ception of the white Single Giant of California Aster! Imag¬

Garden Pink (Dianthus)
DIANTHUS
AELWOODI (New Perpetual-Flowering Hardy Pinks)—Outsupply of seed of this beautiful strain of Hardy Pinks comes
to us direct from England. This is a new hybrid between
Carnation and Pink, extremely floriferous, about 75% double.
Delicious clove-scented flowers in many colors.
They are
perfectly hardy and flower continuously from Spring until
late in Autumn. 50c pkt., postpaid.
ROCK HYBRIDS (Dwarf Hybrid Pinks)—We believe this im¬
ported selection of selected Hybrid Dianthus especially
adapted for Rock Gardens will meet a demand on the part
of the Rock Gardener who does not wish to purchase separate
packets of the many varieties of Dianthus available. In it
are contained all of the choicest varieties in a special blend
to give the widest possible assortment. 25c per pkt., post¬
paid.
DIMORPHOTHECA
(African Daisy)
AURANTIACA (African Golden Orange Daisy)—(Annual) —
This half-hardy annual of neat branching habit grows 12 to
15 inches high, and is exceedingly profuse in flowering. The
Marguerite-like blossoms are a rich, glossy orange-gold and
measure 21/2 inches in diameter. Sow in boxes to transplant
from February to May. Large pkt. 10c;
oz. 40c, postpaid.
RINGENS—This is a very fine form of Dimorphotheca intro¬
duced from South Africa.
It has much the same habit of
Aurantiaca, only a little more dwarf but more free flowering.
The flowers are large, pure white inside, with a blue ring
around the center or eye of the flower. Pkt. 25c, postpaid.
GUINEA BEAN
Makes Handsome
Arbor
Delicious Also as
Food
The Guinea Bean is used
by the Italians the same as
Italian Squash.
Pick the
beans when about the size of
a cucumber and cook like
Summer Squash. One vine
will provide enough beans
for a family of eight.
If allowed to grow for or¬
namental purposes, the bean
will attain a length of 4 to
5 feet.
Very rapid growing, aver¬
aging 50 to 75 feet in a sin¬
gle season.
Guinea Bean
Pkt. 10c, postpaid.
“‘Orange Queen,” an English Novelty
This very fine English novelty is a new shade of Geum, inter¬
mediate between that of Mrs. Bradshaw and Lady Stratheden,
a bright orange-scarlet, and one which we believe will share
the popularity of these two fine varieties. The plants are of
similar habit to both these sorts, and are quite as large and
free blooming. 25c pkt., postpaid.
IBERIS
(Hardy Candytuft)
GIBRALTARICA HYBRIDA — A dwarf evergreen variety,
growing from 6 to 10 inches high, covered with blooms in
Spring and early Summer.
Excellent for rockeries or bor¬
ders where bright dwarf masses are wanted. Imported seed,
15c pkt., postpaid.
LARKSPUR
The New “Los Angeles” Variety
Type of growth similar to the La France. The foliage is a
darker green, making the large rich salmon (overlaid with
rose) flowers stand out more prominently. Pkt. 35c, postpaid.
LINARIA
DALMATICA — A very
striking perennial with
clusters of golden-yellow
flowers resembling Snap¬
dragons. Spikes 18 to 20
inches in length. A very
valuable addition to the
perennial garden.
Pkt.
25c, postpaid.
MAROCCANA HYBRIDA
MIXED—Very desirable
for edgings and rocker¬
ies as it only grows
about 9 inches high.
It
comes in a variety of
colors: Blue, purple, red,
white, primrose, pink
and lavender. Exception¬
ally meritorious as a
ground cover around
Tulips or Lilies.
Pkt.
25c, postpaid.
MECONOPSIS BAILEYII
New Blue Perennial Poppy
One of the finest introductions of recent years, new, and dis¬
tinct from any perennial Poppy heretofore known. This beau¬
tiful new blue perennial Poppy brought over from Tibet,
throws up from its root-stock half a dozen leafy stems, 2 to 3
feet high, well furnished with broad sea-green leaves and bear¬
ing freely at their heads, large four-petaled blooms of a glor¬
ious Sky Blue color. This superb plant won a First Class Cer¬
tificate and an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural
Society.
It is hardy and will soon become one of the most
popular plants in cultivation.
It thrives in a deep loam and
leaf soil in a moist, well drained, half shady position. We are
certain this distinct novelty, so different in color from Poppies
with which we are familiar, will win the instant approval of
(hose who seek the finer things in plant life. Imported seeds,
50c pkt., postpaid.
MYOSOTIS
(Forget-Me-Not)
ISOLDE XH.OTZ—This improved named variety of the Belgian
National Flower is extra large flowered, of dwarf habit and
beautiful dark blue color. It is considered among the best
Spring flowers and is well adapted to partially shaded spots
under tall growing trees, transforming patches into a sea of
blue.
When grouped with Pansies and Daisies makes the
most lovely combination imaginable. 25c pkt., postpaid.

Vegetables picked from your own garden ARE better, there's
no use denying it! Green peas tender and sweet! Green corn
picked at the right stage of plumpness and tenderness! String
beans, and summer squash, crisp lettuce, and beets that melt in
your mouth. Vegetables picked from your garden and served
the same day!
But that’s not all! There’s a lot of real pleasure in a bit of
light garden work—in growing with your own hands those
things that you serve on your table! And on top of it all, what
a saving of money there is! A backyard garden saves dollars
and dollars during the year.

April and July to October. Use plenty of
moisture, but not too much, as this
causes rot.

inch deep; transplant when about 6
inches tall; rows 30 inches apart, with
plants 24 inches apart.

Lettuce seed should be covered very lightly to obtain ger¬
mination. As soon as the plants are well started transplant
them to rows 18 to 24 inches apart, and 6 to 12 inches apart
in the row. In California and in most localities lettuce seed
may be planted any month in the year. For best results, plant

