ARMSTRONG
CITRUS TREES

Armstrong

SELECT CALIFORNIA

‘grown from

Pedigreed Buds

For 40 years Armstrong Citrus trees
have been planted throughout California
and many of the largest and finest pro-
ducing orchards in the State are planted
with Armstrong trees, while thousands
of California home gardens have one or
more Armstrong Citrus trees producing
delicious golden fruit.

Citrus trees can be planted at almost
any time during the year in California,
although the spring months are prefer-
able. The trees are usually supplied
with a ball of earth on the roots but
may be supplied with bare roots if de-
sired. The prices are the same for both
bare root trees, which weigh two to
three pounds each packed, and the
balled trees, which weigh from forty to
sixty pounds each.

With our careful methods of packing,
we ship citrus trees safely to any part
of the world, and Armstrong trees may
be found growing and producing in all
of the citrus-producing countries in the
world, including Spain, Palestine, Mor-
occo, South Africa, India, Australia, and
the countries of Central and South

America. For long distance shipment the
earth is entirely removed from the roots
and the tops cut back to reduce the
weight.

Prize Winning Trees

At the Los Angeles County Fair, Cali-
fornia’s biggest horticultural exhibition,
held in September 1933, Armstrong Cit-
tus Trees won first prize over all other
competitors. We invite prospective
planters to look at our trees and con-
vince themselves of their high quality.

California’s Famous
Washington Navel
Orange-

Thompson Grapefruit. (Pink Marsh Seed-
less). A few years ago in Florida a limb
was discovered on a Marsh Seedless

Grapefruit tree which bore fruit with de-
cidedly pink flesh. Due to quarantine regu-
lations, propagating wood of this novel
fruit has not been brought into California

until recently, and trees were first offered
by us last season. We have a larger and
finer lot of trees for 1934, and some of the
big 2-year trees priced below will be pro-
ducing fruit within the next two years.
ust imagine a pink Grapefruit for break-
ast.

The New Pink Grapefruit

Due to the fact that there are no trees
of this variety in California which are old
enough to bear fruit as yet, we cannot
definitely state how much color the fruit
will have under our climatic conditions,
but we are offering it as a novelty which

“may prove to be something decidedly dif-

ferent. And regardless of the amount of
color that it may show, we think we can
safely say that in every other way it will
have the same high quality of the Marsh
Seedless, since this variety is merely a
sport of the world's finest Grapefruit.

Oranges

See Prices next page.

Washington Navel. The famous winter orange
of California which easily heads the list of all
oranges, and by reason of its superiority, is
largely responsible for California's world-wide
citrus fame. The fruit is large, with the char-
acteristic navel at the blossom end, and in
flavor, juiciness, and general high quality, it
excels any other orange. December to April.

Mediterranean Sweet. A medium to large
fruit, rich orange-yellow in color, and of ex-
cellent quality, ripening between the Navel
and the Valencia, and a little hardier than
either. March to June.

Ruby Blood. This is the best Blood Orange.
Of medium size, round, very sweet and juicy.
In mid-season the flesh is streaked with red
and when fully ripe is blood-red, the color
extending through the peel to show a red
blush on the outside. The bright red juice
is valuable for beverages, and the fruit meets
any home use. February to May.

Thompson Navel. Similar to the Washington
Navel, but matures about one month earlier,
and has a thinner, smoother peel. Beautiful
deep orange fruit of excellent quality, and of
commercial importance in the early ripening
citrus districts of Northern and Central Cali-
fornia. November to April.

The Hardy Dwart
Meyer Lemons.
See next Page.

Valencia. The best summer orange the world
over is the Valencia. The Washington Navel
and the Valencia are the two standard com-
mercial oranges of California. As the Navel
season closes in the late spring, the Valencias
begin to ripen and are available throughout
the summer and fall months. The medium-
sized fruit is juicy and sweet, with few seeds,
and the tree is the largest of all citrus varie-
ties. Ripens April to October.

Chamoudi Orange. The new orange from

Palestine. See page 4

The Finest Winter Orange
For Home Planting

Carter Navel. Several years ago our atten-
tion was called to several trees of an espe-
cially fine type of the Washington Navel. We
have observed this fruit for several years and
we believe that for home use there is no bet-
ter orange grown. The fruit is medium to
large and has all the characteristics of the
ordinary navel except that it has a very thin
smooth skin, is much juicier and sweeter and
has a wonderful flavor. The skin is too soft
and tender to ship and keep well commer-
cially, but there is nothing finer for the home
planting.

Carter Navels in all sizes are priced 50c per
tree higher than other Oranges. See next
column.

Lemons

One or two lemon trees will supply
the household with an abundance of
juicy, beautiful fruit, and there are so
many uses for lemons that no home
garden should be without a tree. Lemon
trees are not quite as hardy as orange
trees, but for home use may safely be
planted anywhere except in the very
cold interior districts.

Eureka. The leading lemon for both com-
mercial and home planting; fruit uniform, of
medium size, of the highest quality. The seeds
are few and the juice is abundant. The tree
is almost thornless. It bears continuously all
through the year and ripens most of its fruit
in the summer.

Lisbon. A very large, heavily foliaged, but
thorny tree, somewhat hardier than other va-
rieties. The fruit is of medium size, with few
seeds, abundant juice, and superior quality.
December to May.

Ponderosa. A novelty fruit for home plant-
ing, the fruit attaining enormous size, often
12 inches in circumference. The tree is dwarf,
quite hardy, and begins to bear its good
quality fruit immediately after planting.

Villa Franca. There are several types of
Villa Franca Lemon, and the superior type
which we are propagating was selected by
the late Mr. E. S. Lewis, a famous lemon
pruner of Southern California, and some of
the finest lemon orchards in the state have
developed from this strain. Characterized by
heavy crops and beautiful uniform fruit. De-
cember to May.

A Wonderful Lemon
For All of California

Meyer Lemon (Chinese Dwarf Lemon). This
splendid semi-dwarf lemon was introduced
from China a few years ago and we consider
it to be one of the finest hardy citrus fruits
for all of California. It starts to bear the sec-
ond year, and has large, almost round, deep
orange fruits of beautiful appearance which
look almost like oranges but which will equal
in quality the finest lemons of any other va-
riety. It is quite hardy, much more so than
any of the other lemons, and makes a beau-
tiful ornamental tree when hung with its rich
orange fruits.

It Grows Anywhere

The Meyer thrives either on the coast or in
the hottest interior valleys almost anywhere
in California, giving equal satisfaction under
all conditions. It may be grown either as a
full sized tree or will make a beautiful hedge
which can be trimmed to any desired height.
The plants are laden at all times during the
year with the beautiful golden fruit and frag-
rant blooms, the flowers being larger and
more fragrant than those of the orange. They
may also be grown as tubbed or potted
plants, since they are easily kept down te
almost any size by occasional pruning. See
additional information concerning Meyer Lem-
on as a potted plant on next page.

They Fruit Immediately

The tree-shaped plants listed below will
make a large tree more quickly but are not
so ornamental as the bushy type. Those in
5-gallon containers should fruit next summer.

THE SWEET, JUICY, RICHLY COLORED FRUITS OF ALGERIAN TANGERINE

Armstrong Selec}

The Delicious Tangerines
The Tangerines, or Mandarin Oranges as they are sometimes called, are char-
acterized by their somewhat flattened shape, their loose skin which is easily peeled
off, and by the way in which the sections of the fruit separate readily from one

another.

They are sweet, juicy, and have a delicious flavor of their own, and

because they are so easy to eat and because the trees bear quickly and heavily,
a tree or two in the home planting will mean pleasure for all the family.

Algerian. We particularly like to recom-
mend this splendid Tangerine. In the first
place, it is one of the most beautiful citrus
trees in cultivation, with its dark green,
glossy, compact head of foliage. The fruit is
most attractive as well, being a rich deep
reddish-orange in color, sweet and mild in
flavor, and it is particularly valuable because
it ripens early in the winter, several months
earlier than Dancy. For the coastal area or
for the hottest interior valleys Algerian will
give splendid satisfaction. December to March.

Dancy Tangerine. This is the leading com-
mercial Tangerine and the most popular of
the Mandarin family, a medium to large fruit,
intense orange red in color, firm in texture,
flattened in shape, exceedingly juicy and
highly flavored. The tree is a strong grower
and bears enormous quantities of fruit. Feb-
ruary to May.

King. This is the largest of all the Man-
darins, the fruit being often as much as five
inches in diameter with a skin which is
rougher than the other Mandarins and adher-
ing very loosely to the flesh. The fruit is
deep orange in color, with few seeds, and a
most delightful flavor. The trees bear ex-
tremely heavy crops even when young, and
it is the latest Tangerine to ripen. March to
August.

we grow, and for this reason can be planted
where other citrus fruits will not succeed. It
is also the earliest Tangerine to ripen, and its
big, flat, loose-skinned, deep orange fruits are
sweet, tender, and juicy. The tree is semi-
dwarf, of spreading habit, with rich dark
green foliage, bearing while very young.
November to April..

Willow-leaved Mandarin. In this variety we
have the most beautiful of all the citrus trees,
with dense, dark green, willow-like foliage in
a dense, symmetrical head. The medium-sized
fruit is deep yellow, with very thin skin and
a most delicious spicy aromatic flavor which
is not excelled in any other tangerine. Jan-
uary to May.

Four Citrus Fruits

Combination Citrus. For planters who have
space for but one citrus tree and for those
who wish to have something unusual in their
garden, we have budded into large trees of
the Marsh Seedless Grapefruit three other va-
rieties of citrus—Washington Navel Orange,
Valencia Orange, and Barats Lemon, and
within two or three years after planting you
will have several citrus fruits ripening at once,
all on the same tree. $4.00 each.

Hawaiian Pomelo. A citrus novelty from the
Hawaiian Islands, of no value to eat but
enormous in size, almost one foot in diameter.

The Piquant Limes

The Lime is a very compact package of very highly flavored juice, and every-
body recognizes the fact that limeade is one of the most delicious and refreshing
of all drinks. Limes produce fruit quickly and bear heavy crops, but they are more
susceptible to frost than other citrus fruits and should only be grown in the warmer
sections of California. Rangpur is the hardiest of the following varieties, and in
colder sections the Eustis Limequat (see preceding page) should be planted and
will serve all the purposes for which the Lime is used.

Bearss Seedless. This is a seedless form of
the famous Tahiti Lime and is the largest and
finest of all, the fruit resembling a small
lemon. It is very juicy and has all of the good
qualities one could ask for in a lime, its vig-
orous tree ripening large quantities of fruit in
the summer when limes are most in demand.
This variety and the Mexican Lime have both
been planted to some extent commercially in
California and will continue to be so planted.
See illustration on preceding page.

Mexican. The strongly acid green fruits of
small size, used in the soda fountains, are of
this old standard variety. The tree is semi-
dwarf and takes very little room but bears

extremely heavy crops and is largely planted
commercially for this reason. Fruit ripens all
through the year, with the largest crop in the
spring.

Rangpur. To look at this extraordinary fruit
from India one would never suspect that it
was a lime, for it looks exactly like a Tan-
gerine both in shape and color. But the beau-
tiful orange-red fruits with deep orange flesh
have a most delicious lime flavor, and the
tree, which grows larger than the other Limes,
is also hardier and bears enormous quantities
of fruit.

Tangelos, the New Citrus Hybrids

The Tangelos are new citrus fruits originated a few years ago by scientists of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture by crossing the Tangerine and the Pomelo, pro-
ducing a number of hybrids varying in characteristics, but all retaining the best
qualities of their parents. They are remarkably fine for home use and eventually
we believe will acquire some commercial importance when there are enough of
them to warrant establishing a market. They are as easily grown as any citrus
fruit, bear very heavy crops, are just as hardy as Oranges, and come into bearing
when very young. When planted for home use, we guarantee that they will be
enjoyed immensely by the entire family and will often be chosen in preference

to the finest oranges.

large, almost round, smooth, and a beautiful

a distinct character. Ripens early with Thorn-
ton, and from what we have seen of it, we
can highly recommend it.

Wekiwa Tangelo. This is a Tangelo crossed
back again on a Tangerine. The most distinc-

is extremely sweet and very

AVOCADOS

Thick-Skinned Avocados

This group of Avocados are of Central American origin, have thick shell-like or
leathery skins, and include most of the commercial sorts for long distance shipping.
They are comparatively tender but will grow wherever the Lemon thrives and are
not injured by temperatures above 28 degrees. As a rule, they thrive best near the

Coast or in the sheltered foothill regions.

Anaheim. This splendid Avocado is rapidly
gaining a great reputation as a money-maker,
particularly in the coastal districts where it is
being planted to a considerable extent. The
fruit is oval, glossy green, weighing 18 to 24
ounces, and the tree is tall and slender, quite
suitable for interplanting with other varieties
of Avocados or with other fruit trees. We
highly recommend it either for home planting
or as a profitable commercial kind. June to
September.

Benik. The California Avocado Association
rates only Fuerte and Nabal ahead of Benik
as a commercial fruit, and it is excellent to
lengthen the season along with the other two.
A one pound, pear shaped, purplish-maroon
fruit. An exceptionally heavy bearer. May to
August.

Dickinson. A medium size oval fruit with a
thick, rough, pebbled, dark purple skin. It
is one of the most consistent heavy bearing
varieties, and the quality is of the very high-
est. Does not keep well when shipped East,
but we highly recommend it for home use and
local markets. March to August.

Itzamna. A splendid Guatemalan fruit which
looks remarkably good. Pear-shaped; 14 to
16 ounces; light green skin; excellent quality,
and adaptable for home use and local mar-
kets cr shipping. Tall, spreading, rapid grow-
ing tree. August to October.

Each year in thousands of additional homes the Avocado is becom-
ing a staple article of diet. If varieties of suitable hardiness are
planted, Avocado Trees will thrive and bear in almost any section of
California except the mountain and desert regions, and they are so
handsome in appearance that they are worth having on the home
place for their ornamental value alone. A little care in the selection
of varieties will insure ripe Avocados during every month in the year.

Armstrong Avocado Trees are all grown upon selected hardy Mex-
ican seedlings, which are handled in such a way as to insure the
finest possible root development, and we use the utmost care in the
selection of the buds. Mr. L. E. Nigh, under whose personal supervision

Princess. A green, medium-sized, pear shaped fruit, weigh-
ing about one pound, which seems to be particularly well
adapted to the foothill districts, and the fruit is of such high
quality and of such excellent appearance that it deserves a
thorough commercial trial. August to October.

Queen. This is the largest fruited Avocado on our list. Its
big, purplish-maroon, pear shaped fruits weighing ll/, to 2
pounds. Because of its extremely high quality, it should be
in every coastal planting. A beautiful, spreading, but rather
tender tree. March to October.

For Early Fruiting, Try Lyon

Lyon. For early and prolific bearing, the Lyon has no supe-
rior since it usually bears the second year after planting. For
quality also, there is nothing better. Fruit large, 18 ounces;
pear-shaped, with a rough green skin. The tree is an upright,
exceedingly slender grower, requires very little space and is
suitable for inter-planting. The trees are extremely difficult to
propagate, and just about the only good Lyon trees on the

malan and Mexican races of Avocados and combines the good qualities of both.
While Fuerte is slightly hardier than the other thick-skinned Avocados, it should
not be planted where the minimum temperatures go below 26 degrees.

For Summer Fruit

Nabal. Within the last several years Nabal has become the leading summer-
ripening commercial Avocado in California and ranks second only to Fuerte as a
profitable kind. Fruit round, 16 to 20 cunces, with a smooth leathery green skin
and small seed, of exceptionally fine quality. The name is a Guatemalan Indian
word meaning ‘‘abundance’’, so named because the parent tree produced un-
usually large crops, and all its California progeny are also displaying this char-

acteristic. June to September.

Hardy Thin-Skinned Avocados

The thin-skinned Mexican Avocados are quite hardy and usually
need no protection unless the thermometer goes below 23 degrees.
They are therefore best for planting in the interior valleys and may
safely be grown wherever oranges succeed. The fruits are smaller
than the thick-skinned kinds and because of their thin skins they
are not suitable for long distance shipping, but for home use and
local markets, they are entirely satisfactory.

For prices see preceding page.

Blackbird. The earliest thin skin on
our list and an exceptionally good
hardy Avocado for home planting.
Fruit elongated oval, of medium size
with a beautiful glossy purplish-black
skin. Mild and pleasant flavor. We
rate only Duke ahead of it as a hardy
Avocado. August to October.

Caliente. For bearing qualities this
hardy variety has no equal because
it starts to produce almost immedi-
ately after planting and the trees are
heavily loaded with fruit each year
thereafter. The purple fruits are
larger than most thin-skinned kinds,
and although the quality is not of
the highest, it is very popular with
planters who want fruit and lots of
it. September to October.

Ganter. A medium - sized, oval,
green - skinned fruit of exceptional
flavor and quality which has long
been known as one of the finest of
the hardy fruits. A never failing
bearer, and you will always have
fruit in its season. October to De-
cember.

its large size, handsome appearance
and good quality. The fruit is elon-

Duke—The Best
Hardy Avocado

Duke. We believe this splendid
kind to be the finest of all Avocados
for home planting in the colder in-
terior districts. It is an oval, green
fruit which looks like a small Fuerte
and is much larger than the average
thin-skinned Avocado. It is of excep-
tionally fine quality and will be en-
joyed in the home as much as any
Avocado that we grow. Any surplus
sells well in the local markets, for it
is a fine appearing fruit. Duke will
grow almost anywhere in the valleys
of California from the northern end
of the Sacramento Valley to the Mex-
ican border, and the tree is large,

Papayas require a warm, sunny, well drained location, with plenty of water
and fertilizer and must be kept growing rapidly in order to be a success. We
cannot guarantee them to be successful since there are only a comparatively few
locations where they will thrive in California. Since the male and female flowers
are borne on separate plants and there is no way of determining the sex in ad-
vance, at least three plants should be planted out together in order that at least

one of each sex will be present.

MANZANILLO OLIVES
The Finest California Ripe Olives are of this Variety.

Cherimoyas

The Cherimoya is considered by many to be the
finest of the sub-tropical fruits. It originally came
from the highlands of Ecuador and Peru and has
spread from there to most of the cool dry climates
of the tropics and semi-tropics, and wherever it is
grown is highly prized for the delicious flavor and
quality of the large, green, heart-shaped fruits,
which vary from a few ounces to more than five
pounds in weight (see illustration at right). The
flesh is smooth, white, and of a custard-like consist-
ency, giving the tree its common name of Custard
Apple. Chilled, cut in half, and eaten with a spoon,
there is no finer breakfast or dessert fruit grown in
California, or anywhere else. It is not a fruit that
one has to learn to like. You will fall in love with
it at first taste.

Cherimoyas Are Easy to Grow

Cherimoyas should not be planted where the tem-
perature goes below 25 degrees, but they will stand
light frosts without serious injury, and in all the
warmer sections of California the trees thrive read-
ily, attaining a height of from 12 to 20 feet, requiring
about the same culture as citrus trees. We have no
hesitation in recommending Cherimoyas as a com-
mercial fruit, because they keep and ship well, and
the few fruits now on the market are quickly dis-
posed of at good prices.

Two Fine Varieties

Booth. Medium to very large fruits weighing about three
pounds each. The skin is smoother than on most cherimoyas.

inent protuberances on the fruit. There is very little choice

Olive trees are sold by caliper rather than height, because it is
necessary to prune the trees back rather severely when digging and
shipping, and the trees are shipped with bare roots. For ornamental
planting, however, all the top may be left on if desired, and in this
case the trees are shipped with a ball of earth on the roots.

in California, and yet which should have a place in every garden. The plant
is a handsome, bushy, evergreen shrub, becoming 3 feet or more in height,
producing from September all through the winter into the late spring quanti-
ties of large, oval, bright yellow fruits splashed with violet, 4 to 6 inches in

length. These delicious edible fruits are tender, aromatic and juicy and have
a rich, fine flavor which everyone seems to like.

The fruits of the Pepino have many uses and may be chilled, cut in half, ,
and eaten like a melon or used in salads or jams. The plants are hardy
except in severe frosts and are easily grown in any soil in full sun or part
shade. They make a handsome potted plant for patios with their unusual
fruits and handsome dark blue flowers. We are quite enthusiastic about it
and believe that it is a fruit that everyone will enjoy in their garden.

Large plants, ready to fruit, $2.00 each; 4-inch pots, 85c each.

Pineapple Guavas— Feijoa

This attractive tree or large shrub attains a height of about 15 feet, but can be
made into a smaller compact shrub by pruning and can be used for a large hedge.
The upper side of the leaves is glossy green and the lower side silver-gray, while
the showy flowers are whitish-purple with conspicuous red stamens. The oval or
round fruit is delicious to eat and has a penetrating and delightful aroma which
lasts for days and is suggestive of pineapple, strawberries and bananas. A bowl
of fruit in the house will fill the room with delicate fragrance.

Passion Fruit

While scattered plants of the Passion
Fruit have been grown here and there
throughout the state for a number of
years, it is new in that only recently
have its commercial possibilities for
California been realized. In Australia
the Passion Fruit is largely grown on a
commercial scale, and it should be as
successful here.

It is a strong, rapidly growing, evergreen,

The plant is quite hardy almost anywhere in California and withstands tem-
peratures down to 10 degrees without injury. It grows rapidly and the foliage,
flowers and fruit combine to make it an interesting plant at all times.

Choiceana. We have coined this word, pro- Coolidge. A long oval fruit, not quite as

climbing vine which attains maturity in two
years and bears large quantities of glistening
purple fruits about the size of a hen’s egg.
These fruits are exceedingly fragrant and aro-
matic and may be eaten fresh or made into
any one of innumerable by-products such as
flavorings, syrups, jellies and ice cream.

Passion vines should be grown on strong
trellises commercially and planted about ten
by ten feet. They make a beautiful ornamen-
tal vine for fence or pergola around the home
and will do well in any good, well drained
soil. The vines are hardy and will be dam-
aged. only by severe frosts.

Guavas

For eating fresh and for jelly the Strawberry and Yellow Straw-
berry Guavas are the finest small fruits that can be grown in Calli-
fornia. They all make very handsome ornamental shrubs with their
beautiful evergreen foliage, and are splendid for a medium-sized
hedge. The fruit ripens September to November.

