Shipping Charges. All transportation charges are to be paid by the purchaser and
will be collected at destination, unless arrangements are made to prepay shipment. Our
responsibility for goods sold ceases upon their delivery, in good condition, to forwarding
companies. Clams for Joss or damage must be made upon the latter. We shall, however,
gladly assist customers to secure prompt delivery, and in case of delayed freight ‘shipment,
we will start a tracer immediately upon request. Every means at our command will be
offered to our customers to recover damages or losses that may have happened to the
stock during transit. (NorE:—Small orders for roses, deciduous fruit trees, and small
potted plants may be forwarded by mail.)
Substitution. When out of varieties or sizes ordered, we will substitute with others
as nearly similar as possible, unless instructed to the contrary. We never make substitu-
tions on large orders for commercial planting without first consulting the customer.
Packing. We will make no charge ordinarily for packing on retail orders to any points
in the United States, Canada, or Mexico. When extra packing is necessary for shipment,
a charge will be made only to cover the cost of packing materials.
Guarantee. We guarantee every plant we offer to be true to name; however, It is
understood that should any stock prove to be otherwise, the Japanese Nursery Company
shall be liable only for the sum paid for the stock which may prove untrue, and not for
any greater amount. Where planting is done by us for our patrons under special arrange-
ments, such service will include only a six-months’ guarantee for the successful living of
the plants, and excepting damage of the plants through flood, drought, freeze, frost, or
any other causes beyond our control, we will replace those that were lost with others of
equal quality or refund money. We require, however, that the customers follow explicitly
our Instructions in care of the plants after they have been set out. Such special arrange-
ment must be in writing, signed by both the purchaser and the Japanese Nursery Company.
Claims. Any error that we may make will be gladly rectified by us provided that
our customers enter such claims within ten days after the receipt of the goods.
ABBREVIATIONS
In this Catalogue the hardiness of the various items is indicated by capital letters
following each name. These letters have the following significance:
TT., Very Tender. Adapted only to South Florida and the lower Rio Grande sections
where frost is a rare occurrence.
T., Tender. Hardy only in regions where heavy freezing weather does not occur; tempera-
tures much below freezing are likely to cause damage.
SH., Semi-Hardy. Ordinarily will stand midwinter temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees Fahr.
H., Hardy. Hardy in all parts of the southwestern and southern states.
HI., Very Hardy. As a general rule, will stand midwinter temperatures of zero or lower
degrees Fahr.
The figures immediately following the capital letters indicate the approximate mature
height in feet, except that followed by “Sp.” the width of spread is indicated instead of
height. ‘hese estimates are for trees in their natural habitat, or, in some cases, in Houston
and vicinity.
Being at best only approximations, these guides as to hardiness and ultimate size are
not guaranteed as either minimums or maximums. These features are inherently variable
In every species of tree, and their determination is further complicated by varyimg con-
ditions; therefore no one can accurately predict them.

Azaleas
Flower lovers everywhere know and appreciate this gorgeous flower which, from February to
April, presents a most spectacular riot of colors in Southern gardens. Contrary to general opinion,
Azaleas are easily transplanted and grow readily provided that certain necessary requirements are
met. The plants require acid soil, either natural muck or peat moss added to the neutral soil. To
the prepared soil, about one-fourth to one-half pound of aluminum sulphate per square yard, well
raked in, will keep the soil in proper condition. Azaleas require semi-shade and good drainage. During
hot, dry weather they should be watered frequently.

Camellia
Common Camellia
Camellia japonica H. 15
A handsome evergreen shrub of compact
form, with rich, glossy, dark green leaves. The
exquisite, perfectly moulded, waxy flower is
beautifully tinted and never fails to draw con-
stant admiration when it unfolds in midwinter.
It thrives best in a semi-acid soil and should have
some protection from the sun in midsummer,
especially while young.
CLASS A—Very rare and unusual kinds

flowering Camellias. Cherry-red with white

elegant shape, pink and red variegated with
white margin and has faint scent. One of the

and effective of all plants for landscape work.

that are needle-shaped and those that are scale-
like.

