MORE EACH YEAR 
When we get established at our 
new and larger acreage, with ex- 
panded growing facilities, a larger 
number of NEW and RARE plants 
will soon be ready each year. We 
have seeds of many that have 
never been in the U. S. before. We 
also hope to do more hybridizing— 
to produce new and improved va- 
rieties of plants. 
NEW PLANTS we hope to have SOON. 
A bamboo that stands ice and snow. 
A DWARF willow 2 to 4 inches tall. 
A 50 ft. fern that stands some frost. 
A plant that grows "honey" without bees. 
CHINESE JUNIPER 
Juniperus chinensis Var. torulosa 
The rarest and most picturesque variety of 
this small hardy evergreen Chinese tree. 
Grows naturally in twisted shape. Slow- 
growing, may reach 40 feet in many years. 
Foliage light green, more open than most 
junipers. Makes a beautiful specimen tree. 
Smaller sizes are very fine for dwarfing— 
easy to get the distorted twisted shape so 
popular. Hardy in most states. Zones 4 to 10. 
SIZES—1, 2,3, 4. PRICES—B. 
HINOKI CYPRESS 
Chamaecyparis obtusa Var. compacta 
This Japanese tree is probably the most 
beautiful of its genus. Slow-growing—may 
reach 120 feet when centuries old. Pyra- 
midal, compact, with horizontal branches 
and pendulous branchlets. The foliage is 
dense, flattened and frond-like, dark glossy 
green. Japan has huge, ancient Hinoki Cy- 
presses—and it is also a favorite subject for 
Bonsai, making beautiful potted dwarfs. 
Zones 3 to 10. SIZES—1, 2, 3,4. PRICES—B. 
BLUE & WHITE LUPINES 
LUPINUS BI-COLOR 
In late Spring, miles of massed lupines 
turn the green hills near San Francisco fo 
amethystine blue. Like small blue and 
white sweet peas, they are an annual, 6 to 
12 inches tall. Neat leaves have 5 to 7 
leaflets, in palmate arrangement. After 
pollination, the white center of the flowers 
turns wine-colored. 
Next Spring, we intend to plant a solid bed 
of California orange poppies, with a border 
of these lupines. YOU could do the seme. 
(Specially selected California poppy seed, 
same price as lupine seed. 
SEED of annual lupines--$.50 per pkg.