Strawberry Guava. Handsome, glossy-leaved, large shrub producing an
abundance of luscious deep red fruits about the size of a large strawberry,
highly prized for eating when fresh and unequalled for jelly. Hardy and
easily grown anywhere in California. Balled, bushy, 2-3 ft., $1.75 each, $15.00

strong. Grows rapidly to 6 or 8 feet, and more tender than the above two
varieties. Gal. containers, 1-2 ft., 50c.

The Fragrant Rose Apple

The Rose-Apple (Eugenia jambos) is a beautiful large
shrub or small tree, its broad, thick, shining green and bronze
foliage being luxuriant and handsome. It bears beautiful,

small, round, creamy-white, rose-flushed fruits, 11/2 to 2 inches

in diameter, deliciously rose-scented, which may be eaten
fresh or used to make fragrant jelly or candied fruit. Has
large showy flowers also. Quite hardy and will thrive any-
where in the coastal or foothill regions of Southern California.

The best time for planting all deciduous fruit trees in California
is during the months of January, February and March, since it is
only during that period that the trees are dormant and in good
condition to be dug and shipped. These trees are all handled with-
Our list includes the finest commercial
varieties for the market, as well as those kinds that are best for

We have listed the varieties of each fruit in the order of their
ripening, so that planters may easily select several kinds which will
provide fruit continuously through the ripening season.

We advise the use of tree protectors on all deciduous fruit trees
when they are first planted to avoid the danger of sunburn, since
sunburn is the starting point for many tree diseases and insect
injuries. They cost but a few cents and are a valuable insurance.

Apricots

By planting Newcastle, Royal, Tilton, and Moorpark, ripe apri-
cots can be obtained over a considerable period, for each ripens a
few days later than the preceding kind.

Blenheim. Very similar to Royal in
all respects but is preferred for com-
mercial planting in some sections of
the state. Heavy bearer. June.

Tilton. One of the largest Apricots,
somewhat heart-shaped, with a rich
apricot color. Very finely flavored,
sweet and juicy. Does particularly
well in the interior valleys. Middle

desirable. Transcendent is the best
of all crabs for general use. Attrac-
tive medium sized yellow fruits,
beautifully striped with red. Tree
remarkably vigorous and immensely
productive. August.

Plums

Most varieties of Plums will bear heavier crops
if certain other varieties are planted nearby as
pollinizers. Burbank, Wickson and Climax all
successfully pollinate the blossoms of most varie-
ties, as well as each other, and we advise includ-
ing some of these sorts in all Plum plantings.

In the coast and valley regions of Southern California the Sweet
Cherries do not bear, but they are entirely satisfactory in the rest
of the state. The “pie’’ Cherries, Morello and Richmond, will bear
large crops any place, and while a little tart to eat fresh, they are
splendid for pies and preserves and we highly recommend them, par-
ticularly for most Southern California regions. Several varieties of
Sweet Cherries should be planted together so that they may cross-

pollinate, as one kind will not bear well alone.

(Patent Applied For)

The first time you bite into this beautiful new Plum you
will marvel at its honey-like sweetness, its abundant juice,
and surpassing flavor. The fruit is large, round, and maroon
colored overlaid with a glowing lilac bloom. The flesh is
bright red all the way through to the small pit, and al-
though extremely juicy is quite firm. Unlike most other
Plums, there is no bitterness either to the skin or the pit,
for this magnificent Plum is sweet and full of flavor all the
way through, even before it is fully mature. The skin, while
tender, is quite thick so that the Plum ships and keeps re-
markably well. Mariposa is much superior to that old favor-
ite Satsuma and ripens fully two weeks earlier.

Bi tet Deciduous Fruit Trees

The Earliest and the Latest Plums

Methley. The earliest fruits to ripen are
always greatly appreciated because they
come after many months when fresh fruits
have not been available. Methley pre-
cedes all other plums by many days,
and one tree of this variety will provide
all that a large family can use, being
positively loaded every year with the
small, sweet, rich deep red fruits. Late
May.

Becky Smith. Not only one of the most
beautiful Plums grown but the very latest
to ripen, appearing after all the others are
gone. Big, round, bright red fruits, crisp
and sweet, of splendid quality for eating
and shipping. Plant with Burbank, Climax
or Santa Rosa for cross-pollination. The
tree is a beautiful sight when full of
fruit. Late September.

Plums

Satsuma. The well-known Japanese blood
plum so prized for preserves. Large, almost
round, deep red outside and in, firm, juicy,
and of fine flavor. Must be planted with other
varieties such as Wickson, Burbank or Climax
to secure good crops. Late July.

Red Rosa. A new Plum which is very sim-
ilar to the Santa Rosa in appearance, having
the same bright colored purplish-red fruit and
amber colored flesh, but which ripens fully
one month later, long after Santa Rosas are
gone. The flesh is more crisp and it does not
get soft as soon as does Santa Rosa, and is
therefore superior to that famous variety for a
shipping and market Plum, and it is just as
good in every other respect. Late July.

Wickson. A very large heart-shaped plum,
deep yeliow, overlaid with carmine and a
white bloom. Flesh crisp, sweet, amber col-
ored. August.

Green Gage. An old favorite, with medium
sized, oval, greenish-yellow fruits; rich, sweet,
and juicy. Suitable only for northern districts
or the higher altitudes of Southern California.
Late August.

Damson. Famous old Plum, prized for many
years for making jam and preserves. Little,
oval, purplish-blue fruit, with tart, juicy, yel-
low flesh. Heavy bearer. Early September.

President. Large egg-shaped fruits with a
beautiful purplish-blue color; flesh yellow and
of splendid quality. A good commercial
Plum and a heavy bearer, but not entirely
successful in the lower altitudes of Southern
California. Early September.

Kelsey. Very large, heart-shaped; greenish-
yellow, blushed with red; flesh yellow, firm
and of fine quality. Because of its lateness
and shipping qualities it has been very prof-
itable commercially and is everywhere recog-
nized as a fine late Plum. September.

The Two Most Popular Figs

Brown Turkey. We consider Brown Turkey to be just about the fin-
est Fig for general use in California because it bears well in almost
any location where Figs will thrive. It ripens its first crop early before
most other Figs are ready to pick. The fruits are very large and long,
a rich purplish-brown in color, becoming deeper purple as they ma-
ture, with rich strawberry-red flesh which is fine grained, sweet and
juicy. A splendid variety from the seacoast to the desert and we re-

commend it as California’s No. 1 Fig.

Kadota. This is the finest white Fig for most of California and one
of the finest Figs for all purposes, since it will can, dry, pickle or
ship fresh and give excellent results in every case. Largely planted
for the fresh fruit market and most people prefer it to any other fig
for eating fresh. Of medium size, with waxy, smooth, yellowish-white
skin and pale amber flesh. Extremely sweet and rich. Very prolific in

bearing. Sometimes called White Pacific.

Prunes

Prunes are merely Plums with a high per-
centage of sugar which will dry without re-
moval of the pit. They are usually very hand-
some in appearance, are excellent to eat
fresh, and are valuable for all home uses in
addition to their value as a commercial dry-
ing product. The yield of all varieties of
Prunes will be materially increased if several
kinds are interplanted for cross-pollination.

Prices same as for Plums. See preceding page.
Listed in order of ripening:

Tragedy. The best early Prune and always
a favorite because of its attractive high qual-
ity dark purple fruit with yellowish-green
flesh; firm, sweet, and richly flavored. Bears
much heavier crops when Robe de Sargent is
planted with it for cross-pollination

Sugar. Very large, oval, dark purple fruit,
tender, sweet and sugary; particularly fine
for home planting. Tree is vigorous and pro-
ductive. July.

Standard. Possibly the handsomest and
finest of all Prunes for home use or as fresh
fruit for the market. The big oval fruits are
deep purple with a rich blue bloom, and the
flesh is amber colored, sweet, and juicy.
Bears excellent crops, and along with Sugar
is particularly fine in the valley situations of
Southern California where other Prunes do
not do quite so well. August.

Robe de Sargent. A splendid fruit in itself
with large oval deep purple fruits and sweet,
rich, greenish-yellow flesh, but is also widely
known as the best pollinizer by which the
yield of other varieties may be increased.
August.

French Improved. The standard commercial
drying variety which has made Culifornia
Dried Prunes famous. Large oval fruits of
deep purple, with sweet sugary flesh, pro-
duced in great quantities. September.

Brunswick (Magnolia). A medium to large
fig, light brown in color, with a short neck
Flesh is fine grained and sweet, brownish-
amber in color. The tree is small and will
stand more cold than any other fig.

Calimyrna (Smyrna). The largest and finest
fig grown, of enormous size, round and flat-
tened at the end; a greenish-yellow skin and
coarse reddish-amber pulp. The fruit has a
richness and meatiness not found in any other
fig and is the standard commercial variety for
drying. Will not mature crop unless pollinized
by the fig wasp (Blastophaga grossorum)
which breeds in the wild Capri Figs. A Capri
must be planted nearby and infested with the
wasp to obtain a crop on the Calimyrna.

Capri. Capri Figs are valueless in them-
selves but provide a home for the fig wasps
which are necessary to pollinize the Cali-
myrna. The planting ratio is one Capri to
twenty-five Calimyrnas or less

Mission. The well-known California Black
Fig. The fruit is medium to large, with a long
neck, mahogany-violet in color and brownish-
red flesh. The leading black variety for ship-
ping and drying. It is quite hardy and does
well in nearly all sections, producing extreme-
ly heavy crops.

Panachee (Striped). A peculiar variegated
fig in which the fruit and often the stems and
leaves are brilliantly striped with green and
yellow. The figs are large, with rich blood-
red pulp and for all their oddity in coloring
are about as fine to eat as any Fig you ever
tasted.

White Adriatic. Very large, elongated, yel-
lowish-green fruit with a short neck; flesh
bright red, somewhat coarse but of excellent
quality. A strong-growing prolific tree.

White Genoa. A very large pear-shaped va-
riety with a waxen yellow skin and sweet
amber pulp, somewhat similar to Kadota but
much larger, and it bears much better near
the coast than Kadota.

A Splendid New
Hybrid Peach

Peaches

Of all the hardy deciduous fruits, Peaches are by far
the most popular, and California Peaches are famous
the world over. When you buy an Armstrong Peach
tree, you do not buy an ordinary tree. We have sup-
plied millions of Peach trees to planters during the
past forty years, and although many planters would
pay more for them, Armstrong Trees cost no more
than others. All Peaches are freestone unless other-
wise designated in the description.

The New Babcock Peach

In the warmer sections of the Southwestern States, most
Peaches do not always complete their winter period of dor-
mancy, and this condition of ‘‘delayed foliation’’ or ‘‘prolonged
dormancy’’ causes all of the present commercial varieties of
Peaches to lose a crop every three or four years.

Due to the splendid work of Prof. E. B. Babcock and Mr. C.
O. Smith of the University of California, together with Mr.
George P. Weldon, Pomologist of Chaffey Junior College, a
series of new hybrid Peaches has been produced, the finest of
which, named the Babcock in honor of its originator, is now
available for planting. Because of its Chinese Peen-to blood,
Babcock is resistant to. delayed foliation and will bear a crop
every year in the Southwest no matter how mild the winter.

High Quality, Remarkable Keeper

But entirely aside from this valuable characteristic, the Bab-
cock is a Peach of exceptional quality and commercial advan-
tages. It is white-fleshed, with a delicious flavor and abundant
juice. It begins to ripen as early as the second week in June,
and even after becoming fully colored on the tree the fruit
continues to increase in size without becoming soft or overripe
for many days. After removal from the tree the fruit remains
remarkably firm, ripening 48 to 72 hours after picking. Babcock
is the only early California peach which can successfully be
shipped to Eastern markets.

Beautiful Red Color, Almost Fuzzless

The fruit is almost round, somewhat above medium size, and
the color ranges from a beautiful pink to deep crimson. The
skin is exceptionally smooth and is almost like a Nectarine in
this respect. We highly recommend the Babcock either for home
planting or as a profitable early market Peach.

ing early yellow freestone for com-
mercial and home use. Fruit medium
size with small pit; skin yellow,
shaded with crimson; flesh yellow,
tich and firm. Late June.

BABCOCK PEACH

Opulent. There is no better eating
Peach than this, which we believe to
be Luther Burbank’s finest Peach in-
troduction. It is a cross between a
Peach and a Nectarine and has the
beautifully marbled, smooth skin of
the Nectarine, with exceedingly sweet
and highly flavored white flesh.
Early July.

Early Crawford. Known for many
years as one of the very finest of the
early yellow Peaches. Very large,
round fruits, colored rich red and
golden yellow; marbled yellow flesh
rayed with red at the pit and per-
fectly free from the stone. It has
a rich flavor, pleasant aroma, tender
flesh, and abundant juice. July.

George IV. A large, round, white
freestone; skin creamy white, with red
cheeks. Flesh white, juicy, and most
exquisitely flavored. Late July.

Champion. Often looked upon as
the standard by which to gauge all
white-fleshed freestones. This variety
has everything a Peach should have
—size, tender flesh, juiciness, a hon-
eyed flavor, attractive appearance
and a productive tree. Early August.

Lukens Honey. One of the finest
and sweetest of all Peaches for home
use, the quality and flavor unexcelled
for eating. Fruit small; skin greenish-
white; flesh white, very sweet and
juicy. Can always be depended upon
to bear a good crop anywhere, even
in the hottest interior valleys. August.

The New Peach, Rio Oso Gem

This splendid new Peach is somewhat similar in appearance to the

famous J. H. Hale but ripens two weeks later and is superior in both
appearance and quality to that variety. The fruit is very large, round,
and brilliant dark crimson in color shading out to orange-red. The flesh

is yellow, firm, and we guarantee that you will find it to have as fine
a flavor as any Peach you ever ate.

Rochester. One of the older varie-
ties, which during the past several
years has been found to be remark-
ably profitable as a commercial Peach
in certain sections of Southern Cali-
fornia, particularly the Yucaipa dis-
trict. Very large, highly colored yel-
low fruit, mottled red; firm, juicy and
sweet. Bears exceptionaly heavy
crops and has an unusually long
ripening season. Late July.

J. H. Hale. For fifteen years J. H.
Hale has stood out above all other
Peaches grown in California, and its
exceptional appearance and quality
and heavy bearing habit have made
it a profitable commercial variety
even during the past several years
of low prices. Exceptionally large,
round, its beautiful yellow skin richly
marked with dark red and carmine,
with exceptionally fine flavor, aroma,
texture, and juiciness. It is a fruit
that looks well, keeps well, tastes
well, and sells well. Remains on the
tree in a firm condition for a longer
time than any other freestone except
Babcock. August.

Elberta. This variety has been for
many years, and still is one of the
finest Peaches. Large, rather elon-
gated, yellow with red cheeks, juicy
and well flavored. Bears consistently,
excellent for home and market. A
good pollenizer for J. H. Hale. Aug-

The Two Leading

Canning Peaches

Peaks Cling (Palora). As a mid-
season canning Peach, the Peaks has
no superior. The fruit is large, uni-
form and round; skin clear yellow;
flesh yellow to pit. A very heavy
bearer. August.

Sims Cling. Now recognized as
possibly the leading mid-season com-
mercial canning cling. The fruit is
larger than average; golden yellow
outside and in; flesh clear yellow to
the pit. Consistently bears very
heavy crops. Late August.

Indian Blood Cling. Little, round,
red, clingstone, firm and rich flavored,
with blood-red markings through the
flesh. The best variety for home
pickled Peaches. August.

Salway. Peaches are beginning to
get scarce when this variety ripens,
and since it is of extremely high
quality is popular both for the mar-
ket and home use. Large, round,
with a creamy yellow skin and sweet,
white, juicy flesh. September.

Krummel. One of the latest free-
stone Peaches and a profitable mar-
ket variety. Fruit large, lemon yel-
low, lightly blushed with carmine;
flesh yellow, red at the pit; of ex-
cellent quality. September.

White Heath Cling. Creamy white,
blush on sunny side; flesh white,
tender, juicy and delicious. A fine
cling for home use. September.

Miller’s Late. There are few Peaches
ripening after the Salway; hence a
good Peach ripening as late as No-
vember is a valuable acquisition.
Miller's Late is a fine yellow free-

Nectarines

The tree of the Nectarine looks like a Peach tree, and the pit is
the same as that of a Peach, but the skin is smooth; and the rich
aromatic flesh has a flavor and character all of its own. Nectarines
are truly “the fruits of the Gods."

with deep red; flesh is white, sweet and juicy. The earliness and firmness of
the fruit makes it a good market variety. Early July.

Gold Mine. New Zealand has been the birth place of some of the finest
Nectarines. Gold Mine is one of the best New Zealand kinds and is one of
the most beautiful Nectarines in existence. Great red and yellow fruits, with
juicy white flesh, exceptional in flavor and quality. Early August.

Stanwick. For many years has been California's leading Nectarine. Ex-
tremely large fruit, the skin pale green, shaded purplish red; the flesh white
and juicy, with a most delicious aromatic flavor. Early August.

Yellow Fleshed Nectarines

Boston. Immense bright yellow fruit, with a red cheek and rich yellow
flesh. The yellow fleshed Nectarines while not quite so spicy and piquant as
the white fleshed varieties have a sweeter and richer flavor. Late August.

Lippiatts Late Orange. Another splendid new introduction from New Zea-
land and one of the finest Nectarines ever grown. Very large, golden orange-
yellow inside and out; firm, sweet, and rich. Late August.

Fruit and Nut Trees

Walnuts

Armstrong Walnut trees are grown from carefully selected scions
from the best fruiting orchard trees under conditions of soil and
climate which produce an excellent root system and a clean vig-
orous top. They are grown on the native Northern Black Walnut.

Walnuts make a wonderful shade tree for the home, but should
be planted where they will have plenty of room to spread out, as
they get very large in time. The trees grow rapidly after the first

year and begin to bear at two or three years of age.

Placentia. The Placentia is the most
popular and profitable walnut in
Southern California. The nuts are
roundish oval, smooth, with a thin
strong shell and are of a desirable
commercial size. They are borne in
larger quantities than trees of other
varieties will produce. The kernel is
smooth, plump and lightcolored. The
tree is precocious.

Eureka. Ranks second to Placentia
as a commercial nut. Very large,
elongated nuts; shell light straw col-
or, very heavy and well sealed;
cream colored, plump, waxy kernels.
Brings higher prices than the Pla-
centia, but does not bear as young
as the latter nor so heavily. Hardier
than Placentia, because it blooms
later, and more immune to sunburn.

Payne. A very popular commercial
walnut in the central valleys of Cali-
fornia because of the extremely early
and heavy crops borne by the young
trees. The nuts are of exceptionally
high quality. Sometimes used for in-
terplanting because of its early pro-

duction but comparatively slow
growth.
Franquette. Owing to its lateness

in blooming, its hardiness and dense
foliage, this variety stands in high
favor with Northern growers. The nut
is large, elongated, smooth, tightly
sealed.

Wilson Wonder. Called the ‘Jumbo
Walnut’’ because of its enormous
size, the individual nuts often meas-
uring more than 2 inches in diameter.
Offered in the stores at Christmas
time for very fancy prices. Bears very
young and heavily.

Chestnuts

The Chestnut should be planted far
more in California than it is at the
present time, because it does particu-
larly well in most sections of the
state, producing very heavy crops of
nuts which bring a good price in the
markets. Also the trees make beau-
tiful large ornamental shade trees
with dense, dark green foliage and
symmetrical tops. They do not attain
great size, but make a medium growth
which is most satisfactory for many
locations, and we can recommend
them for all parts of this state, ex-
cept the hot dry desert sections.

In order to secure cross-pollination
at least three trees should be planted
together.

Spanish Seedlings. The European
type of chestnuts, which are also
called Italian Chestnuts, do particu-
larly well on the Pacific Coast. The
different trees vary only slightly in
their bearing habits and the nuts are
quite uniform. The trees are very
ornamental with large dark green
leaves and we highly recommend
them for shade trees. The nuts are
large, sweet, and of good quality,
and the tree bears very young.
Larger crops will be secured if sev-
eral trees are planted together. 4 to
6 feet, $1.25 each, $11.00 per 10; 3 to
4 feet, $1.00 each, $9.00 per 10; 2 to
3 feet, 75c each, $6.50 per 10.

Filberts

The Filberts or Hazelnuts grow into
a large bush or small trees, and
while they are not suited to the drier
portions of California they will thrive
and bear their excellent nuts in the
cool, moist parts of California. Two
or more varieties must be planted to-
gether to insure cross-pollination. We
offer the Barcelona, which is the best
variety, together with the Du Chilly
and White Aveline as pollinizers.

BIG, EASILY CRACKED, CALORO PECANS

Pecans

The Pecan has definitely shown itself to be a profitable com-
mercial crop in the interior valleys of California and in Arizona
It is a tree which adapts itself to a wide range of climate and
soil conditions but does best in a deep sandy loam. The trees
are hardy everywhere in California except in the coldest moun-
tain areas, and they are resistant to the hottest climate. They
thrive exceedingly well in arid districts but require plenty of
water through irrigation. The Pecan makes a splendid, fast
growing, large, shade tree wherever it is planted in California

We have eliminated from our propagating list all of those
Pecans which have not proven themselves to be successful un-
der California conditions and all of the kinds that we offer on
this page, except Burkett, are self-fertile and can be depended
upon to bear excellent crops when planted by themselves. All
of the Pecan trees that we send out will be pruned back se-
verely, ready for planting, because this is necessary in order
to get good results from the trees. If you do not want your
trees so pruned, please advise when the order is placed.

Burkett. For several years past it has proven to be a valua-

ble Pecan for California and Arizona, and the trees that are
now in bearing produce exceptionally heavy crops. The nut is
large, almost round, very thin-shelled, the whole meat coming
out very readily. A beautiful, fast growing shade tree. Plant
Caloro or Success with it as a pollenizer.

Success. This has been the most widely planted of all Pecans
in California and the finest and oldest-bearing trees are of this
variety. Large and oblong, with a medium thick shell, and a
kernel of the finest flavor. It blooms late, avoiding late spring
frosts in the higher altitudes.