Navlet’s “San Jose Canner” Tomato
EARLIEST OF ALL
PLANT TOMATOES
FROM FEBRUARY TO MAY
A GREAT TOMATO FAVORITE
Chas. C. Navlet Co.’s Earliest of All is not only the earliest
of all Tomatoes, but is beyond question one of the largest, fin¬
est, most productive, finest looking, best keeping and choicest
all-round Tomatoes in the world.
The fruits are invariably of immense size and a good, splen¬
did Tomato, producing right through to the frosts.
Always
smooth, of firm, solid flesh, and a deep, attractive red in color.
It is deliciously flavored and is unsurpassed for salad or slic¬
ing.
As a Canning Tomato the Earliest of All has few equals and
on account of its firmness it is an excellent shipper.
We grow the seeds on our own farms—and seed is taken
only from the largest and finest shaped fruits. To make sure
of getting the genuine Chas. C. Navlet Co.’s Earliest of All
Seeds order direct from us. Pkt. 20c; oz. 75c; V4 lb. $2.50; 1 lb.
$7.50.
BONNY BEST
An early productive variety, being 10 days earlier than
Chalk’s Early Jewel. The fruit is round and of a light scarlet
color. Very productive and of fine quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c;
V4 lb. $1.65; 1 lb. $5.00.
EARLIANA
“A Very Early Tomato”—This Tomato is not only extremely
early but of particularly fine quality, which is very rare in an
early Tomato.
The flesh is remarkably, solid and it has few
seeds. It has the habit peculiar to many early sorts of setting
the bulk of its fruit close to the center of the plant, so that
they are exposed to the sun and thus ripen early. These quali¬
ties make it particularly useful for a first crop variety. Pkt.
10c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.65; 1 lb. $5.00.
Where early plants are desired, sow early in the season
in hotbeds or boxes, and plant out in the garden as soon
as danger from frost is over. An ounce of seed will give
4,000 plants. Tomatoes ripen about 150 days after the
seed is sown.
PONDEROSA
A Tomato of Superior Quality—It is massive in size, pon¬
derous in weight, perfect in shape, smooth as glass, solid and
meaty as beefsteak, prodigiously prolific and succeeds every¬
where. It is free from watery cavities—almost seedless—and
ripens thoroughly from center to skin, its glowing crimson
color permeating the flesh to the heart.
Toothsome and rich
when sliced—savory and delicious when canned.
Unaffected
by drought and does not blight or rot.
First ripe fruits are
often picked in 10 weeks from seed sowing, while late fruits
may be gathered until frost. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00; 14 lb. $3.00; 1
lb. $6.50.
RED PEAR SHAPED
A Very Popular Preserving Tomato—As the name implies,
the fruit is shaped like a pear—small at the stem and enlarged
at the top. It is small, about 2 or 3 inches long. It is bright
scarlet, is of fine flavor, and makes delicious preserves or sal¬
ads. Pkt. 10c; oz. 75c.
STONE
The Best of Its Type in Every Respect—It ripens evenly to
the stem without a crack, and is not subject to rot. Vine vig¬
orous and very productive.
Fruit round, apple-shaped, very
large, very deep red in color and astonishingly heavy.
Our
stock is distinctly superior to most of that offered under this
name, being more uniform, better colored and larger. Pkt. 10c;
oz. 50c;
lb. $1.50; 1 lb. $3.50.
GOLDEN QUEEN
TROPHY
“Finest of the Large Yellow Tomatoes”—The superior flavor
of the yellow varieties is bringing them into favor as table
fruit, and those who think of a Yellow Tomato as a rough
fruit of the old yellow sort will be surprised at this smooth,
beautiful fruit, which, though large, is as smooth and well¬
shaped as the best of the red varieties, and of a fine and dis¬
tinct flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.65; 1 lb. $5.00.
A Large and Delicious Tomato—The Trophy was the first of
the modern improved Tomatoes. It was of superior color, size
and solidity, but lacked smoothness and regularity. By most
careful breeding and selection, an improved strain has been
developed, and the Trophy now combines all its original good
qualities with smoothness, regularity and symmetry of fruit.
Vine strong-growing, vigorous and productive. Fruit very
large, very solid, fine flavored and a beautiful deep, rich red in
color. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c;
lb. $1.15; 1 lb. $3.50.
GROUND CHERRY, or HUSK
Grows like a Tomato; fruits like a Tomato, but the small
fruit is enveloped within a husk. It is good for preserves. Pkt.
10c; oz. 75c, postpaid.
YELLOW PEAR SHAPED
Small Fruited Golden Yellow variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 75c.
We pay Postage to 4th Zone on Seeds in pkt., oz.,

SINCE 1885
VELVETY GREEN LAWN/
PLANT NAVLET’S SUPERB LAWN GRASS SEED
RED, or CREEPING FESCUE (Pestuca rubra var. genuiua)—
A creeping rooted variety imported in limited quantities
from Europe.
It quickly forms a lasting, dark green, fine
leaved, close sod and is therefore ideal for lawns. This grass
is described as producing the most beautiful of all lawns
throughout the year. Forms an extensive matted root sys¬
tem which adapts it well to embankments and terraces. Suc¬
ceeds in light and sandy soils and can stand both exposure
and shade.
This must not be confused with the common
Red Fescue often offered at a much lower price. 1 lb. $2.50;
10 lbs. $24.00, postpaid.
There are many advantages of well-blended mixtures for
special and general use. The principal reason for such blends
is the fact that each grass lives, to a great extent, on different
constituents. The season that would completely check the
growth of one variety of grass will act as an encouragement
to some other variety, so that the complete failure of a mixture
is practically impossible.
If you will let us know your soil conditions and exposure of
your contemplated lawn or lawns, we shall be glad to advise
you as to what we consider the best lawn grass or lawn grass
mixture so that you may have the best lawn possible. A glar¬
ing error is made in selecting lawn grass seed on a basis of
price, because of the fact that there is a wide variance in the
number of seed grains to the pound, giving proportionately
more or less coverage to the pound. And further, the cost of
good seed per hundred square feet is negligible a's compared
with the cost of putting in a lawn and the care over a period
of years.
RED TOP (Agrostis Alba)—Gives a quick growth and suc¬
ceeds on all soils, doing best on moist soils. Used in blends
with other grasses. 1 lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50, postpaid.
ROUGH STALKED MEADOW (Poa Trivialis)—A very fine
lawn grass, especially valuable as an ingredient in shady
lawn mixtures, as it excels other grasses in the shade. It is
a spreading species with narrow, flat, dark green leaves. It
is very much like Kentucky Blue Grass, to which it is re¬
lated, but starts quicker and spreads faster.
1 lb. 90c; 10
lbs. $8.50, postpaid.
RYE, AUSTRALIAN (Lolium Ferenne)—An extremely hardy
sort requiring less fertile soil and withstanding hardships.
Comes up very quickly and recovers quickly when cut.
Is
used mostly where quick results are desired. 1 lb. 30c; 10
lbs. $2.50, postpaid.
BEKT, BHODE ISLAND (Agrostis Tenuis) — Makes a fine
close-knit lawn of splendid color. Can well be blended into
mixed lawns as it stands wear well and is often used on golf
courses. Has not the creeping habit of Seaside and Golf-ALawn Bents. Like the other Bent Grasses, thrives best on
medium type soil, slightly acid, and is injured by applica¬
tions of lime. 1 lb. $2.25; 10 lbs. $21.50, postpaid.
RYE, PACEY’S PACIFIC RYE (Lolium Pereime)—Valuable in
lawns as a nurse grass and where quick results are desired.
Leaves narrow, flat and smooth, the under side being glossy.
Is also known in the Bay District as Pacific Rye.
It is a
short seeded type, more desirable than Australian Rye. 1 lb.
35c; 10 lbs. $3.00, postpaid.
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium Repens)—Of dwarf habit, mak¬
ing an excellent turf that stands constant tramping. Used
considerably in mixtures as a nurse crop as it germinates
rapidly. 1 lb. 75c; 10 lbs. $7.00, postpaid.
MIXTURES WE RECOMMEND
A-l SPECIAL MIXTURE—In this mixture we are able to offer
a combination of grasses containing no coarse leaved or bunch
grasses, mostly of imported stock, all fine leaved, long lived,
of fine texture and rich green color. There is a portion of
Bent Grass in this mixture. There is no Rye or similar short¬
lived coarse grasses in it. For those who wish a permanent
fine lawn we offer this as the best and most carefully blended
it is possible to obtain. 1 lb. $1.35; 10 lbs. $12.50, postpaid.
NAVLET’S
EMERALD
GREEN MIXTURE—A
carefully
blended mixture of the permanent fine leaved deep green
grasses without Clover or Bent; will remain green the year
round. Will stand both a sunny and partially shaded situa¬
tion. 1 lb. 75c; 10 lbs. $7.00, postpaid.
Well-Kept Lawns Set Off the Finest Homes
BENT, SEASIDE (Agrostis Stolinifera Maritima)—Often re¬
ferred to as Coos County Bent, Cocoos Bent. A true creep¬
ing Bent, stoloniferous in habit.
Our seed is hand-har¬
vested with great care and runs over 9 5% in purity. Once
established it spreads rapidly and forms a dense and per¬
manent turf which improves with age.
This Bent is used
where an unmixed Bent Lawn is desired. 1 lb. $2.50; 10 lbs.
$24.00, postpaid.
GOLDEN GATE MIXTURE—A popular mixture of hardy
grasses with a little Clover, which grows quickly and stands
considerable abuse. Thrives in light soils. 1 lb. 40c; 10 lbs.
$3.75, postpaid.
PANAMA-PACIFIC
LAWN
GRASS — Our
own
carefully
blended mixture with Clover of varieties which produce a
thick, velvety turf, permanent and hardy in most soils. This
mixture is one of our best sellers and has proven extremely
satisfactory. 1 lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.75, postpaid.
BENT, GOLF-A-LAWN (Agrostis Stolinifera Astoriana)—This
strain has a wider range of adaptability and will succeed
quite well on soils too light for Seaside Strain, doing best on
heavier acid type soils. The seed is certified and of highest
purity, especially selected for Putting Greens, Athletic Field
Mixtures, and for lawns subject to rough usage. 1 lb. $2.50;
10 lbs. $24.00, postpaid.
SHADY LAWN GRASS—This is a special blend of shade-lov¬
ing grasses for lawns facing the north without much sun¬
shine and for shady spots under trees and places where there
is little direct sunlight. It will quickly produce an abundant
and even growth of deep beautiful green grass. 1 lb. 75c; 10
lbs. $7.00, postpaid.
BLUE GRASS, KENTUCKY (Poa Pratensis)—Produces a firm,
deep, velvety, elastic turf of beautiful Emerald Green, thriv¬
ing in open sunny situations away from Summer fogs.
It
roots deeply, forming- a permanent lawn on heavy soils. As
i.t is rather slow in establishing itself, a mixture with Clover
or with fine bladed grasses that are faster growing is usually
recommended. 1 lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.50, postpaid.
BLUE GRASS, GOLD SEAL (Poa Pratensis)—The same seed
as described above, but especially selected and triple-cleaned
to provide as near a perfectly pure product as is humanly
possible. All of the lighter grains are thus removed and the
coverage per pound increased. 1 lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $3.50, post¬
paid.
LIPPIA
This creeping lawn plant solves the problem of main¬
taining a beautiful lawn through the dry California
Summer. Requires little or no water. Resembles Clover
in appearance.
Comes in slabs, enough, to plant 100
square feet (plants one foot apart).
$1.25 per slab,
shipped at purchaser’s expense.
CHF.WINGS PESCUE (Pestuca rubra var. fallax)—A small,
hardy, low-growing grass producing very fine dark green
leaves which rarely exceed six inches in height and in grow¬
ing has a dense turf-forming habit. A special point in its
favor is its durability on the poorer types of gravelly and
sandy soils. It is a permanent grass and its turf improves
with age. 1 lb. 75c; 10 lbs. $7.00, postpaid.

