PLANTS TO GIVE YOUR GARDEN EXCITING NEW BEAUTY (Contd) 
Scarlet Wisteria Tree 
CHINESE PLUMBAGO 
(Ceratostigma Willmotiiana) 
A marvelous deep blue flowered small 
shrub 
Planted in a sunny spot in your garden 
recently introduced from China. 
there will not be a day from the middle of 
May until December that the plant is not 
well covered with the sweetest bright blue 
flowers imaginable. Grows about 3 feet 
tall, and is extremely hardy. In gallon 
cans, 75c each, f.0.b. Sacramento. 

MEYER 
DWARF LEMON 
A useful dwarf orna- 
mental plant. 
The most ornamental 
utility plant offered gar- 
deners 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 ad- 
vantage for ornamental 
work such as shrub bor- 
der, potted specimens 
on patios, etc. Has the 
largest and most fra- 
grant of all citrus blooms 
which are pink instead 
of white. A few plants 
will keep a family well 
supplied with lemons— 
more juicy than the av- 
erage lemon. Unex- 
celled for lemon pies. 
Does not freeze even in 
the most severe Califor- 
nia frosts. In gallon cans, 75¢ each; 5-gal- 
lon cans, $2.75 each, f.0.b. Sacramento. 
SCARLET WISTERIA TREE 
(Daubentonia tripetti) 
A most ornamental small tree which is 
simply loaded all summer with orange- 
scarlet pea-shaped flowers in large clus- 
ters. Stands any amount of heat. Blooms 
the first year. Deciduous. One of the most 
picturesque little trees imaginable. In gal- 
lon cans, $1.00 each, f.o.b. Sacramento. 
PYRACANTHA, ROSEDALE 
A new red-berried evergreen shrub. 
Most outstanding new variety of pyracan- 
tha destined for wide popularity because 
of heavy production of enormous berries 
and resistance to pear blight. Brilliant 
scarlet berries, borne in exceptionally 
heavy masses. Grows to a height of 6 to 8 
feet, with branches of graceful arching 
form, covered with fine foliage throughout 
entire year. Excellent for background, 
mass effects, or foundation planting. In 
gallon cans, 75¢ each, f.o.b. Sacramento. 
LONG-CLUSTERED GOLDEN- 
CHAIN TREE 
(Laburnum vossi) (New deciduous tree) 
The most significantly worthwhile tree in- 
troduced during the past 25 years’’—so 
concludes an eminent horticulturist in dis- 
cussing this new introduction. A lovely 
small tree-like shrub of moderate size bear- 
ing exquisite golden yellow flowers which 
hang in grand long wisteria-like clusters 
to as much as 18 inches in length. A most 
profuse bloomer. Shrubs 5 to 6 feet tall 
(1 year old), $2.00 each, f.0.b. Sacramento. 
THE NEW ROBERTSON NAVEL 
ORANGE 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 126) 
The finest winter ripening orange for Cali- 
fornia. Young trees two and three years 
old are loaded down with fru't, bearing 
two or three times as much as trees of the 
Washington Navel of the same age, and it 
continues to far outbear that variety after 
the trees are mature. The Robertson Navel 
ripens its fruits two to three weeks before 
the Washington Navel and in our Valley 
sections here is sweet, colored, and ready 
to pick the first week of November, avoid- 
ing dangers of heavy frosts. The flavor 
and quality are equal to the finest Wash- 
ington Navel, making it the best eating 
orange in the world. l-year-old trees, $2.75 
each, f.o.b. Sacramento.