Nellis.

We are particularly recommending these two comparatively
new Pecans because they both have been developed under Cal-
ifornia conditions and have shown themselves to be particularly
fine for this state, one being adapted more to the cooler coastal
regions and the other to the warm interior valleys.

tier and we have grown it because
it seemed to thrive and bear so

Caloro. This splendid new Pecan
is very large, long, and tapering,
and of the very highest quality. We
have never seen a nut which cracks
and separates from the shell as
easily and perfectly as Caloro. The
thrifty upright tree begins to bear
in the third year, producing heavily
thereafter. Needs no cross pollina-
tion. For commercial and home use
we believe it is the leading Pecan
for the warm inland valleys of Cali-
fornia.

BLACK MONUKKA GRAPE
Early, Sweet and Seedless—Delicious to Eat.

Armstrong Select

GRAPE VIN Ge

Grapes from all over the world do wonderfully well in California,
and every home place has room for a few vines somewhere. It takes
only two years after planting to get good crops on most Grape vines,
so it is not necessary to wait for results. Grapes are quite ornamental
when used as a vine on fence or arbor.

The Grapes which are typical of California are those that have
been gathered from Persia, Turkey, Armenia Anatolia, and from the
Old World vineyards of France and Germany, but we are also fortu-
nate in being able to grow the American Grapes which are so much
liked in the Eastern States. It is easy to secure a bountiful crop of
any Grape in California.

In planting Grape vines, cut the top back to two or three strong
buds and plant the vine deep so that only about two inches of the
original cutting is exposed. The first winter after planting, if the vine
has made a weak growth, it should be cut back severely again. There-
after on all bush type vines leave from two to four spurs, each with
two or three strong buds. On varieties marked “T” in the list below
larger crops will be secured if the canes on mature vines are left

from 18 to 24 inches long. Plant home Grapes 6 feet apart each way.

The Richly Flavored Muscats

Black Muscat. (Muscatello Fino). These large black ber-
ties have decidedly the richest flavor of any grape that we
grow, exceeding even the Muscat of Alexandria described
below. It ripens about a month before Muscat and is a
great favorite with everyone. August.

Black Muscat of Albardiens. Those grape lovers who are
strong for the Muscat flavor will welcome this variety,
which ripens a little later than Muscatello fino and which
is a little better keeper, but the same good old flavor is
always present. Late August.

Muscat. The famous white raisin grape of California. The
big, oval, green berries have a rich sweet flavor which any
connoisseur of fresh Grapes will tell you is the very finest
there is. (It makes good Muscatel too.) There are several
strains of Muscat, but this is the Muscat of Alexandria—the
best of all. September. :

Flame Muscat. Exactly like the Muscat, with the same
rich flavor and large berries of that famous variety, but
with bright red berries, the color being intensified in hot
weather.

California’s Choicest Wine Grapes

Alicante Bouschet. One of the most famous wine grapes is this splendid
variety which has sweet, bright red juice and is much used to secure
high color when mixed with other kinds.

Probably the most famous wine grape of California, bear-
ing an enormous quantity of compact bunches of very juicy, sweet, black
grapes. The most dependable kind for juice purposes. September.

Mission. T. Medium size, round, sweet, black berries produced in eno:-
mous loose bunches. One of the old standard wine grapes, and because
of its quality and large tonnage, it is always a favorite. September.

Even the leaves turn brilliant

Rose of Peru. T. Not only a splendid wine grape but an excellent table
grape as well, for its large loose bunches of big, round, black berries
are crisp, sweet, and rich. A trellis hung with beautiful bunches of Rose
of Peru is a marvelous sight. September.

Maraville de Malaga (Molinera). A
wonderful red market and_ shipping
grape, and unexcelled for home use
as well. The berries are extremely
large, round, and bright red, sweet
and richly flavored, and so firm that
the skin can be peeled off like an
orange. We rather think it is the best

ted grape for most purposes. Early
September.
Olivette Blanche. T. Great long

greenish-amber berries as big as the
end of your thumb and with an ex-
ceedingly rich flavor. The bunches are
very large, and because of its heavy
production and splendid keeping qual-
ities, it is one of the best late market
and shipping grapes. September.

Flame Tokay. One of the leading
Berries
and bunches very large, red, covered
with lilac bloom; flesh firm, crisp and

grown. October.

Gros Colman. T. Berries of this va-
riety are as large as small plums, and
are borne in immense clusters. Ber-
ries a rich blue, firm and crisp, and
extremely handsome in appearance.
Early October.

Cornichon. T. One of the best late
shipping Grapes. Berries long and
oval, purplish black; skin very thick;
branches long and loose; sweet and of
excellent quality. October.

Emperor. T. Bunches large, long
and rather loose; berry large, oblong,
wine colored, very firm; a very late

standard shipping Grape. October.

MALAGA GRAPE
Heavy Bearing White Grape for Home and Market.

Largest and Latest

Black Morocco. These great round,
purplish black grapes are so large that
they resemble small plums. The ber-
ries are sweet and crisp and borne in
large compact bunches. Probably the
largest of all Grapes and so late that
they may be picked right up to
Thanksgiving. October.

Almeria (Ohanez). Berries greenish-
white, medium to large, cylindrical.
The latest Grape, keeping for a long
time after picking. October.

If you want to cover an arbor or
fence quickly and get a lot of fine
Grapes every year, there is no finer
variety that you can plant than Luther
Burbank's origination, Christmas Grape,
which you will find described at the
bottom of this page.

Espalier Grapes

For planters who wish older and
larger grape vines for planting against
a wall or quickly covering an arbor,
we have Concord, Ribier, and Mara-
ville de Malaga, three years of age,
trained in seven foot branched col-
umns, fan shape, or double S shape.
The column will give quick results in
covering an arbor or wall, while the
other types are excellent for wall or
patio.

Balled, 3-year plants, $2.50 each.

CONCORD GRAPE
Most Famous American Grape.

Grafted Grapes

There are certain regions in which grape vines become
infested with Phylloxera on the roots. This may be overcome
by planting vines grafted on resistant stocks. For those
who wish to try the California or Vinifera varieties of
grapes in the Eastern and other sections of the country
where it is not too cold, we recommend that the grafted
vines be planted since they will give much better results.

We can furnish vines grafted on Phylloxera resistant
stocks in the following varieties:

THE NEW EVERBEARING KOSMO BERRY

Armstrong Early Ripening Youngberries

During the past few years the Youngberry has attained enormous popularity in California. The
berries are always large and extremely firm so that they are remarkable keepers and shippers.
They are deep wine color, changing to jet black as they age, and the exquisite flavor suggests a
combination of Raspberry, Blackberry, and Dewberry, with a piquancy which gives just the right
zest to their superior sweetness. The seeds are so few and-so soft that the berries may be con-
sidered as practically seedless, and even the cores are tender and melting. Thousands of house-
wives will testify to the quality of Youngberry jam and jelly. The vines are heavy producers and
are extremely vigorous, the large size of the berries and their accessibility making picking costs
low. Plant the vines on wire trellis six to seven feet apart.

The first time that we ate this remark-
able new Blackberry we pronounced it the

Early Ripening

For the past three consecutive

finest berry of its kind that we had ever
tasted, and we still hold that opinion.
Kosmo originated in Oregon several years
ago, and the original plant is still bearing
large crops. For the past two seasons the
variety has been in full bearing in the
vicinity of Ontario and has borne enor-
mous crops. While it is a berry that will
not thrive in zero temperatures, it is evi-
dently well adapted to the entire Pacific
Coast and worth trying in the Gulf States
as well.

They Melt Away

The berries are large and long, 1!)
inches in length, jet-black in color, and so
sweet and juicy that they just melt in
your mouth, and the seeds and core are
almost non-existent. The berries somewhat
resemble the old Mammoth (Cory) Thorn-
less, but whereas that kind was a very
light bearer, and we have discarded it
for that reason, the Kosmo bears enor-
mous crops, the first and main crop rip-
ening early, during the first week in June
in the vicinity of Ontario, with a second
crop following early in August.

Boy! What Pies!

The berries are larger and much sweeter
than the Youngberry, and we know from
experience that it makes the very finest
kind of jam and pies. While Kosmo has
not quite the keeping qualities of the
Youngberry, its larger size and higher
quality when once known caused it to
outsell the Youngberry on the local mar-
kets during the past season, and we un-
derstand that the same is true in Oregon.
The vines are vigorous growers, sending
out long 8 and 10 foot canes, and must
be given trellis or fence for support.

years the Youngberry vines from
which Armstrong plants are propa-
gated have had their fruit ready
for market at least ten days in ad-
vance of any others in Southern
California. We believe this is lerge-
ly due to several years of careful
selection, and certainly Youngber-
ties, beating the market by ten
days, should be profitable. We
have found also that Armstrong
Youngberries are larger and plump-
er than other strains.

Blackberries

Crandall’s Early Blackberry (Macatawa).
One of the earliest berries to ripen, produc-
ing great quantities of large, firm, sweet ber-
ries which keep well after picking. The vine
is vigorous and it thrives almost anywhere in
California, bearing over a longer season near
the Coast than in the interior valleys. Big
pEright bushes, needing no support. May to
uly.

Himalaya Blackberry. An exceedingly ram-
pant grower, the canes often reaching forty
feet in one season, and bearing enormous
crops of excellent, medium sized, juicy, black
berries. Ripens over a long season from June
to late fall and provides plenty of berries
after the Youngberries are gone.

Crandall and Himalaya, 15c¢ ea., $1.25 per 10,
$8.00 per 100.

Brainerd. A new Blackberry recently intro-
duced by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and highly recommended by them for
its vigor, productiveness, and the high quality
of its fruit. It has been given limited trial
as yet in California, and we are offering it to
those who wish to try it. It may be better
than anything we have.

35c each, $2.50 per 10, $20.00 per 100.

Raspberries

Cuthbert. This is the only variety of red
raspberry that we are growing because we
find that it adapts itself to almost all condi-
tions that we have in California. The deep
red fruit is large and firm, fine in flavor, and
the plants are very heavily foliaged, protect-
ing the fruit from sunburn.

Cumberland Black Cap. One of the finest
of the black raspberries, producing on vigor-
ous plants great quantities of large jet-black
berries which are sweet and richly flavored.

THE NEW COLUMBIA PURPLE

Columbia Purple. This is a new Rasp-
berry for California which has shown up
wonderfully well in the several years that it
has been tried. The big luscious berries are
deep purple in color, surprisingly large, and
borne in big clusters. It is a hybrid between
Cuthbert and Cumberland Black Cap and will
bea revelation to those who have not seen it
and picked the fruit. The vines are extremely
vigorous. Plant about five by eight feet apart

Armstrong Strawberries

Banner. A wonderful berry near the Coast or in valleys where summer heat is not
too great. Last summer, which was cool in most of California, the Banner was pos-

sibly the finest berry every place. The beautiful big round berries are as richly flavored
as any Strawberry grown, and the color is dark red, almost purple when fully ripe.

Missionary (Carolina). A vigorous grower with good covering foliage, largely planted
commercially because it produces so heavily and is a good keeper and shipper. Prob-
ably the very best berry for hot interior sections, not only for the market but for home
use as well. There is more fruit sold of this variety in California than any other.

Progressive. We like the berry because of the great richness of its flavor and the
length of its season, which begins late but lasts three months longer than most other
kinds. Berries small to medium in size, long and pointed in shape, borne in enormous
quantities. As nearly everbearing as any strawberry.

Blakemore—The more we see of this new berry which was introduced a few years ago
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the more we like it. In color, earliness, qualit
of berry, and size of crop it is a great advance in Strawberries. Possibly its biggest ad-
vantage is the beautiful bright red color which does not change after the berries are
picked or after they are preserved. Because of the firmness of the berries, they keep
and ship extremely well and are easy to pick. Last season, at Ontario, Blakemore
ripened its first crop during February and March when it bore ten berries to one borne
by any other variety, and the second crop in May was just as large as that of the other
kinds. The foliage is very large, shielding the berries from the birds and sun and giving
them a lovely color. See illustration below.

Southland. This is the latest thing in Strawberries, just introduced as a high quality
home garden variety for California and the southern states by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. It seems to have done very well during the year or two during which it
has been tried in this state. Its huge, dark green, glossy foliage continues to grow
through the colder winter months and gives the crop an early start in the spring. The
big, glossy, bright red berries are very sweet and much less acid than most other
Strawberries. The fruit is round or slightly conical; fairly firm, and while its commercial
value is as yet untried, it certainly should make a splendid home fruit. 10 for 60c;

Gorgeous New Kurume Azaleas

Only a few years ago a new hybrid race of Azaleas called the Kurumes were
imported into this country from Japan. In a very short space of time they have
become exceedingly popular and are now recognized as the very finest Azaleas
for the Pacific Coast, and indeed must be classed among the very finest flowering
shrubs of any kind for California gardens. The plants are dense and compact,
ranging from 2 to 4 feet in height, and in the spring when in bloom, they are
so covered with the brilliantly covered flowers that it is almost impossible to see
the leaves. They have a marvelous range of colors and thrive anywhere in
California except in the warmest interior regions. They prefer shade or semi-shade
and a slightly acid soil condition which is best obtained by the use of leaf mold
or peat moss. They also need plenty of water, particularly during the blooming
season. Each year hundreds of California home owners are counting them as
the choicest plants in their gardens.

lilac-purple, fragrant flowers in the spring that the stems are completely hidden. A shrub
that will grow in any reasonably good soil, preferring full sun and uninjured by ex-

Its innumerable branches laden with blossoms will provide a fountain of color every
spring. Gal. containers, 60c.

Buddleia Colvilei. 8 ft. A rare and much prized Buddleia from India, which has
enormous crimson flower spikes 18 inches long, larger than any other flowers in this
popular group. For best results, must have part shade and abundant moisture. Should
not be pruned back severely like other Buddleias. 8-inch pots, 1-2 ft., $1.00.

Buddleia Lindleyana. China. 5 ft. We take great pleasure in recommending this
scarce variety of Buddieia which is easily grown under all conditions. The arching

SUPERB CAMELLIAS

The exquisite waxy flowers of the Camellia japonica never fail to draw
constant admiration when they unfold during the winter months, and
even in California flowers are none too plentiful at that season of the
year. Camellia blooms are so perfectly molded, so waxy and delicate in
texture, and so beautifully tinted, that they are the center of attention
whenever they appear. And the plant itself is handsome, with its compact
dock evergreen foliage forming a perfect setting for the bright colored

oOwers.

Camellias are not difficult to grow, requiring only a good well-drained
soil and a partially shaded position, usually with an east or north ex-
posure. In very heavy soils a little peat moss mixed in with the soil will
provide good drainage and give better results. They thrive readily on
the Pacific Coast, except in desert sections. It is not necessary to wait
for blooms on Camellias because they begin to bear flowers as soon as
they are a foot or two in height.

Most of the following varieties of Camellias are fairly well known in
California, several of them having been introduced several years ago by
ourselves, while others are scarce kinds, but because we have a good
sized stock of them, we are able to offer them at the very reasonable
prices listed below. The 8-10 inch plants listed below are in 4-inch pots
and have but a single stem, but all of the other sizes, which may be
either potted or balled plants, are bushy and well branched, and during
the winter blooming season most of them will have buds or flowers on.

Pink Perfection. This is probably the most
popular Camellia grown in California, and its
very double, medium sized flowers of delicate
light pink are very charming indeed. It never
fails to display large quantities of its perfect
flowers, and it is the first variety to bloom in
the late fall or early winter, continuing to
open blooms for several months thereafter.
One of the strongest and most vigorous grow-
ers among Camellias.

Purity. Its name describes it. Symmetrical,
exquisitely formed, snowy white flowers of

Rosita. Very double, medium size flowers
of bright rose pink, the petals delicately
veined and arranged in a symmetrical rosette-

The New Purple Rockrose

Cistus purpureus. We have grown and observed this new English hybrid Rockrose
for two or three years, and we get more enthusiastic about it all the time. It makes a
compact handsome plant, eventually becoming about four feet high and six feet across,

rich rose-purple in color, with a deep mahogany or maroon spot at the base of each
petal, and with a center of yellow stamens. Must have full sun and good drainage and
needs little water. Perfectly hardy anywhere in California or Arizona. There is no more
beautiful plant to be found for a sunny spot in the garden. Gal. containers, 60c.

Cistus ladaniferus maculatus. ‘“‘Brown-eyed Rockrose.’’ (Spain) 3 ft. Every morning in
spring and summer it is covered with pure white flowers, three inches across, with

mens 5 inches long protruding from them.
Coast or desert. Gal. containers, 50c.

Bottle Brush

Callistemon rigidum. ‘Bottle Brush.’’ (Pacific
Islands) 8 ft. The beauty of these plants lies
in their long, red anthers, which form a
showy cylindrical flower similar in shape to
a bottle brush. Rapid growing, hardy any-
where, thriving even in alkali soil. Full sun.

Another Australian

Candollea cuneiformis. (Australia) 4 ft.
Here in California we are always discovering
a new Australian immigrant which turns out
to be even better in our California gardens
than it was in its native home. This is a
beautiful plant, with a compact rounded habit,
which is covered from March to June with
many one-inch bright yellow flowers, almost
like a free blooming yellow wild rose. Sun or

thrives particularly well in Arizona and
other desert sections. 5-gal. containers,
ee ft., $1.50; gal. containers, 11/2-2 ft.,

Cassia grandiflora. 8 fit. We think
this is One of the finest of all the Cas-
sias because it produces great quanti-
ties of its brilliant yellow flowers in
late fall and early winter when flowers
are scarce. It grows anywhere from
coast to desert and grows rapidly to
its full size. Gal. containers, 50c.

Cassia tomentosa. 8 ft. Mexico. Vig-

pound leaves and great clusters of
deep yellow flowers in the early spring.
Thrives anywhere, particularly in the
desert. Gal. containers, 50c.

Night Blooming Jasmine

Cestrum parqui. ‘Night Blooming Jasmine.”
5 ft. Just an ordinary, inconspicuous ever-
green shrub in the daytime, but making itself
known in the darkness by the ravishing fra-
grance from its small greenish-white flowers
—a fragrance of musk mingled with helio-
trope, which can be noticed 20 feet away
from the plant. Flowering branches placed in
a room will emit perfume during the entire
night but no longer. Hardy down to 20 de-
grees. Sun. Gal. containers, 2-3 ft., 50c.

Ceratostigma Willmottiana. (China) 4 ft.

Here is one of the finest acquistions for Cali-
fornia gardens that we have had for many
years. In the first place, it makes a very con-
venient sized plant for most gardens, grow-
ing up to about 4 feet, although it can be
kept pruned down lower if desired. It decks
itself out in great masses of the deepest, rich-
est, most brilliant shade of blue that you can
imagine, and while the botanical books say
that it blooms in late summer and fall, we
find that it likes our California climate so well
that it produces flowers for about eight
months of the year. Every once in awhile it
goes on a bigger splurge than usual and puts
on a big show. Happy anwhere in sun or
shade. Gal. containers, 75c; 4-inch pots, 5S0c.

Chorizema varium. If you like the above
variety, you will like this one too, because it

CANTUA—THE MAGIC FLOWER

The Magic Flower of the Incas

Cantua buxifolia. “Magic Flower.’’ (Peru) 4 ft. Peruvian tradition says that Cantua
was the floral emblem of the ancient Incas, and the informal plant is a lovely and grace-
ful sight when in bloom, covered with many large clusters Gi cteesin crimson trumpets
3 or 4 inches long. Called Magic Flower because in many sections it blooms after each
thorough irrigation. Easily grown. Sun near the coast, partial shade inland. Gal. con-
tainers, 60c; 4-inch pots, 40c.

Cantua bicolor. This is a rare and more delicately beautiful form of this sacred flower
of the ancient Incas, the big tubular flowers being a marvelously beautiful color combi-
nation of yellow, pink, and cream. There have been almosi no plants of this kind avail-
able, so if you plant one you will have something in your garden that will be very
much out-of-the-ordinary, and you will agree with us that the blooms are just about as
lovely as any flowers you ever saw. 4-inch pots, 75c.

Cotoneasiers for Winter Color

Indispensable in California gardens are the Cotoneasters, which
are splendid foliage plants, but their most valuable characteristic
is the quantity of cheerfully colored red berries that brighten the
bushes in autumn and winter. Hardy and fast growing anywhere.

and foothill locations, but every garden in
such locations should have it. Sun or part

Clerodendrum foetidum. (China.) 5 ft. You
don’t have to be on the coast to enjoy this
one, because it is perfectly hardy, and al-
though it may freeze down to the ground in
winter, it ought to be cut back once a year
anyway in order to produce a compact plant
and additional quantities of its big, rosy-red

It stays small, only about 18 inches high, and
makes a dense mass of foliage which may
spread out for 4 or-5 feet. The little, long,

The New Pink Breath of Heaven

Diosma pulchrum. In many California gardens the White Breath of Heaven,
with its aromatic heath-like foliage and its innumerable starry little flowers is a
great favorite, but we think that this newly introduced relative from South
Africa will be even more popular. It grows to about 2 feet, with the same com-
pact bushy habit, and in late spring and summer is covered for weeks with
thousands of little bright pink flowers. There could be nothing easier to grow,
and it seems to thrive almost anywhere in any soil, but prefers full sun. Just plant
it out and leave it alone and it will reward you by becoming one of the most
lovely plants in the garden. There is nothing short-lived about it either, for it
gets better looking and blooms more with every passing year. Gal. containers,
75c; 4-inch pots, 50c.

Diosma alba. ‘‘Breath of Heaven.’ Africa. 4 ft. A bushy, compact Heather-
like little plant, bursting in late winter and spring into myriad or minute, white,
star-like blooms. If the foliage is pinched or even rubbed against, a most
entrancing aromatic fragrance is released. The name ‘Breath of Heaven" is no
passing fancy but a translation of its Greek name, Diosma. Sun. Balled, 2-3 ft.,

A Dwarf Beauty From the Canaries

Cneorum tricoccon. Canary Islands. 2 ft. There are so few evergreen shrubs
which stay small that it is a pleasure to find this lovely little plant, which makes
a beautifully rounded little clump of foliage and is dotted all through the late
summer and fall with big, three-sided bright red berries. Hardy anywhere, and
since it is a native of the Canary Islands, where the climate is much like that of
California, it is very much at home here. Sun or shade. 4-inch pots, 35c.

