REDWOOD TREES, 
at from 50 cts. to $4. each, 
according to size and whether balled or boxed. Prices on application. 
RHODODENDRON californicum is a very fine evergreen shrub, with rose-colored 
flowers in large clusters. I am sorry to say that I have not yet good nursery-grown 
specimens of these. If transplanted from the wild in February or early March, and if 
taken from situations in the wild where the young shrubs are exposed and slow-growing, 
very good success can be had with collected shrubs. They are from 1 to 3 feet high 
with a ball of dirt. They are heavy, and freight is at buyer's expense. 2 to 3 feet high, 
$1.50 each; 1 to 2 feet high, $1 each. 
I also have fine nursery-grown seedlings, 6 to 10 inches high, balled, 75 cts. each. 
ROSES. We have three charming Wild Roses in California, all easily grown. The 
Creeping "Wild Rose flowers at 3 or 4 inches high, and forms carpets by throwing under- 
ground runners. Very dainty. The Redwood Rose is a sweetbrier, growing 3 to 4 feet 
high, with pink flowers and bright red fruit. It is fine for the fern-bed. 
The California Wild Rose is a large shrub, which will form masses 6 to 10 feet high, 
with charming light pink flowers and ornamental hips in fall and winter, and are able 
to care for tnemselves after the first year. All at 25 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
SALMON BERRY is of the Blackberry family, but quite distinct. It is a handsome 
shrub, with large red flowers and bright yellow, edible fruit, which is decidedly orna- 
mental. Well worth growing. 50 cts. each. 
SNOWBERRY is a shrub that all know. Most excellent for its bright spring green, 
and the abundant pure white berries in winter. If cut to the ground every fall the 
berries are far better. 25 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Creeping Snowberry is an entire novelty in the garden. I have a mountain form 
which creeps rapidly. It is admirable to cover the lower banks of grade roads in the 
shade, and to hang down from above. 25 cts. each, $2 per doz.
