best of the erect growers. We recommend it very highly. Offered for the first time 
last year. 4 ft. stems $2.00. 
WEEPING DOUBLE RED. Color of flowers is an unusually rich shade of red. All sold 
for this season but mentioned for completeness’ sake.

larger and moderately double, showing the yellow stamens. The long sprays of hand¬ 
some flowers give a delightful effect. 4 ft. stems $1.75.

DECIDUOUS TREES 
BETULA pendula youngi, YOUNG’S WEEPING BIRCH. H5 (II). Some dislike the 
rather stiff formality of the Cutleaf Weeping Birch, but are fond of its snow-white 
bark and weeping habit. To them this should strongly appeal as it has the same white 
bark but is very different in habit. In the cutleaf variety the primary branches are 
decidedly erect and only the secondary are drooping. In this all the branches droop from 
the start and in a very pleasingly irregular manner. In the nursery it has to be staked 
to make it form an erect trunk. With age it becomes a living fountain. 8-10 ft. $3.50, 
7-8 ft. $3.00, 6-7 ft. $2.50. 
LABURNUM vossi, LONGCLUSTERED GOLDENCHAIN. H5 (V). This beautiful 
tree has been mentioned in four out of the five previous issues of this booklet—and 
richly deserves that distinction. A small tree with green bark and foliage like exag¬ 
gerated clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden yellow and formed exactly like those 
of Japanese Wisteria. The hanging clusters attain as much as 18 to 20 inches in length 
and are borne very profueely in late spring. Very beautiful and even the smallest size 
will usually bloom the first year. Well worth a place in any garden. Having a large 
stock we are making unusually low prices this year. 8-10 ft. $2.50, 6-8 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft. 
$1.75, 4-5 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.25. 
*ROBINIA pseudacacia decaisneana rubra, ROSEPINK LOCUST. H5 (V). The common 
Pink Locust is of course a great favorite in California so upon hearing of a deeper 
pink form in England we imported it and now offer for the first time. If it can main¬ 
tain its deeper color in 'California sunshine, it should become popular, particularly for 
hot dry locations where Locusts do so well. 10-12 ft. $2.50, 8-10 ft. $2.00. 
SALIX babylonica annularis, RINGLEAF WILLOW. H5 (V-VI). The trunk and pri¬ 
mary branches are decidedly more erect and taller growing than the common Weeping 
Willow, but the secondary branches droop much the same. Foliage is noticeably darker 
and a better green. Its chief distinguishing feature is its odd habit of curling every 
leaf into a little ring. Both the individual and mass effect of this is quite pleasing. 
It is sometimes called Napoleon Willow. 6-8 ft. $1.00, 5-6 ft. 80c.
