EASY TO PLANT “OUT-OF-SEASON™ 
It is now possible to plant almost every 
item in this catalog the year around. By 
planting our surplus supply of bare root 
stock in containers when the dormant sea- 
son is ended (about April Ist) we can sup- 
ply strong ‘‘Roeding’s Quality” plants and 
trees to set out in summer and fall. 
There are certain advantages to sum- 
mer planting. The weather is more agree- 
able for gardening and the soil is warmer; 
plants ‘take hold” quicker; you can select 
by foliage and by flower (important with 
roses if you like to buy them in bloom). The 
only disadvantage is that we may exhaust 
our supply of varieties in great demand 
during the bare root season. Types of 
plants grown in containers for summer 
planting heretofore available only in the 
dormant season, are: 
Fruit trees. 
Berry plants. 
Grapevines. 
Deciduous Flowering Trees. 
Deciduous Flowering Shrubs. 
Deciduous Shade Trees. 
Prices are slightly higher for plants in 
containers than for bare root stock. Our 
Summer Planting Folder issued in early 
April and mailed to our regular customers 
lists varieties and prices for the material 
above. Of course we always have for

the Useful Shade Tree of 
Exceptional Ornamental Beauty 
The Mediterranean Cork Oak (Quercus suber) is destined to make 
history in California. Practically unnoticed since first plantings were 
made in California 65 years ago, this beautiful and picturesque tree 
will receive widespread planting in the next decade, thanks to the 
combined efforts of University of California forestry investigators and 
manufacturers of cork products. The war has cut off usual sources 
of supply for this versatile material from Mediterranean countries and 
it has now been shown that California is a valuable potential area 
for cork production. 
No stranger is the Cork Oak to the California Nursery Company or 
to the many visitors who have observed the picturesque specimen 
tree growing in our garden at Niles. A close-up of the trunk and main 
branches of the huge tree pictured on page 23 of this book is repro- 
duced on the left, showing the layers of corky bark so useful to 
commerce. 
The California Nursery Company is proud to enlist its services in — 
the distribution of this beautiful evergreen oak throughout the state. 
It should be planted wherever space permits. Any soil condition will — 
please the Cork Oak so long as it is well drained. It thrives under = 
adversity, but will reward its owners with rapid, graceful oro ae 
when given regular attention. Use the Cork Oak as single specimens — 
where shade and dignified beauty is desired—plant along cuives ana 
roadways, 25 feet or more apart.
