Ivys—cont. 
Helix Donerailensis. A vine of only moderate 
vigor. Its closely set leaves are about IV 2 
inches broad. They have 3 or sometimes 5 nar¬ 
row, spreading lobes. The medium green color 
becomes dull purplish bronze in winter. Al¬ 
though this variety name is cited as a syno¬ 
nym of Var. Minima Hibb, by Rehder, it seems 
best to retain it to avoid confusion with the 
suffruticose form commonly cultivated as 
“minima”. Plants 6-10 inches. 
Helix Howardii. A slender vine of medium 
growth with small, 3-lobed leaves, at most 2 
inches across. The summer color is dark green, 
dotted; marbled, or occasionally blotched with 
creamy white. The variegation, however, is 
uncertain in its appearance and may be de¬ 
pendent upon seasonal light conditions for its 
development. The plants may be a little ten¬ 
der. Plant 6 to 8 inches high. 
Helix Mrs. Pollock. A fairly vigorous, slender 
vine with small, broad leaves, furnished with 5 
or occasionally 7 short lobes. The major veins 
are rather prominent and, under certain con¬ 
ditions, the leaf margins and sometimes the 
areas between the veins become yellowish 
white, in a fashion similar to that in Var. An- 
gularis aurea. At Glendale, however, this 
change has rarely occurred. There is scarcely 
any change in winter from the medium green 
of summer. Plants 4 to 8 inches high. 
Helix Rhomboidea. A vine of slow growth with 
stiff, well-leaved stems. The typical leaf is 
entire, long ovate, distinctly cordate at the 
base, dark green with a light pattern about the 
venation. In winter the areas between the 
veins become bronzed. Plant 4 to 6 inches 
high.

very showy and are produced in drooping ra¬ 
cemes about a foot in length. A large vine in 
bloom is a beautiful sight. Our plants are 
either grafted or from cuttings off blooming 
plants and are sure to bloom. 3 year $1.00 each

white flowering form of above. 3 year $1.00 each 
New Delicious Blueberries 
For several years experts have been working 
on and improving the old-fashioned Blueberries. 
Wonderful results have been obtained. Just 
imagine the old-fashioned Blueberry or “Huckle¬ 
berry” three quarters of an inch in diameter with 
these improved varieties and the increase in the 
amount of fruit has been multiplied several times. 
Blueberries require an acid soil containing an 
abundance of peat or other partially rotted vege¬ 
table matter. They need a moderate supply of 
soil-moisture, and good drainage so that the roots 
can get air during the growing season. Space the 
plants about 3 feet apart if planted in a row. 
Setting the plants in beds 3 feet apart one way 
and 4 to 5 feet the other way has also been found 
satisfactory. 
Cabot. The earliest variety to fruit. Plants sel¬ 
dom exceed 3 feet in height, making a broad 
low bush. The leaves are comparatively slend¬ 
er and a very dark green. In winter the new 
growth is light red, over olive. Berries have a 
delicious sub-acid flavor. 
Concord. The bush is of upright habit and at 
maturity exceeds six feet in height. The young 
growth is bright red in winter. The berries are 
large, frequently reaching three-quarters of an 
inch in diameter. They usually ripen a few 
days earlier than Rubel and are fine in flavor 
and appearance. 
Jersey. The bush is of vigorous habit and grows 
very large. The winter color of the young 
growth is a light red over golden brown. The 
berries are the largest of any here listed, are 
of a very light blue color and ripen about the 
same time as Rubel. 
Rancocas. The bush of slender, vigorous, upright 
habit rarely surpasses five feet in height. The 
winter twigs are a dark red. The berries are 
somewhat larger than those of Rubel and begin 
to ripen several days earlier. 
Rubel. Well-developed bushes stand 6 feet or 
more high, vigorous and beautiful. The stems 
are slender, but sturdy, the older ones covered 
with smooth, gray bark, while the winter color 
of the young wood is a rich red. The large ber¬ 
ries are of fine blue color, Can be depended on 
for a good crop every year. Ripens about two 
weeks later than Cabot. 
Any of the above 5 varieties 2 yr. 12 to 15 
inches .75c each, 3 for $2.00, 10 for $6.00
