RARE PLANTS 

Everyone needs a vacation or recreation. How better can you restore your 
energy, Spirit and ambition than to work in your garden or rest in your home surrounded by 
beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers. 
Even when the soldier returns for a furlough or for good, he will enjoy your 
beautiful garden and will fight with renewed vigor for a home that is made more attractive 
by the use of plant material. All of the plants listed here were propagated before Pearl 
Harbor, are moStly 2-5 years old and their care in the nursery does not interfere with the 
war effort. Small plants transplant more readily than large ones and for those living a 
distance from nurseries will be far more economical. 
Why not start a small nursery of your own and by means of patience, persistence 
and affection nurture these small plants we have to offer? Within a few years for a few 
dollars you will have a priceless collection of rare and unusual garden material. Plants 
are among the few things you can buy that increase in value after you buy them. Be the only 
one in your town to possess some of these very rare plants. 
The plants we have to offer are vividly described in Hotte's Book on Shrubs 
@ $3.00 postpaid and Book on Trees at $3.50 pos tpaid. We can supply both. All plants should 
be grown in a bed for one or more years before planting in permanent place. 
For $5.00 you can select $6.00 worth of plants from this list. Prices in- 
clude packing and postal charges. AS we sell our plants at such low prices no order 
for less than $2.00 will be accepted. No broken lots will be sold. Where order calls 
for 5 for 50 cts., one will not be sold for 10 cts. 5 must be ordered. 25 sold at 100 rate. 
Please suggest one substitute per 10 items ordered. 
Owing to our careful packing with wet peat moss5§ the cost of Express and 
Parcel Post to points beyond Rocky Mountains, eliminate the profits. Therefore, please 
add 10% to remittances from these places. 
The group containing Azaleas and Rhododendrons are easy to handle if planted 
in part shade, provided either by a building or a lath screen; this should be elevated 
4' to 5' on stakes to provide free circulation of air underneath. Plant in a soil mix- 
ture containing 50% good light garden loam and 50% granulated peat moss or oak leaf mould. 
Water well after planting and mulch with leaf mould or peat moss. Do not cultivate but 
pick weeds out by pulling. Do not allow ground to get dry, but do not water too much 
or too often, there is a happy medium. These plants will all do well in part shade and 
also in sun. Cut off 75% of light for first 6 weeks and then 50%. 
AZALEAS, RHODODENDRONS AND OTHER ACID LOVING PLANTS: 
"Chinese" E. H. Wilson said, speaking of Azaleas, "They are not surpassed in 
wealth of blossom by any class of hardy shrubs. The flowers vary enormously in size in 
the different species and embrace all shades of every color except blue. In many the 
flowers are delightfully fragrant, -- small wonder the desire to possess them is so gen- 
eral. No class of shrubs possess greater attractions, and given certain essential con- 
ditions and provided the varieties are perfectly hardy their culture is fairly simple." 
A Philadelphia collection of Azaleas and Rhododendrons is visited each year 
by thousands of people who marvel at the brilliant, vivid colors and profusion of bloom, 
which is almost unbelievable, and yet for a few dollars and a bit of patience a more 
extensive range of colors and varieties is available from this list. All are transplants