EVERGREEN FLOWERING SHRUBS

Heathers

Most of the Heathers blooms in the winter
when flowers are scarce. E. mediterranea and
E. stricta are hardy anywhere and are not
particular as to soil or climate, but the others,
while thriving in the coastal regions in Cali-
fornia, must have good drainage and full sun.

Erica blanda. 3 ft. Low and spreading, its

with white flowers. Balled, 1-l!/2 ft., $1.25.

E. hyalina. 3 ft. Every branch in winter
and spring is a solid spike of long tubular
flowers of a soft salmon-pink color. Balled,
1-11), ft., $1.00.

E. lusitanica. ‘Spanish Heather.’’ So cov-
ered with snowy-white flowers in late winter
that it looks like a young snowdrift. Balled,

E. melanthera. 5 ft. The best known of the
Heathers, and certainly one of the most beau-
tiful of winter flowering shrubs. From Novem-
ber to March, the plants are a solid mass of
small, rosy lavender flowers. Thrives on the
coast and in the interior. Balled, 3-4 ft., $1.50;
2-3 ft., $1.25; 1-1/2 ft., $1.00, 4-inch pots, 35c.

most the year round, its thick clusters of
large, tubular rose-red flowers which resemble
fire crackers in shape and color. Balled, 12-15
inches, $1.00.

E. stricta. 2 ft. Low growing compact and
the hardiest of all, thriving under all condi-
tions. Bright rosy pink blooms in the fall.
Balled, 1-1!/p ft., $1.25.

Apple Blossom Escallonia

Escallonia glasnevinensis. ‘‘Apple Blossom
Escallonia.”’ 3 ft. For a medium sized flow-
ering shrub we know of nothing finer than
this new hybrid from England, because it
has almost everything that is needed for gen-
eral garden planting—handsome bright green
foliage, a spreading compact habit, a not-
too-large size, and last but not least a big
crop of lovely blush-pink flowers, sweetly
fragrant. It thrives equally well on the coast
or inland. Sun or part shade. Gal. contain-
ers, 1-2 ft., 75c; 4-inch pots, 50c.

partial shade, except near coast. 5-gal. con-
tainers, $1.35; gal. containers, 50c.

Eugenia
Eugenia myrtifolia. “‘Brush Cherry.’’ Aus-
tralia. If unpruned, this splendid foliage

plant will attain 12 or 15 feet in height, but
is usually grown as a trained pillar or pyra-
mid to any desired height, or as a hedge, and
for either use it is exceedingly lovely because
of its clean, glossy, Myrtle-like foliage which
takes on a cheerful bronze tint in the new
growth. Much used for trained tub specimens,
which should be trimmed occasionally to
make them compact. Sun or shade. Trimmed
globes, in tubs, with heads 20 inches in
diameter on 32-inch stems, $4.00; trimmed pyr-
amids, 5-6 ft., $2.50, 4-5 ft., $2.00; gal. con-

green redwood tubs $1.50 each additional.

Eugenia hookeri. Similar to the above but
with larger, darker foliage, more vigorous
growth, and large, edible, violet-colored ber-
ries as large as Cherries. Particularly fine as
a large trained pillar. Trimmed globes, with
heads 24 inches in diameter, on 36-inch stems,
$3.50; 24-inch heads on 30-inch stems, $3.00;
24-inch heads on 24-inch stems, $2.50; trimmed
pyramids, 4-5 ft., $2.50; gal. containers, un-

Armstrong’s Choice Fuchsias

Fuchsias are one of the few plants that thrive and flower luxuriantly in full
shade. They like a cool, moist situation, a thoroughly heavy soil, although sandy
soils are satisfactory if plenty of rotted manures and peat moss are mixed in.
They will give a profusion of marvelous blooms and will thrive almost anywhere
in California where the temperature does not go below 20 degrees, and in lower
temperatures if given some winter protection. They also may be grown as pot
plants. In the description given below, the color of the petals is given first and

the color of the sepals last.

for Garden or Patio

THE FRAGRANT GARDENIA

The Fragrant
Cape Jasmine

Gardenia veitchi. ‘‘Cape Jasmine.”
2-4 ft. For rich, sweet perfume, the
Gardenia has no superior, and _ its
waxy, snow-white blooms are produced
in continuous succession during spring
and summer. In fact, blooms may be
found at almost any time during the
year. They are not difficult to grow in
any well drained location where it is
not too hot and dry. A plant or two
will furnish many flowers to perfume
the house or for the gentlemen’s but-
tonhole. Balled, bushy, 15-18 inches,
$1.50; 10-15 inches, $1.25; 8-12 inches,

usually sold as cut flowers by the flor-
ists. The leaves are larger and glos-
sier than G. veitchi, while the flowers
are also bigger, but they are not pro-
duced in such profusion. 6-inch pots,
75c; 4-inch pots, 50c.

pots, 25c.

Jasminum Grand Duke. 5 ft. A rare and
beautiful, semi-reclining shrub with double
3-inch flowers of pure white with a power-
ful and refreshingly sweet perfume. Quite
hardy but prefers some shade and blooms
almost the year around. It is easier to grow
than the Gardenia and exceeds even that
fragrant flower in the intensity of its sweet
perfume. It is a double improved variety of
the famous Arabian Jasmine which is used

symbol of the romance and mystery of the
East. 6-inch pots, 85c; 4-inch pots, 60c.

Luculia limoncella. (India.) 4 ft. We

intoxicating aromatic fragrance that ever

Three Fragrant Beauties

Lonicera implexa. ‘‘Bush Honeysuckle.”
A beautiful new evergreen Honeysuckle from
the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean
Sea. It makes a beautiful spreading plant,
about 2 feet high and 4 feet across, form-
ing a crown of graceful arching branches,
covered with gray-green leaves, but if it
had no foliage at all, it would still be worth
growing for the lovely and sweetly fragrant
flowers, which are deep pink fading to
creamy white. Blooms during eight months
of the year. Full sun or part shade. Hardy
anywhere on the Pacific Coast or the South.
It is one of those plants which we bring in
every once in a while from foreign lands and
which seems to be just made for our warm
dry California climate.

We started out by recommending it only as
a bush but find that with a little help it
makes as fine a climber as any other twin-
ing Honeysuckle, and since more leaf sur-
face is exposed on a climber, it will bloom
much more profusely when grown that way.
Gal. containers, 1-2 ft., 75c.

Grevillea

Grevillea banksi. 6-8 ft. Dense fern-
like foliage decorated all through the
growing season with large clusters of
compb-like flowers, rich deep crimson in
color. Sun or part shade. 5-gal. con-
tainers, 2-3 ft., $1.50; gal. containers,
1-2 ft., 50c.

Grevillea thelemanniana. (Australia.)
5 ft. Small fine-cut leaves and numer-
ous small dense scarlet racemes. A
fine single specimen or a wonderful
hedge plant, but will not stand much
frost nor too much water. 5-gal. con-
tainers, 2-3 ft., $1.50; gal. containers,
1-2 ft., 50c.

Grevillea obtusifolia. A valuable and
beautiful new shrub from Australia
which never gets more than a foot high
but may spread out for 5 or 6 feet,
bearing in late summer many small red
flowers. A beautiful bank or ground
cover. 4-inch pots, 50c.

Brooms

Genista fragrans. ‘Sweet Broom.’
(Canary Islands.) 6 ft. Its small,
grass-green foliage retires in the spring-
time under a solid mass of little, pea-
shaped, bright yellow blooms. The best
Broom for general use. Full sun. 5-
gal. containers, 3-4 ft., $1.25; gal. con-
tainers, 1-2 ft., 35c.

G. hispanica. (Spartium junceum.)
“Spanish Broom.’’ (Spain.) 8 ft. Fast-
growing, with many slender, bright-
green branches almost devoid of
leaves. Bears almost continuously,
large, pea-like, bright yellow flowers,
sweetly scented. Thrives equally well
in the salt spray of the seashore or the
hot sun of the desert. Gal. contain-
ers, 50c.

G. monosperma pendula. ‘Bridal Veil
Broom.” 10 ft. A lovely plant with
slender, drooping grayish branches al-
most leafless, which, in the spring, are
weighted down with a dense shower
of dainty little pure white fragrant flow-
ers, like swirling snow. Gal. contain-
ers, 1-2 ft., 50c.

Genista dallimorei. Ever since we
first saw this glorious new Broom
from England, we have been eager
to get the plants into California
gardens. It is a dwarf plant about
3 feet high, compact and rounded,
with dense green foliage which is
absolutely covered in the spring
with richly colored flowers which
are first purple and gold and then
golden bronze as they fully open.
Full sun near coast; a little shelter
inland. Gal. containers, 85c; 4-inch
pots, 60c.

Two Colorful New Brooms

G. newreyensis. Another fine new
richly colored English Broom which
we have never seen before offered
in California. It grows taller, to
about 5 feet, and the large blooms
are an inch or more across, in a
very pleasing color combination of
creamy yellow and rich mahogany
red, borne in large spikes all over
the plant. A pleasant change from
the bright yellow Brooms that we
plant so often. Needs a little pro-
tection from the sun in the hot in-
land valleys. 4-inch pots, 60c.

Here Is Our Plan to Beautify Your Grounds

Beautiful home grounds have become a tradition in California and the
Southwest, and a home is not considered complete until it is properly set in
a garden. Our climatic conditions make possible a garden in which we can
live the year around and nowhere in the world can such a wealth of trees,
shrubs and flowers be found with which to make such a garden.

However, many home owners are not familiar with the kinds of plants nec-
essary to make a harmonious garden, or your place may be partially planted
and you may not know just what additions are necessary. It is easy enough
to buy a few plants and put them in the ground, but the obtaining of a
satisfying harmony between them is the result only of careful planning. The
color effects, the ultimate size, adaptation to sun, shade, and extremes of
temperature are all factors to be considered.

Just Write for Our Sketch Blank

We have recognized this problem of the home owner and have developed
a Landscape Planning Service through which our clients may have the
services of trained men in planning their garden, and at low cost. You
merely send for our Planting Sketch Blank, which is ruled to scale, and you
follow the easy instructions on this blank in sending us information concern-
ing your planting. When the Sketch Blank is returned, the trained draftsmen
in our Landscape Department will make a comprehensive plan for you to
follow, together with a list of the plants needed and an estimate of the cost
of the plants, all of which will be returned to you for your approval.

You then send us the order and if you live within our delivery limits, as
shown on the front inside cover of Catalog, we will make delivery by truck
on terms given, or if at a greater distance, we crate the plants securely and
ship by freight. The planting is easily done, but if you cannot do the work
yourself, the services of a nearby and usually available gardener may be
obtained.

Only a $5.00 Deposit Required

The only monetary requirement is that you send us a deposit of $5.00 when
you return the Sketch Blank. This amount is placed to your credit and applied
on any purchase made. This service is offered for all home places measuring
75 by 150 feet or less. Larger lots and estates should have a personal visit,
and our Landscape Department is prepared to render complete service on
such places at moderate cost.

Come Out and See Us

It may be convenient for you to visit our
salesyard, where all the trees and plants that
we grow are on display. Courteous salesmen
will be at your service to give you any infor-
mation needed and to assist you in your selec-
tion. But if this is impossible be assured that
we will give complete service and careful
consideration when you deal with us through
the mail, from the time your sketch is received
until the plants are at your door.

Acacias

Acacias grow rapidly and easily anywhere
in the coastal sections or inland valleys of
California, and most varieties contribute
glorious masses of fragrant yellow blooms in
winter or spring.

A. Baileyana. 30 ft. Unquestionably the
most popular and probably the most hand-
some of all Acacias, with beautiful, fern-like,
silvery blue-green foliage. Completely en-
veloped from January to March with great
sprays of lovely lemon-yellow flowers. Large
spreading and fast growing, it makes a beau-
tiful garden tree. The hardiest Acacia. 5-gal.
containers, 5-7 ft., $1.35; gal. containers, 4-5
ft., 60c; 3-4 ft., 50c.

protecting hedge. Gal. containers, 2-3 ft., 50c.

Select Broad-Leaved |

We are particularly favored in California in being able to grow a large and
varied assortment of broad-leaved evergreen trees, many of them flowering. Near
the coast the Acacias, Oak, Jacaranda, Magnolia, Flame Tree, and Evergreen Elm
make beautiful trees, while more adapted to the arid desert parts of the southwest
are the Casuarina, Parkinsonia, Grevillea, and Pepper. Most of the Eucalyptus
will thrive any place. We call especial attention io the rare but lovely Harpullia
and Eucalyptus torquata which we are offering this year.

Sweet Acacia

Acacia Farnesiana. A large, much
branched, thorny shrub with Mimosa-like
leaves, extensively grown on the French Rivi-
era for the making of perfumes. Its large,
profusely borne yellow balls of bloom are the

most intensely fragrant of all Acacias. Gal.
containers, 11/,-2 ft., 50c.
A. dealbata. ‘Silver Wattle.’’ 60 ft. Faster

growing than any other Acacia, giving re-
markably quick results and becoming, in a
very short time, a large, spreading tree with
fern-like leaves of bluish-green, covered in
late winter with a wealth of golden yellow
flowers. If the main trunk is cut back after
a year or two, the tree will become more
dense and spreading. 5-gal. containers, 5-7
ft., $1.35; gal. containers, 4-5 ft., 35c.

A. floribunda. ‘“‘Everblooming Acacia.”’ 25
ft. A fast, upright growing tree, making a
dense round head. Long, narrow leaves,
small creamy yellow flowers blooming con-
stantly during the summer. 5-gal. containers,
5-7 ft., $1.35; gal. containers, 4-5 ft., 50c.

of foliage, thriving anywhere. Particularly
fine where exposed to direct ocean winds.

ers, 4-5 ft., 50c.

A. melanoxylon. “Black Acacia.’’ 40 ft.

street tree, because it grows very rapidly
under almost all soil and climatic conditions.
Naturally pyramidal but may be trained into
globes or other shapes. 5-gal. containers,
5-7 ft., $1.85; gal. containers, 4-5 ft., 35c.

ing Acacia has the showiest and most spec-
tacular flowers of all; immense clusters of
rich canary-yellow flowers borne in profusion
from November to February when flowers are
scarce. Beautiful, large, downy, blue-gray
foliage. 5-gal. containers, 3-5 ft., $1.50; gal.
containers, 2-3 ft., 50c.

Hymenosporum

Hymenosporum flavum. Australia. 25 ft. If
you want a tree in your garden which has
the most sweetly fragrant flowers of any
small evergreen tree that you can possibly
grow, this is the kind you should select. It
makes a slender shapely small tree, with
handsome foliage, and in spring and early
summer produces masses of large, tubular,
creamy-yellow blossoms with twice the size
and iwice the fragrance of orange blossoms
—believe it or not. Perfectly hardy anywhere
except in desert sections. Our plants are
small, but they are rare in any size. 4-inch
pots, 1] it., 75c:

Cape Chestnut

Calodendrum capensis. ‘“‘Cape Chestnut.’’
40 ft. One of the most magnificent flowering
trees in the world is the beautiful Cape
Chestnut from South Africa. It forms an
immense globular head of foliage in Cali-
fornia, and in early summer is almost solid-
ly covered with great panicles of rose-
lavender bloom. It is not a difficult tree to
grow, is quite hardy, and prefers the light-
er, well-drained soils, needing little water.
Even its name, Calodendrum, is a Greek
word meaning “Beautiful Tree,’’ and it lives
up to this characterization even when out
of bloom, for its large glossy foliage is
handsome at all times. Only recently has
seed been available so that trees could be
pence nT California. Gal. containers, 3-4
t., -00.

Lagunaria

Lagunaria pattersoni. 20 ft. This small tree
from Australia is seldom planted in Califor-
nia but is exceptionally fine for narrow park-
ways or locations where a large tree is not
desired. The foliage is grey-green and the
flowers, waxy rose-pink, 2!/, inches across,
are exquisitely beautiful and borne in great
profusion in July. 5-gal. containers, $1.50;
gal. containers, 50c.

oy,

ome

Camphor Tree

Camphora officinalis. *‘Camphor Tree.’’ 100

for narrow parkways as a street tree. Al-
ways handsome with its dense, bright green,
glossy foliage tinged with rich bronze in
spring. See photograph opposite page. 5-gal.

Carob

Ceratonia siliqua. ‘St. John’s Bread or
Carob.” 40 ft. Admirably adapted as a iree
for ornamental street planting, or as single
specimens. Its symmetrical shape and dense,
glossy, evergreen foliage, the same through-
out the year, make the Carob one of the most
desired street trees. It is long-lived, deep-
rooted, does not become too large or strag-
gly, and is a most satisfactory tree under all
climatic conditions. 5-gal. containers, 5-7 ft.,
$1.35; gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 50c.

Evergreen Dogwood

Cornus capitata. “Evergreen Dogwood.’
(Himalayas.) 20 ft. Not only is this little
known flowering tree just the right size for
many locations where a small round-headed
tree is needed, but when covered in June
with its showy 38-inch cream-colored flowers
it is a beautiful sight. And the flowers are
followed by big showy scarlet fruit. Hardy
any place except in desert regions. 5-gal.

CAMPHOR TREE
A Splendid Small, Slow-Growing Evergreen Tree.

| The Useful Eucalyptus

Of all exotic trees introduced into California, none has identified itself so
| completely with the California landscape as the Australian Eucalyptus. Many
kinds are well suited to park and street planting. Others are valued highly for
| their magnificently colored flowers. The tall, fast-growing varieties are excellent
| for windbreaks and wood. For Arizona and other arid inland regions, we recom-
mend E. rudis, E. rostrata, E. viminalis, E. tereticornis, and E. polyanthemos.

E. tereticornis. “‘Gray Gum.’ 150 ft.
Thrives under a great variety of conditions,
both on the coast and in the desert. Will
use plenty of water but does not require
it, and stands extremes of heat and cold.
Gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 50c; flats of 100, $3.

E. viminalis. “‘Manna Gum.” 125 ft. A
very hardy variety, enduring both heat
and cold, and exceeded in rapidity of
growth only by the Blue Gum, while it
will grow in colder situations. Its long,
pendulous, narrow leaves and chalky white
trunk make it very picturesque. 5-gal. con-
tainers, 6-8 ft., $1.25; gal. containers, 3-4
ft., 50c; flats of 100, $3.00.

ers, 6 inches long. Very drought-resistant and
easily grown. 5-gal. containers, 5-7 ft., $1.35;
gal. containers, 3-5 ft., 50c.

Harpullia

Harpullia arborea. 50 ft. For a tree that is
new and rare, as well as extremely beautiful
in foliage and flower, we can recommend
nothing finer than this tree from the South Sea
Islands. Has large bright green foliage. The
seeds have peculiar large appendages of
brilliant red and in the spring it looks like a
magnificent great Christmas tree hung with
brilliant red decorations. Plant only in fairly
warm situations. 7-inch pots, 1}/2-2 ft, $2.50.

FLOWERS OF BAUHINIA PURPUREA
Showy Colorings of Pink, Purple, and Yellow.

Jacaranda

Jacaranda mimosaefolia. 30 ft. One of the
handsomest flowering trees grown in Southern
California. Forms a round, symmetrical head
of light green, fernlike foliage, and in spring
the entire tree is a mass of light violet-blue
tubular flowers, borne in clusters. Should not
be planted where the temperature frequently
goes below 20 degrees. See illustration pre-
ceding page. 5-gal. containers, 6-8 ft., $1.35;

EVERGREEN TREES \

Oaks «

The Famous Silver Tree

Leucadendron argenteum. “Silver Tree.’
15-30 ft. This is one of the world’s most fa-
mous trees and is found growing wild only
on Table Mountain at the Cape of Good Hope.
California is one of the few places in the
world where the tree thrives outside of its na-
tive home. The lance-shaped leaves are 3 to
6 inches in length, densely covered with
silvery-white, silky hairs, and even the limbs
are silky. It is a beautiful tree because every-
thing about it is silvery-white, and the name
itself in Greek means “White Tree.’’ It is in-
deed the whitest tree grown. Thrives in the
milder districts of Southern California where
the temperature does not go below 28 degrees
and the drainage is good. 8-inch pots, 2-3 ft.,
$1.50; 4-inch pots, 75c.

Magnolia

Magnolia grandiflora. “‘Southern Magnolia.’
60 ft. The well-known Magnolia of the South,
making a large, stately tree in time, although
of slow growth. Has beautiful dark green,
heavy, shining foliage and in the summer and
fall produces its magnificent large pearly-
white flowers 6 to 8 inches across, intensely
fragrant. The Magnolia is not as much appre-
ciated in California as it should be, and al-
though a tree of comparatively slow growth,
eventually it makes one of the largest and
noblest specimens that can be grown. While
not particular as to soil, it should have a
considerable amount of water when young.
Heavy trees, with large, well-branched heads,
field grown, 6-8 ft., $2.00; S-gal. containers,
pubtanched: 5-7 ft., $1.50; gal. containers, 2-3
ity eh

Dwarf Everblooming
Magnolia

Magnolia exoniensis. A valuable and rare
form of the Southern Magnolia, which grows
only to 12 or 15 feet, making a beautiful small
tree, compact and handsome with its large,
dark green glossy leaves. Its finest charac-
teristic is the great quantity of big, fragrant
flowers that it bears all summer long from
June to October, beginning when it is only a
few feet high. The great cupped, snowy
blooms possess a most delicious fragrance,
which combines the fresh fruity scents of
lemon and pineapple with the richest spices.
Hardy almost anywhere except in the desert.
See colored illustration on front cover. Balled,
field grown, 4-6 ft., $2.50; 3-4 ft., $2.00; gal.
containers, 11/)-2 ft., 85c.

For spring flowering Deciduous Magnolias
see page 43.

