New Items

“Garden Aristocrats 1939” 
This is the title of a descriptive booklet that we get out 
annually in January. It contains considerably more descrip¬ 
tive material than this list and also includes quite a number of 
very new things of which the present supply is too small to be 
included in a wholesale list. 
In January we will mail a copy of this booklet to every 
nurserj’^man in Washington, Oregon, and California whose name 
is on our mailing list. We shall be glad, upon request, to send 
a copy to any address in the world. 
Lining Out Stock 
For your convenience we have assembled this material at 
the end of this list. Much of it is scarce.