Fruit, Nut Trees
and
Berry Plants
Soil. Blackberries and Dewberries do
well on loam or sandy soil. McDonald and
Haupt are adapted to black land. Heavy
soil with loose rock makes good land for
berries.
Planting. Blackberry and Dewberry
vines should be planted in about the same
manner as tomato or potato slips, but
somewhat deeper. The soil should be well
worked with spade or with plow and
harrow. It would be best to prepare beds
Peach
for the plants slightly higher than the level
of the ground; however, this is not neces-
sary. The tops of the vines to be planted
should next be cut back to 4 to 5 inches
above the roots. Plants are now ready to
be set out. They should be set very deeply,
leaving only a part of the tops abave the
ground. Next, each plant should be given
about a quart or more of water, even though
the soil may be moist at the time. Dry
soil should then be placed over the wet until
only the tips of the berry-vines show.
To kill out weeds in large plantings, a
heavy drag run over the rows just about the
time that the first shoots begin to grow will
prove to be very effective.
Pruning. It is after the plants have
made their second year’s growth that partic-
ular care should be given them in pruning.
After the fruit has been gathered in the
spring, all the old growth should be cut off,
and the new growth, which will produce
fruit the following year, should remain. If
the new growth is so abundant that it inter-
feres with the gathering of the crop, it
Celeste Figs
may be cut back at the time;
however it is better to wait until
this growth is mature.
For berries such asthe McDonald
and Haupt, the tops may be cut
back a few inches above the ground
any time aiter the fruit has been
gathered until August, provided
the plants are not making a soft,
vigorous growth.

Figs
Cold Sections. Freezing weather occurs each
year in these sections. Prune the tops to the
ground, allowing all new growth to come from
below the ground.
Warm Sections. Freezing weather does not
occur each year in these sections. Prune the
tree to one stem about 2 feet high before the
branches begin. Ramsey and Magnolia will bear
on new growth every year, but other varieties
require two years’ growth.
Do not allow suckers to grow on the Fig tree,
but prune the tree so that it will have a clean
body at least 2 feet high. Cut tops back to 6 to
12 inches above the ground when planting.
Such trees will bear freely and will be hardier
than if the sprouts are allowed to grow. Ramsey
and Magnolia may be allowed to grow with
several sprouts which will fruit each year, regard-
less of whether frozen back in the winter or not.
They are the best varieties for North Texas.

Grapes
Grapes may be grown in every section of the
Southwest by selection of proper varieties. Ina
general way, the Vinifera varieties are suitable
for those sections where irrigation may be had,
but not elsewhere. These varieties are coming
into prominence and will probably prove adap-
table to a much larger area than indicated herein.
Grapes are usually spaced 8 to 10 feet apart.
Training Vines, Set 6 to 7-foot posts firmly
in the ground in rows, spacing them about 20 feet
apart. Nail a cross-arm about 2 to 3 feet long to
the top of each post and place two wires on the
ends of the cross-arm. Tie the single stem of the
vine with these wires. The vines, trained on these
wires, will form an arbor that will shade the fruit
and vine, and make the spraying of the vines less
difficult.
Pruning. Prune the vines about February,
before the sap starts to rise. After the first year,
all American varieties of Grapes should be
pruned back severely every year about December
or January, leaving only two or three eyes or
buds of the last season’s growth on each shoot.
Spraying. Grapes are especially susceptible
to rot, which disease must be controlled in order
to raise Grapes successfully. We recommend
Bordeaux Mixture, a spray, to control this
disease.
Carman. Medium-sized black berries. Plant is
resistant to diseases and pests.
Concord. Most popular of American Grapes.

