid if you
plant a few. 20c each, postpaid; $1.50 for 10, postpaid; $10.00 for

PHENOMENAL BERRY
A Delicious Cross Between the Raspberry and the
Blackberry-— A Triumph of Luther Burbank
Of this extraordinary berry Mr. Bur-
bank says: “It is larger than the largest
berry ever known. It has a bright
crimson raspberry color, is as produc-
tive as could be desired, and the most
delicious of all berries for canning and
drying. The berries grow in clusters of
5 to 10 or more each, and the individual
berries measure three inches around one
way by four inches the other way, and
weigh one-quarter ounce each — even
larger ones were weighed and measured
last season.” We have found this berry
to be all that is claimed for it — phe-
nomenal in every particular. It tastes
and looks like both the Raspberry and
the Blackberry. It is one of the most
remarkable of all new fruits introduced
during this generation. A berry of
sterling worth in every particular. It is
twice as large and in many ways supe-
rior to the new Loganberry, which is be-
ing so highly praised. 35c each, post-

CAROLINA
12 for 40c, Delivered Tree 100 for $2.50, Postpaid
This variety is superior to most other varieties. It is earlier, bearing
a full crop eight to twelve weeks after transplanting, and sends out more
runners and sets more good strong plants quicker than any other variety.
It bears berries continuously all summer; the stems are strong, sup-
porting the fruit well above the ground; the foliage is profuse, shading
the berries from the sun and protecting the roots from frost.
Says a well-known grower: “Two hundred plants set out in March
yielded a full crop of berries in May and June, and before the following
March fourteen thousand plants were sold and more than two thousand
plants remained in the row. The second year this row matured berries
two weeks earlier than any other variety and bore good large berries all
summer.” We have only a limited supply of plants which we offer at low
prices of 12 for 40c, delivered free; 100 for $2.50.

For years our Giant Flowering Ruffled Pansies have been
the delight and admiration of Pansy lovers everywhere. We
have developed truly marvelous strains — Pansies with blooms
of extraordinary size — wonderfully ruffled, and undulated from
center to circumference. The flowers are not only gigantic in
proportions, but are nothing short of perfect in form, and the
colorings are indescribably rich and varied. They include
every tint and hue in endless variations and combinations, are
gloriously blotched, blended, mottled, striped, and margined.
The blooms are borne on long stiff wiry stems well above the
foliage. Their substance and thick texture enables them to
present BOLD OPEN FACES EVEN DURING RAINY AND
WINDY WEATHER AND ON HOT SUMMER DAYS WHEN
OTHER PANSIES WOULD BE BEATEN OR WILTED
DOWN. The plants we send are of the very best — strong, full
of life, with large vigorous roots. We absolutely guarantee
them to please you completely. You will make no mistake in
ordering Chas. C. Navlet Co.’s Prize Winning Giant-Flowering
Ruffled Pansy Plants.

A BEAUTIFUL SINGLE
CALIFORNIA — The largest and most productive Violet in cultivation. The
flowers are single in form, and while almost as large as a silver dollar,
they have that sweet simplicity peculiar to the Violet. The color is pure,
rich violet-blue and does not fade. The flowers are borne on long stems,
10 to 14 inches in length, well above the foliage, which is an unusual
feature among Violets. The foliage is especially dark, very large and
thick, and impervious to disease of all kinds. This great Violet is grown
by the millions for its flowers, which bring the highest prices. Flants, 12
for 50c, postpaid; 100 for $3.50, postpaid.
MARIE LOUISE — A superb double. This beautiful Violet is a great favorite.
It is a prolific bloomer and will thrive in shady places where most plants
will not do well. The foliage is extremely luxuriant and of a pleasing
glossy green. The large double blooms are exquisitely perfumed and are
borne on long, strong stems. They are a rich mauve in color. This superb
Violet is a wonderful keeper — and will stand a six days’ trip in shipping —
we have proven this in our own experience. It would be Impossible to say
too much for the Marie Louise. Flants, 12 for 50c, postpaid; $3.50 per 100.
PRINCESS OF WALES — A glorious and very fragrant variety of fine liabit —
sturdy growth and justly famous for its early and continuous blooming
and the immense number of flowers it bears. It is a distinct type of the
California Violet — being a lighter purple. The flowers average larger
than a silver dollar, and are borne on gracefully poised stems from 12 to
14 inches long. Flants, 12 for 50c, postpaid; 100 for $3.50.
FURFLE KING — This California Giant Violet will give four times as many
blooms in season as the Princess of Wales — at the same time this is not
said in disparagement of the Princess of Wales, for this gigantic Violet is
in a class by itself and blooms are twice the size of the Purple King and
are borne on much longer stems. For size, order Princess of Wales — for
profusion of flowers, order the Purple King. You have never seen a Violet
bear so abundantly as this. It is a perfect marvel. And while the blooms
are of only medium size, they are, nevertheless, perfect in form with a
soft velvety sheen that is Indescribably attractive. One of the chief
features is the fact that they will keep a week after picking. The San
Francisco and Bay nurserymen grow as many Purple King Violets as any
other sort. 12 choice plants, 75c, postpaid; 100 plants for $5.00.
DOUBLE SWANLY WHITE — A reliable and liberal bloomer. The exquisitely
fragrant flowers are of immaculate whiteness, perfectly double, and of a
very large size. This is the only White Violet that is extensively grown
by professional florists. Flants, 12 for 50c, postpaid; 100 for $3.50.

