INTRODUCTION
It is with real pride that we offer the finest collection of well grown plants that we have ever had. We have added many new and interesting items of real merit.
Our nursery is not large and in many cases our stocks are limited. Early orders will be appreciated, and we will ship at any time you designate.
We have small amounts of many plants not listed. Write us regarding your needs.
We would call especial attention to our fine collection of Japanese iris. Our listing is one of the most extensive in this country. The sight of our field at blooming time with its wealth of delicate frilled blooms in their lovely pastel to deep and brilliant tones paints an unforgettable picture.
We recommend especially our Auricula plants. Last year we bloomed several thousand choice seedlings and by careful selection we are developing a superior strain. We are listing them in separate colors.
Our fern listing warrants careful study. We have a large selection of these useful shade lovers. Our fine English im- ported ferns have increased to some extent but are not in- cluded in the general list. Write us about them if you are interested, we can Spare you a few.
Our collection of aromatic and culinary herbs is alluring. They want more using!
Heights given in our descriptions are ultimate sizes. Plants sent out are not usually mature specimens. We can often furnish a variety of sizes at proportional prices to those listed. All dwarf evergreens are grown from cuttings to insure true dwarf character. ;
Please do read terms of sale carefully!! We can send lar- ger plants if you will pay express charges. We do not pay transportation on shrubs and dwarf trees.

Whenever it is possible, we would like to have you visit our garden. We are situated on a paved road one-half block east of the four-lane Portland-Oregon City highway, No. 99-E. If you are approaching Portland from the south, turn to your right at Hull Ave. crossing, which is about a mile north of Oregon City. If you are coming from Portland, turn to your left one block after you pass the interurban grade crossing at Jennings Lodge. If you become confused, ask anybody in the neighborhood. We have been here thirty years. We live at the garden, so there is almost sure to be someone to welcome you, no matter what time of day you chance to come.

WESTERN FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
by CARL STARKER
A new book to encourage and instruct the home flower arranger. There are 7 brief chapters on “how and what” to do and 100 photographs arranged by seasons with descriptive notes on containers and materials used. The book is planned for the home rather than show purposes and uses only simple, easy to grow or obtain materials.
The author has conducted a weekly column with photo- graphs and notes on arrangements in the Portland Sunday Journal Garden Section for some years, and has held classes
and lectured widely in the Northwest on the art of flower arrangement.
This book will find wide usage. The text is clear and con- cise and the information is sound. The keynote of the basic rules is simplicity and through its careful study one may de- velop arrangements of originality and distinction.
We are proud to announce that it is included as one of the four books on flower arrangement in the “100 Best Books for the Gardeners Library,’ as compiled by Paul Frese, editor of Flower Grower, E. L. D. Seymour of American Home, and Elizabeth Hall, Librarian at New York Botanic Garden.
Mrs. E. W. of Chico, Calif., says of it: “The illustrations are good. The script is so entertainingly written! One gets all enthused to make something new. You have a way of putting things in writing that gives that ‘lift’ to one’s spirit.”
We think you’ll like it and we’re proud of this little book. Price $2.50 per copy, postpaid. Autographed copies will be sent if desired.
CHRISTMAS GREENS
We are especially fortunate in being situated in a part of the country in which many different types of evergreens grow to perfection. By combining sprays of so many different textures and color tones, we achieve harmonious and lovely wreaths which are interesting on account of the number and variety of the materials used, as well as being deliciously fragrant, and fairly breathing the spirit of Christmas. We do all of this work ourselves, and each wreath is an individual creation, differing slightly from all of the others.
We have developed two types of evergreen wreaths. The larger sort is made from rather long sprays of evergreen and ornamented with berries and big pine cones. We often add sprays of plain or variegated holly and berries, as this makes them more colorful. A wreath of this type, made on a ten inch frame will be about 24 inches wide when finished. They sell for $4.00 each. We will be glad to make more elaborate ones to order at $4.50 and up.
The smaller kind of evergreen wreath is more compactly made of shorter branches, smaller cones and juniper berries, and holly, so that it is not so large or wide when finished. These are very dainty wreaths, suitable either for doorways or for inside decoration. We sell a great many of the smaller sizes for use in apartments. We make them in several sizes at $1.50, $2.00, $2.50 and up to $4.00. The $1.50 wreath is made on a 6 in. frame and when finished is about 10 in wide. The $2.00 8 in. frame makes a 14 in. wreath, and larger sizes are in pro- portion.
We can make you attractive door sprays or swags of ever- green, cones and holly. They can be decorated with copper bells and tied with waterproof ribbon if you choose. Prices range from $1.50-$5.00.
We can also supply selected Oregon grown holly, well ber- ried, at 75c per Ib.
The price of wreaths, sprays and holly as quoted does not include transportation charges nor the cost of boxes for ship- ment. Boxes are charged at cost, for the large wreaths 30e and 35c. For the smaller types, 20c and 25c.
Orders should be placed by the 1st of December, so that we can give them proper, unhurried attention.

The dwarf heathers, which are such good shrubs for the rockery, are listed under so many scientific names that it is difficult for the ordinary gardener to keep track of them all; therefor we have sought to simplify matters by listing them all under one heading. There are no finer rock garden shrubs than the heathers; their foliage is al- ways neat, and the fact that the different sorts bloom at different
34 CARL STARKER, JENNINGS LODGE, OREGON
seasons, makes it possible to have one or another of them in bloom at almost any time of year. All heathers require a loose, peaty soil, and will be improved if they are cut back after flowering, as this tends to make them more compact. They need full sun to bloom well. We are very proud of our large selection. They are priced ac-
cording to size and rarity.

IRIS SECTION
We have so many kinds of irises, that it seems easier and better to devote a section of our catalog entirely to them. Even then we do not feel that we have done them justice in our descriptions of them; they are so varied and so individual. This is especially true in the case of the iris species, which differ so greatly in size, habit and general requirements. We feel sure that if they were better known, the iris species would be much more extensively planted. If they are chosen with care, it is possible to have some species or variety of
DWARF EVERGREENS WILL STAY PUT 4]
iris in bloom at almost every season of the year.
We are glad to have you visit us at any time, for we almost always have some sort of iris in bloom, and it is much more satis- factory to select your plants when you can see them in bloom. If you can’t come to see us, we will be glad to give you additional infor- mation by letter.

JAPANESE [RISES
Japanese irises are very valuable because they bloom later than almost any other sort. The beautifully colored flowers are larger than those of other irises, and are well adapted for use as cut flowers. They grow well in sun, but will do well in half shade also. They like acid, and will thrive in a moist situation, but will grow well and bloom under ordinary garden conditions if given plenty of moisture before the blooming season. The number in parenthesis after the name indicates the number of petals.

SIBERIAN IRISES
Siberian irises are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. This is largely due to the fact that the newer varieties are not well known. Until you have grown a few of the newer Siberian irises, you will have no idea how greatly they have been improved in size and color in recent years. They are graceful and lovely, and make excellent cut flowers, lending themselves well to flower ar- rangement. They will grow well in semi-shaded and boggy situa- tions, although they are just as well suited to regular garden con- ditions. They prefer a slightly acid soil.
