troduce it on a large scale next season. However, if you want to get started early on 
this and are willing to take plants from which grafting wood has been taken, we can 
supply a limited number of field grown, balled plants at $2.00 or from 5 in. pots at 
$1.25. 
FLOWERING FRUIT TREES 
FLOWERING APPLE (Malus adstringens). As to the flower of this tree we quote 
from a recent bulletin of the Morton Arboretum: “Attention is now focussed on the 
Flowering Crabapple collection (Malus in variety). While every species has contributed 
generously to the mass color effect, all honors for individual beauty belong to the hy¬ 
brid form, Malus adstringens, whose soft rose pink fiowers of such a rare shade, have 
attracted the notice and admiration of all who have seen it. It is a cross between the 
common Apple, M. pumila and the Siberian Crab, M. baccata.” 6-7 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft. 
$1.50. 
APRICOT Chas. Abraham. All the other flowering apricots are varieties of Prunus 
mume but this is a form of Prunus armeniaca from which our orchard apricots are de¬ 
rived. The very double flowers are borne before the leaves and as they appear serially, 
it has a long blooming habit. The blossoms are deep pink shading into pure red on the 
outside. Named in honor of the very well known nurseryman and horticulturist, the 
late Charles Abraham of San Francisco, who introduced this variety from the Orient 
many years ago. We believe, however, that this is the first time it has been offered 
generally. 6-7 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft. $1.75, 4-5 ft. $1.50. 
AURORA PEACH. A few years ago we selected seed from all our flowering peaches; 
grew about 500 seedlings and carried them on until they bloomed. This variety, in our 
opinion, was the best of the lot. The flowers are a lovely shade of very soft pink 
entirely free from the harsh tones which some profess to find in the other flowering 
peaches. It is an extremely free grower. Blooms early in the season und flowers keep 
very well indeed when cut. Although a secondary matter, we can add that it bears a 
moderate crop of delicious free-stone fruit with white skin and white flesh. While 
this variety was under test, we showed the flowers to a good many visitors and found 
that is was invariably admired. 6-7 ft. $2.00. 
PEACH Blushing Bride. The large saucer shaped flowers are often pure white but 
generally are more or less marked with soft rose; occasionally there is a flower which 
is entirely rose color. Growth is vigorous and habit very spreading but not drooping. 
Quite early. 6-7 ft. $2.00. 
DECIDUOUS TREES 
CERASUS CAPULI. The seed from which we raised our plants was brought from the 
mountains of Equador where it is highly esteemed as a fruiting cherry and is said to 
reproduce itself correctly from seed. The leaves are willow-like and so far seem to be 
evergreen. We suspect it may be Prunus salicifolia. The foliage and general appear¬ 
ance is quite attractive and the fruit 
should be at least interesting. Gal. 
can. 1-1% ft. $1.00. 
BOUGAINVILLEA TREE (Koel- 
reuteria bipinnata). This is con¬ 
sidered one of the most showy and 
beautiful trees that can be grown 
in this climate. Its general appear¬ 
ance is like that of the common 
Golden Rain Tree, K. paniculata, but 
it has deeper green, glossier and 
more acute leaflets on the very large 
leaves which are fully bipinnate. 
The yellow flowers are numerous but 
small. Its striking feature is the 
large bladder like pods which con¬ 
tain the seeds and assume intensely 
brilliant tints in late summer and 
early fall. 3-4 ft. $1.50, 2-3 ft. $1.25.
