NEW ITEMS 
During the last 10 or 11 years we have doubtless imported 
the greatest assortment of new and rare woody plants 
brought into the country during that period. - 
Also. we have been working pretty hard at plant breeding 
with fairly encouraging results. 
As rapidly as possible we are dropping all common lines 
and concentrating on novelties and specialties, 
Hence this list is well worth very careful study if you take 
interest in trees and shrubs which are out of the ordinary. 
EXPLANATION OF 
HARDINESS RATINGS 
As this list goes all over the U.S.A. (and abroad in peace- 
ful times), we believe it will be a good idea to indicate hardi- 
ness, This has been done by giving after the name of each 
item a number in ( ) indicating the zone up to which it is 
considered hardy. | 
Our authority through Zone 7 is the second edition of 
Rehder’s Handbook. For Zones 8 to 10 we have been guided 
Ae Pacific Coast experience and have sub-divided Zone 9 so 
that 
(9) indicates probably safe to 20° (Sacramento and San 
Joaquin Valleys, etc.) 
(914) indicates probably safe to 25° or 26° (San Fran- 
cisco Bay Region, etc.) 
(10) indicates will stand only very light frost. 
To find the zone you are in refer to map on center pages 
of this book which we use by the courtesy of Arnold Ar- 
boretum and McGraw-Hill Book Co. 
Please understand that all ratings show our honest opinion 
but we disclaim all responsibility for their correctness. 
We hope this innovation will be helpful to nurserymen 
all over the country. 
ABBREVIATIONS— 
It is important for buyers to know whether they are get- 
ting seedlings or cuttings, etc., so we have shown how every 
item was propagated using the following abbreviations: 
—budded G—grafted 
C—cuttings S—seedlings 
A. M. R. H. .S.—Given an Award. of

LINING OUT STOCK— 
For your convenience we have assembled this material 
on pages 46-48. We include many new things so that list is 
well worth studying carefully. : 
POT GROWN STOCK— 
We find that many customers, especially at a distance, 
prefer to have us remove soil and ship “bare roots’. If you 
want this done please be sure to say so. We will then pack 
roots carefully in damp moss. 
Please note carefully further information includ-— 
ing terms of sale and special notice to eastern nur- 
serymen on inside of back cover. : :