Our Bargain this year will be all Bush varieties, un¬
less a number of Climbers is asked for. All are strong,
two-year-old, field-grown bushes, our selection.
Un¬
labeled.
BETTY UPBICHABD—(H. T.)—Buds
are coppery red and as
the flowers open the outside of the petals are orange carmine,
inside a delicate salmon pink, flowers semi-double and very
fragrant.
The colors are sufficient reason why this Rose
should be in every garden.
DIADEM—(H. T.)—A
large, fragrant double flower of copper
orange, tinted salmon and flame pink. Foliage good. A good
variety for cutting.
GOLDEN EMBLEM—(H. T.)—A
most beautiful clear yellow,
occasionally flaked with crimson on the outer petals, wonder¬
fully well-shaped buds and flowers on long stems, with rich
glossy green foliage. Altogether the most striking, as well as
the most remarkable variety among modern Roses. Awarded
the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society. Also the Amer¬
ican Rose Society’s Medal at Philadelphia for the best New
Rose not yet in commerce.
GOLDEN OPHELIA—(H. T.) —The
flower is of medium size,
golden yellow in the center, paling slightly toward the outer
petals; of perfect form.
HADLEY—(H. T.)—Of
all the wonderful red Roses introduced
in recent years, none can compare with the Hadley.
This
matchless Rose is a strong, rapid grower and a most profuse
bloomer. The deep velvety-crimson flowers are very double
and very fragrant. Begins to flower early in the Spring. Al¬
most all florists have adopted the Hadley as their leading
crimson Rose. It brings the highest market price every¬
where.
T.) —Intense rich scarlet-crimson.
Gorgeous large size flower, carried on rigid, steady stems,
with ideal foliage. A vigorous, strong grower.
HENBY V. MACHIN—(H.
BEAUTY—(H. T.)—A dark rich velvety crimson.
Flowers double and pointed. Long stems. Heavy bloomer.
Produces long stems. Sweetly scented.
HOOSIEB
INDEPENDENCE DAY—(II. T.)—-This
year add Independence
Day to your rose garden! This loveliest of hybrid tea roses
blooms almost perpetually. Buds are sunflower yellow over¬
laid with orange apricot, with colors blending as the bud de¬
velops into full bloom. Buds are a graceful oval shape and
flowers are well formed. Foliage is a glossy, dark green.
LOS ANGELES— (H. T.)
—A Wonderful Bose—By all odds,
one of the finest Roses ever introduced. The growth is very
vigorous, and produces a continuous succession of long¬
stemmed flowers of a luminous, flame-pink toned with, coral
and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the petals.
In richness of fragrance it equals the finest Marechal Neil.
The buds are long and pointed, and expand into a flower of
mammoth proportions, while the beauty of form and ever-in¬
creasing wealth of color is maintained from the incipient bud
until the last petal drops.

first, a nearly solid canary yellow to flat distended petals,
each broadly banded and suffused with carmine pink.
(Hybrid Tea)—There is a charm of coloring in this
Rose, being a brilliant coppery-red flushed with yellow at the
base. It is not only a strong upright grower but is exceed¬
ingly free flowering. One of the most novel bedding Roses of
recent introduction.
PADRE

The flowers are glorious and immense in size, produced with
freedom on long, stiff stems.
The bud is egg-shaped, long

very charming Rose, its color is really hard to describe.

sometimes a faint tinge suggesting pale blush. It has the
same freedom of bloom, the same magnificent form of buds
and flowers, and the same hardiness—-standing at the very
head of all the Roses as the best kind for open-ground cul¬
ture. Vigorous as an oak and hardy everywhere.
WHITE MAMAN COCHET—(T.)

average Rose and healthy growth.

ROSE CLASSIFICATIONS
H. T.—(Hybrid Tea)—-A
class of recent origin, which has
become the most important of all. Perpetual blooming,
with delicate blending of colors, vigor and great hardi¬
ness. Many have tea scent very strongly.
Pern.—(Pernetiana)—A
very recent class, the result of a
cross between Persian Yellow and Hybrid Perpetual.
A wonderful group with startling color effects.
D. P.— (Dwarf Folyantha)—Low-growing,
the flowers in
clusters, bloom all Summer.
W.—(Wichuriana)—A trailing Rose.
Has long pliable
shoots which are easily trained. Very hardy and an ex¬
ceptionally heavy bloomer in the Spring months.

not very vigorous. Foliage always very glossy. They
bloom continuously. Require considerable pruning, good
soil, and proper care, for which this variety will well
repay you.
H. P.—(Hybrid Perpetual)—Hardy, very resistant to
cold. Growth vigorous and upright, with long, un¬
branched canes. Stems long; flowers borne erect; foli¬
age rough; fragrance very distinct.
Cher.—(Cherokee)—Climbers, very glossy evergreen foli¬
age, mainly single flowered. Often used for hedges if
trained on wire.
Pol.—(Polyantha)—Small flowers borne in large clusters.
Very rampant growth and bloom only in the Spring.