Pears
Pear-culture has been on the standstill for
many years because of Pear blight, a serious
disease. Unfortunately, the finest fruits are
borne on the trees most susceptible to Pear
blight. Only those who give their trees the best
of care are likely to succeed with those sorts that
are susceptible. Plant from 16 to 18 feet each
way. Kieffer and Garber should be cut back for
two or three years to make the tree spread. For
cultural directions, see page 46.
Kieffer. Large fruit, fine for preserving. Sep-
tember and October. Almost totally immune

Pecans
Planting. Pecans should be spaced from 40
to 60 feet apart each way. We estimate the fol-
lowing number of trees per acre: 40 x 40 ft., 27
trees; 50 x 50 ft., 17 trees; 60 x 60 ft., 12 trees.
By planting the trees far apart, almost a full
crop of corn, cotton, vegetables, or fruit trees,
such as plums, figs, oranges, peaches, or berry
plants, may be grown. On the other hand, if
desired, the trees may be planted 30x 60 ft.
apart, and after fifteen to twenty years, half of
the trees may be cut out, making the space
60 x 60 ft. In the meantime the trees to be re-
moved would have fruited many years and would
have paid a hundredfold for their cost, without
requiring any additional cost of cultivation or
ground.
Holes about 2 to 3 feet in diameter, and at
least 3 feet deep, should be prepared for planting
of Pecan trees. In addition, a post-hole about
2 feet deeper should be placed in the center of the
large hole to hold the tap-root of the tree.
The tops of the Pecans should then be cut
back, leaving only three or four of the eyes or
buds above the point of the bud or the graft,
which can be told by a slight offset on the body
of the tree. Trees should be planted a few inches
deeper than they were in the nursery, set firmly
in the ground, and well watered. It is advisable
to mound dry soil up on the stem of the tree toa
height of about 1 foot; make a ditch around the
mound to hold sufficient water to soak down to
the end of the root. The trees, if watered
abundantly the first year, will be almost sure to
live.
Pecan Insects. The worst insect enemy of
the Pecan in this part of the country is the Case-
Bearer, which punctures the young nuts. The
use of lime sulphur in January and February
should control this insect.
With proper cultivation and care in selection
of varieties the Pecan can be grown in almost
every part of the Southwest.
Burkett. Large, thin-shelled nut of good
quality. Gives exceptionally large crops.
Proved over a large area of West Texas and
one of the foremost Pecans in that section.
Makes a beautiful, fast-growing shade tree.
Stuart. Large nut; plump kernel. Heavy
bearer. One of the most widely planted.
Success. A good grower. Depend on it for
heavy crops of large nuts. Regarded by
many as the best for this section of Texas.
*Western Schley. Medium-sized nuts with a
high percentage of kernel. Prolific and widely
adapted in the eastern parts of Texas and
Oklahoma.
*Texas Wonder. Claimed by its originator
to be almost equal to the well-advertised
Mahan Pecan in size and quality.

Japanese Persimmons
The Japanese Persimmons are becoming more
popular all the time. Their fruits are delicious as
well as ornate. In orchard planting they should
be spaced about 20 feet apart. To assure com-
plete pollenization, one Gailey tree should be
planted for every ten of the large-fruiting
varieties.
Gailey. Suitable for pollenization purposes
wherever other sorts can be grown. Inferior
fruit.
Fuyu. Hardly astringent or puckery. Large,
round, flattened fruit with firm meat. October
to November.
Hachiya. Almost seedless variety. Large, coni-
cal fruit. One of the largest and handsomest.
October to November.
Tane-Nashi. Seedless. Large, early ripening
fruit. Very productive. One of the very best.

Citrus Fruits
Satsumas, Tangerines, Kumquats, and a few other varieties of Citrus Fruits are grown with fair
success for a distance of fifty to too miles inland. The hardiest Grapefruit and Lemons are often
damaged, if not killed outright, in all sections except the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The same is
true of tender varieties of Oranges.
Except in the region south of Corpus Christi, where commercial groves are common, the planting
of Citrus Fruits should be limited to a few trees for home use, unless the planter is experienced and
knows his business thoroughly. Every home in the coastal belt, however, should have a few trees
of the hardier sorts for home use.
It should be noted that practically all the Citrus Trees planted outside the Rio Grande Valley
region are budded or grafted on Citrus trifoliata stocks, which generally increases their hardiness.
Meyer and Ponderosa Lemons are notable exceptions, being usually on their own roots.
Grapefruit
Dunean. Recommended not only as the hardi-
est of the Grapefruits, but for the fine quality
of its fruits, which have long been the standard
by which others are judged.
Marsh Seedless. A seedless Grapefruit. A good

