New Items 
In addition to our regular lines we are continually 
developing or introducing additional novelties and spe- 
cialties. These are the things that are always in demand, 
hence this list is well worth very careful study if you 
take interest in trees and shrubs which are out of the 
ordinary. 
During the last 20 years we have doubtless imported 
the greatest assortment of new and rare woody plants 
brought into the country during that period. Evidence 
that our efforts have been successful is that in 1945 Mr. 
W. B. Clarke was awarded the Jackson Dawson Mem- 
orial Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society “for making many valuable new woody plants 
available for American gardens.” 
PLANT BREEDING 
Our plant breeding program of the last 20 years cov- 
ering various woody ornamentals, mainly Lilacs, Flower- 
ing Quinces and Flowering Fruit Trees has been a slow 
process but results have amply justified the time de- 
_ voted to it. A number of Awards of Merit have been 
received from horticultural organizations in both the 
United States and Europe. 
Several items originated by us have been introduced 
on an exclusive basis by certain first*class catalog houses 
who wish “leaders” of high quality. We have several 
Lilacs and Flowering Quinces ready for introduction 
which can be patented if desired and we shall be glad 
to explain this arrangement on request, 
PINTO TAG 
We take pride in announcing that we are now a 
“Pinto Tag” nursery, stipulating that our stock is free 
of disease and pests and enabling us to ship into nearly 
all California Counties with no point of destination in- 
spection required. In those few counties requiring in- 
spection by County Agricultural Commissioners, ship- 
ments are made under the Blue Tag, same as in the past. 
DESCRIPTIONS 
Short descriptions have been included in this list for 
the benefit of customers who are not acquainted with 
our stock. Where further information may be desired 
it will be given promptly on request, if available.
