NURSERY 
CV. 
We are presenting you with our catalogue, 
hoping it will be of service to you in planning 
and planting your home grounds and gardens. 
It contains the best and most reliable planting 
mater.al in great variety in addition to which 
we grow an almost endless variety of orna- 
mental trees, shrubs and plants in our various 
nurseries closely adjacent to Houston which 
are readily available for landscape and kin- 
dred developments. 
Our Landscape Department is ever ready 
to help you with your planting problems, and 
no charges are made for consultation or pre- 
liminary sketches. 
Our many large green-houses are filled 
with a great variety of house and bedding 
plants, and visitors are welcome to visit our 
grounds and make selections or wander about 
the nursery where there is always an attractive 
display of plants and flowers. 
CHINESE HIBISCUS 
In addition to the varieties described in this catalog we 
grow a large number of other, more highly specialized plants. 
We could fill a whole catalog, for instance, describing and 
illustrating our really impressive stock of Chinese Hibiscus. 
We particularly call to your attention the Chinese Tallow Tree 
described below. Special Hibiscus list free on application. 
CHINESE TALLOW TREE 
The Chinese Tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum) was introduced into the Southern 
States from China about 40 years ago, having been sent to us from the Seed and 
Plant Division of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture for trials. Some of the origi- 
nal trees are still growing on our grounds at Bellaire cnd have attained very 
large size. 
It has proven to be one of the fastest growing and most satisfactory trees for street 
and avenue planting as well as for shade and ornamental purposes. It is re- 
markably rapid in growth and endures extreme drouth and wet ground. The 
foliage is dense and assumes the most gorgeous colorings in Autumn. It has 
become one of the most popular shade trees for the South—easily transplanted, 
long-lived, free from insects and diseases, and forms an excellent windbreak.