shading to bronzy orange and pink. Buds particularly hand¬

IRISH
GENERAL McARTHUR—(H. T.)—As
an outdoor Rose it has
no superior. Of strong, vigorous, healthy growth, branching
freely, it produces its wonderful crimson scarlet blooms pro¬
fusely from May until October. Every shoot carries a large,
double, well-formed flower of exquisite fragrance.
GENERAL JACQUEMINOT—(H. P.)—It
is of vigorous growth
and an abundant bloomer—literally a mass of bloom when at
its best. The flowers are of grand size—rare beauty—and an
intense crimson in color. One of the most satisfactory Roses
to grow.
For a Successful Rose Garden
When to Plant—Winter or early Spring is the best time
to plant Roses, especially in California. When plants are
received, we recommend unpacking immediately and
soaking the roots in wa,ter for three or four hours. Prune
roots to five or six inches, cutting off all bruised parts.
Leave three branches to shape the plant, cutting back
each to about eight inches.
GEO. AHRENDS—(H. P.)—(Pink American Beauty)—Satiny-
pink. The growth of the plant is very good. Strong grower.
This is the very popular “Pink American Beauty.”
Where to Plant—Roses should be planted where they
are sheltered from the wind and receive sun during the
day. A heavy loam is best; never use fresh manures.
Diseases and Insects—For mildew (appears as gray¬
ish-white spots, then dark areas that cause shoots and
leaves to curl and become stunted) dust with finely
ground sulphur every 10 days until disease disappears.
(green plant lice that suck the sap, thus
stunting growth) dust at once with NAVCO NICOTINE
DUST 5N, or spray with Evergreen (see page 82).
If
mildew is present at the same time, dust with NAVCO
NICOTINE-SULPHUR GARDEN DUSTS.
(This is a
combination package containing one of Sulphur and one
of Nicotine Dust. They can be mixed, if desired.)

CHAS. RUSSELL—(H. T.)—A magnificent new Rose,
which has come to stay. The Russell is a brilliant rosy car¬
mine with a beautiful scarlet center. The blooms are very
large and wonderfully formed, the petals being of unusual
substance. The stems are long and slender but very stiff
and strong.
MRS.
OPHELIA—(H. T.)—Salmon
flesh shaded Rose with chamois
center. A Rose that is lovely at any stage. The buds and
flowers are beautifully formed and colored, enhanced by a
rich veining on the petals. Stems are long and carry the
flowers erect. Profuse bloomer.
GONTIER—(T.)—A grand Tea Rose.
Dark, carminecrimson flowers—very full and sweet. Robust grower. Free,
constant bloomer. A charming Rose—one of the handsomest
and best for open ground.
PAPA
PAUL NEYRON—(H. P.)—Color,
a beautiful pink that no other
Rose excels.
Immense and superbly formed flowers—very
double and of great depth and substance. Hardy, perpetually
in bloom, very showy and somewhat fragrant.
PINK MAMAN COCHET—(T.)—We
have always regarded this
as the Queen of all Pink Garden Roses. The buds are large,
full and firm, elegantly pointed, showing depth and richness
as they expand. The superb flowers open perfectly double,
are extra large and of splendid substance. Hardy in every
section of the country; clear rich pink, changing to silvery
rose.
RED RADIANCE—(H. T.)—Clear
cerise-red. The flowers are
well formed and full, very large. An exceptional garden
variety.
SUNBURST—(H. T.)—A
magnificent Tea Rose of a rich or¬
ange-yellow with shades of copoer-yellow and golden-yellow,
all very intense at times.
These shades lighten usually
towards the tips to sulphur-yellow and sometimes under out'
hot Summer sun to a white. In every stag'e it is a beautiful
Rose.
Buds long and pointed, flowers splendid when open.
Growth vigorous, foliage distinct, and very ornamental.
ULRICH BRUNNER—(H. P.)—A marvelously beautiful Rose.
Rich, glowing crimson, strikingly flaked with cerise. Large,
highly perfumed flowers, globular shaped. A general favor¬
ite. The Ulrich Brunner is an all-season Rose, and is a real
rival of the American Beauty. The blooms are produced on
long stems—two or three feet in length. This is one of the
most prolific varieties known to the Rose world.
WM. F. DREER—(Hybrid Tea)—Soft, silvery shell pink, base
of petals golden yellow, beautiful in all stages, foliage robust
and unique, growth vigorous and free flowering; a good gar¬
den Rose.

of great beauty, which appeals to everyone. The flowers are

shade of pink, with a cluster of yellow stamens and are borne
in immense clusters, followed by brilliant red hips of berries,
which are carried late into the Winter.
BEAUTY OP GLAZENWOOD (San Rafael Banksia)—A charm¬
ing combination of copper, crimson and salmon yellow. Fas¬
cinatingly beautiful. A grand climber.
BELLE OP PORTUGAL — A new Climbing Rose that is de¬
cidedly remarkable in many ways.
It is a cross between
Rosa Gigantea, the giant rose of Burmah, and Reine Marie
Henriette.
It was originated at the Botanical Gardens at
Lisbon, Portugal.
Foliage glossy, buds are truly remark¬
able, sometimes attaining a length of four inches, soft salmon-pink and borne usually singly on such long lateral shoots
that stems two feet long can often be cut. It bears a tre¬
mendous crop of flowers in very early Spring.
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY—A very heavy and strong
grower. Hardy everywhere. Color is a very rich red, passing
to' crimson. A very popular climber.

immense flowers sweetly scented. Conceded to be the best
Rose of its color in existence. Particularly attractive when
in bud.
CLIMBING MRS. AARON WARD—Long buds borne on erect
stems; flowers very large and full, and the color is copperyorange in the opening bud; golden-orange when partly devel¬
oped; pinkish fawn of lovely shade when fully open, when it
looks like a full, puffy silk rosette.
No wonder that the
flower buyers have fallen in love with it.

