^"•'Sl-a'de California Privet 



I have over 450,000 of this special ffrade of California Privet, 

 grown by a new method. The illustration shows a fair sample of each 

 size. Note the excellent root system. 



PRICES 



12 to 18 inches $ 8.00 per 1000 



1^ to 2 feet 10.50 per 1000 



Packed free for cash with order. No order accepted for less than 1000 plants. 



Also over two millions of California Privet, of finest quality, in all 

 sizes, from one to four feet, grown in the usual way. Very attractive 

 prices, especially in carload lots, given on request. 



I have much the largest and best stock of California Privet of any 

 nursery in the world.

Burlap will be one of the items that 

 add to the cost of the nursery business 

 this year and if many more cargoes are 

 submarined it may become difficult to 

 procure at any price. 



One of the most prosperous seasons 

 in the history of the nursery business at 

 Fresno, Cal., is reported to be at its 

 height at present by three of the largest 

 producers of ornamental shrubs and trees, 

 as well as vineyard and orchard stock. 



A RECENT issue of the Eural World, 

 with 350,000 circulation, principally on 

 the Pacific coast, recently devoted two 

 pages in color to illustrations of the Cot- 

 tage Gardens Nurseries at Eureka, with 

 a page of general text largely based on 

 the work undertaken there. 



OUTBREAK OF POPLAR CANKER. 



The Department of Agriculture says 

 the poplars of this country are threat- 

 ened by a dangerous fungous disease 

 which has been imported from Europe. 

 This disease attacks the twigs, limbs 

 and trunks of the black and Lombardy 

 poplars, Populus nigra, and of the Caro- 

 liha poplars or cottonwoods, Populus del- 

 toides, and may be expected to attack 

 other species of poplars and cotton- 

 woods, in regions not yet investigated. 



The effect of the fungus is as follows: 

 Cankers are formed at the point of at- 

 tack, spread rapidly and often girdle the 

 twig, limb or trunk at the point of at- 

 tack, killing the part above the canker. 

 Trees attacked on the trunk become 

 "spike topped." The death of limbs 

 and twigs gives the trees a ragged ap- 

 pearance, which spoils their beauty, and 

 later kills them. 



The European poplar-canker is most 

 severe in its effect on stored and trans- 

 planted nursery stock. Trees when in 

 transilf, and when heeled in the ground, 

 or freshly transplanted in the spring, are 

 readily attacked by the fungus and 

 ruined within a short time. This dis- 

 ease is spread by means of spores pro-

duced in fruiting bodies in the form of 

 small pimples or pustules in the bark of 

 the cankers. 



The fungus causing European poplar- 

 canker was first found in Troyes, 

 France, and described in 1884. The dis- 

 ease was first reported in America in 

 1915. During 1916 the pathologist of 

 the department found the disease preva- 

 lent in small areas in certain districts in 

 New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode 

 Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Penn- 

 sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, 

 Nebraska and New Mexico. The cen- 

 ters of infections appear to be in every 

 case either certain nurseries now known 

 to contain diseased tree.s, or points where 

 poplars received from such nurseries 

 have been planted.
