MARSH’S NURSERY 


FYRACANTHA DUVALI 
PYRACANTHA 
Christmas season our eyes center on all red berries. Every kind 
on the market is being advertised and shown. Out of these, we 
prefer Pyracantha Duvali. 
We have grown this variety and shown it here in Pasadena for 
the past ten years. We do not claim this to be the darkest berry, 
but it is the best RED berry and never fails to catch the eye. It is 
the biggest clustering berry—it has resisted all diseases. 
It is not a berry birds will not eat. However, we have yet to find 
one that will not attract birds. But there is a distinction among ber- 
ries. Pyracantha Duvali, although red, is not ripe until after 
Christmas. Being sour, the birds will not touch the berries until 
after Christmas, when they are ripened. 
Beautiful plants in gallon cans—loaded with berries—at $1.50; 
5-gal., $3.50. We ship express collect. 
For delivery of well berried plants for the Christmas season be 
sure to place your order well before December 1. Shipping weight: 
gal. 12 lbs. Although we will use every effort to pack “‘berried’’ 
plants for safe shipment, we cannot guarantee safe arrival at des- 
tination.