Culture in Glasses. —
To grow Hyacinths in
water, they should be
placed so that the base
of the bulb merely
touches the water. The
glasses should then be
set in a cool, dark closet,
or in the cellar, until
filled with roots, when
they may be brought
into the light. Give as
much fresh air as pos-
sible, and at a tempera-
ture of not over sixty
degrees, until the spikes
are developed. To put
them at once into a room
with a temperature of,
say seventy degrees
would cause them to
flower prematurely.

Insecticides and Fungicides
The “NAVCO” line adds to our already large assortment ot' needs for the Home Garden and Commercial Growers by
making a complete line and devoting a great amount of space to Insecticides and Fungicides. We have, as you will note,
placed different Insecticides and Fungicides on the market for the Home Garden and Commercial Grower under our trade
name of NAVCO. We assure you these sprays are all we claim for them and solicit your patronage should you be in need.
IF WANTED IN LARGER QUANTITIES WRITE OR WIRE FOR PRICES. THE FOLLOWING CANNOT BE SENT BY
MAIL EXCEPT WHERE NOTED, BUT MUST GO BY EXPRESS OR FREIGHT. PRICES ON BARREL QUANTITIES SUB-
JECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
DIRECTIONS ON EVERY PACKAGE
“NAVCO” MISCIBLE OIL
An ideal spray for the control of BLACK SCALE, BROWN
APRICOT SCALE, SOFT BROWN SCALE, WOOLY APHIS,
PEAR THRIPS, etc. This spray stimulates the tree and has
a softening effect on the bark.
This oil mixes readily with water to form a white solution.
If the trees are heavily covered with MOSS and LICHENS and
infested with SAN JOSE SCALE or ITALIAN PEAR SCALE
the addition of Caustic Soda improves the killing power of the
spray. 1 qt. can, 40c each; 1 gal. can, 75c each; 5 gal. can,
$2.50; mailable. (If desired in barrel lots, let us quote you.)
“NAVCO” BORDEAUX POWDER
The best and most generally used spray for BLIGHT, MIL-
DEW, CURLED LEAF, PEAR SCAB, BROWN ROT, etc.
In addition to its value as a fungicide it often appears to
have a tonic effect on fruit trees when applied early, as in No-
vember or December spraying. Bordeaux sprayed Apricot and
Peach trees show more profuse blooming and darker, more
glossy foliage. 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50. (If desired in large
quantities, let us quote you.)
“NAVCO” HOME MIX BORDEAUX
POWDER
Our “Home-Mixed” Bordeaux Powder is put up in two sep-
arate packages. The Bluestone preparation, No. 1, dissolves
immediately in water, the same weight of the Lime prepara-
tion, No. 2, goes into the tank after the Bluestone is dissolved,
thus there is no loss of time which so often happens when
making the home-made Bordeaux. A spreader is incorporated
into the Lime, so “Home-Mixed” makes a spray which sus-
pends and spreads better. 2 lbs., one each No. 1 and No. 2, 50c;
10 lbs., five each No. 1 and No. 2, $2.00. (If desired in larger
quantities, let us quote you.)
“NAVCO” LIME AND SULPHUR SOLUTION
In offering a standard strength Lime-Sulphur solution we
are convinced that there is less likelihood of danger of burn-
ing or other injury, also less loss from crystallization in con-
tainers, such as experienced with more concentrated solutions.
Recommended for PEACH TWIG BORERS, PEAR LEAF
BLISTER, RED SPIDER EGGS, MOSS and LICHENS.
PEACH LEAF CURL, PEACH BLIGHT, PEAR and APPLE
SCAB, etc. Directions for use on each container. 1 qt. can,
30c; 1 gal. can, 60c; 5 gal. can, $2.00; mailable. (If wanted in
larger quantities, let us quote you.)