BANKSIA WHITE—A thornless climbing Rose, with glossy
ever-green foliage. The flowers are small but bloom in great
profusion in Spring and early Summer.
BANKSIA YELLOW—Deep yellow blossoms.
DOROTHY PERKINS—(H. W.)—Shell-pink, extremely hardy,
vigorous and free-blooming. The shoots frequently grow 15
to 30 feet in one season. The flowers are borne in immense
clusters of 30 to 40. They are perfectly double, with crinkled
petals and excellently adapted for cutting and decorating.
Dorothy Perkins is a grand Rose to plant on trellis, tall trees,
sheds or arbors.
DR. W. VAN FLEET—The Flesh Pink Climbing Rose—The
parentage of Souvenir du Pres. Carnot X Rosa Wichuraiana.
The open flowers are four inches and over in diameter. The
center is built high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped.
The flowers are full and double, of delicate perfume, buds
pointed, stems twelve to eighteen inches.
HIAWATHA—A brilliant single, ruby carmine, with a clear
white eye and a mass of golden stamens—a glowing combina¬
tion of colors.
PILLAR OF GOLD—(T.)—A glorious climbing yellow Rose.
SILVER MOON—(W.) —Silver Moon is the result of a most
interesting cross. Rosa Wichuraiana X Rosa Senica—Chero¬
kee Rose. The flowers are 4% inches and over in diameter.
Clear silvery white in color, petals of great substance and
beautifully cupped. The center is filled with bright yellow
stamens, a very attractive feature. They are borne on strong
stems, 12 to 18 inches long, and are delicately fragrant.
SINGLE CHEROKEE—Large, clear white, single flowers, full
of bright yellow stamens in the center. Very odd. Dark rich
carmine foliage.
TAUSENDSCHOEN—(Pol.) — (Thousand Beauties)—The flow¬
ers upon first opening are of the most delicate shade of pink
ever seen in a Rose; might be described as a white delicatelyflushed pink, changing to rosy-carmine.
It gets its name
from its many flowers and the variations in coloring.
LADY GAY—Blossoms borne in immense clusters. Color, soft
pink. Especially useful for growing in pots for Easter deco¬
ration.
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER—(W.) —■ The flowers of this
superb Rose are vivid scarlet, shaded with bright crimson,
and are produced in the greatest profusion in large clusters
of medium-sized semi-double blossoms. This variety sur¬
passes in brilliancy of color any other Climbing Rose and the
flowers remain unusually long in good condition. It also
forces well under glass. It has been awarded the Gold Medal
of the National Rose Society, also the Cory Cup as the best
New British Climbing Rose, and an Award of Merit from the
Royal Horticultural Society.
PINK MAMAN COCHET—(T.)—Blooms all through the year,
producing large, magnificent pink flowers on stems that are
as long as those on the bush varieties.
RAMONA—The new red single Cherokee—.a sport of the fa¬
mous Pink Cherokee. The color is one unusual in Roses; rich
carmine overlaid with a lustrous sheen which is impossible
of reproduction with the artist’s brush. During the Spring
months the plants are literally covered with blooms.
REINE MARIE HENRIETTE—(Red Marechal Neil)—This
Rose is one of the prettiest free-blooming climbers we know
oi. There is no Rose that blooms so freely and produces such
beautiful flowers as the Reine Marie Henriette. The flowers
are large and double, of bright cherry-red color. Sweetly
scented, with long stems. A Rose that can be used for deco¬
rations and for bouquets.
STAR OF PERSIA—Bright yellow semi-double flowers, meas¬
uring about three inches across. Very fragrant. The foliage
is a very dark green.
—
Climbing White Maman Cochet
SINGLE PINK CHEROKEE—(Cher.)—A charming Climbing
Rose that we introduced a few years ago. Its habit is simi¬
lar to the well-known Single White Cherokee, but it is of
stronger growth, and its flowers are almost half again as
large. Its blossoms are an exceedingly beautiful lively shellpink—a trifle lighter in color at the end of the petals—and its
luxuriant foliage is darker and richer than that of the white
variety. No lover of Roses can afford to be without this new
novelty.
SUNBURST—(H. T.)—The flowers are of a rich orange-yellow
with touches of golden and coppery-yellow. The beautiful
petals lighten toward the tip.
WHITE MAMAN COCHET—(T.)—In form and substance the
flowers are identical with the Pure White Maman Cochet—
but on account of its vigorous habit, the climbing variety is
larger and more beautiful than the bush.

PLANTING SUGGESTIONS
A sunny location is preferable. The ground should be worked
at least 12 inches deep. If the soil is heavy, burnt ashes will
improve the conditions considerably, and if possible a little
sand mixed in will be of additional help. If, on the other hand,
the ground is sandy or light, add loam and well-rotted manure
and mix well to a'depth of at least 12 inches.
DO NOT, when planting, bury the plants any deeper in the
ground than they were in the pots, or they may die from “stem
rot.” Do not plant them any nearer than 18 inches, and care¬
fully stake the plants when sufficient growth warrants staking.
Water frequently. When taking off dead blooms, cut the
stems off as far back as possible, which will induce new
growths and help to keep the plants bushy. If large blooms are
deemed only nn» or two buds should be allowed to each stem.
Carnation plants may he left in the open throughout the
Winter, haying been cut back to 6 to 8 inches of the soil.

GLASS CLOTH
A Cheap Substitute for Glass
GLASS CLOTH is a strong fabric treated by a patented
process to make it transparent, weather-proof and water¬
proof. It costs much less than glass and for many purposes
is superior. Anyone can put it up. It admits abundant light
which it diffuses and scatters to all parts of the enclosure.
It comes in rolls 36 inches wide and any length. Originated
1916. Proven by 11 years’ success.
Simply tack GLASS CLOTH over your screens to make fine
storm doors and windows. Enclose your porch for the Winter
by using GLASS CLOTH on light frames. Brings Winter com¬
fort. Shuts out cold. Ideal for enclosing porches and sleeping
porches. Like adding a new room at small cost.
When a garage window—or one in the chicken house breaks,
why bother with expensive glass that has to be cut to fit and
then puttied in? At only a fraction of the cost and in one-fourth
the time you can mend that window with GLASS CLOTH.
Some tacks and a hammer are all you need. Keep a roll around
the house for emergencies. Write for circular.

NAVLET’S POPULAR GARDEN CALENDAR
This Guide shows you what flowers and vegetables to plant every month in the year. Intended primarily for California con¬
ditions, it can be used for northern States by making a suitable allowance for difference in climate—usually planting should
be done a few weeks later.
JANUARY
FLOWER GARDEN—As next month will be a busy month
it is well to get everything ready, seeds selected and the
ground all spaded up. Have a definite plan of what you are to
plant and where it is to be planted. In other words, lay out
your garden in detail before beginning to sow your seeds.
When beds are to be made use well-rotted manure and work
well into the soil.
Some of the Bulbs planted in the fall
should be blooming during this month; in fact, a January
garden is mainly dependent on this form of flowers.
Com¬
mence planting the following Bulbs: Dahlias, Tuberoses, Cal¬
adium, Madeira Vine Root, Cinnamon Vine and continue plant¬
ing the following Bulbs: Agapanthus, Amaryllis (Belladonna),
Anemones, Bleeding Heart, Crocus, Cyclamen, Freesia, Daffo¬
dil, Gladiolus, Hyacinths, Ixias, Jonquil, Japanese Lilies, Jap¬
anese Iris, Easter Lilies, Calla Lily, Narcissus, Paeonies, Ra¬
nunculus, Snowdrops, Sparaxis, Spanish Iris, Tulips, Lily-ofthe-Valley.

will be stronger and the blossoms more profuse than if planted
later. All deciduous shrubs and evergreens can now be planted.
VEGETABLE GARDEN—Some few vegetables, such as
Beets, Carrots, Lettuce, Mushroom Spawn, Parsley, Peas, Rad¬
ishes, Rutabagas and Turnips may be planted all the year
round.
During this month begin planting Broccoli, Early
Cabbage and Kale.
Commence setting out Rhubarb Roots,
Brussels Sprouts. Near the end of the month, in sunny situa¬
tions, all early Potatoes, including Gold Coin, may be planted.
Gold Coin Potatoes will mature three weeks earlier than any
other extra early varieties.
Beds already planted should be
dressed with about 3 inches of manure well rotted.
During
the latter part of the month Tomatoes, Melons, Peppers,
Squashes and Egg Plant may be sown under glass for plant¬
ing later.
Continue to plant Cauliflower and Spinach, Onion Sets, Onion
Seeds and Parsnips. Clean up the garden, as next month is a
busy one.

may be replanted. The vacant places thus created should be
filled with Dahlias, Petunias, Pansies, Salvias and other flow¬
ering plants.

