English literature 
abounds in legends and 
mention of the rose, 
“The War of the Roses,” 
one of the greatest mili- 
tary struggles of Eng- 
lish history, was so 
called because the con- 
tending parties had as 
their emblems’ white 
roses for the House of 
York and red roses for 
the House of Lancaster. 
* 
It is said that the 
only two trees indigenous 
to North America and 
found in no other parts 
of the world were the 
Pecan of Texas and the 
Southwest, and the giant 
Redwood of the West 
Coast. 
* 
The apple is probably 
the most important fruit 
in North America, and 
probably the most impor- 
tant tree in the entire 
North Temperate Zone. 
* 
What shrubs are adapt- 
ed for the shady side of 
the house? Red Tarta- 
rian Honeysuckle; Maho- 
nia; Snowberry; Coral 
Berry; Weigela rosea; 
Hypericum or Goldflower; 
Abelia grandiflora. 
The redbud and flower- 
ing dogwood trees are 
well adapted to growing 
in shady places. 
* 
“No tree in all the 
grove but has _ its 
charms, though each its 
hue peculiar.””—Cowper.

Houses may be built 
of wood or stone, but 
only love can make a 
home. 
* 
Greek mythology attrib- 
utes ‘the origin of the 
rose to several of the 
Olympian deities.

An Announcement 
We are proud to announce that we have arranged 
to propagate and catalog all the many fine varieties 
of plants that have resulted from the life work of 
Mr. J. A. Evans. For several years we have been 
offering a number of his fine peaches, described else- 
where in this catalog, and we will soon be able to 
offer a complete list of his remarkable collection of 
unusual fruits and nuts. 
Mr. Evans was for a number of years Horticulturist 
for the Extension Division of the Texas A. & M. 
College, and is so well known that comment about 
the high quality of his plants is not needed. Descrip- 
tions will be given in our future catalogs as fast as 
we can propagate a sufficient number of plants. A 
few of these good and unusual items for our future 
catalogs will be:- 
IDEAL, NUGGET, EVANS and other pecans. 
A JUMBO ENGLISH WALNUT. 
Two new grapes of outstanding merit. 
The “Spong” Apricot.

The photograph above shows Mr. Evans inspecting 
one of his Stephenson peach trees loaded with a 
heavy crop of magnificent fruits. 
The illustration to the

healthy, vigorous Gray- 
way VPapershell Pecan 
trees growing in our nur- 
sery. We are proud of 
these fine trees. 
Visitors are always 
welcome at the nursery. 
They often compliment 
us upon the well-kept 
appearance of our fields.