tensively planted in the Rio Grande Valley.
Thompson (Pink Marsh Seedless). A new va-
riety rapidly growing in favor. Has the good
qualities of its parent plus the pink-fleshed
feature.

How to Plant and to Prevent Diseases and Pests
The plants should always be cut back at time of planting so that the stems of the Rose bush are
about 5 to 6 inches long. The soil should be mounded almost to the top of these stems. Older bushes
should be cut back about half in February or March after frost and again (although not so severely)
in August between the summer and fall blooming periods. This will increase the size and the quantity
of flowers produced. For Climbing Roses cut out any dead wood in the winter, and trim the extremely
long branches back to about one-half.
Diseases and Pests. Dust plants every two weeks with a combination of 9 parts Superfine
Sulphur and 1 part Arsenate of Lead. Do this whether or not any disease is apparent. It will prevent
mildew and black-spot, either of which is hard to eradicate when started. Spraying with a solution
of ‘““Black-Leaf 40” will destroy green plant-lice when they appear.
For further information ask for our instruction circular.

General Cultural Information
PLANTING AND PRUNING
If the customer cannot plant the trees immediately after they are received, he should unpack
them and set them in a trench, throwing earth over their roots and wetting them thoroughly. If
trees are frozen when received, set them in a trench and cover entirely with earth until the weather
is warmer.
The ground should be thoroughly plowed or otherwise cultivated before the plants are received.
Make holes for planting about I to 2 feet deep and about 2 feet or more in diameter, unless other-
wise specified.
In general, fruit trees should be planted about the same depth that they set when in the nursery.
Throw in loose soil until the roots are covered, and pour in water until the hole will hold no more.
Fill up the remainder of the hole with soil, mounding it well up the stem of the tree. Do not pack the
soil hard. The tops of the trees should be cut off about 12 to 24 inches from the ground, depending
on the size of the tree. For two-year-old trees, cut above three or four of the branches and cut the
branches 3 to 4 inches from the body of the tree.
Pruning trees severely almost insures their life and makes a low, robust, healthy specimen that
shades its own body. Any bruised or injured limbs should, of course, be trimmed off.
Cut off all suckers 6 to 12 inches from the ground. After the first year, all weaker branches should
be cut out. For pears and plums, trim the longer branches back half-way about January or February.
All branches removed should be cut or sawed off close to the body of the tree.
Cultivation of the trees is another necessary item, especially during the first few years. The
ground should be worked with plow and hoe often until the tree is four or five years old, and some-
what less frequently afterward.
It is assumed that the customer will not make a horse-lot, cow-pasture, ete., out of his orchard.
If rabbits are injuring the young trees, newspapers, cornstalks, or straw tied around the base of the
tree will prevent this.
Although we have given instructions how to keep trees that cannot be planted immediately, we
advise that they be planted as soon as possible where they are to stand. Customers should try to
follow these instructions as carefully as possible, and if any of these details are not clear, we are always
glad to furnish additional information upon inquiry.
PRUNING FLOWERING SHRUBS
Flowering shrubs should be cut back half-way or more before planting, also to some extent each
winter. To make the plants bloom more freely and for a longer season, it is advisable to cut the
flowers off as soon as they are past their best, so that seeds are not allowed to form.
HOW TO WATER TREES AND SHRUBS
When planting, fill the hole nearly full of earth, pour in water until it stands for a moment, then,
while the water is standing, shake the tree, to settle the mud around the roots. Dry soil may then
be shoveled in until a mound has been made. This mound should not be packed.
For pecan trees, large evergreens, and for trees of any kind that are dry, the mound should be
about I foot up the stem of the trees.
No matter when trees have been planted, they should never be watered by merely pouring the
water on the top of the ground. This practice is sure death to roses, especially. A shallow hole