SIX RULES FOR A SUCCESSFUL GARDEN
There are two kinds of soil in California. One is the raw
soil that packs so hard that vegetation cannot take root. The
other soil is as pliable as sand, and ought to grow anything,
but will not.
They need life (humus), and there is nothing
better to put life into soil than a green manuring crop plowed
under at the right time, and to thoroughly air the soil by cul¬
tivation.
1— ho not plant close; give vegetables enough room to grow.
2— Have soil good and moist when planting.
3— Irrigation is always preferable over sprinkling.
4— Cultivation as soon as possible following irrigation is es¬
sential.
5— Try to keep all growing stuff growing continuously; a
check in growth almost equals a failure.
6— Always have ground good and wet where you transplant
any plant to permanent location.
For your garden gather weeds, leaves, etc. Put them in a
pile to rot. This will add humus. For the field, grow vetch,
melilotus, or horse beans during the Winter months, and in the
spring plant cow peas. All these crops will furnish feed for
the stock as well as humus to the soil. Cover crops for green
manuring should be plowed under a month before planting and
before sowing any seed the field should be thoroughly irrigated
and cultivated. If this is not done a dry crust will form over
the humus.
CAREFUL PREPARATION IMPORTANT
To grow well, a plant requires a deep, mellow, moist soil,
supolied with the right amount of air. heat and available plant
food.
An important step, then, in the successful growing of
vegetables is to prepare the soil in such a way that it will be
congenial to the best root growth. The soil for truck crops is
a rich sandy loam—a soil containing varying proportions of
clay, sand and organic matter.
A good garden soil can be
made in most back yards by intelligent management, and an
application of two pounds each of Toro Sulphur and lime to
every 100 square feet.
In a deep, mellow soil, the plants grow more quickly, since
larger root systems can be developed and more food and
moisture absorbed. A deep, mellow soil affords a larger reser¬
voir to hold rain needed during the droughts that come in the
growing season. Such a soil is warmer and contains air needed
for the growing roots and for the bacteria that cause decay of
organic matter or gather nitrogen from the soil air.
Clay is easily injured by tilling when it is not in the right
condition. If worked too wet, the particles all slide together
into a compact mass. On the other hand, if worked too dry,
the clods are hard to break. When clay soil is in the right con¬
dition to work it will crumble apart if squeezed in the hand. If
it sticks together it is too wet.
Clay soil should never be
worked when it is wet, not even with a hoe. Calcium Sulphate
will help very materially to break up this type of soil.

Even the Amateur Gardener Can Make a
Successful Hot-Bed
Good hot-beds can be made by digging down about
three feet and filling the excavation with rather fresh
horse manure in which there is a good deal of bedding
straw. About 18 inches of this manure is sufficient and
then fill in on top of it with about one foot of good soil
mixed with sand. This manure pile will be compressed
and will soon begin to ferment and will then keep the
top soil warm and cause the seed to sprout quickly and
the young plants will grow very fast. It is best to en¬
close the hot-bed with boards, making what is called a
cold-frame. This is done by running the length of the
bed east and west and by making the north side about
two feet high and the south side not more than six
inches. The ends also should be enclosed and a sash of
glass should he hung on hinges at the highest end. This
sash should be raised for ventilation during most of the
day, since the bed gets very warm and the atmosphere
very close if kept too tightly closed for too long a time.
As the plants grow, the sash should be left up longer
each day to harden them and prepare them for final
transplanting.
The hot-bed should have a very sunny location near a
hedge or some building, well protected from the prevail¬
ing wind.
The object of the cold-frame is to make an artificial
heat, and to protect the plants from frost during the
Winter.
Seed may be started at any time during the
Winter, and the plants can be ready to set out just as
soon as danger of frost is over.
As the sun gets too hot it is necessary to shade the
bed and the glass should be whitewashed or covered with
sacking if necessary. Too much heat is fatal to the ten¬
der young plants.
PLANTERS’ GUIDE
WHERE TC PLANT
CLAS^IEIEP
Quite often we are asked as to what flowers are suitable for planting in certain locations, and as to their most suitable uses.
We have therefore classified all the different flowers of which we sell seeds or plants for convenient reference.
Where any variety is suitable for more than one use, we have entered it in the separate classes.
Perennials are separated from Annuals, and Biennials are classed with the Perennials. Plants that will do well in a shady
location we have indicated by (s) after the name, and those that will do well in partially shaded locations are indicated by (ps).

ANNUALS
Annuals are ornamental plants produc¬
ing seed and coming into maturity the
year in which the seeds are sown. They
are not necessarily annual in their dura¬
tion, in the sense of dying and complet¬
ing their cycle within twelve months.
The annuals are of easy propagation,
being grown from seeds of the previous
year. Whether the seeds should be start¬
ed indoors depends on the region, the
species, the season in which bloom is de¬
sired.
Small delicate seeds should be
started under cover for protection from
beating rains and winds, whatever the
region, north or south.
Very few an¬
nuals bloom continuously from early to
late. The best results are obtained by
repeated sowings at intervals. The seed¬
lings should be transplanted before they
crowd in the boxes.
PERENNIALS
Perennials are herbaceous plants that
live three years or more. Many of the
herbaceous perennials propagate from
off-sets and divisible parts. Most of the
herbaceous perennials propagate readily
by means of seeds. The Larkspur, Cam¬
panula, Golden Rods, Chrysanthemums,
and many others, may be grown easily
from seeds sown in the open ground in
Spring. It is preferable to raise the seed¬
lings in boxes or beds and transplant in
Autumn or Spring to permanent quarters.
Seeds of many perennials, particularly
those borne in fleshy capsules or berries,
do not grow until they pass the Winter's
frost, and some will not germinate until
the second Spring. With most herbace¬
ous perennials, the best bloom is obtained
with young plants; after the second
bloom the plant may begin to fail or to
become root-bound. We encourage the
practice of growing perennials from seed.
HOW TO SOW
Success from sowing seeds depends
upon having your soil right as to moist¬
ure and texture, your seed sown at a
proper depth and where the sunshine can
furnish the heat. Soil that is hard and
going to bake is not right to start seeds
in. Take such soil in the Fall and spade
in manure or Humus and let it rot for
several months, and then work up fine. In
Spring add to - a heavy, that is, clayey
soil, Humus, and sand (sharp, fresh¬
water sand), so that there is one-third
loam, one-third sand and one-third leaf
mould. This makes an excellent soil for
starting fine seeds. For potting add a
small amount of old sheep manure.
SEEDS IN THE OPEN
Seeds of hardy annuals may be sown
directly in the bed where they are to re¬
main. Have the ground well worked up
and mixed with Humus if needed.
The
soil should be well moistened, not wet
and soggy, and not, by any means, dry
when the seeds are sown. Put all medium¬
sized seeds at a depth of one-quarter to
one-half inch.
Sweet Peas should go
deeper. Very fine seed should be pressed
into the soil and a little sand or Peat
(see page 83) sifted over them. Water
more frequently if the seed is close to the
surface, and if necessary protect them
with cheese cloth while watering. These
seeds are best sown in the open, so as
not to be transplanted: Eschscholtzia,
Nasturtium, Poppy. If the seed be sown
directly in the garden, it should be sown
in the Spring after the soil is well worked
and when in moist condition. When up,
the plants must be thinned from two to
twelve inches, depending on the variety,
otherwise they will be weak and spindling.
SEEDS IN BOXES
Always use care in getting a good loam
as described above. Use no manure in
any seed bed. Boxes 4 inches deep and
18x24 inches are the usual size. See that
good drainage is provided by boring holes
in the bottom: fill with the fine prepared
soil, which should be moist but not wet
enough to stick together when squeezed
with the hand. Sow the seed about onequarter inch deep, except fine seeds. Water
so as to keep the soil always just moist.
Water carefully and regularly. A pane of
glass over the box adds more heat, pro¬
tects from draught, prevents drying out
and is not necessary except for difficult
seeds. The box should be in the sunlight.
When the plants are in third or fourth
leaf they should be pricked out and reset
in another box with plenty of room, for it
is important that the plant be of good
size, strong and sturdy, when finally
transplanted in the garden.