Quercus agrifolia. ‘‘California Live Oak.’’
50 ft. The most picturesque trees that
grace the landscape of California are the
evergreen oaks. This variety is the best
native species, with medium sized, toothed
leaves, making a large, dense, handsome,
fast growing tree. We can enthusiastically
recommend it for planting on home
grounds, for parkways and street planting,
and for any other location where a good
sized, fast growing, evergreen shade tree
is wanted. We know of nothing better for
a general purpose shade tree than this
splendid native Oak. 5-gal. containers,
5-7 ft., $1.50; gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 50c.

Quercus virginiana. ‘Southern Live
Oak.” 40 ft. A beautiful evergreen Oak
which is native to the South Atlantic
States and has large glossy 5-inch leaves,
much bigger than those of the California
Live Oak. It grows rapidly into a not-too-
large tree and makes a beautiful specimen
in California, thriving everywhere but in
ine eoceo regions. Gal. containers, 2-3
on c.

Q. suber. ““Cork Oak.’’ 50 ft. From this
big, beautiful, fast growing Oak, cork is
obtained commercially. It is a magnificent
specimen, which looks something like the
native California Live Oak, and the thick
furrowed, spongy bark makes it doubly
interesting. It is native to Spain and Portugal
and grows naturally under conditions very
much like those in California, and it makes
itself just as much at home in our dry soils
das our own native Live Oak. 5-gal. containers,
5-7 ft., $1.50; gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 50c.

Macadamia
Macadamia ternifolia. “‘Australian Nut.’’ We
have listed this beautiful evergreen tree with
the Sub-tropical Fruit Trees because of its
highly prized nuts, but it can be recommended
as a handsome evergreen ornamental tree.
See page 8.

Pepper Tree

Schinus molle. ‘‘California Pepper.’’ 50 ft.
This unique and beautiful tree has become so
identified with California that it stands as a
symbol of the Golden State. Grows anywhere
with little care. Its handsome foliage and red
berries, which stay on through the winter,
and the gnarled, rugged trunk, make it a
picturesque tree, and because of the fact that
it thrives so easily and shades a great space
of ground under conditions unsuited to many
more pampered trees, it will always be a val-
uable tree for California. 5-gal. containers,
5-6 ft., $1.35; gal. containers, 4-5 ft., 35c.

S. terebinthifolius. ‘Brazilian Pepper.’’ 50
ft. Not so well known as the above but just
as valuable a tree, having larger, longer
leaves and greater quantities of brilliant scar-
let berries. Does remarkably well under the
hottest desert conditions, and also a splendid
tree on the seacoast. 5-gal. containers, 6-8
ft., $1.35; gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 50c.

CALIFORNIA LIVE OAK
One of the Finest Trees for Street

Planting and Home Grounds Through-

out Most of California.

THE UNIQUE SILVER TREE
Everything About It Is Silvery White.

Flame Tree

Sterculia acerifolia. ‘Flame Tree.’ 50 ft.
A wonderful tree, with large, shining, maple-
like leaves, producing in the early summer
great quantities of small cup-shaped blooms
of rich red on scarlet stems. It may be mis-
taken at a distance for a particularly fine
Red Flowering Eucalyptus. In the southern
coastal counties it is one of the showiest
flowering trees that can be planted. It has the
odd habit of dropping its leaves just before
the flowers appear, and you cannot blame it
for wanting to fully display its glorious color.
5-gal. containers, z§ ft. , $1.50; gal. contain-
ers, 3-4 ft., $1.35; gal. containers, 2-3 ft., 50c.

Sterculia diversifolia. “Bottle Tree.’ 25 ft.
Excellent for narrow parkways and dry soils,
because of its small narrow shape and deep
rooted habit. A good desert tree. 5-gal. con-
tomers: 4-5 ft., $1.35; gal. containers, 2-3 ft.,

Athel Tree

Tamarix articulata. ‘‘Athel Tree.’’ 30 ft. A
fast growing, bushy tree much used as a
windbreak in desert sections. Slender branches
and grey-green foliage. Must be grown from
cuttings ented where trees are to remain.
Leave only one or two inches of cutting above
ground. Cuttings, 12 inches long, $2.50 per 100.

California Tatrel

Umbellularia Californica. ‘‘California Laurel.”
25 ft. A native of the California mountains,
with long, narrow, dark green leaves, pun-
gent when crushed. Slow growing, perma-
nent, and handsome. It is one of the finest
small evergreen trees and thrives equally well
in dry or moist soils, in sun or shade, but is
not suited to desert conditions. Grows natur-
ally bushy from the ground but may be
trained up to one trunk if desired. 5-gal. con-
tainers, 3-4 ft., bushy, $1.50; gal. containers,
2-3 ft., SUc.

The Evergreen Elm

Ulmus sempervirens. “Evergreen Elm.’ 25
ft. One of the most beautiful elms in cultiva-
tion. A small tree with a spreading crown of
slender drooping branches and delicate,
bright green leaves. For a small home shade
tree or a street tree of modest size, we highly
recommend it. It is absolutely hardy any-
where and is evergreen, except in cold sec-
tions where its leaves are dropped for a short
time in winter. Large specimens, with big
heads on 6 foot stems, $3.00; 5-gal. containers,
5-7 ft., $1.50; gal. containers, 3-4 ft., 60c.

THE GIANT SEQUOIA

It Looks This Way for the First Hundred Years

Coniferous Evergreen

The Conifers or Cone-bearing Evergreens embrace a wide variety
of trees and shrubs, almost all of them with needle or scale-like ever-
green foliage. Most of them are native to cold climates, and are, of
course, admirably suited to mountain regions and other areas where the
temperatures are low. However, many of them will do equally well
anywhere in the California valleys or coastal regions. The larger con-
iferous trees are best planted where they will have plenty of room to
spread out, and in no case should their lower branches be trimmed
away, for it ruins the natural outline of the trees. Nearly all conifers
are field grown and are dug with a ball of earth on the roots, such
plants being designated as “balled” in the description below.

California’s Outdoor

Christmas Tree

Cedrus deodara. ‘“‘Deodar.’’ 100 ft.
The finest conifer for most of Cali-
fornia, particularly the southern por-
tion, is the famous Deodar Cedar from
the Himalaya mountains. It makes a
magnificent stately tree of towering
pyramidal form, with great sweeping
branches, and it should be given a
location where it will have plenty of
room to spread out since it makes a
large tree in the course of the years.
Its silvery bluish-green foliage is more
suited to our California conditions than
the darker more somber evergreens
of the North and East. The Deodar is
a native of the slopes of the Himalayas
in northern India and Afghanistan, re-
gions of heavy snowfall, but the tree
seems to have found a congenial cli-
mate in California. Balled, any size
from 2 to 8 ft., 75c per foot; boxed,

same time a valuable crop. See page 17.

Weeping Willow
Salix Babylonica. 40 ft. The well-known
picturesque ‘‘Weeping Willow.’’ Large spread-
ing top and long pendulous branches. Thrives
in dry or wet soils and attains great size very
quickly. 10-12 ft., $1.00; 8-10 ft., 85c; 6-8 ft.,
75c; 4-6 ft., 60c.

Salix annularis. ‘“‘Ringleaf Weeping Willow.”
30 ft. In growth very similar to the ordinary
Weeping Willow but each leaf is curled and
twisted into a ring. An oddly beautiful tree
which is very attractive beside a pool. Same
sizes and prices as Salix babylonica above.

DECIDUOUS SHADE TNees

Double Flowering
Japanese Apricots

We are offering this year two double flow-
ering varieties of the Japanese Apricot (Prunus
mume), trees that are quite extraordinary in
several respects. The white flowering variety

is the very earliest of all flowering trees in °

bloom and the original trees from which our
plants are propagated were in bloom on Janu-
ary 13th in 1933. If you will look around at
that time of year, you will see how little
flowering material there is available, even in
California.

But even more unique than the early bloom-
ing habit is the intense spicy clove and cin-
namon fragrance of the blooms, a fragrance
which, in our opinion, excels that of any other
spring flowering tree or plant. The little,
double, half inch flowers lining every tree and
branch look like little double roses and keep
opening for a month or more. The tree is
about 12 feet high and 8 feet across.

White Flowering Japanese Apricot. Flowers
pure white, blooming early in January before
any other flowering tree.

Pink Flowering Japanese Apricot. Little
double flowers of bright rose-pink, deepening
to reddish-purple, with the same spicy frag-
rance, but blooming one month later than the
white variety above.

Either of the above two colors, 4-6 ft., 85c;
3-4 ft., 75c.

The Coral Tree

Erythrina crista-galli. ‘Coral Tree.’’ Brazil.
10 to 15 ft. Forms a large corky trunk, send-
ing out much new growth in the spring on
which are produced many large, butterfly-like
crimson flowers in spikes, often 2 feet long.
A luxuriant, exotic, brilliantly colored plant
which is hardy anywhere except in the cold-
est sections of California. 5-gal. containers,
$1.35; gal. containers, 50c.

Chinese Magnolia

Magnolia soulangeana. 20 ft. In gardens the
world over, the spring flowering Magnolias, of
which this variety is one of the best, are
much loved and admired for their great lily-
like blooms in April, before the leaves appear.
The flowers of this variety have petals which
are creamy-white inside and reddish-purple
outside. Makes a big spreading shrub quickly
anywhere, except in the desert regions, and
prefers plenty of water. We have a large
stock and are offering the plants at a lower
price than for many years. Large bushy
plants, 2-3 ft., $2.50.

JAPANESE APRICOT
Blooms in January, with an intense spicy
fragrance.

Three Unusual Small
Flowering Trees

Cercis canadensis. ‘“‘Redbud.” 15 ft. An
exceedingly showy small tree in early spring
when covered with small, bright rosy pink
flowers. Easily naturalized in canyon or hill-
side, growing without care and producing a
brilliant effect in the spring. 6-8 ft., $1.00;
4-6 ft., 75c; 3-4 ft., 60c.

Cercis occidentalis. ‘‘California Redbud.”’
10 ft. A native of the California foothills, a
little smaller than the above variety and with

deeper colored reddish-purple flowers. Very
showy. 3-4 ft., 60c.

Crataegus oxycantha splendens. ‘‘Paul’s
Double Scarlet Hawthorn."’ Double scarlet

flowers in spring and bright red berries in
fall and winter. Splendid for a small, hardy,
brilliantly colored tree, particularly in the
mountains or near the coast. 5-6 ft., $1.50.

Another New

Flowering Tree

Flowering Peach-Almond Hybrid. 15 ft.
This remarkable Hybrid was developed by
Mr. C. O. Smith Bf the University of Cali-
fornia, and it is one of the loveliest spring
flowering trees that we have ever ob-
served. It is a pleasure to offer them here
for the first time. The tree is about 15 feet
high and as much across, much branched,
and about March 15th is absolutely cov-
ered with magnificent great flowers, rose-
pink in the bud, flesh or silvery-pink when
fully open, each flower l!/, to 2 inches
across, and resembling large apple blos-
soms. While the fragrance is not as de-
cided as the Prunus mumes above, it is
exceptionally fine. During the summer it
is covered with handsome dark green fol-
iage. We highly recommend this variety
as something unusual in a flowering tree.
pees ilustraton at left. 6-8 ft., $1.00; 4-6
on Cc.

Flowering Apricot
Mme. Dorbon

Mme. Dorbon. 15 ft. This handsome
Flowering Apricot has always been one of
our favorite flowering trees, every twig
and branch being lined very early in the
spring (about February 10th) with large,
fragrant, bright rose-pink blossoms. Only
Prunus mume exceeds it in earliness. 6-8

ft., $1.00; 4-6 ft., 85c; 3-4 ft., 75c.

ing Peach-Almond Hybrid, but you'll have
to grow it to appreciate the delicate color
and delicious fragrance.

SPRING FLOWERING TREES

Almost every garden has room for a tree or two of this group, for every variety that we list below will make a magnificent
show of color for several weeks in the spring, providing a mass of bloom in the garden and for cut sprays for indoor decora-
tion. We call especial attention to the fragrant new Double Flowering Japanese Apricots and the magnificent Flowering
Peach-Almond Hybrid described on the left-hand page.

CHINESE MAGNOLIA

Magnificent lily-like purple and white

blooms.

Flowering Crab Apples

No flowering tree will bring the gaiety of
spring into the garden more colorfully than
the Flowering Crabs. Even one tree in a gar-
den will provide a delicate spot of color so
delightful and picturesque that its blooming
period will be one of the important events of
the year, while the bright colored little scar-
let and crimson fruits provide additional color
all through the late summer, fall and winter,
so that the trees are never without interest.

Price on all Flowering Crabs, except M.
Sargenti: 6-8 ft., 85c; 4-6 ft., 75c; 3-4 ft., 60c.

Malus arnoldiana. ‘Arnold Crab.’’ 10 ft.
Dwarf and bushy, more like a big shrub than
a tree, with very large rose colored flowers,
turning white as they age. The contrast,
which is always present between the rose and
the white, is unique.

M. ioensis Bachteli. ‘‘Bechtel’s Double
Flowering Crab."’ 8 to 12 ft. Trees of small
to medium size, covered in early spring with
large, beautiful, double fragrant flowers of
a delicate pink color, like small roses.

M. mandshurica. “‘Manchurian Crab.’’ 20
ft. Particularly valuable because it is the
very earliest Crab to bloom, and at the
same time its pure white flowers produced
in extreme profusion are the most fragrant
of all the Asiatic Crab Apples. The fruit,
just the size of a good sized pea, are a
shining red.

M. Sargenti. 6 ft. The pigmy of the Crab
Apple family, forming a low, densely
branched shrub which hugs the ground,
covered in spring with clusters of large,
pure white flowers with bright yellow an-
thers, followed by showy wine-red fruit
pece hang on all through the winter. 3-4

fy BOC.

M. theifera. “Tea Crab.”’ This is the very
quintessence of Crab Apple loveliness. A
small tree, seldom more than 20 feet in
height, and when in blossom each branch
is transformed into a floral plume into
which it is impossible to thrust a finger
without touching a flower. The buds are
reddish-pink and open to pure white, del-
icately stained with pale pink. The Chi-
nese peasants make tea from the leaves.

Dwarf Japanese Flowering Peach. A
unique tree that makes a perfectly rounded
head of foliage, never more than 5 feet
high and as much across, covered with
big brilliant red, double flowers in Feb-
Tuary. 1-2 ft., 75c.

Flowering Peaches

For an easily and quickly obtained mass of
spring color, there is nothing to excel the
Flowering Peaches. They will grow with the
greatest ease anywhere and never fail to
produce a great profusion of bloom. Not only
are the trees a source of great admiration in
the garden, but the trees rather enjoy having
their branches cut for indoor use. The kinds
described below are listed in the order of
their blooming periods, which are approxi-
mate, depending upon the season and loca-
tion. All have double flowers, so choose the
colors you want and the time when you want
them to bloom.

Price on all varieties below: 4-6 ft., 75c; 3-4
ft., 60c.

Early Rose Pink. The earliest of all and the
most popular of all the Flowering Peaches be-
cause of its earliness and profusion of bloom.
February 15th.

Early Red. A magnificent clear ruby-red, ex-
tremely showy. February 20th.

Variegated. An unusual kind, with white
flowers, striped with carmine, occasionally
showing solid red flowers. February 25th.

Pure White. Immense snow-white blooms
line every twig and branch. March Sth.

Late Rose Pink. About the same as the
Early Rose Pink but blooms three weeks later.
March 10th.

Late Red. The same rich ruby-red as the
earlier one but blooming three weeks later.
March 10th.

Late Salmon Pink. For delicacy of coloring
and graceful arrangement of the flowers, this
lovely kind ranks first. The flowers do not all
open at once so that buds and open blooms
are always present, and the enormous flowers
are a light salmon pink. March 15th.

Flowering Plums

Prunus Blireana. 10 ft. A rather dwarf bushy
tree, profusely covered about March first with
many double, rich pink blooms, while the
foliage throughout the rest of the summer is
much more attractive than many flowering
trees. 4-6 ft., 85c; 3-4 ft., 75c.

Prunus Pissardi. 15 ft. An excellent Flower-
ing Plum, with rich reddish-purple foliage,

splendid as a contrast with other shades of
green, and beautiful when covered with _ its
small, pale pink blooms in spring.6 -8 ft., 85c;
4-6 ft., 75c.

Japanese Flowering
Cherries

Not without reason have the Japanese
looked upon the Flowering Cherry with admir-
ation which amounts almost to reverence and
given the greatest care to growing and prop-
agating the finest types. Whoever has seen a
Japanese Flowering Cherry in full bloom will
never rest until he has one in his garden, and
since the trees used to be imported from
Japan, they have been scarce for many years
and the price has been high, but now good
trees are available at reasonable prices, and
since they will grow almost anywhere and
require little care (except plenty of water,
which they should have) all California gar-
dens should have at least one Flowering
Cherry. We do not recommend them for des-
ert regions, and in the warmer inland valleys
they should be planted in a somewhat shel-
tered place.

Price on all varieties below, except Cam-
panulata: 4-6 ft., $1.00; 3-4 ft., 85c; 2-3 ft., 75c.

Botanzakura. 12 ft. Very large flowers, 2
inches across, in a beautiful shade of deep
rose-pink. Unquestionably one of the finest
Cherries.

Campanulata. 10 ft. An entirely different
type of Flowering Cherry from the other kinds
described and a very early bloomer, the bril-
liant rosy-red single flowers appearing almost
two months before the other kinds bloom. It
thrives much better in the warmer regions of
Southern California than the other varieties
and never fails to have a heavy crop of
bloom. 6-8 ft., $1.25; 4-6 ft., $1.00; 3-4 ft., 85c.

Kwanzan. 15 ft. The deepest color of all our
Flowering Cherries, producing great masses
of rich, 2-inch, double, deep pink flowers, the
buds being almost red. When in full bloom,
the rich bronze foliage begins to appear,
offering a lovely color combination.

Naden. 15 ft. Double, deep pink flowers, 11/2
inches across, blooming later than all other
varieties listed here but with more flowers
than any kind except Campanulata.

Shirofugen. 15 ft. Has the very largest flow-
ers of any variety that we grow, deep pink
in the bud and pale pink in the open flowers.
It is almost impossible to describe the beauty
of this tree when in full bloom, but the illus-
tration below will give some idea of what the
flower clusters look like

THE SMOKE TREE
Resembles a Cloud of Purple Smoke.

Dwarf Flowering Almond

Amydalus alba nana. “Dwarf White Flow-
ering Almond.” 6 ft. This beautiful shrub
bears a mass of little, double, white flowers
in early spring, and is particularly effective
when planted among evergreens so that its
beauty is displayed against a background of
green. 3-4 ft., 85c; 2-3 ft., 75c; 11/2-2 ft., 60c.

A. rosea nana. ‘Dwarf Pink Flowering Alm-
ond.” 6 ft. A little plant of rare beauty with
small buttonlike flowers of soft pink which

half-shade. Balled, bushy, 12-15 inches, $2.50;
9-12 inches, $1.25.

Azalea altaclarensis. 4 ft. Similar to the
above but the flowers are a clear, brilliant
yellow. The evergreen Kurume Azaleas are
described on page 23. Balled, 15-18 inches,
$2.50; 9-12 inches, $1.75.

Sweet Shrub

Calycanthus floridus. “Sweet Shrub.’” 6
ft. A bushy, dark-leaved shrub with many
sweetly fragrant chocolate-colored flowers in
spring. A favorite of the old-time garden and
prone ae just as much admired in the new.
4-5 it., 60c.

Armstrong

Deciduous

This group includes all those hardy shrubs from 3 to 10 feet in height which lose
their leaves in winter and burst forth in spring and early summer with profuse
quantities of beautiful flowers. They thrive under almost all climatic conditions,
and we should plant more of them on the Pacific Coast, for they offer a delightful
contrast to our evergreen shrubs. We call particular attention to the unusual new
Kolkwitzia, the new Korean Spirea and the fragrant Viburnum carlesi.

For Summer Blue

Ceanothus Gloire de Versailles. 8 ft. One
of the finest of blue flowering shrubs.
evergreen on the Pacific Coast and hardy
anywhere except in desert regions, bearing
all spring and summer large flower clusters
of rich bright blue, the flowers being much
larger than those of the native California
Wild Lilac described on page 37. Gal. con-
tainers, 11/.-2 ft., 60c.

Flowering Dogwood

Cornus florida. ‘Flowering Dogwood.’ 10
ft. Handsome foliage and great numbers of
large, showy, single white flowers. Sun or

cover the tree before foliage appears in
spring. The most beautiful of the Dogwoods.
5-gal. containers, 3-4 ft., $2.00.

Deutzia

Deutzia crenata rosea. “‘Double Rose Deut-
zia. 8 ft. Hardy, vigorous, erect growing
shrub,’ its arching branches covered with a
great profusion of double white flowers,
tinged with rose. 3-4 ft., 75c; 2-3 ft., 60c.

D. gracilis. 4 ft. A beautiful little bush
with slender arching branches, covered with
spikes of double white flowers in early sum-
mer. A beautiful plant for places where there
is no room for the larger flowering shrubs.
3-4 ft., 75c; 2-3 ft., 60c.

Forsythia

Forsythia fortunei. ‘Golden Bells.’ 8 ft. A
free-flowering shrub, with handsome clean
foliage and showy yellow flowers, borne in
great profusion along the slender branches in
the very early spring, it being one of the first
flowering shrubs to bloom. The foliage re-
mains a clean bright green until late fall.
2-3 ft., 60c; 11/,-2 ft., 50c.

Japanese Rose

Kerria japonica. ‘Japanese Rose.’ 6 ft.
Semi-deciduous with slender arching green
branches, and many small double bright yel-
low flowers throughout spring and summer.
Perfectly hardy anywhere, and it is one of
the few spring flowering shrubs which will
thrive in part shade; in fact, the blooms are
a brighter color in shade than in full sun.
Gal. containers, 2-3 ft., 50c.

Half :

Beautybush

Kolkwitzia amabilis. ‘‘Beautybush.” 6 ft.
A fine new hardy flowering shrub from Cen-
tral China, forming a perfectly symmetrical
bush fountain-like in habit, every branch in
the spring becoming a plume of pink blos-
soms, mottled with orange. A shrub that will
thrive almost anywhere, delighting in cold,
open, exposed positions where it gets plenty
of sun and wind. Requires little attention but
provides much beauty. 11/)-2 ft., 75c.

