WEAVER'S SUPERB PYRACANTHA 
. . . J\te4AA SeaAxut! 
•Pyracantha Weaver's Superb originated as a 
cross between Pyracantha formosiana and Py¬ 
racantha crenulata yunnanensis. It fruits even 
more profusely than P. formosiana, the indi¬ 
vidual berries having long stems and being 
produced in immense masses. Berries ripen in 
October and remain on the branches until 
March. Color of berries is dark, brilliant orange- 
red. Foliage is almost as large as that of P. yun¬ 
nanensis and, like that variety, the plants seem 
to be immune to pear blight. Habit of growth is 
more upright than that of P. crenulata yunnan¬ 
ensis. Originated by A. f. Weaver, Roseville. 
Sturdy, lield grown balled plants, 3 to 4 ft., “V 
$3.00; 2 to 3 ft.. $2.50; gal. cans, $1.00. .
