Deciduous Shade Trees 
The value of this class of hardy tree for all sec¬ 
tions of the West should not be overlooked. They fur¬ 
nish our fastest growing trees, and among them are 
varieties which are unexcelled for summer shade. The 
fact that they lose their leaves in the winter is often 
an advantage, as often shade is wanted during the 
warm months, while it is desirable to let in the sun¬ 
light in winter. The freshness of the new leaves in the 
spring is a cheerful sight, and some varieties turn bril¬ 
liant color in fall. 
Prices of those listed in containers are for stronger 
more heavily branched trees.

Flowering Peach 
(PRUNUS PERSICA VULGARIS) 
These Double Flowering Peaches are 
highly esteemed ornamental trees for gar¬ 
den adornment and afford excellent cut- 
flower material, the flowers covering every 
branch in spring before the leaves appear. 
The cutting of the flowering branches 
serves to keep the trees shapely as all 
pruning of Flowering Peaches should be 
done in Spring, cutting back all growth of 
the previous season to about 8 inches. Fall 
pruning simply cuts off flowering wood. 
Flowering Peaches thrive in almost any 
soil throughout California and Southwest 
states. 
SAN JOSE PINK. Extremely early, 10 days 
ahead of any other. Flowers double, pink, 
medium sized. 
WOODSIDE. Flowers double large and wide 
open changing appearance, inconspicuously varie¬ 
gated. The ground color is soft silvery pink, 
lightly marked with red, giving the effect of 
deep rose from a distance. 
EARLY DOUBLE RED. Ten days ahead of the 
rest. Flowers of good size, with loosely formed 
petals, clear light red. 
DOUBLE WHITE. Very large snow white 
flowers. 
DOUBLE MAROON. Not a good name, as the 
flowers are really a very deep red, rather than 
maroon. Blossom of the same fine form as 
Woodside. 
PEPPERMINT STICK. A very unusual varie¬ 
gated variety. The double flowers are white, 
more or less marked with red stripes, varying 
from narrow lines to heavy red markings. Here 
and there throughout the tree solid red flowers 
may develop, and even branches with all red 
flowers. The tree in bloom is as strikingly beauti¬ 
ful as it is curious. 
( New Dwarf Flowering Peach ( 
( Mandarin • 
/ This delightful dwarf Peach makes a l 
< shrub, not over 3 feet in height, of very j 
I picturesque form. The foliage is rich and l 
j practically evergreen, but drops in time to ) 
I display to best advantage the solid mass 
• of double red flowers, possibly the richest ) 
f shade of red of all the flowering fruit ; 
’l trees. 2yr. old plants, $1.25. ) 
CAMELLIAEFLORA. The finest of the double 
reds with large flowers very double and well 
filled out. 
BURBANK. Large double deep pink flowers 
with broad petals. 
DOUBLE CERISE. Latest of all, excellent to 
prolong the season. Flowers deep pink becoming 
almost claret color as they develop. 
All of the above Flowering Peaches have 
been grown in our fields at Chatsworth for 
an extra season, pruned in spring to form 
well branched tops. They are much heav¬ 
ier caliper and have developed a fine sys¬ 
tem of branches, not to be compared with 
one-year trees of the same or taller heights. 
The bare root trees will be supplied in Janu¬ 
ary, February and March, and will bloom the 
first season if planted early. 
The boxed specimens are especially selected 
trees taken up with all of the root system ana 
will give immediate, beautiful appearance. They 
are obtainable at Flowerland throughout the year 
and in spring are in full bloom.
