*SCARLET WISTERIA TREE (Daubentonia tripetti). H3. A very rapid growing 
shrub or small tree which bears profusely all summer. The flowers are orange-red, pea¬ 
shaped and borne in clusters. The whole plant is extremely showy over a long period. 
It must be grown in full sun and should be severely pruned every fall. 5-6 ft. $1.50, 
4-5 ft. $1.25. 
^MAGNOLIA CAMBELLI. H3-4. This is renowned as one of the world’s most beauti¬ 
ful trees. Unfortunately, it is so extremely scarce that we do not believe there is a 
flowering tree in this country. If there is we would greatly appreciate being informed 
about it. The flowers are said to be pure pink and to resemble Clara Butt tulips exag¬ 
gerated to several times their size. We have only a very few plants to offer. Pot 
grown 12-15 in. $5.00. 
^MAGNOLIA LILIFLORA GRACILIS. H5 (V-VI). This is the darkest Magnolia we 
know. The purple coloring is fairly pronounced on the inside of the fragrant flower 
while the outside is nearly black. There seems to be some question about its correct 
name, but as it is somewhat known in California under the name we are using, we think 
best to continue it until we find good reason to change. Balled 2-2% ft. $4.00, 114-2 
ft. $3.00. 
^MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA LENNEI. H5 (V). An old favorite but scarce. Bears 
enormous flowers which have the usual combination of white deeply marked with rosy 
purple. The unopened buds are four inches tall, so of course the expanded flower is 
about eight inches wide. It blooms late, after most other varieties are gone and is 
the most vigorous grower of all our Oriental Magnolias. Balled 3-4 ft. $6.00, 214-3 ft. 
$5.00, 2-2% ft. $3.75. 
MAGNOLIA STELLATA. H5. Very dwarf and slow growing. Flowers have a num¬ 
ber of long narrow petals and vary from pure white to soft pink. The acme of dainti¬ 
ness. Distinct from all the others and very highly esteemed. Quite rare. Balled 2-214 
ft. $5.00, l%-2 ft. $3.00, 15-18 in. $2.50. 
*PARROTIA PERSICA. H5 (V). This is a large shrub or small tree closely related 
to Witch Hazel. In England it is highly esteemed for its vivid crimson autumnal tints. 
As we imported it only a year ago, we have not had an opportunity to see what it will 
do here in that respect. Pot grown, grafted 6-8 in. $1.00. 
PHILADELPHUS ATLAS. H5. One of Lemoine’s varieties recently imported from 
France. The pure white, usually four-petaled flowers are enormous, single and 214 
in. wide. This was justly given the Award of Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. 
1-114 ft. $1.00. 
* PHILADELPHUS BELLE ETOILE. H5. This is considered the best of the “Syr- 
ingas” in which the flowers are blotched with purple and is also the hardiest of that 
group. Flowers, milk-white, except for the purple markings. Very fragrant. 1-114 
ft. $1.00. 
^DOUBLE ORANGE POMEGRANATE (Punica granatum var.). H4 (VIII). For 
years the old Double Red Pomegranate has been a great favorite, particularly in the 
southern parts of California as it likes heat and sunshine. This new form is a pleas¬ 
ing variation with large, fully double, bright orange colored flowers. 4-6 ft. $1.50, 
1-1% ft. 50c. 
*SYMPHORICARPOS CHENAULTI. H5 (V). This is a hybrid “Snowberry” which 
bears a showy crop of red berries and has attractive purple foliage in the fall. 2-214 
ft. $1.00. 
LILACS (Syringa). These comprise one of our most important specialties but this 
year the demand has far exceeded the supply and we are practically sold out except for 
a few large sized plants and some of the very newest. During the last three or four 
years, we have imported a complete set of Lemoine’s very latest and most expensive 
varieties. Some of these can be supplied in a very limited way this season. There are 
not enough of them to justify offering them here but we will gladly give particulars by 
correspondence to any who may be especially interested. Possibly we shall have room 
enough in “Garden Aristocrats 1939” to give Lilacs and particularly these magnificent 
new kinds the attention they deserve. 
*TRIPTERYGIUM REGELI. H5 (IV-V). The late Ernest Wilson said: “This is a 
beautiful vine with long, red-brown, prominently spotted stems, broad bright green, 
wrinkled leaves and large terminal clusters of small white flowers followed by white 
badder-like fruits which, changing in color to pinkish and brown are long retained. 
When known will become a favorite in American gardens.” Arnold Arboretum adds: 
“One of those few woody plants which can be used either as a vine or as a shrub.” 
Hardy to Boston. Gal. can 1-1% ft. $1.50.