“NAVCO” DRY LIME AND SULPHUR
For dormant spraying against such scale insects as San
Jose Scale, Oyster Shell Scale, Peach Blight and Peach Curl
Leaf.
. Summer spraying against such fungus diseases as
SCAB, PEAR SCAB, against Red Spider or Mites on
citrus or against Red Spider on deciduous fruits. 1 lb., 35c;
5 lbs., $1.25 ; 10 lbs., $2.25 ; mailable. (If desired in larger
quantities let us quote you.)
“NAVCO” CRUDE OIL EMULSION
Crude Oil Emulsion is 70% crude oil so perfectly emulsified
that it can be used in the hardest waters. For trees infested
with ITALIAN PEAR SCALE, SAN JOSE SCALE or RED
SPIDER EGGS use 35 to 40 gallons to make 200 gallons spray.
For MOSS or LICHENS add 4 to 8 lbs. Caustic Soda. 1 qt. can,
25c; 5 gal. can, $1.25; mailable. (If desired in larger quanti-
ties, let us quote you.)
“NAVCO” DISTILLATE EMULSION
This is a clean, white emulsion made especially for the con-
trol of BROWN APRICOT SCALE, BLACK SCALE and SOFT
BROWN SCALE. It combines perfectly with Bordeaux and is
often used in this manner, as it helps to make the Bordeaux
spread and does away with the necessity for two applications
of spray. That is where it is necessary to spray with oil for
scale control and to apply Bordeaux for Brown Rot or Leaf
Curl control. 1 qt. can, 25c; 1 gal. can, 50c; 5 gal. can, $2.00;
mailable. (If desired in larger quantities, let us quote you.)
“NAVCO” WHALE OIL SOAP
Dissolved with water, makes a plant spray that cannot be
beat. House plants and palms should be sprayed or sponged
at least once each month to assure health and as a precaution
against scale. 1-lb. can 15c, postpaid. Write for price in
larger quantities.
“NAVCO” WEED DESTROYER
The everlasting job of pulling weeds is only too well known
by every owner of a home.
Pulling weeds removes the tops only, and these reappear a
few days later.
Destroy the roots and this will be impossible. One applica-
tion does the trick. One gallon makes 100 with water.
Use only on walks, driveways, tennis courts, etc. Do not
use on your lawn. One qt., 75c; 1 gal., $1.85 (not mailable).
SLUG KILLER
PRUNING COMPOUND
Hydrated lime for killing slugs and snails. 3-lb. pkg., 15c;
10-lb. pkg., 45c. Mailable.
HOOKER PARACIDE FOR
BORERS
(Send for Circular)
The Peach Tree Borer is the same borer
that attacks nearly all stone fruit trees,
such as Apricot, Peach, Plum, Prune and
Almond.
Para-di'clorobenzine is the only known
chemical which successfully controls the
Tree Borer.
The use of Paracide does away with cut-
ting and digging for Borers. Simply sprin-
kle one ounce around each tree, cover with
dirt and the fumes kill the borers without
injuring the trees.
Also may be used to good effect in the
spring.

DUSTING SULPHUR
(Registered)
Specially Ground for Us
Recommended especially for dust-
ing. It adheres to the leaves and pre-
vents waste. Neutral is a superfine
flour of Sulphur, 99 per cent pure.
Neutral is especially ground for dust-
ing purposes. Neutral is ground as
fine as flour, without reducing the
Sulphur contents.
A special finely ground crude Sul-
phur which by laboratory tests made
February 21, 1923, shows 93.22%
passing through a 200-mesh screen.
The absence of acid content makes
it less severe on the eyes of the user
and reduces likelihood of burning ten-
der leaves and shoots.
It is unnecessary to add a quantity
of lime, gypsum, silica, etc., to “Neutral Brand” Dusting Sul-
phur because it i's put through a special process to make it
free flowing and prevent balling up and packing in dusting