PLANTERS’ GUIDE
HOW TO
i-7|Jij>W
BLACKBERRIES, RASPBERRIES, ETC.
To get the largest blooms and long stems you should pinch
off all the buds except the leading top bud.
The best time to water Carnations is in the morning.
TIME TO PLANT—The best time to plant Carnations is
from November to June, although they can be planted all the
year round.
Carnation plants generally become exhausted in
two years and should be replenished.
By following these culture directions anyone can grow the
choicest of Carnations.
ENCOURAGE NEW GROWTH—Each year, after the leaves
bave ^a^en*
have left the canes bare, cut off the canes
that have fruited during the summer so they will be level with
the surface of the ground, then new canes will sprout out. Al¬
low to remain for the coming season.
After they have grown,
prune off or pinch the tips of each cane to force out the laterals (side branches).
It is the new growth that produces the
choicest fruit.
If the old canes are left on the plants they will
produce inferior fruit.
If you intend to tie the canes to stakes or a trellis, let the
ati'-aln a
of 5 to 6 feet before pinching or pruning
i tfle,tlPsx of the new cane growth.
If you intend to teach
p]
alone’ Pinch off the tips when 2 to 4 feet high.
REMOVE OLD CANE—All old cane and other debris should
oe removed from the rows after pruning.
Blackberries require
a rich ground, and plenty of well-rotted stable manure or compost should be applied as soon as the patch is cleaned up.
Blackberries should be planted in rows from 6 to 8 feet apart,
ana the plants 3 feet apart in each row, as they have a con¬
stant tendency to spread themselves in the rows.
CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTIVATION
HOW TO PLANT—Chrysanthemums are one of the easiest
plants to grow.
They thrive in almost any soil, and require a
sunny exposure.
To prepare the soil, use one-quarter of decayed manure and
work it in thoroughly about 12 inches deep.
The young
plants should be set out about 2 feet apart, the ground pressed
around the roots, and watered freely.
TO GET LARGE BLOOMS—After the young plants have
grown 12 inches, pinch them back about 4 inches, then each
plant will send out from 3 to 4 stems.
In order to give
strength to the flowers, mulch, or cover, the ground with a
j
^rom 1 to 2 inches of decayed manure.
As soon a?
the buds appear on stems, let the largest remain and pinch off
all others.
Water freely in the morning.

DAHLIA CULTIVATION
SOIL AND LOCATION—The Dahlia loves the open, sunny
situations, and for convenience and ease in cultivation a rich,
mellow soil is preferred.
The Dahlia possesses a happy and
ea-sy-going disposition, and readily adapts itself to almost any
soil or situation, except dense shade and wet, sour soil.
Dahlia
plants or bulbs can be set as soon as danger of frost is over
Young plants or divided bulbs produce larger and finer flow¬
ers than large undivided clumps of bulbs.
, ®*^*SXON OP BULBS—Dahlia bulbs should be taken out of
tne ground and divided every year to obtain the best results,
in dividing Dahlia bulbs one should be very careful not to pull
tnem aparT, but use a knife, and be sure to cut part of the
stem with the bulb so as to have an eye on the bulbs, other¬
wise the bulb will not grow.
In preparing the soil use well-decayed manure, mixed thor¬
oughly with the soil before planting.
Dahlias do not do well
if over-fertilized.
FOR LARGE FLOWERS—To obtain large blooms or Exhibi¬
tion flowers, select the largest bud on each stock and pinch off
atl the rest; by so doing the flowers reach an enormous size.
It troubled with Aphis use Nico-Dust No. 6.
For Slugs use
Nico-Dust No. 5. (See page 83.)
Treatment of the soil is the same as for Blackberries.

ROSE CULTIVATION
UNPACKING—Should plants, when received, have a withered appearance, caused by an unusual delay in transit (which
seldom occurs), soak them in water for an hour or more, so as
to restore their vitality.
TIMS TO PLANT—Roses should be set out when the plants
are dormant or when the leaves begin to fall.
Planting season
begins about November 15th.
HOW TO PLANT—The Rose delights in an open, airy situa¬
tion; all types are partial to clay loam, but will succeed in
any ordinary soil if enriched with decayed manure. Dig up the
soil thoroughly to a depth of 12 to 15 inches.
When the bush
is planted press the soil firmly over the roots.
Make a basin
around the plant, and water freely to exclude "air, and settle
the earth.
PRUNING—This operation is best performed during the
dormant season.
Most Roses do better if moderately pruned
We usually remove from one-third to two-thirds of the past
year s growth, and all weak or decayed wood should be en¬
tirely cut out.
As a rule, the more vigorous the variety the
less it should be pruned.
It is always the new growth which
gives the most flowers.

ROSE DISEASES AND REMEDIES
APHIS, OR GREEN PLY—This is a small louse that
attacks the young and tender shoots and buds. NicoDust No. 6 powdered on the bushes in early morning will
kill them. (See page 83.)
MILDEW—This attacks the leaves and they become
covered with a whitish mold. If not attended to, mildew
will greatly retard the growth of the plant and impair
the quality of the flower.
Sprinkle with our powdered
sulphur.
If powdered sulphur is used early in the morn¬
ing, when the dew is on the leaves, the remedy will be
most effective.
Otherwise spray with water before using
the sulphur, so it will adhere to the leaves. (See page 83.)

ROSE BUG—This little rogue is about the size of a

powdered white hellebore, or a solution of whale oil soap
are the best remedies.
5s IMPORTANT—Stopping the growth of the young
f’ifPts by pinching off the leading shoots is one of the most
mportant operations connected with Carnation culture.
By
sbo°ts the result is to produce a greater number
or growths and make a bushy plant.

HOW TO BUD AND GRAFT
PLANTING—The holes should be dug at least 8 inches to
one foot larger in every direction than required by the roots
when spread out in their natural position; top soil should be
broken down from the edge, and raised to a cone in the center
of the hole to set the tree on, and the roots then brought to
their natural position; then carefully shovel in the top soil
(which should be made quite fine) between the roots until cov¬
ered; then tramp firmly as the filling up progresses; when
nearly all filled in, place two inches of fine soil on top.
TIME TO PLANT—Generally speaking, last half of Decem¬
ber, all of January and February, is the best time, but good
results may be obtained from March and even April planting.
Depends on the rainfall in early fall and late spring.
FERTILIZE—If soil requires it, use fertilizers, the safer
way being to use a mulch, or scatter on the surface after
planting; then cultivate in if a commercial fertilizer is used.
In no instance put manure in the hole when planting, as it
will burn the roots.
PROTECT TREES—The “Yucca palm fiber’’ tree protectors
are the best, as they are easily put on and will last a long
time.
Most orchardists advise use of some protection around
young trees when planting out.

SINCE 1885
A Few Simple Rules for the Home Gardener
The mention of budding and grafting to the home gardener
Immediately opens up a vision of something at once so com¬
plicated and out of the ordinary that only an expert in this
particular line should attempt it.
A few simple rules that anyone can easily understand, and
a few experiments will convince the most skeptical that with
a little care the calling in of an expert is not at all necessary.
The first fact to be borne in mind is the proper time to bud
and graft.
GRAFTING
Grafting Fruit or Nut Trees in California must be done
when the trees are dormant.
This is usually any time be¬
tween December and February, according to the section of the
State.

