NEW AZALEA "| f E 19 
(Color Picture back cover) 
Plant Patent Applied For—ES99 
ITH enthusiasm and genuine pride we 
introduce this season the new azalea that 
gives rich promise of becoming the finest of 
all time! “Life,” developed by Mr. George H. 
Buhrman of Watsonville, California, is truly 
wondertul in the great size of its buoyant pink 
blooms, and its pleasing fragrance. Each clus- 
ter bears from 8 to 34 blooms, measuring 3 to 4 
inches in diameter apiece, surpassing most 
Rhododendrons in size. The color is predomi- 
nantly pink with a deep orange touch on the 
upper lobe, and occasionally white with a 
pink rib, or creamy white. Plants have proved 
to be thrifty growers, and profuse bloomers 
during the blooming period from mid-April 
until June 15th. ‘Life’ will bloom well in al- 
most complete shade, but prefers partial 
shade for best results. In full sun, blooms are 
slightly smaller and a deeper pink. Dark 
green foliage is exceptionally attractive. Be 
among the first to plant this distinguished 
newcomer. 
Supply Limited . . . Tub 2-3 ft. $10.00 and up

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 
season is ended (about April lst) we can supply strong ‘‘Roeding’s Quality”

PER no ee plants and trees to set out in summer and fall. 
There are certain advantages to summer planting. 
The weather is more agreeable 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 
: Yy Yj its A ' 
MOL: eo Yj Y season. Types of plants grown in containers for 
gd aes G summer planting heretofore available only in the 
dormant season are: 
Uy 
Roses, fruit trees, berry plants, grapevines, decid- 
uous flowering trees, deciduous flowering shrubs, 
deciduous shade trees. 


Prices are slightly higher for plants in containers 
than for bare root stock, Of course, we always have 
tor year around planting, nursery stock that is dug 
with a ball of soil on the roots, or grown in 5-gallon 
or l-gailon containers, such as Evergreen Trees and 
Shrubs, Vines, Citrus Trees and Standard Roses.