Crepe Myrtle

During the hot summer days of July, August
and September the interior sections of Cali-
fornia are sometimes a little devoid of color,
but Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia) is one de-
pendable shrub or small tree which always
flaunts a mass of color at that season of the
year. The most familiar shades are pink and
watermelon-red, and lovely they are. The
white is a little more intimate in its beauty,
and we call particular attention to the Dwarf
Lavender and Dwarf Red which we intro-
duced into California. Crepe Myriles do not
bloom so well directly on the coast, but any-
where in the interior valleys their crinkled,
crepe like flowers are produced in great pro-
usion.

Prices on all varieties of Crepe Myrtles de-
scribed below, except the White: 5-gal. con-

tainers, 2-4 ft., $1.35; gal. containers, 11/2-3
ft) 0c
Lagerstroemia indica rosea. ‘‘Pink Crepe

Myrtle.”’ 10-20 ft. A lovely pastel pink.

Red Crepe Myrtle. 10-15 ft
melon-red.

White Crepe Myrtle. 10-15 ft. This variety,
with snowy-white blossoms, is difficult to
propagate and is rarely seen. Gal. containers,
1-2 ft., $1.00.

Dwarf Lavender Crepe Myrtle. 8-10 ft. A
dwarf variety only recently introduced to Cali-
fornia, lovely lavender-blue in color, with a
delicate, elusive beauty of its own.

Dwarf Red Crepe Myrtle. Similar in color
to the watermelon-red described above but
even more profuse in bloom, while the plant
grows to only 8 feet in height and is a solid
mass of brilliant color in the summer.

Rich water-

Purple Crepe Myrtle. The deepest shade of
all, a rich lavender-purple, quite unusual and
rare.

Flowering Quince

Cydonio japonica rosea. 6-10 ft. The earliest
deciduous shrub to flower, its leafless branches
displaying the brilliant rosy-red flowers in
January, and if cut before that time and
placed in water in the house they will open
up even in December. This variety and the
two following kinds all have handsome glossy
foliage throughout the summer. They like a
sunny spot in order to produce plenty of
their bright flowers, and every home place
should include one or more plants. If you
haven't much room, plant C. maulei. 2-3 ft.,
75c; 12-2 ft., 60c.

C. japonica sanguinea. ‘Scarlet Flowering
Quince.”’ 3-10 ft. While it does not produce
quite as many flowers at one time in the
spring as does the above, the blooms are a
much brighter scarlet and are scattered over
the plant all through the spring and summer.
Almost everblooming. 2-3 ft., 75c; 11/2-2 ft., 60c.

Cydonia maulei. “Dwarf Flowering Quince.”
A unique dwarf variety which never gets
more than 3 feet high and produces almost
throughout the year its showy 1/2 inch orange-
scarlet flowers. 11/,-2 ft., 75c.

SPRING FLOWERING SHRUBS

Syringa

Philadelphus coronarius. ‘Garland Philadelphus.”’ 8
ft. Its tall arching branches are covered in the spring
with large, creamy-white flowers as fragrant as orange
blossoms. This is the Syringa of the old-fashioned gar-
den. 4-6 ft., 85c; 3-4 ft., 60c.

Philadelphus virginal. 8 ft. A new improved form of
the Syringa, with extremely large, pure white, semi-
double, fragrant blooms, the flowers being much larger
than the ordinary form and even more profuse in bloom
1-2 ft., 75c.

Philadelphus Mt. Blanc. 4 ft. Lower growing and
more compact than the other Syringas, and the flow-
ers are smaller and very double. 1}/2-2 ft., 60c.

Flowering Pomegranate

The ornamental Pomegranates are fast growing shrubs,
with big, showy, double flowers, 2 to 3 inches across,
and borne in great profusion in early summer. The
flowering Pomegranates, considering the beauty of their
flowers and the rich bronze and green color of the
foliage, have not been fully appreciated in California
gardens. We highly recommend them for planting in
corners, against walls, and in the patios of California
homes, where we guarantee they will be an unfailing
source of beauty.

The price on all of the following varieties, 2-3 ft., 60c.

White Flowering Pomegranate. Big, double, creamy-
white flowers, followed by bright red fruits.

Mme. Legrelle. Light red flowers, edged and flecked
with creamy-yellow.

Double Red. Big, showy, double, scarlet flowers.

For fruiting Pomegranates see page 16, and for dwarf
evergreen Pomegranates see page 31.

The Smoke Tree

Rhus cotinus. “Smoke Tree.’’ 12 ft. One of the most
unusual and unique small hardy trees is the Smoke
Tree, with its handsome dense foliage all summer, sur-
mounted in the autumn with many loose feathery pan-
icles of minute flowers which give the effect of a dense
cloud of smoke. Thrives anywhere and prefers a sunny
dry position. In colder sections the foliage also turns a
brilliant color in autumn. 2-3 ft., 75c.

FLOWERING ALMONDS
Provide a Rich Spot of Color in the Garden.

Robinia hispida macrophylla.

The Beautiful Rose Acacia

“Pink Flowering Locust or Rose Acacia.”’
One of the showiest and most easily grown small flowering trees, and one
which will thrive in almost every section. This variety naturally grows only
about three feet high, so in order to get the flowers up in the air where
they will be better seen and appreciated, we have top-grafted them into
heavy stems of Black Locust at a height of six feet, forming large heads
which will eventually become about six feet in diameter and which in the
spring are a mass of large, brilliantly colored, rose-pink flowers which look
like a mammoth bouquet of sweet peas.

Large trees, $1.50

Pussy Willow

Salix discolor. ‘Pussy Willow.”’ 15 ft.
A large shrub which in the early spring
is covered with the long, silky, catkins
which make the branches so valuable
for decorating. Grows anywhere. 6-8 ft.,
75c; 3-4 ft., 60c.

The Fragrant Lilac

The old-fashioned Lilac with its sweet-
scented, delicately colored flowers does
well in the cooler coastal or higher
mountain regions of California, but is
not to be highly recommended for the
warmer interior valleys.

Price, except where noted, 85c each.

on the Pacific Coast, for it is one of
the few hardy blue flowering plants
and is covered in June with 8-inch
spikes of bright lavender-blue flowers
Very showy and thrives anywhere, pre-
ferring a dry, sunny position. 1!/,-2

Spirea

Spirea Anthony Waterer. 4 ft This dwarf,
compact Spirea bears bright rosy-crimson
flowers in dense panicles from spring un-
til fall. 1-2 ft., 50c.

Spirea trichocarpa. ‘Korean Spirea.’’ 6
ft. A recently introduced plant from Korea
It makes a spreading shrub of dome-
shaped habit, 4 to 6 feet high and as
much across, each arching shoot becom-
ing a solid plume of flower clusters in
early spring, and the entire bush becom-
ing a fountain of white. Hardy anywhere.
1-2 ft., 60c.

S. van Houttei. ‘Bridal Wreath.’’ 8 ft.
A charming shrub of moderate size which
almost everybody knows and wants to
enjoy in their garden. The arching wreath-
like branches are loaded with their white
flowers in spring. 2-3 ft., 60c.

Fragrant Viburnum

Viburnum carlesi. “‘The Fragrant Vibur-
num.” 4 ft. This recently introduced plant
from Korea is one of the finest ornamentals
ever brought in from Asia, and it should
be a great favorite in American gardens
for it will grow in almost any situation,
being perfectly hardy, and half evergreen
in California. Dwarf and bushy, with
grayish-green foliage, producing in early
spring many heads of delicate coral pink
blooms which become pearl white as they
open and possess a most intense and
exquisite fragrance. One of the most mar-
velously delicious scents that can be im-
agined and if you only had one of its
lovely flower clusters each year, it would
be well worth growing. Slight but not full
shode. Balled, 2-3 ft., $2.00; 2-2 ft.,
$1.50; S-inch pots, 15-18 inches, $1.00.

Indian Currant

Symphorocarpos vulgaris. ‘Indian Cur-
rant.’ 4 ft. A beautiful little plant with
light green foliage profusely covered in
the fall with lovely coral-red berries
which remain on the plant all winter.
It is one of the finest shrubs for winter
color because of this characteristic. Ex-
cellent for Arizona. 11/2-2 ft., 60c.

Flowering Tamarix

Tamarix parviflora. 15 ft. A large shrub
with reddish bark and slender, spread-
ing branches, covered in spring and
early summer with feathery, pink flow-
ers. Thrives almost anywhere, doing
just as well directly on the ocean front
in the very spray of the salt water as
in the hottest desert regions. Requires
very little water and will grow in alka-
line soil. A very useful shrub. 3-4 ft., 60c

Snowball

Viburnum opulus Sterile. ‘‘Snowball.”’
8 to 10 f.t The favorite old-fashioned
shrub producing an abundance of white,
globular flowers in May and June
Grows anywhere, in any soil, under all
climatic conditions, and always a solid
mass of blooms in the spring. 2-3 ft., 50c.

W eigela

Weigela rosea. 6 ft. The large clusters
of trumpet-shaped, rose-pink flowers
make a wonderful display in the spring
and early summer, nestled in the large,
bright green foliage. The lovely shade
of bright pink displayed in its flowers
is unequalled in the spring flowering
plants, and the dense, large, bright
green foliage is as handsome as any
in the garden. We highly recommend
it. 5-gal. containers, 3-4 ft., $1.25; bare
root, 2-0) ft, (60c:

Delphiniums
There are few more satisfactory perennials
than the Delphiniums or Perennial Larkspurs,
for they bear their tall spikes of blue flowers
for eight months in the year and are glorious

in the garden or as cut flowers. We call par-
ticular attention to the wonderful strain
“Dreams of Beauty.”’

Delphinium Belladonna. Clear turquoise

lue.

Delphinium bellamosum. Identical with the
belladonna but with intensely rich, deep blue
flowers.

is nothing much easier to grow. We have a
dozen splendid kinds in colors ranging from
salmon-pink through rose-pink, orange-scarlet,

Two Shade Loving Flowers

Heuchera sanguinea. ‘Coral Bells.’” From
a compact low tuft of geranium-like leaves
rise, during ihe summer, graceful spikes of
18 inches high, the indi-
vidual blooms like the bells of Lily of the
Valley but bright coral-crimson in color. Best
in a cool shady location.

Potentilla “‘Miss Wilmott.’” Grows quickly
to 18 inches or 2 feet and produces a big
mass of strawberry-like foliage and great
clusters of delicately colored rosy-red flowers.

Heliotrope

Heliotrope. One of the finest perennials for
a shady location is the Fragrant Heliotrope
which blooms all through the growing season.
Prefer some shade. We have centefleur, a
very deep blue with big flower heads, and
Queen Margaret, lighter in color but more
fragrant.

Hemerocallis flava. “Lemon Day Lily.”’ An
almost everblooming tuberous rooted plant,
making a thick clump of ribbon-like leaves,
which send up 3 ft. stalks, bearing many
trumpet-shaped flowers of lemon-yellow. We

containers, 35c.

Transvaal Daisies

Gerbera. “Transvaal Daisy.”’ These mag-
nificent South African flowers are exceedingly
popular, the graceful shape and delicate hues
of the beautiful blooms placing them among
the best of the low bedding plants and mak-
ing them invaluable for cut flowers. When
planting, be sure not to cover the crown with
earth. We offer an improved large-flowered,
long-stemmed strain in colors ranging from
straw all through various shades of pink,
yellow, and orange to brilliant scarlet and
crimson. Gal. containers, 35c each, $3.50 per
dozen; 21/4-inch pots, $1.50 per dozen.

and one that will give much pleasure in
any garden.

Four Unusual Perennials

Phlox arendsi Louise. For a warm sunny
climate, we know of nothing finer for a
low border, for it does not mind the heat
and blooms almost eight months of the
year, producing great heads of dainty
light lavender-blue flowers. The other
Phlox do not approach it in everblooming
quality.

Trachelium caeruleum. We grew this
plant last year for the first time and many
of our friends tell us that they enjoyed it
more than any other plant in their garden.
Grows to 2 feet, with handsome dark green
foliage, and in late summer produces great
spreading panicles of bright blue flowers
which keep for days in the house after
cutting.

April to June.

A native California blue-flowered Pen-
stemon, growing to 18 inches or 2 feet and blooming for many weeks

ORNAMENTAL
VINES AND TRAILERS

Nothing provides a home-like and restful appearance more quickly
than a covering of green vines for blank walls, bare fences and arbors.
We are particularly fortunate in California in being able to grow not
only the hardy vines of the colder climates but many of the brilliant

tions, grows very rapidly to 20 or 30
feet and from early spring to late
autumn is a mass of bright rose-pink
heart-shaped flowers. Even in colder

Hardenbergia comptoniana. Among all blue flower-
ing vines this is our favorite. It sends its dainty,
twining, slender leaflets over and around any kind

overhanging shrubs or trees, and then in late winter
is a marvelously beautiful sight when covered with
its myriad 6-inch racemes of lovely violet-blue, pea-

not rampant, with big, leathery, glossy leaves which make a dense mass, and it
thrives equally well in full sun, shade or semi-shade. Hardy almost anywhere
in California. May be also grown as a large shrub if pruned. S-gal. containers,

Three Unusual
Flowering Vines

Distictis cinerea. We could use a half
a page to describe the beauty of this

the seacoast region, with its quantities of
big lavender and purple flowers in spring
and summer. Gal. containers, $1.00.

Hoya carnosa. ‘Wax Plant.’” Slow
growing vine for the shade, with thick

Algerian Ivy.’’ Beautiful big leaves hand-
somely blotched with light green, dark
green, and creamy yellow. For shade

tainers, 50c.

the Wisterias is this variety, which is literally covered with its giant blue flower
clusters before the leaves appear in the spring. Never fails to bloom.

W. chinensis alba. ‘’“‘White Chinese Wisteria.’” Same as above but with white
flowers and a honey-sweet fragrance. The illustration above shows a White
Wisteria which has been kept pruned back as a shrub. A magnificent display of
bloom can be had in this way in a comparatively small space.

W. Multijuga. “Japanese Wisteria.” Probably the most beautiful of all Wis
terias, because of the extreme length of its lilac flower racemes, which some-
times measure over 2 feet. Blooms later than the Chinese but not so profusely.

light lavender-pink.

W. longissima. A remarkable variety of Wisteria Multijuga, with flower clus-

year. You do not need anything for it to climb over; just
let it ramble anywhere in the garden. If you have heavy
frosts, you will have to do without it. Sun. Gal. containers,
75c; 4-inch pots, 50c.

THE

CHOICE
OF THE WORLD

Armstrong Roses are blooming, thriving, and giving satis-
faction to their owners in all sections of the United States
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico. Unsolicited testimonials from every state
in the Union, and from Canada and Mexico as well, tell us
that our customers are more than pleased with the results
they get from our roses. We believe that this is largely due
to the fact that we are content to grow and send out only the
strongest, sturdiest, field grown rose bushes that it is possible
to produce. We like roses, and derive a great deal of pleas-
ure from growing them, and we send out to our customers

only bushes that will give them the same pleasure and satis-
faction.

Most Armstrong Roses are bud- all through the spring, summer

Five Excellent New

To the Rose enthusiast there are few thrills comparable with that
of observing glorious new Rose varieties unfold their first petals.
We guarantee that the following five new kinds will provide these
thrills, for during the year or two years in which we have observed
them they have never failed to draw our admiration. Of the new
Roses that are being put on the market for this season, we consider

the following to be the best:

Conqueror (Chaplin Bros., 1929).
We imported this Rose directly from
England several years ago, and al-
though unheralded by any publicity,
we have found it to be one of the
finest yellow Roses we have ever
seen. The large, beautifully shaped
buds are saffron-yellow suffused with
salmon, fading to paler yellow as
the flower ages. Everybody likes a
Rose that grows strong and vigor-
ously without any coddling, and
that’s a description that fits Con-
queror exactly. $1.00 each.

Helen Fox (Buatois, 1930). This
Rose won the famous French Baga-
telle Gold Medal several years ago
but has been slow in reaching this
country. It is probably here now to
stay. Beautifully formed, clear deep
yellow buds and flowers, unfading
in color, pleasantly fragrant. It will
greatly please all of those who like
a clear yellow Rose without any
other shading. $1.00 each.

Mrs. J. D. Eisele (Howard & Smith,
1933). We have seen some magnifi-
cent blooms which are truly amazing
in their beauty. The flowers are a
most luscious shade of cherry-rose,
overlaid with a scarlet glow, and
both the perfect bud and the full
camellia-like flower are extremely
large, often becoming five or six

inches across. Possesses a most per-
meating sweet fragrance like that of
the old Tea Roses which has almost
disappeared in modern kinds. U. S.
Plant Patent No. 67. $2.00 each.

Sister Therese (F. Gillot, 1931). A
Rose that we will all hear much more
about during the next few years, and
we have no hesitation in pronouncing
it one of the finest Roses not only for
1934 but for any year. The long-
pointed slender buds are a deep
glowing chrome-yellow, shaded car-
mine on the outside, the open flower
being rich daffodil-yellow, and it has
a spicy fragrance. A tall free-branch-
ing bush, producing many long-
stemmed blooms for cutting. $1.00
each.

Souvenir de Mme. C. Chambard
(C. Chambard, 1931). French rosar-
ians last year voted this ‘‘the most
beautiful Rose of France’’ at their
annual contest at Lyons, and there
will be many American rose lovers
who will vote it the most beautiful
Rose in their garden after they have
grown it for a season. The buds are
ideally shaped, long, slender, and
full, and the open flowers are just as
perfect. The color is a rich coral-
pink with a satiny sheen which
makes the flowers glow and sparkle

at all times. Most deliciously frag-
rant. $1.50 each.

ais

ties listed in this catalog belong
to this group unless some other
abbreviation follows the name.
These are the Everblooming Roses,
so called because they flower
continuously, or at brief intervals,

and as such may be shipped any-
where in the world safely and
cheaply. During the rest of the
year they are available as bloom-
ing plants in containers, which
are quite heavy to ship to distant
points.

Roses for 1934

Federico Cases (Pedro Dot, 1931). One of the newest
of the highly colored Spanish Roses with richly colored
buds of reddish-orange which open to semi-double flow-

ers of coppery-pink with an intensely yellow center.
Pleasantly fragrant and somewhat like Talisman but a
much taller and stronger grower, producing many more
flowers. $1.00 each.

Eight Fine New Roses

In addition to the new Roses for 1934 listed on the preceding
page, we are offering for this season the following splendid new
kinds, all of which have new and novel colors and character-
istics, quite different from anything found in the Rose world
heretofore. We highly recommend these varieties to those Rose
lovers who wish to enjoy the great pleasure derived from observ-

ing the very newest in Roses.

Charles H. Rigg (Chaplin Bros.,
1931). Something more than ‘just
another pink Rose’’. In the first
place, the bush is large and vigor-
ous, covered with dark green foli-
age, while the long-stemmed, nicely
shaped buds and flowers are a
glowing bright pink, with plenty of
petals and with a delightful frag-
trance that will put ‘‘nosarians”’ into
Seventh Heaven. A variety that
produces foliage, flowers, and frag-
rance as though it were enjoying
life immensely. $1.00 each.

Duchess de Penaranda (Pedro
Dot, 1931). One of the latest mem-
bers of the Spanish Rose nobility,
with a most intriguing color of
orange-apricot with deeper coppery
tones, the huge pointed buds being
quite double, sweetly perfumed,
and long lasting. $1.00 each.

Lilian (B. R. Cant, 1931). An un-
usual new English Rose with su-
perb great cupped flowers of
creamy primrose-yellow, intensely
fragrant. The bush is large and
vigorous but is spreading rather
than upright and is always in
bloom. We like it. $1.00 each.

Louise Krause (Krause, 1930).
Great robust buds which vary in
color with the weather, but we
have found them to be predomi-
nantly salmon-pink with rich shad-
ings of yellow and orange. Plants,
large foliaged, upright, bushy, and
continuously in bloom. $1.00 each.

Patsy (Hugh Dickson, 1931).
Great long, slender, tightly rolled
buds of snowy white, opening to
full ivory white flowers. The bush
is tall, vigorous and willowy, with
dark green leathery foliage. $1.00
each.

President Plumcocq (Gaujard,
1931). A soft toned French Rose
with long buds of coppery buff, the
open flowers showing shadings of
yellow and salmon. A tall, strong
growing, healthy bush. $1.00 each.

Souvenir de Jean Soupert (Sou-
pert & Notting, 1930). From the lit-
tle principality of Luxembourg
comes this lovely Rose, with its im-
mense, long, full buds and great,
cupped, intensely fragrant flowers.
The color is a magnificent coral-
apricot, more intense on the inside
of the petals than on the outside.
Beautiful foliage, strong growth.
We know it will be liked. $1.00 each.

Trigo (A. Dickson, 1931). A va-
riety that has won all kinds of
medals and awards abroad but is
just now being introduced into this
country. Has all the good charac-
teristics of a popular Rose, with
long-pointed buds, large double
flowers, and intense fragrance, the
color being fawn-yellow on the in-
side of the petals and apricot-pink
on the reverse, the ensemble color-
ing being lovely indeed. Vigorous;
upright. $1.00 each.

Ri OS aes

A Glorious Red and an Exquisite White

Billy Boiler. We are indebted to Australia for this magnificent
red Rose which is quite different from the usual run of Hybrid Teas.
It sends up many long willowy stems from the base of the plant
to a height of four or five feet, and at the tip of each branch on
great long stems for cutting are immense flowers of a most intense
shade of rich scarlet, with maroon shadings. Flowers quite double,
beautifully shaped,.and deliciously fragrant, while the color does
not fade in the hottest sun. Just as unusual as its name. 75c each,

Caledonia. We consider this to be probably the finest white
rose grown. The beautifully shaped, long, snowy-white buds are
exquisite to behold, and the blossoms possess a delicious fragrance
—something that is not true of other white roses. With this rose in
your garden, you will find yourself cutting its lovely buds for the
table in preference to the highly colored varieties. 75c each.

Angele Pernet. New varieties come and go
but there has been nothing yet produced to
equal the rich brownish orange color of this
lovely rose. The flowers are beautifully formed,
semi-double, hold their color well, and pos-
sess a delightful fruity fragrance. Of mod-
erate growth, with stift unbending stems and
clean, shiny, glistening foliage. Its marvelous
color alone makes it an outstanding rose.
50c each.