should be dug near the tree or shrub and this should be filled with water; after the water has been
soaked up, cover the hole with dry soil. Do not pack this soil. Another satisfactory method is to
make a trench around the tree, fill the trench with water, then rake loose, dry soil over the wet
earth when the water has been soaked in.
In dry weather, trees should be well watered about once a week, so that the water will reach the
roots. Merely sprinkling the trees, as one would a lawn, is of no avail.
TO PROTECT TREES FROM FROST
It is seldom necessary to protect trees for more than three nights, and then only sufficiently
to raise the temperature from 2 to 5 degrees.
For large orchards, smudge-pots burning crude oil are satisfactory; for smaller orchards, burning
brush, or anything to get a good cloud of smoke, will serve; for trees in the yard, spraying the trees
with water about dark, when frost threatens, is a good method. The freezing of the water on the
limbs of the trees protects them from the cold.
POLLINATION
One may greatly increase the yield of fruits and berries by helping the plant to become pollenized.
Several stands of bees near the fruit trees or berry plants will accomplish this satisfactorily.
TO CONTROL ROOT-ROT
Root-rot is caused by a fungus which cannot live through the winter where there are no roots of
live plants susceptible to it. Pear trees are most affected by it, while peach and plum are immune.
Morning-glory vines and certain weeds that live through the winter will carry the fungus and cause
it to multiply. The best remedy is to plant trees and crops that are not susceptible to the root-rot
fungus and to give late summer and fall cultivation, so that no fungus will be carried through the
winter. In one or two years’ time, root-rot should be reduced considerably.
46 JAPANESE NURSERY CO., GENOA, TEXAS
EXCESS OF LIME IN SOIL
The first effects of root-rot and excess lime in the soil are much the same.
However, in the case
of root-rot, the tree will eventually die, whereas in the case of lime, it does not die so quickly.
Root-rot causes the bark of the roots to peel off easily, but quite the contrary is true in the case of
lime.
FERTILIZERS
To overcome the condition of excess lime, use I to.1!'2 pounds of Iron Sulphate around an
orchard tree, well worked into the soil so as to reach the ends of the roots.
Many soils require fertilizers, and all will be benefited by its application. Although there are
many excellent commercial fertilizers prepared, the best fertilizer of all is barnyard manure. How-
ever, only well-rotted manure should be used.
In planting the trees, the fertilizer should be mixed
with the soil that goes into the hole in the proportion of one part fertilizer to four parts of dirt.
Fertilizer may be applied every year or two and should be worked into the soil. As the tree grows
apply fertilizer farther and farther from the main stem, so that 1t may reach the small feeding-roots
which, in the case of shade and fruit trees, may be out 8 to 15 feet from the trunk of the tree..

We will be glad to furnish any information that we can upon inquiry. The A. and M. College,
College Station, Texas, always has material available, and is ready to help in any way that it can.

No home is complete until it is planted in a garden. Our climatic conditions in
the South are most favorable for such a garden, since we have here a wealth of trees,
shrubs, and flowers with which to make such a garden at a reasonable cost.
Many home-owners, however, are not familiar with the kinds of plants necessary
to make a harmonious effect. It is easy enough to buy a few plants and put them in
the ground, but the attaining of harmony in colors, and the ultimate sizes, adaptation
to sun, shade, and temperatures, etc., must be carefully considered.
Our staff of qualified landscape architects is available to help you plan your garden.
If you live within a few hours’ drive, we recommend a personal visit to your property,
for which we make a reasonable charge, including the cost of the trip, a complete plan,
and a planting-list.
If interested, write or telephone us, or call us at our nearest Salesyard, either Houston
or Galveston, or visit our Nursery at Genoa, where not only all the trees and plants
listed in this Catalogue, but many others, are growing. Our salesmen will welcome
you and show you our complete line of stock.
