Meyer 
Dwarf Lemon 
A Useful Dwarf 
Ornamental Plant 
The most ornamental utility 
plant offered gardeners in recent 
years. Introduced from China by 
the late Dr. Meyer of the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. Very 
dwarf habit and consistently 
covered with buds, blossoms, 
and maturing fruit. Foliage and 
fruit resemble any lemon, but 
because of its dwarf compact 
habit, may be used to excellent 
advantage for ornamental work 
such as shrub border, potted 
specimens on patios, etc. Has the largest and most 
fragrant of all citrus blooms which are pink instead 
of white. A few plants will keep a family well sup- 
plied with lemons; more juicy than the average 
lemon. Unexcelled for lemon pies. Does not freeze 
even in the most severe California frosts. In gallon 
cans, 75¢ each; 5-gallon cans, $2.50 each, f.o.b. Sac- 
ramento. 
Pyracantha, Rosedale 
A New Red-Berried Evergreen Shrub 
Most outstanding new variety of pyracantha des- 
tined for wide popularity because of heavy produc- 
tion of enormous berries and resistance to pear 
blight. Brilliant scarlet berries, borne in exception- 
ally heavy masses. Grows to a height of 6 to 8 ft., 
with branches of graceful arching form, covered 
with fine foliage through entire year. Excellent for 
background, mass effects, or foundation planting. 
In gallon cans, 65¢ each, f.o.b. Sacramento. 
Gardenia, Mystery 
One of the most highly prized of all lovely flowers 
due to exquisite perfume. Plant itself grows into a 
beautiful shrub; very easy to grow with special acid 
fertilizers such as Lago Rho-Za-Lia Food especially

enjoy lovely blooming bushes of gardenias in their 
own gardens. Flowers large and appear during

IDEAL NEW HOUSE PLANTS 
OF PROVEN MERIT

One of the sensations at the International Flower 
Show and the New York’s World Fair. Luxurious 
green foliage, carrying lighter green young plants 
at base of each leaf. Does not want full sunshine; 
does well in a north window or on a table or man- 
tel inside a room. Grown entirely for its lovely foli- 
age and pendent habit. In 4-inch pots, 50c each, 
f.o.b. Sacramento. 
HAHN’S SELF BRANCHING IVY (Hedera Hahnii). 
One of the finest miniature ivies to use as a potted 
plant and outdoors as well. Comparatively new de- 
velopment in ivy family and noteworthy because of 

Meyer Dwarf Lemon 
ability to develop many lateral branching growths 
from the main stem. Always a very full graceful 
pot plant. In 4-inch pots, 40¢ each, f.o.b. Sacramento. 
IVY, MAPLE QUEEN (Patented). 
The latest introduction from originator of famous 
Hahn’‘s Branching Ivy. Surpasses the above variety 
in quality. Similar in habit of growth, much more 
compact, and heavier branching, with leaves set 
closer together. After severe tests it has been found 
far superior to other types for keeping quality and 
growing indoors. Lovely for dainty floral arrange- 
ments. In 4-inch pots, 50¢ each, f.o.b. Sacramento.

bright yellow flowers 414 in. and more across. An 
improvement over Sunshine or Chrysantha.

contrasting colors, free flowering habit. 
STOCKS, Giants of California, Fanzy Mixed. An 
exquisite new strain of stocks, being an im- 
provement over the widely used Giant Imperial 
or Bismarck strain. Surpass the latter strain in 
their extra strong growth, long stem length, 
and vivid colors. 
SCABIOSA, Giant Hybrids Mixed. Long stems, pleas- 
ing colors, and prolific flowering habit, make 
scabiosa valuable in the spring garden. Our mix-

ilar color, the whole resembling a cup and saucer.

est strain of hybrid delphinium, leading all others

usually strong vigorous growth. Enormous spikes 
3 to 5 feet long with large flowers richly spotted 
in the throat.

English origin; extra large flowers, long stems.
