NEW AZALEA “Li Fe FE” 
———— 
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 
wonderful 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

BEFORE YOU ORDER... Use this Book to 
PLAN YOUR GARDEN 
HIS book is arranged to help you plan a new garden or re- 
vamp an old one. First, we suggest that you make a rough 
sketch to scale of the area to be landscaped. Mark the positions 
of the shrubs and trees to be planted. Second, read the descrip- 
tions on the following pages and select varieties appealing to 
you suitable for each location, noting their names on your plan. 
Third, order by mail as many as you can conveniently plant on 
a week-end, or take your list to our nearest garden store (see 
page 26) and make a personal selection. Benefit by our prac- 
tical prices. 
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 Ist) we can supply strong “Roeding’s Quality” 
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 
season. Types of plants grown in containers for 
summer planting heretofore available only in the 
dormant season are: 

PLANTS FOR SHADY LOCATIONS—Page 22 
Roses, fruit trees, berry plants, grapevines, decid- 
uous flowering trees, deciduous flowering shrubs, 

Shade Trees . - + 
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 1-gallon containers, such as Evergreen Trees and 
Shrubs, Vines, Citrus Trees and Standard Roses.
