Ocean Spray — 
On a trip along the west coast in 1935, Mr. Krider found 
a shrub growing along the roadside and along the drives at 
the base of Mt. Hood and even up the mountain side to the 
snowline. This shrub has the habits of the Hydrangea P. G., 
pyramidal in form, flowers of a creamy yellow, blooming in 
such profusion that the people of Oregon called it the Ocean 
Spray. It is the most graceful shrub and one of the most 
predominating colors, creamy yellow, that Mr. Krider has ever 
seen growing. He gave a contract for growing 5,000 plants 
by cuttings to one of the largest nurseries at Portland, Oregon, 
and out of the five thousand cuttings less than three hundred 
plants were developed. In 1936 a new way of propagating 
this plant was discovered by another nurseryman at Portland, 
Oregon, and at this time we have 5,000 branched plants in 
18 to 24 inches to offer the trade in blooming size. This plant 
in bloom was acclaimed by the American Association of Nurs- 
erymen at the convention at Portland, Oregon, in 1939, to be 
the outstanding shrub on the west coast. This shrub has 
proven hardy throughout all sections of the country wherever 
it has been tried in an experimental way. We offer the Ocean 
Spray in blooming size at 75¢; 3 for $2.00, while they last. 
Any customer of ours buying this shrub, or any shrub which 
we introduce, who is not satisfied at any time can always get 
the amount they paid for the new plants replaced in any other 
stock from our catalog. In other words, there is no risk in 
being the first to have this wonderful shrub in your neighbor- 
hood. A credit memo will be issued you if you are not more 
than delighted when the shrub blooms.

Just a few lines to let you know 
how well pleased I was with the 
Magnolia Soulangeana. It started

I have bought some from you

I buy Portland, and west coast

that I have never received plants 
in finer condition than those that 
came from you and seldom as 
Magnolia tree was just nice and good.