All trees produce the second
year after planting, but not in
paying quantities.
HOW TO PRUNE
The tops should be shortened in more or less, depending on
the size, variety and condition of the trees.
In commercial
orchards one-year-old trees are cut down to from 18 inches to 2
feet above ground, and all the side limbs are cut to one or two
buds; two-year-old trees with formed tops should be shortened
in from 6 inches to 1 foot of main stem.
No Summer pruning
should be done the first year; strong growing side limbs on
lower part of the tree can be shortened in from 6 inches to 1
foot from stem, so that the leaves left will shade the trees.
APPLE AND CRABAPPLE—Trees should not be allowed to
carry too many branches, and pruning will largely consist of
thinning out surplus shoots, and removing interference be¬
tween branches.
It is not desirable to shorten-in the Apple, as
is done with the Apricot and Peach.
APRICOTS—The practice is to remove half or two-thirds of
the new growth and thin out by removing enough new and old
wood to prevent the tree from becoming thick and bushy.
ALMONDS—The tree should be headed low and pruned dur¬
ing the first three years to secure a shapely, strong tree. After
the third year little pruning is required except to thin out ob¬
jectionable branches by Winter pruning.
CHERRY—The Cherry tree may be pruned the same as any
other deciduous fruit tree, until it is about five years old; after
that the less pruning the better.
FIGS—After getting the general shape of the tree, there is
little need of pruning except to remove defective branches or
those which cross and interfere with each other.
It is better
to remove branches entirely than shorten them, or, in shorten¬
ing, always cut to a strong lateral.
Stubs left in pruning are
very undesirable.
ORANGE—LEMON—POMELO—The Orange tree is more
disposed, naturally, to assume a good form than most other
trees, and for this reason it requires as little pruning as possible.
Overcome the tendency of the young trees to run long shoots,
which interfere with irrigation and cultivation.
Remove de¬
fective branches and those which will cross and interfere with
each other.
PEACH AND NECTARINE—The Peach, fruiting only on
wood of the previous year’s growth, bears fruit farther away
from the body of the tree each year, and the small shoots of
from one-eighth to three-sixteenths in diameter begin to de¬
cline when the fruit is removed.
To have healthy growth, all
of these small branches must be removed.
PEAR—Prune straggling branches; thin out so that the
branches will not wind around each other, but don’t cut the top.
The more you cut the more wood you get.
After the tree comes
into full bearing it is plenty of time to head back.
PLUMS AND PRUNES—The annual growth must be shortened-in every Winter from one-half to two-thirds, and all lat¬
erals and fruit spurs must be cut back at every pruning.
CHESTNUT—PERSIMMON—POMEGRANATE—QUINCE—
Require practically no pruning, except to remove defective
branches and those which interfere with each other.
WALNUT—All the pruning needed is to obtain the general
shape. Whenever shoots are killed back by frost or by sun¬
burn, they should be cut off cleanly below the black mark
which shows how far the injury has extended.
If this is done,
the die-back down the branches is usually prevented.
Never trim more branches or cut scions than can
be finished the same day.
Do not allow water to be¬
come mixed with wax, and it is best not to do graft¬
ing on a rainy day.
One graft or scion to a 1-inch limb, or 3 scions to
a 3-inch stub is a good rule to follow.
First select the scions, which should have three or four
healthy buds thereon, and shape as in Fig. (e), being at the
base in the form of a wedge or like the letter V.
Next select the tree upon which the graft is to be made,
being sure to select a healthy limb.
Saw off with a sharp
saw from 6 inches to 2 feet from the main trunk.
Then take
a grafting knife and make a clean cut as in Fig. (a) in the
illustration above, about 3 inches deep; spread the cut with
back hook of grafting knife to allow insertion of grafts as in
Fig.
(b), which for convenience sake has been shown as
though a section of the tree had been removed, making sure
that the wedge is just below the upper surface of cut.
Figure
(c) shows the grafts as they actually appear.
The next step is to cover the tops of grafts and stump of
branch with grafting wax of best quality, as shown
in
Fig. (d), filling the cut across the end of limb and along the
sides following the cut, to exclude the air, so the scion or
graft will not dry out, and be given a chance to grow.
BUDDING
Budding should be done in the spring and summer, when the
bark can easily be separated.
First prepare the bud as it appears in Fig. (f) as shown in
the illustration below; next select the branch on which the
bud is to be inserted.
It is always well to select the bud from
a healthy tree or branch and, of course, to select a healthy
limb for the incision.
With a budding or other sharp knife, make a T-shaped in¬
cision a little longer than the bud, in the bark of limb, in a
smooth place of bark on the parent tree, as shown in Fig
(a); next roll back the bark as shown in Fig. (b); then in¬
sert bud as in Fig. (c); gently press bud down into the in¬
cision until firmly placed against the inner wood as shown
in Fig. (d); next tie securely the bud and bark with twine,
starting above the bud and working downward, as shown in
Fig. (e), making sure that the twine is directly above and be¬
low the bud.
Cut string in two to three
signs of abrasing the bark.
weeks, before the string
shows
You may grow several different varieties of fruit on one
tree, but always remember that a stone fruit can only be
budded or grafted on a stone fruited tree.
Roses should be budded after the spring blooms have died
down, but may be budded all through the active growing
season.
Why not have more roses?
You may have a dozen different
varieties of roses on one bush.

SOW ANY MONTH—Lawns can be made in California any
month in the year, but if made from September to May will
require less care and water.
The ground should be well pre¬
pared.
The soil should not be too rich, as at the start a rapid
growth is not wanted from Grass sowed for lawns.
PREPARATION OF SOID—After the ground is thoroughly
worked, roll the soil before seeding to prevent the soil from
settling uneven.
After the soil is rolled, then rake the sur¬
face lightly.
Sow the seed so as to cover the ground thor¬
oughly with seed.
After seeding cover seed lightly with soil.
Then roll again so as to press the seed in firmly.
If you have
no roller use boards and tramp on them so as to' pack the
ground firmly.
A roller is preferred.
If you do not pack the
ground firmly the seed will grow in spots, and the mower wiil
ruin the lawn on account of the soil being loose.

VICLET
PLANT/
Marie Louise—Califor¬
nia—Princess of Wales—
and Purple King — the
four loveliest of violets.
Famous for their superb
form, superb fragrance,
and matchless beauty.
Every garden should
have its bed or border of
violets. Order an assort¬
ment of each of these.
MARIE LOUISE—A MAGNIFICENT DOUBLE VIOLET
MARIE LOUISE—This beautiful Violet is a great favorite. It is a prolific bloomer
and will thrive in shady places where most plants will not do well. The foliage
is extremely luxuriant and of a pleasing, glossy green. The large double blooms
are exquisitely perfumed and are borne on long, strong stems. Plants, 12 for 75c,
postpaid; $5.00 per 100.
CALIFORNIA—The largest and most
productive Violet in cultivation. The
flowers are single in form, and while
almost as large as a silver dollar,
they have that sweet simplicity pe¬
culiar to the Violet. The color is
pure, rich violet-blue and does not
fade. The flowers are borne on long
stems, 10 to 14 inches in length, well
above the foliage, which is an un¬
usual feature among Violets. Plants,
12 for 50c, postpaid; 100 for $3.50,
postpaid.
PRINCESS OP WALES—A glorious
and very fragrant variety of fine
habit — Sturdy growth and justly
famous for its early and continuous
blooming and the immense number of
flowers it bears. It is a distinct type
of the California Violet—being a
lighter purple. The flowers average
larger than a silver dollar, and are
borne on gracefully poised stems
from 12 to 14 inches long. Plants, 12
for 30c, postpaid; 100 for $3.50.
PURPLE KING—For size, order Prin¬
cess of Wales—for profusion of flow¬
ers, order the Purple King. You have
never seen a Violet bear so abun¬
dantly as this. It is a perfect mar¬
vel. And while the blooms are of
only medium size, they are, neverthe¬
less, perfect in form with a soft vel¬
vety sheen that is indescribably at¬
tractive.
One of the chief features
is the fact that they will keep a week
after picking.
12 choice plants, 50c,
postpaid; 100 plants for $3.50.
