*PEACH MANDARIN (Prunus persica (?) var.). H4-5. This is a most attractive 
dwarf shrub which, if grown in the ordinary way, will in several years make a globular 
bush four or five feet in diameter which blooms so freely as to look like one huge bril¬ 
liant red flower. However, we think its appearance is improved, at least in its younger 
stages, by top working it on stems of various heights. 1 ft. stems $1.00. 
**PEACH WEEPING DOUBLE PINK. For several years we have grown the Weep¬ 
ing Double Red and Weeping Double White Peaches, but were unable to find any Weep¬ 
ing Double Pink variety so attempted to breed one and were remarkably fortunate in 
not only obtaining what we wanted but in getting one with flowers as fine as the very 
best of the erect growers. We recommend it very highly. Top-grafted on 4 ft. stems 
$2.50. 
*PEAR (Pyrus spp.). H5 (IV). It is not generally known that there are such things 
as flowering pears, but there are several. They are highly attractive, not only for 
the profusion of spring bloom, but for their brilliant autumnal foliage which will rank 
in color with the finest things of that type. Assorted varieties: 4-6 ft. $2.00, 3-4 ft. 
$1.50, 2-3 ft. $1.25. 
DECIDUOUS TREES 
RED HORSE CHESTNUT (Aesculus carnea). H5 (V). This beautiful, medium-sized, 
red-flowering tree is a great favorite in the Northwest but little used in California al¬ 
though it thrives very well indeed here. The red flowers make a rich contrast with 
the deep green leaves in late spring. 4-5 ft. $1.75, 3-4 ft. $1.25. 
CERASUS CAPULI. H3-4. Raised from seed brought from the mountains of Ecuador 
where it is highly esteemed as a fruiting cherry and is said to come true from seed. 
The leaves are willow-like and seem to be practically evergreen. It may be Prunus 
salicifolia. The foliage and general appearance is quite attractive and the fruit should 
be at least interesting. 4-6 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.25; gal. can 2-3 ft. $1.00. 
PEKING HAWTHORN (Crataegus pinnatifida major). H5 (V). Has by far the 
largest berries of all, up to an inch and a half in diameter and resembling red crab- 
apples. Growth spreading and rapid. 6-8 ft. $2.00, 4-6 ft. $1.50. 
*PURPLE LEAVED BEECH (Fagus sylvatica purpurea). H5 (V). A noble tree 
thriving best under the cool coast conditions from Central California north, but with 
care as to a favorable location, it can be grown almost anywhere in California. Growth 
is slow. Prices for 6-8 ft. trees established in tubs range from $6.00 to $10.00 depend¬ 
ing on their individual development. 
BOUGAINVILLEA TREE (Koelreuteria bipinnata). H2-3. This is considered one of 
the most showy and beautiful trees that can be grown in this climate. Its general ap¬ 
pearance 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 bipin- 
nate and nearly evergreen. The yellow flowers are numerous but small. Its striking 
feature is the large bladder-like pods which contain the seeds and assume intensely 
brilliant tints in late summer and early fall. Top-grafted 10-12 ft. $5.00, 8-10 ft. $4.00; 
seedlings 3-4 ft. $1.50. 
*STYRAX OBASSIA. H5 (V). The Styraxes are grown mainly for their handsome 
flowers. This one is a large shrub or small tree with large leaves and fragrant white 
flowers, borne in racemes as much as eight inches long. Pot grown I-IV 2 ft. 60c. 
DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
: BERBERIS ORTHOBOTRYS. H4-5. A showy shrub mainly grown for its mass of 
brilliant scarlet berries which last a long time. A. M. R. H. S. Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c. 
CORAL-GLOW QUINCE (Chaenomeles japonica corallina). H5 (V). One of our finest 
kinds. Growth moderate and will not get as large as the common form. Habit some¬ 
what spreading so will usually be about as wide as tall. An extremely heavy bloomer 
sometimes covering the bush almost completely with its beautiful yellowish-coral or 
salmon-apricot colored flowers. 3-4 ft. $1.75, 2-3 ft. $1.25, 1)4-2 ft. $1.00. 
^DOUBLE VERMILION QUINCE (Chaenomeles lagenaria var.). H5 (V). This is 
valuable not simply because it is double, but on account of the rich color of the flowers. 
It is always admired. 1-1)4 ft. $1.00. 
Other Flowering Quinces are priced in Part II.
