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 i 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; i to 2 feet high, Si each. Bare roots, $4 per doz.

The Redwood Rose is a sweet- 
brier, growing 3 to 4 feet high, 
with pink flowers and bright red 
fruit. It is fine for the fern bed.

masses 6 to 10 feet high, with 
charming light pink flowers and 
ornamental hips in fall and 
winter, and are able to care for 
themselves after the first year. 
All at 25 cts. each, $2 per doz.

Blackberry family, but quite dis- 
tinct. It is a handsome shrub, 
with large red flowers and bright 
yellow, edible fruit, which is 
decidedly ornamental. Well 
worth growing. 25 cts. each. 
SNOWBERRY is a shrub 
that all know. Most excellent

better. 25 cts. each, $1.50 |)cr
