Specimen Bamboo Garden Berries 
BAMBOO 
Barabusa 
The Bamboos deserve far more attention than they usually receive from 
Landscape Gardeners. Both large and small forms, they can be chosen for 
any location. Dense, plume-like foliage, entirely evergreen, makes them IDEAL 
SPECIMENS on lawns and in parks where they are generously used. Certain 
varieties make BEAUTIFUL SCREENS for hiding garages and outbuildings 
and obstructing unsightly views. The dwarf type is adapted to HEDGE 
PLANTING and should be used for property lines, separating lawns and 
flower or vegetable gardens, or for enclosing any area which is suited to hedge 
planUngs. Hardy, cheaper than fencing, evergreen and unusually beautiful, 
we heartily endorse and recommend dwarf Bamboos FOR ANY HEDGE where 
it can be two or three feet wide. 
Does not spread from suckers like ordinary reeds, common Georgia cane, 
etc., but stools from base only.

BERRIES 
Rubus 
What is nicer for the home garden than a berry patch? They have the ad¬ 
vantage of coming into bearing sooner than most fruits and certainly nothing 
is more relished than big, ripe, luscious berries. 
Blackberries, Dewberries, Youngberries, and Boysenberries are quite at home 
in the South, and nowhere are they more productive or the quality better. 
The improved cultivated varieties are offered here, and are the choicest of 
their kind. A few plants will give you a quantity of choice fruit during 
their season. 
DALLAS BLACKBERRY 
Ter. 1 to 4. A rapid grower. Long thorny vines. Never fails to produce a 
heavy crop each year. One of the most prolific bearers. Berries are large, 
luscious, sweet and juicy. 
THORNLESS DEWBERRY 
Ter. 1 to 3. A new plant, without thorns. A strong grower. Large jet black 
berries for eating fresh or canning. Excellent quality.

BOYSENBERRY 
Ter. 1 to C. The largest and most productive berry known. Berries very 
sweet and juicy. They have a mild, distinctive flavor of its own, somewhat 
suggestive of raspberry. The vines aro so heavy, they should have a three-wire

grow and bear properly.

CAMELLIA 
CAMELLIA Camellia japonica 
Probably the most sought-after shrub of the South. We have some extra 
special varieties in large specimens, but due to the character of growth and 
demand for special varieties, we can not spare space in this catalog to classify 
and grade them. We have them priced in the field, you would want to see 
the flowers, size and shape of the individual plants, growing in our Beaumont 
Balling Soil and can be transplanted safely. We cordially INVITE you to 
come and select such varieties and plants you want.