Betty Uprichard. A most charming semi-
double rose with copper-red buds, opening to
lovely bi-colored flowers, soft salmon pink on
the inner surface of the petals and glowing
orange-carmine outside. The plant is tall and
erect, and the stems are long. The blooms

Daily Mail Scented Rose. This
exceedingly fragrant rose is in-
tense velvety crimson shaded
with maroon and vermilion. The
long, tightly rolled buds are ex-
quisitely formed, although they
open rather quickly to an open
flower of few petals, which
keeps a long time when cut. A
tall, vigorous grower, and the
richly scented flowers are pro-
fusely produced. 75c extch.

Doris Trayler. One great long

Two Richly Colored Beauties

Autumn. For intense richness of color, this rose
outdoes any other variety now in cultivation. The
full handsome buds are a superb shade of burnt-
orange, and the opening flowers are heavily suf-
fused with russet-brown and bronzy red all over-
laid on a background of rich yellow in a color
combination reminiscent of the most glorious aut-
umnal foliage. It would be difficult to give a de-

scription of the colors in this rose which would
exaggerate. 75c each.

Duchess of Athol. For novelty and intensity of
coloring, this rose is outstanding. The full, double
flowers on their heavy stems possess an ex-
tremely rich shade of copper-bronze flushed with
orange and old rose. The color is similar to that
of Angele Pernet, but greatly intensified: Exceed-
ingly vigorous with bronzy-green foliage, and

you will find it one of the finest roses of its color that you
have ever grown, with long, splendidly shaped buds of
rich deep pink, and with crisp heavy petals which do not
flop regardless of weather conditions. Long stiff stems for

Dame Edith Helen. Though there are many
fine pink roses, this one remains a leader. Big
full double flowers of glowing pink, freely

bush. Its immense size, fully double blooms
and delightful fragrance, combined with its
unusual lasting qualities when cut, make it a

A Charming Single Maid

Dainty Bess. Words fail us when we try to
put into words the delicate charm and elusive
loveliness of this dainty single rose, which is,
in our opinion, the finest single rose grown.
The five-petalled flowers are borne in clusters
of three or more, each flower three inches
across,, delicate pink in color, with a brown-
ish-red overcast and contrasting center of
wine-red stamens. The flowers are very last-
ing when cut, and the bush is strong and
tall, blooming continuously. 75c each.

toned; buff colored inside the petals and a
rich salmon or coppery pink outside. The long
buds are splendidly shaped, have excellent
stiff stems for cutting, and are produced in
great quantities on the strong vigorous bush.
The only thing it lacks is fragrance and we
can forgive that for its other fine qualities.
75c each.

Etoile de Feu. Translated into English, the

name is “Star of Fire’’ whic escribes it
exactly, for its big, wide-spreading flower is
crowded with stitl petals to the very center,
radiating out to make a great star-like flower
of flaming pinkish-orange. Dwarf and bushy,
with glistening healthy foliage. 50c each.

Etoile de France. A sparkling red rose
which has long been a favorite in its color
because of its continued bloom, beautiful color
and rich fragrance. It is particularly good in
hot dry weather, and we recommend it for
the interior sections. 50c each.

Etoile de Hollande. This magnificent red
rose is ranked among the first three of its
color by everyone who knows roses, and
many will place it first. The perfect buds are
of medium size, opening beautifully and
cleanly into glorious great flowers with incom-
parable fragrance, holding its brilliant color to
the end. The bush is strong, free branching,
and healthy. A rose that actually has no
serious fault. 50c each.

Florence Pemberton. For cut flowers this is
most satisfactory because of the extremely
strong growing bush and long, upright flower
stems. The color is creamy white suffused
with pink, and the bud is perfect in form,
with a high-pointed center. Par-
ticularly good for Arizona and in-
terior vdlleys. 50c each.

Feu Joseph Looymans. This
wonderful Dutch Rose has always
been a favorite of ours, as it is
of everyone who knows it. Pro-
duces quantities of great long
slender buds of buff-yellow, shad-
ed vivid apricot in the center,
opening to large, fairly full flow-
ers, and the bushes are seldom
without blooms during the grow-
ing season. Growth tall and up-
right. There is probably no finer
rose of its color. See illustration
in color at left. 50c each.

Fontanelle. Has the largest
buds and flowers of any yellow
variety that we grow, beautifully
shaped and full. The color is

in the center; moderately fragrant
flowers. The buds astonish with
their gigantic size. 75c each.

the original old Tea scent. 75c each.

Gruss an Coburg. An interesting flower
with deep reddish salmon buds of good shape,
opening to a medium-sized bloom of rich apri-
cot, with crisp, beautifully veined little petals,
the flower keeping for a long time without
showing its center. One of the sweetest per-
fumes in roses. The free-branching bush is
extremely vigorous, growing rapidly to a great
bush five feet high. 75c each.

Gruss an Teplitz. An old favorite red rose,
always covered with its bright cherry crimson
flowers, which often cover the plant, and are
intensely fragrant with the rich perfume that
so many new roses lack. A large bush, very
hardy. 50c each.

Hortulanus Budde. The semi-double, frag-
tant flowers are the same brilliant red as
Paul's Scarlet, and the low, compact bush
makes a continuous display of bright color.
SOc each.

Two Favorite Reds

Hoosier Beauty. An intense rich daz-
zling scarlet with darker shadings, and
acknowledged to be one of the best
and most highly colored red roses. The
beautifully formed flowers have a tex-
ture like velvet and possess a delicious
fragrance. The plants are never with-
out flowers in the blooming season and
the blooms never fade or turn blue.
50c each.

Hadley.

Everybody knows this old
favorite, which, with its brilliant rich
crimson color, vigorous growth, long
stems, mildew-proof foliage, full blooms
and rich fragrance, is close to the top

in red roses. 50c each.

Imperial Potentate. Dark shining rose-pink
in color, very double, with firm heavy petals.
Not only is it one of the finest pink roses in
color, form and texture, but it possesses a
most delicious fragrance which we believe is
unexcelled among pink roses—or any other
color for that matter. 50c each.

Irish Charm. A gem of exquisite form in the
bud and open flower, deep blush pink, with
a deeper apricot tint in the unopened bud. It
undoubtedly produces more perfect buds for
cutting than any other rose in our fields. 75c

BUSH ROSES

Joanna from Indiana

Joanna Hill. A slender, daintily colored,
orange-yellow rose which came from Indiana
a few years ago and has not been as much
appreciated as it should be. The flowers are
extremely fragrant, and there is no finer rose
of its color for cutting, because the buds keep
a long time and are borne on long, upright
stems. 50c each.
oe
Great stiff-petalled flowers four
to six inches across. This is the one single
white rose worth growing. It has a lovely
long slender ivory bud, and the blossom pos-
sesses a spicy fragrance which is not found
in any other rose. The amber stamens are
very beautiful against the creamy white back-
ground of the open flowers. 75c each.

Innocence.

Irish Fire Flame. A beautiful single-flower-
ing variety. The buds are wonderfully rich in
coloring; a rich deep orange, splashed with
crimson, opening to a large single flower of
satiny old gold. 50c each.

Impress. The full blown blooms have the
shape and appearance of a lovely large
Camellia. The color is a rich salmon with a
golden sheen, and we consider it possibly the
finest of the salmon-pink roses. 75c each.

Lady Florence Stronge. We have not grown
this rose for several years, but we found our-
selves wandering over to the bushes so often
to cut their profusion of buds that we have
decided to grow it again. Buds beautifully
shaped, full, reddish-pink, with shadings of
old rose and yellow; abundant glossy foliage.
$0c each.

iad na a

LADY MARGARET STEWART

I. Zingari. Vivid orange-scarlet buds, open-
ing to almost single, vivid orange-yellow
flowers. The strong bushy plant is always
covered with the flowers and looks like it was
covered with bursts of flame. Very decorative
when cut. 75c each.

J. Otto Thilow. The buds of this variety
have just about the most perfect form of any
rose grown and they open out into a full last-
ing flower which keeps well. Color is rose-
pink, similar to Rose Marie, but the flowers
Beech larger and are on stiffer stems. 75c
each.

Jonkheer J. L. Mock. The flowers produced
with great freedom on long stiff stems; of
large size and perfect form; a deep imperial
pink in color, the outside of the petals being
silvery rose. 50c each.

Isobel. The largest of all the single roses.
The long bud is arange-carmine and in dull
weather the open flower is the same rich
shade, fading to a clear coral-pink in the sun.
Bush grows tall and willowy and flowers have
long stems. 50c each.

Julien Potin. It has the same brilliant, clear
yellow color of the Claudius Pernet rose, but
the buds and flowers are larger and always

open out into perfectly formed blooms. Pos-
sesses a delightfully sweet perfume and
glossy, bronze-green foliage. 50c each.

K. A. Victoria. Pure ivory white; producing
quantities of beautiful buds and full flowers.
Long considered the best white rose for Calli-
fornia because it blooms so freely and con-
tinuously. 50c each.

K. of K. An intensely brilliant scarlet rose
with a velvety sheen. The flowers are semi-
double intensely fragrant and are wonderful
for cut flowers, the dazzling color being inten-
sified under artificial light. 50c each.

Lady Ashtown. Moderately large flowers of
brilliant shining pink, with a high-pointed cen-
ter, very full, borne on long stems. A sturdy,
upright, easily grown bush. 50c each.

Lady Barnby. One of the finest clear pink
roses for cutting. The large, broad petalled
buds and flowers keep well, and the lovely
clear rose-pink color and sweet scent are not
surpassed in any other pink rose. Strong,
vigorous and free blooming. 75c each.

Lady Forteviot. A rose which is related to
that favorite variety, Angele Pernet, and has
the same healthy, glossy foliage and the same
shaped buds and flowers. owever, it is a
stronger grower, and the color is soft apricot-
yellow, the flowers possessing a rich fruity
fragrance combining the aromas of quince,
apple, and pineapple. 75c each.

Lady Hillingdon. T. Beautiful long buds
opening into cup-shaped flowers of golden
yellow with no other shades. One of the best,
most dependable yellows. 50c each.

Los Angeles. This is the ideal American
yarden rose, one of the finest varieties ever
introduced. A California product, and in color
emblematical of the Golden West, it has
gained international recognition as the peak
of excellence in the rose. The color is a
glorious rich flame-pink, shaded golden yel-
low. 50c each.

Louise Catherine Breslau. Buds coral red,
opening to cup-shaped flowers of salmon-
orange, shading to various degrees of pink,
orange, and copper. Bush low, compact and
many branched. 50c each.

Ladylove. Beautifully formed buds of am-
ber, apricot and soft pink. A wonderful rose
for cutting because of the lovely form, keeping
qualities and stiff stems. Bush of medium
height. 75c¢ each.

Lady Mary Elizabeth. We have been ad-
mirers of this rose since we first glimpsed its
brilliant cerise-pink blooms. The buds are
large and long-pointed, while the flowers are
very double and high-centered and extremely
fragrant. Plants are tall and upright. The
long stems make it a beautiful rose for cut-
ting. 50c each.

Lord Charlemont. Very large, beautifully
formed, high-centered crimson flowers on stout
rigid stems. The flower is so magnificent and
the color so superb that we consider it to be
one of the best four red roses, but it is more
pulled to the interior than to the coast. 50c
each.

A Spanish Chameleon

Li Bures. A lovely and unusual rose
from Spain, remarkable for its continu-
ally changing kaleidoscopic colorings.
The bud is maroon-red, and as the
flower opens, bright shades of pink,
orange and yellow become visible, and
when fully open, the outer petals are
usually bright pink and the center sal-
mon-orange. However, you will find Li
Bures with a different color scheme al-
most every morning in the year. Looks
something like a President Hoover that
has put on everything in the make-up
box. 75c each.

GOLDEN EMBLEM
The Favorite Yellow Rose of the Pacific Coast.

Lady Margaret Stewart. Buds of deep sun-
flower yellow, heavily veined and splashed
with orange-scarlet, sometimes entirely of the
latter color, and opening to a firm full flower,
the general color effect of which is cadmium
orange. The flowers are quite fragrant and
the leathery sage green foliage which covers
the long rigid stems seems to be entirely
disease-proof. See colored illustration at left.
50c each.

Lucie Marie. The buds are of deep coppery
yellow, lightly splashed with red, with a
slight pleasant fragrance. Here is a rose that
does not have to be nursed along because it
grows very vigorously up to four feet and
produces its lovely flowers continuously on
long stems throughout the season. It is a
pleasure to recommend a healthy, husky rose
bush like this, that usually grows twice as
big as you expect it to, and which will fur-
nish a whole bouquet of flowers on one bush
once every week during the growing season.
75c each.

Lulu. We have always pushed this fine little
rose because of the great quantities of dainty,
extremely long and slender buds of coral-apri-
cot, with which the bush is covered at all
times. There is not a rose more exquisitely
formed in the bud stage than Lulu. An aston-
ishingly large percentage of rose lovers will
put Lulu at the very top of their list of
roses. S0c.

in bud or flower. Of low, spreading, bushy

Mari Dot. The large artistically shaped bud

open slowly, are beautiful at all times and
possess a delightful fruity perfume. The bush
is vigorous but low and wide spreading. The
combination of color, keeping qualities, and
fragrance is hard to beat. 75c each.

Miss Rowena Thom. A cross between those
two popular roses, Radiance and Los Angeles,
with enormous, very double flowers of rose-
pink. While the color and shape are not out
of the ordinary, it is a good garden rose be-
cause of its very vigorous habit of growth, the
great quantities of flowers that it bears, and
the size of the blooms. 50c each.

Mme. Caroline Testout. Color clear bright
satiny pink; very fragrant; flowers large and
showy. 50c each.

Mme. Edouard Herriott. The red hot copper
shade of the bud and softer coral tint of the
open flower are probably the most sensational
coloring produced in any rose. Won a $5,000
prize offered by the ‘‘Daily Mail’’ of London,
and has been famous ever since. The stems
are sometimes weak and the bush is thorny,
Pub is indispensable in every garden. 50c
each.

Mrs. Henry Bowles. A very large, firm
ovoid bud of warm glowing pink, opening to
big full flowers. Because of its good clear
color, good substance and freedom of bloom,
we place it among the best pink roses. It
opens slowly and there is nothing fleeting
about it. 50c each.

Mrs. Beatty. The soft even shade of creamy
yellow is very pleasing, and the buds are
always well shaped, the bush seldom being
without blooms. The bush is low, but spread-
ing and vigorous. The foliage is mildew-
proof. Not the least of its valuable character-
istics is the delightful fragrance. S0c each.

Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. Lovers of good
roses will have to make a place for this one.
Large conical buds and enormous pure pink
flowers shading to yellow at the base of the
petals. There are only two or three pink
roses which can even approach it for delight-
ful fragrance. 50c each.

MRS. SAM McGREDY

Always in Style

Mme. Butterfly. Year after year this fine
rose remains a much loved favorite in the
garden with its deep shadings of apricot and
gold on a background of brilliant pink. The
delicately modelled flowers are exquisite in
both color and form, and since it also pos-
sesses a delightful fragrance and lovely fol-
lage, it cannot be displaced by any of the
newer roses. 50c each.

Mrs. Chas. Bell. Of the same type as Ra-
diance, but the flowers are a soft shade of
shell pink with salmon background. A con-
stant bloomer unaffected by the weather. 50c
each.

Mrs. Aaron Ward. There is no more ex-
quisite coloring and shape in roses than in
the soft tawny golden yellow buds of this old
favorite variety. The flower is small but per-
fectly formed, with frilled petals. Plant low
and bushy. 50c each.

Mrs. Lovell Swisher. Its long, exquisitely
formed buds, very double, are deep coppery-
salmon, passing to delicate salmon and flesh
at the edges. A rampant, tall grower, bearing
an endless succession of perfect flowers. 50c
each.

Modesty. This rose should be much more
widely planted. It has the longest, largest
and most perfectly formed buds of any rose
we grow, the color being pearly cream,
flushed rose. The plant is of medium size. 75c.

Our Nomination for the
Best Yellow

Mrs. Erskine P. Thom. We have just about
concluded that this is the most valuable yel-
low rose for the garden, and many of our rose
friends will agree with us. The nicely shaped
buds and well shaped open flowers are bright
canary-yellow without other shadings, and the
strong growing, vigorous bush is lavish with
the blooms. Taking color, form of flower,

blooming habit, and growth into considera-

tion, we know of no other yellow rose that
we would prefer to recommend ahead of it.
50c each.

Two Lovely Irish Beauties

McGredys, the famous rose hybridizers of
Ireland, have produced many wonderful roses,
but these two we consider to be their master-
pieces so far, and in lending their own name
to these two kinds they seem to think so too.
They are certainly two of the most outstand-
ing new roses during the past few years.

McGredy’s Scarlet. The Irish originator made
but one error in producing this rose and that
is in calling it scarlet, for it might be scarlet
in the Irish mist, but it’s a lovely rosy red
here in California, lightening to a deep rose
as the flower ages. And what a grower it
has turned out to be, with great strong four
to five foot bushes, loaded throughout the
summer with long-stemmed buds, every one
long, slender, and beautifully shaped. See
illustration next page. 75c each.

Mrs. Sam McGredy. The more we see of
this Irish lady with the wonderful complexion
the more enthusiastic we become. And we
have yet failed to find anyone who did not
greatly admire the flowers, which are of a
beautiful copper-orange color, heavily flushed
with Lincoln-red on the otitSide of the petals.
There is no other color in roses like it. The
buds are long-pointed, high-centered, and
double, with a moderate fragrance. Growth
low and spreading. $1.00 each.

A Sun-Tan Complexion

Mrs. G. A. Van Rossem. There is no more
brilliant and out-of-the-ordinary color in roses
than is found in this variety. The general
color effect is intense orange overlaid on a
dark golden yellow ground, the brilliant col-
oring being intensified by the rich bronze
veins which stand out over the petals and
look as though they had been pencilled on.
The bush is of medium growth; the stems stiff,
heavy and upright. A spectacular rose. 75c.

Olympiad. At its best, which is during the
fall months, Olympiad is a magnificent rose,
of lustrous oriental scarlet, bright golden
yellow at the base. The bud is full and ex-
quisitely shaped. However, we and many
others have been disappointed because the
color is not always true. In spite of this,
many rose fans will wish to plant it for the
magnificent blooms that do appear during the
season. 75c each.

Ophelia. In cool weather this rose which
has long been considered to have the ideally
formed rose bud, is salmon flesh with tints of
darker pink and gold. In hot weather it is
creamy-white. Not a free bloomer, but ex-
quisite when the blooms do come and worth
growing for its delicious fragrance. 50c each.

Padre. An extremely effective rose of rich
copper-scarlet. The flowers are semi-double,
borne on long straight stems on a very tall
bush. While tending to hang its head when
cut, the remarkable color and freedom of
bloom make Padre a fine rose. 5S0c each.

Patience. The color is difficult to describe
but in general, is scarlet-carmine, varying at
times to orange-scarlet and carmine. Long
slender buds of which the bush is full at all
times, expand into a splendidly formed flower
which holds its color well. Provides an amaz-
ing quantity of wonderful buds for cutting.
See illustration top of this page. 50c each.

Portadown Ivory. This variety is creamy
ivory white, remarkably lovely and delicate in
texture, which turns to a very clear white as
it opens. The buds are just about as perfect
as roses can be and the flowers possess a
light damask perfume. Its purity, grace, and
beauty almost take your breath away, and
those who say they want no white roses,
change their minds rapidly when they see
this rose. 75c each.

MRS. G-. A. VAN ROSSEM
Brilliant Orange Bronze.

President Hoover. See description and illus-

tration next page.

Radiance. This rose will probably produce
more first-class blooms to the plant than any
other variety, and is exceedingly vigorous,
hardy, and disease resistant. A lovely light
silvery pink, suffused deeper pink, and carry-
ing the most penetrating and delicious damask
perfume possessed by any rose. 50c each.

Red Radiance. Similar in growth to Pink
Radiance, but has big, bold, cerise-red flow-
ers which are borne on long heavy stems.
Most sweetly damask scented. 50c each.

Ragged Robin (Gloire des Rosomanes). A
very free blooming rose with semi-double rosy
crimson flowers. Of no value except for
hedges, where it makes a showy row of color
during most of the year. Large two year
plants, $2.50 per 10; $20.00 per 100.

Rev. F. Page Roberts. The inner face of the
petals is a soft buff yellow, and the reverse
a rich salmon, while the buds are often
stained with copper red. The flowers are

large, very double, with a delicious fruity
fragrance. Plant is low and spreading. 50c
Sally Tite. A fine new rose of an entirely

new shade in roses, brilliant crimson-cerise, a
color which does not fade. The flowers are
many-petaled and high-centered, and because
of its remarkable color we can highly recom-
mend it. Probably best near the coast. 50 ea.

Souv. de Claudius Pernet. Since its intro-
duction from Europe, this has become pos-
sibly the most famous of yellow roses and its
popularity has not dimmed. A vigorous, erect
grower with extremely beautiful bright green
foliage and few thorns, producing many ex-
quisite buds on long stiff stems. The flowers
are large and full, of a clear sunflower yel-
low. SOc each.

Souvenir de Georges Pernet. The large
globular buds open to enormous flowers of a
glorious deep orange-pink, quite fragrant and
lasting. Low, heavy-stemmed, spreading grow-
er, resistant to mildew, with flowers in great
abundance. A rose that does better when left
unpruned, so go easy on the pruning shears.
SOc each.

A Leader
for Fifteen Years

Rose Marie. No rose garden is complete
without this variety, which comes close to
being the ideal pink garden rose and is un-
disputably one of the finest roses of any color
for bedding and cutting. A perfectly formed
flower, full and long-lasting, dark rose-pink
in color, with beautifully veined petals and a
rich sweet perfume. It is an exceedingly free
bloomer, with long stems, and with foliage
which does not mildew. For fifteen years it
has stood at the top of the list as a popular
pink rose, and we doubt if there is any other
which can challenge its superiority today.

PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER

Every Rose Garden Must
Have President Hoover

President Herbert Hoover. The fame of this
wonderful multi-colored rose has swept the
country and certainly no rose planting would
be complete without it. It combines many
shades of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet, and yel-
low, the long buds being beautifully formed,
opening slowly and possessing a most de-
licious fragrance. One of its finest character-
istics is the magnificent growth of the bush,
four feet in one season being only quite ordi-
nary growth for this variety, and it is not a
question of how long you wish the stems to
be but how long you wish to cut them.
Every rose collection should be started off
with President Hoover. 75c each.

Senorita D’Alvarez. Those rose fans who
like single roses, and there are more of them
each year, will enjoy this new rose which
flaunts its gay petals of coppery-pink in wild
abandon. The flowers have a brilliant yellow
center, with amber stamens, and are freely
produced. The Senorita makes a lovely com-
panion for those other two beautiful single
roses, Isobel and Dainty Bess. 75c each.

Sunburst. A favorite yellow rose for many
years and still hard to beat, its name typify-
ing its glorious coloring. The buds are large
and well formed, produced on long stems,
with an intense shade of golden orange light-
ening to yellow. 50c each.

MRS. DUDLEY FULTON—An Unusual Rose
A Splendid Evergreen Flowering Shrub.

Armstrong Roses

Sunkist--The Golden Rose

Sunkist—The long, beautifully shaped buds
and full, open flowers have a predominating
color of glorious deep orange-yellow with
varying tints of copper, buff, and bronzy pink.
These rich sunshiny tints naturally led to the
name Sunkist, which is used by permission of
the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The
plants are tall and vigorous, with stiff straight
stems and large handsome foliage which com-
pletely covers the branches. The flowers are
sweetly fragrant and keep in splendid condi-

tion for three or four days after cutting, this ’

long-keeping quality making this lovely rose
a very desirable one for cut flowers. Cut in
the bud form, the flowers will open slowly
for several days and show glorious new tints
each day. 75c each.

Talisman. A vividly colored rose which has
more than justified all of the fine things that
have been said about it, and as a cut flower
it is probably better known than any other
rose grown. The brilliant coloring is a mix-
ture of orange-scarlet and golden yellow in
irregular proportions, but always pleasing.
Very double, exquisitely shaped, borne on
long stems, and exceedingly sweet scented.
When you have once seen, and inhaled the
delicious perfume of a perfect Talisman bud,
you cannot rest until you have one in your
garden, and then you will want more plants
so that you can pick a large bouquet. 50c.

Vesuvius. The best dark colored single rose.
Bright scarlet crimson with a golden center.
Sweetly fragrant, and the flowers last for
several days when cut. A tall free-blooming
bush. 75c¢ each.

Ville de Paris. A clear sunflower yellow
rose which does not fade even in the hottest
sun. The plant is a vigorous erect grower
with handsome glossy reddish green foliage;
disease proof and almost thornless. 50c each.

York and Lancaster. The origin of this
ancient rose is unknown, but it was first de-
scribed in 1551. It is a variety of the ancient
Damask Rose brought from Palestine by the
Crusaders. Some petals are entirely white,
some are entirely red, and sometimes they
are half red and half white. It was named in
comimemoration of the Wars of the Roses be-
tween the Houses of York and Lancaster.
78c each.

Old Fashioned Moss Roses

Crested Moss. This old Moss Rose has a
crown of lacy moss upon the stems and sep-
als. The flowers are sweetly fragrant, very
double, pale rose-pink in color, and the bush
is very large and vigorous, thriving any-
where, but should be left unpruned for best
results. Looks best in back of other roses or
shrubbery. 75c each.

White Maman Cochet T. White, flushed with
pink on the outer petals. Very large, full and
fragrant. 50c each.

Mrs. Dudley Fulton—
A Most Unusual Rose

(Patent applied for)

Mrs. Dudley Fulton. This is classed
as a Polyantha rose, but it is like no
other Polyantha that was ever pro-
duced. In fact, it is in a class by itself,
and we consider it one of the finest
and most valuable rose novelties ever
put on the market. It was originated
by the late George C. Thomas of Bev-
erly Hills and was introduced exclu-
sively by us in 1933. The bush is cov-
ered at almost all times during the
spring, summer, and fall with good
sized, single, silvery white flowers

which do not discolor, always drop-
ping their petals cleanly before they
fade, and they make the plant look
like a small snowstorm. But one of the
most remarkable things about this rose

is the splendid evergreen foliage,
which is always glossy as if varnished,
and in California at least, the foliage
is just as attractive in the middle of
winter as in the summer, which is
something that cannot be said of any
other rose. For this reason, we rec-
ommend it for planting in among other
evergreen shrubs, for it will prove just
as attractive as any flowering ever-
green shrub that can be used. See il-
lustration below. Grows to 3 feet. $1.00
each.

The Fragrant Hybrid Perpetuals

This class of roses is very hardy with tall, vigorous bushes and large clean foliage. The
blooms are larger, fuller and sweeter than any other roses. As a rule they bloom only in the
spring, but during this season of the year they offer a greater show than any other class and
the bushes are covered with the giant, fragrant flowers.

The Hybrid Perpetuals should be planted in the background of the rose bed, and their

double blooms will show up over the heads of other roses.

Their surpassing fragrance is a

valuable characteristic, although the best known variety of the group, the wonderful Frau

Karl Druschki, has none.

Most of these varieties do particularly well in Arizona and Imperial Valley, coming into

bloom during the winter there.

class. 50c each.

General Jacqueminot. A favorite old scarlet-crimson rose, deeply fragrant,
whose lovely color and sweet scent has been loved for years. 50c each.

Mme. Albert Barbier. The only yellow Hybrid Perpetual. Truly remarkable
for its color and everblooming qualities, for it produces a profusion of blooms
all through the growing season. Golden-salmon in color, with shading of
flesh-pink and nankeen-yellow. The bush is not large, but the stems are
very heavy. 75c each.

Mrs. John Laing. Large, clear pink, cupped shaped blooms, exceedingly
fragrant, blooming profusely in the spring, occasionally in the summer, with
a fair display in autumn. One of the best H. T.’s. 50c each.

Paul Neyron. The largest rose in cultivation; a handsome upright grower, |}

producing immense flowers at the end of every long stiff stem; color, a deep
rose-pink. Great size and sweet fragrance are its strong points. S0c each.

The Best Baby Roses

(Polyanthas)

These are called ‘‘Baby Roses’’ because of the small size of their individual blooms. The
plants are usually low and bushy, with the flowers borne in great clusters, but some varieties,
like Else and Kirsten Poulsen and Salmon Spray grow tall with the flowers individually pro-
duced. Polyanthas are truly everblooming, producing flowers almost the entire year in Cali-

fornia.

Most of them make beautiful hedges, and some kinds, such as Mrs. Dudley Fulton

(see opposite page), are extremely effective planted with other evergreen shrubs.

Baby Doll (Tip Top). Some years ago this
beautiful little rose was quite popular, and
we believe that such charming shape and
color deserve recognition, so have grown it
again. The perfect little, beautifully shaped
buds are buff-yellow and white, tipped and
edged with Tyrian rose. It blooms continu-
ously. 15 inches.

Cecile Brunner. The miniature flowers of
this variety, rosy pink shaded with salmon,
usually borne in large open clusters, fill a
niche which no other rose can occupy. 4 feet.

scarlet color as the above but with single
flowers and a more dwarf bush. 15 inches.

TALISMAN
A Charming Symphony in Red and Gold.

Sunshine
The New Yellow Baby Rose

Here is something new and extremely
attractive in Baby Roses. This splendid
variety makes a compact little bush, 18
inches high, covered all through the
season with a profusion of perfect little
double flowers which are a deep apri-
cot-orange in the bud, lightening to
apricot-yellow in the open flower. There
is nothing else like it, and we highly
recommend it as something unusual in
this type of rose. See illustration be-
low. 75c each.

The Latest in Climbing Roses

The Favorites Are All Climbing Now

Three of the most popular and most colorful of all bush roses are
President Hoover, Talisman, and Mrs. E. P. Thom. Fortunately for
those who like their favorite roses to do more than just remain a
bush, all of these three splendid roses are now available as climb-
ers, and as is the case with most climbing sports, the flowers are
in each case even larger, brighter colored, and borne on longer
stems than on the bush varieties.

Climbing Mrs. Thom

Climbing Mrs. Erskine P. Thom. Few will dispute the claim of Mrs. E. P.
Thom to be one of the finest yellow roses, and many will place it first, so we
are fortunate in being able to present this fine rose in a tall vigorous climber,
which will enable you to multiply many times the number of flawless yellow
buds which can be produced on a bush. $1.00 each.

The Brilliant Hoover Climbs

Climbing President Herbert Hoover. The famous President Hoover, with its
multi-colored pink, red, yellow, and buff flowers, is vigorous enough as a
bush, but as a climber it grows all over the place, producing its beautiful
| flowers in great profusion. If you order late in the season, there will prob-
H ably be none left. $1.00 each.

Scorcher

Scorcher. From the land of the kangaroo and the emu comes
this brilliant new red climber to make a rich display of color
in our gardens. It is not a rampant climber, usually attaining
a height of 8 or 10 feet, but is quite free branching and very
profuse in bloom, not only in the spring but throughout the
growing season. Its glowing fiery vermillion-red flowers are
semi-double, and the color is vividly typified by its name.
$1.00 each.

SUNSHINE—The Unusual New Yellow Baby Rose.

And Talisman Too

Climbing Talisman. It is difficult to imagine anything more striking than a
fence or trellis covered with the lovely red and gold flowers of the much
admired Talisman, but here is the opportunity to secure such a plant. It will
Provide many wonderful bouquets. $1.00 each.

Armstrong Select]

Few plants will provide as much beauty and color as the Climbing Roses, and
every garden has a place for one or more. Many of the Climbing Roses that we
list are adapted only to the Pacific Coast and Southern States, but many are hardy
throughout the entire country. Those varieties with the HT after the name are
Climbing Hybrid Teas, and most of them require some protection in severe cli-
mates during the winter. They are most floriferous in the early spring but bloom
less profusely throughout the season. Those designated by the abbreviation HW
are Hybrid Wichurianas, which are quite hardy, thrive anywhere, and usually
bear most of their flowers in one great, magnificent burst in the spring, at which
time they are a gorgeous sight. Climbers which make a very vigorous and rapid
growth the first season after planting frequently do not bloom during the succeed-
ing spring, but this is merely because they have been growing so rapidly, and
they will bloom heavily every year thereafter.

Banksia Yellow. A rampant grower which
will spread all over the place, festooned heav-
ily in the springtime with a profusion of little
button-like yellow flowers. The stems are ab-
solutely thornless. 50c each.

The Gigantic
Belle of Portugal

Belle of Portugal. HG. This wonder-
ful rose has achieved enormous popu-
larity within the past few years in
California, and is proving to be just as
much of a sensation in the Southern
States, although comparatively un-
known there yet. There is no more
vigorous grower among roses than this
variety and 10 or 12 foot canes the first
season are to be expected, so give it
plenty of room. The amazingly beauti-
ful salmon-pink buds are also gigantic
in size, often 3 and 4 inches in length.
Do not expect it to bloom the first year

Banksia White. Exacily like the above but
the flowers are white. 50c each.

Black Boy. HT. A new climber from Aus-
tralia which is one of the finest red climbing
roses. The blooms are large, double, very
fragrant, deep velvety crimson, shaded black-
ish maroon and scarlet. A tall rampant climber
and the blooms are excellent for cutting, as
they are on long, stiff stems. See illustration
on opposite page. 50c each.

GOLD OF OPHIR
For Sixty Years a Favorite in California.

Chaplin’s Crimson Glow. A colorful new
rose from England which is very similar in
growth and blooming habit to Paul’s Scarlet,

Favorite Cecile Brunner

Climbing Cecile Brunner. Poly. This famous
climbing rose, with its great quantities of per-
fect little miniature pink buds and flowers, is
a favorite in California and will continue to
be such. Exceedingly vigorous, with dense
handsome foliage. You can cut a bouquet of
beautiful buds from it almost any time in the
year. 50c each.

Chaplin’s Pink Climber. A marvellously vig-
orous and colorful rose which can be trained
to fit almost any specified space. It will dis-
appoint no one in the quantity of its beautiful
flowers for it produces them profusely in great
trusses of from 8 to 12 flowers each, so that
the entire plant is a mass of vivid, brilliant
pink. Paul’s Scarlet is one of its parents and
it rivals that popular rose in its brilliant mass
of color. 50c each.

but the flowers are a deep crimson with a
white spot in the center, providing a distinct
but pleasing contrast. Quite out-of-the-ordinary
among climbing roses. 75c each.

Climbing Belle Siebrecht. HT. The flowers
are large, full and double; buds long and
pointed. A brilliant rich, deep pink. 50c each.

Climbing Golden Emblem. HT. This fine va-
riety was first introduced by us, and it has
been the most popular yellow climbing rose
in California from the first year that we offered
the plants. And this is not surprising, for it
produces great quantities of the same highly
colored buds of golden yellow with brilliant
red shadings, which are so much admired on
the bush form of Golden Emblem. It is an
extremely vigorous, rampant grower, with
enormous heavy canes 6, 8, and even 10 feet
long produced in one growing season. One
plant of Climbing Golden Emblem will produce
many times the number of beautiful long-
stemmed buds for cutting that can be secured
from the ordinary bush. 50c each.

Climbing Dame Edith Helen. HT. This is
fine climbing sport which originated in our
rose fields. Dame Edith Helen is one of the
most popular pink bush Roses, and this climb-
ing variety produces flowers which are exactly
like those on the bush, great, large, full flow-
ers of glowing pink, delightfully fragrant, and
produced on long, stiff stems. The long climb-
ing shoots cover a large space in a very short
time. 75c each.

Cl. Hadley. Those who like the bush variety
will be able to find a place for this vigorous
climbing sport, which will produce many times
the number of flowers in a season that can be
produced on the bush. 50c each.

Two New Climbers

This is the new Everblooming Paul’s Scarlet
Climber which is exactly like that famous variety, pro-
ducing great masses of vivid scarlet red blooms in the
spring, but instead of producing only one burst of bloom
it continues to throw out clusters of its brilliant red flow-
ers throughout the growing season.

the individual buds being perfect for cutting

the strongest growing, freest blooming and
most satisfactory of the white climbing roses.

is one of the most popular bush roses grown.
Here is a strong vigorous climber with the
same glorious flame-pink color and freedom
of bloom. 50c.

Cl. Mme. Edouard Herriott. HT. A climbing
rose with the sensational coppery coloring of
Mme. Edouard Herriott. The flowers are pro-
duced in profusion all summer and are just
as bright in color and even better in shape
than the bush. 50c.

Cl. Radiance. HT. Wherever roses are
grown, Radiance is popular. This climbing
sport of the fine, silvery-pink rose grows to
about 8 or 10 feet, and produces a great pro-
fusion of blooms. 50c.

The Dainty Cherokees

We like to recommend the old single flow-
ering Cherokee Roses for California because
they fit in so well with our colorful informal
landscapes. The foliage, unlike most climbing
roses, is a bright shining green at all times
during the year, and the perfect delicately
colored flowers produced in great masses in
the spring and to a lesser degree throughout
the rest of the year are lovely indeed. Al-
ways allow them to ramble unpruned over
the object to be covered.

Cl. Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. The most
famous yellow rose now has a climbing coun-

terpart with the same brilliant, unfading
color, 50c.
Dorothy Perkins. W. A _ hardy, vigorous

spring blooming climber which is always de-
pendable for porches, pergolas or banks.
Great clusters of small, very double, shell-
pink flowers. 50c each.

New Royal Scarlet

Royal Scarlet. HW. A gorgeous new
member of the rose aristocracy which
we prefer to the older Paul’s Scarlet
Climber. The glowing ruddy crimson
flowers are produced in the utmost pro-
fusion on every arching spray, but the

color is a little darker and not so glar-
ing as Paul’s Scarlet, and there are
great quantities of beautifully shaped
little buds which Paul’s does not have.
In addition, it blooms about ten days

earlier than Paul’s Scarlet. One of the
most effective and beautiful red climb-
ing roses. Exceedingly vigorous in
habit. 75c each.

Two Good Yellow Climbers

Cl. Mrs. Aaron Ward. HT. This variety in
the bush form is one of the most charming of
all roses, and this is a good vigorous climb-
ing sport. Tawny golden buff flowers, pro-
duced all summer, and if you wish a climbing
rose which will not only provide a mass of
color in the garden but will give you many
beautiful long-stemmed buds for cutting, try
this one. 50c each.

Climbing Sunburst. HT. Over the past ten
years we have probably sold more Climbing
Sunburst than any other climbing yellow rose,
and we expect to sell just about as many
during the next ten, for it is always satis-
factory, with its large, deep golden yellow
buds, with the deeper sunset tints, produced
continuously throughout the season. 50c each

Dr. Van Fleet. HW. A beautiful hardy
climber, rampantly vigorous in growth, and
producing in the early spring quantities of
light pink roses the color of nls blossoms,
on long individual stems. 50c each.

Emily Gray. HW. Glossy, Holly-like foliage,
with clusters of bright yellow flowers in the
spring. 50c each.

Gold of Ophir. (Beauty of Glazenwood, For-
tunes Yellow). Some of the finest old rose
plants in California are of this variety. A mar-
velously beautiful thing in the spring with its
mass of old gold and apricot flowers which
literally cover the plant. See illustration op-
posite page. S0c.

Jacotte. HW. A spring bloomer with lovely
21!/,-inch flowers of salmon-orange, delightfully
scented. The foliage is rich, dark, glossy
green, more handsome and disease-resistant
than most climbers. 50c.

Lamarque. Noisette. A good old depend-
able white spring bloomer. A mass of flow-
ers in spring. 50c each.

Marechal Neil. This superb old lemon yel-
low Tea Rose with its large globular, highly
perfumed blooms, still remains deservedly,
popular. 50c each.

Mermaid. Exquisitely beautiful single flow-
ers of great size, pale sulphury yellow with a
gold center. It blooms steadily throughout the
season at the tips of the new growth and
while it may climb, it does best as an un-
pruned rambling shrub. The great glossy
foliage is handsome in itself, and the beauty
of its exquisite flowers will fascinate you.
75c each.

Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. A remarkable
new climbing rose from Spain, making a vig-
orous growth suitable for covering the largest
spaces, and producing an extraordinary abun-
dance of exquisite delicate pink blooms,
shaded carmine, the flowers coming three to
five on a stem and opening one after the
other so that the blooming season is unusually
long. The buds are longpointed, and the
wavy petals form a large, semi-double open
flower, radiating a delightful fragrance. 75c

Primrose. HW. Bright primrose-yellow flow-
ers, medium size, full, and lasting, slightly
fragrant, borne on a very vigorous plant, with
rich green, glossy, disease-resistant foliage.
One of the best yellow climbers for moderate
height. 50c each.

Mrs. Geo. C. Thomas. Grows to 8 or 10

feet, bearing in loose clusters its beautiful,
long, coppery orange buds, opening to
salmon-pink flowers suffused with yellow.

Very fine for table decoration. 50c each.

Cl. Rose Marie. HT. The beautifully formed
rose-pink flowers are larger than on the bush
form; they are borne in greater profusion all
during the spring, summer and fall and they
are just as fragrant, yet this climber will make
an enormous plant 8 or 10 feet high in one
season and bloom while doing it. A won-
der. 50c.

CHEROKEE ROSES

Quantities of Colorful Pink, Red or White Blooms.

Paul’s Lemon Pillar. Almost unknown on
the Pacific Coast, this rose is of such an un-
usual character and the flowers are so very
attractive that we call particular attention to
it. It is of medium growth, with very long,
pale lemon-yellow buds, opening to extremely
large, full, and very fragrant, sulphur-yellow
flowers, each flower borne on a long strong
stem. 75c each.

Paul’s Scarlet Climber. HW. The flowers
are an intense vivid scarlet, semi-double and
are very freely produced in clusters of from
3 to 20 biecine on long much branched canes,
the plant being a mass of color from top to
bottom. The flowers do not fade but maintain
their color until the petals fall. It is a strong
grower and there is nothing to compare with
it for striking effect. See Blaze, the new Ever-
blooming Paul's Scarlet on the preceding page
and Royal Scarlet described below. 50c each.

Armstrong Select Tree Roses

Standard or Tree-shaped roses are made by budding the variety of rose de-
sired into a tall, straight stalk at a height of 40 inches from the ground, forming
a bushy head at the top of this straight stalk. Many rose varieties produce even
more blooms when grown in this way than on an ordinary bush, and the indi-
vidual flowers are frequently larger and more brilliantly colored. For lining walks,
emphasizing corners, or planting in locations where height is desired, Tree Roses

are extremely effective.

We believe Armstrong Tree Roses to
be the finest produced in this couniry,
and every specimen sent out by us will
have a large bushy uniform head on a
stout, straight stalk. It is easy to pro-
duce inferior Tree Roses, but it takes
much time and attention to produce
Armstrong Tree Roses. It takes two and
a half years to produce the stalk alone
for an Armstrong Tree Rose and then
two summers more to grow the head.
Only in this way can we insure that our
friends will be assured of the best, and
unless Tree Roses are of the best, they
are very disappointing to the purchaser.

Most of our Tree Roses are taken up
with a ball of earth on the roots, but
when they are to be shipped a long
distance by rail, we remove the earth
to save weight.

Treat Them Right

There are two things that all Roses must
have to give the best results, whether they
be Bush, Climber, or Tree. The first is water,
and plenty of it, particularly in dry climates,
in the dry season. The second is fertilizer. It
makes little difference whether it be barnyard
or commercial fertilizer, just so there is plenty
of it and it is put where the roots can get it.

PALMS and BAMBOOS

Palms are sentinels of plant life in the arid region of the Southwest;
no plants lend such a sense of majesty and dignity to the landscape
when once the larger varieties attain mature age. And no group is
capable of producing so strong a suggestion of tropical vegetation as
the Palms with their graceful evergreen fronds.

Fan Palms

Washingtonia filifera. ‘‘California Fan
Palm.”’ 80 ft. The most characteristic
plant of California, being native to the
desert regions. Very tall, stout trunk
surmounted by large fan-shaped dark
