LANTANA GOLDRUSH 
(Plant Patent Number 1211) 
Trailing yellow—an entirely new species. Prac- 
tically all year countless clusters of the brightest yellow 
flowers cover the entire plant. The foliage, an attractive 
deep forest green, makes a most pleasing color contrast 
with the bright yellow flowers. Its trailing habit of growth 
makes it possible to use as ground cover, in planters or as a 
facing or border plant. Priced at $1.50 and $2.00 
LANTANA DELICATISSIMA 
This is the well known lavendar Lantana. It also has a 
trailing habit of growth and can be used in conjunction with 
the Gold Rush Lantana to present a beautiful contrast or by 
itself for a solid mass of color nearly all year round. Perfect 
for planter boxes. Large, blooming plants from $1.00 up.

LAWN CARE 
Your lawn should be fertilized NOW to carry it through 
the summer. Be sure to use a good grade of commercial 
fertilizer which has a high organic content. If you use a 
fertilizer which does not have a good organic content the 
rains which will come soon will leach out or melt the fer- 
tilizer and wash it away and your grass will not have the 
benefit of the food which you intended for it. The organic 
plant food will lie there and slowly feed your lawn through 
the summer. 
REMEMBER -the sun quickly evaporates water during 
the summer, so occasional rains will not suffice. When you 
water, don’t just “sprinkle,” but give your lawn enough 
water to thoroughly soak the ground. 
WATCH your lawn for attacks by insects and when you 
see the tell-tale spreading brown spots, take immediate 
action to correct the situation. 
Our SERVICE DEPARTMENT is at your disposal 
for fertilizing or spraying, should that become necessary. 
Trained personnel will see to it that you get the correct 
fertilizer, in the right amount to properly feed your lawn. 
These men are also experienced in handling insecticides 
and will apply them properly and safely.
