1) 
TAMARIX

shrub. The graceful branches bear small heather- 
like leaves and deep pink flowers. Grown for 
ornamental purposes or wind breaks. Extremely 
hardy, withstands salt spray and other adverse 
conditions. Price: $1.50 per plant, $15.00 
per dozen. 
WIEGELA 
(Bristol Ruby) (Potent 492) 
Indispensable for small homes 
The originators of this variety described it as fol- 
lows: ‘A better ‘Eva Rathke’ has long been needed 
—Bristol Ruby is just that. Hardier and more vigor- 
ous, it makes a shapely thrifty plant with attractive 
rich green foliage. Color is a soft ruby-red shading 
to garnet-crimson; extremely pleasing in effect and 
without harsh tone. Attaining a height of 6 to 7 
feet at maturity, it makes a perfectly formed, well- 
rounded specimen requiring very little pruning be- 
cause it flowers well from old wood; no die-back 
or uneven growth at any time. The original is 
blooming in its twelfth year with never a miss or off 
season. Excellent reports from Vermont and other 
difficult regions fully substantiate our own estimate 
of its unusual hardiness. Bristol Ruby is definitely 
superior to Eva Rathke in every respect and cus- 
tomers are quick to note its better qualities."’ 18-24 
inches. Price: $1.50 each, $15.00 per 
dozen. 
TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS 
For many years our customers have been asking 
us to furnish them with Tuberous Rooted Begonias. 
With this idea in mind we have had one of the 
leading growers in California select some of his 
especially fine varieties of the Camellia type. We 
offer them this year for the first time in assorted 
colors. 
A light soil containing a quantity of humus is best 
for Begonias. Do not water to excess so that the 
soil goes sour, especially when they are first 
planted. When plants are in full growth, apply only 
sufficient moisture to keep from drying out at any 
time. Price: 50c per tuber, $5.00 per 
dozen.

Wiegela (Bristol Ruby) 
HYPERICUM 
Sungold (Patent 568)—A hardy, shapely, dwarf shrub which grows into 
an almost completely oval globe of 2% to 3 feet in diameter and 
about 18 to 24 inches in height, densely covered with foliage that is 
handsome throughout the summer. It bears its cymes of golden flowers 
at the end of every shoot of the summer's new growth. It flowers 
more freely and much longer than any of the Hypericum now in gen- 
eral use. Its flowers are bigger and produced in immense quantities, 
transforming this lovely plant into a small mound of gold when in full 
bloom. The average size of bloom is from 2Y% to 3 inches in diameter. 
Price: $1.50 per plant, $15.00 per dozen. 
DAPHNE (Garlandflower) 
*Cneorum—The gem of rock garden shrubs, blooming 
heavily twice in the season with clusters of Arbutus-like 
flowers, scented sweetly. 9-12 inch spread. Grow in shade 
for best results. Price: $2.00 per plant.
