Scarlet Wisteria tree 
Oakhurst Gardens 
l?r*ton /y 
Plant m full sun and do 
t cultivate m summer 
Hardy, thrifty, superior, small shrub tree that grows only five feet high 
with a spread of four feet, giving the shape of a large beach parasol, 
and has lovely blue-green foliage and beautiful large orange-red flow¬ 
ers hanging in long clusters like the Wisteria underneath the foliage. 
It is a legume and closely allied to the pea family, and is one of the 
most unusual and spectacular flowering tree shrubs we have ever had. 
Hardy anywhere in the United States. It is deciduous only in the win¬ 
ter months for a short time. It has been known to produce three crops 
of these beautiful large orange-red flower clusters in one season. We 
believe we are the only ones in the United States offering this seed. 
Fine for growing in large tubs and pots. 5 seeds 50c; 12 seeds $1.00. 
GREAT 
GOLD BANDED 
IRIS 
Blooms One Year 
From Seed 
This Iris should be 
grown more extensive¬ 
ly because it is hardy 
any place in the United 
States. The flowers last 
for a long time and the 
buds keep opening af¬ 
ter cutting. In shape 
the flower is most 
identical to the Dutch 
and Spanish Iris, only 
much larger, measuring 
5 to 6 inches across. 
The flower stocks are 
from 4 to 5 feet high. 
The foliage is sword¬ 
like and dies down dur¬ 
ing the winter. The col¬ 
or is the same as the 
Golden Daffodil. Plant 
the seeds in circles 
among your shrubbery 
and have the most 
beautiful display of Iris 
blooming from seed the 
first year. Seed supply 
limited. Pkt. 25c; Spe¬ 
cial Pkt. 75c.
