Watsonias (Bugle Lilies) 
(Photo Above) 
A South African bulbous plant similar to a 
gladiolus in foliage and bloom. Flowers produced 
in great abundance; as many as 5 0 have been 
counted on a single spike. Does not have to be 
replanted each year as do gladiolus. They in¬ 
crease in size and beauty each year. Valuable for 
planting in front of shrubbery to add color to the 
landscape. Orders for watsonias can only be filled 
in August while plants are dormant. Especially 
valuable as cut flowers as they bloom early in 
April. I offer 4 varieties; rose-pink shaded with 
salmon, light rose-pink, pure white. These are 
$1.50 per doz. (All large flowering varieties). 
"Lavender Queen” New largest flowered variety 
in my collection; beautiful sparkling rose-lavender. 
5 0c each. 
MALUS ELEYII—(Photo above). A new and start¬ 
ling hybrid. Branchy and fast growing trees. 
Foliage in early spring a brilliant red that grad¬ 
ually turns to bronze. Reddist of all crabapples. 
Single dark red blooms; very prolific and pro¬ 
duces masses of bright red fruits about the size 
of large cherries. Very novel and highly orna¬ 
mental. Large specimen trees 6-7 ft. in height, 
$2.50 each. 36-inch trees for $1.75 each. 
NOTE—The beauty ami colorfulness of th's 
tree over a long season cannot be overestimated. It 
produces masses of dark velvety red flowers fol¬ 
lowed by darkest red foliage that it retains until 
quite late in the season. It is covered for months 
of the fall by scarlet apples in clusters reminding 
one of bunches of ripe cherries.
