Dear Customer:

We offer this catalog in the hopes that it will help you in selecting plants for your gardens and landscapes. We specialize in Camellias and have over 5300 varieties to select from. We have one of the finest selections of Rhododendrons available, including the newest varieties. We also have lovely specimen plants of Azaleas.

We have some of the newest ideas out for the use of Camellias. ‘‘Espalier Camellias” in all different shapes, sizes and forms. Then we have ‘‘Tree Form”’ and ‘‘Umbrella Form’”’ grafted Camellias. We have grafted Camellias with dif- ferent varieties on one plant. We are proud to say that we also have the World’s Wonder Camellia’? which has over 100 Fall Sasanqua and Japonica varieties grafted on it. This plant starts to bloom in October and blooms until the end of May. This is truly a sight to see.

We have a fine selection of evergreen shrubs listed in our catalog this year. The prices are very reasonable. Also you will find special sale prices listed on many articles.

Due to the high cost of living and shipping rates we have cut our prices on Camellias, Rhododendrons and Azaieas 10% to 20% from our 1948 and Spring of 1949 prices. THIS CUT SHOULD PAY SHIPPING COSTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

We send our catalog to prospective customers all over the U.S.A. Many of these flower lovers are unable to visit our Nursery and wish to have their plants shipped to them. We wish to assure these customers that no plant leaves our Nursery that we would not wish to receive ourselves. We guarantee our stock to be true to name, healthy and of the size specified. We may give an oversize plant but never undersize. All plants are balled and burlaped and the ball is wrapped in waterproof paper to insure moisture. Every precaution is taken in packing. No extra charge for packing unless notified. We are not responsible for breakage in transit. Claims should be settled with your carrier immediately. Cost of transportation for all shipments is paid by purchaser. We are unable to give Parcel Post rates as they change so often. All orders are shipped as promptly as possible. During the peak season an order may take a little longer but we try to get them shipped within two weeks after receipt of your order. Customer will be notified by Nursery the date shipment is made.

Please order plants by their name, size, and price. Allow plenty of time for shipping. We accept money orders or check. C.O.D. orders must pay at least 25% of total value before order is shipped. We do not ship on open accounts.

Please state if we may substitute an equally good variety or a larger or smaller size if we are sold out on the size or variety you wish.

We can safely ship plants to points all over the U.S.A. from the 15th of October to the end of May. As our flowering shrubs bloom later than the Southern states you can still order during the months of February, March and April and still get budded plants of some varieties.

Sincerely yours, P. L. VAN DER BOM (Prop. ) Welcome to All Visitors Open 9 A.M. to 7 P.M. Including Sundays Tel.: TUxedo 28838

MAKE EVERLASTING GIFTS FOR ANY OCCASION

The most beautiful of all the broadleaved evergreen blooming plants. Long- lived and more beautiful and valuable with age. Selected varieties offer a long season of bloom. In our climate in Portland they bloom from January to May. In mild winters they start in October.

The Camellia’s popularity is growing every year. Many new introductions have been introduced to the flower world the last few years to keep the collectors of this lovely shrub interested and busy.

Even amateur gardeners tan grow Camellias as they are not difficult to grow. Follow our planting guide for best results.

Camellias are less subject to disease and insects than most shrubs. If scale or aphids attack the leaves this can be easily remedied by spraying tops of leaves and under leaves with Volck, using 1 part Volek to 50 parts water. Always keep weevil bait in your garden as the weevil is an enemy to almost all flowers and shrubs.

Plant Camellias in your yard and enjoy the beauty of the most beautiful ever- green shrub. Cut blooms from your own bushes for lovely, long lasting corsages and also for glamorous table decorations.

Camellias used for hedges are beautiful as well as practical. They save you time and money due to the very small amount of pruning needed to keep them in shape. The habit of their growth determines the best variety to use. There are varieties suitable for the tall narrow hedge, for the wide short hedge, ete. We will be happy to help you make selections for best results.

ESPALIER TRAINED CAMELLIAS

We grow these especially for locations where a wide, bushy growing shrub would be in the way or take up too much room, such as between the house and a walk that has only 2 feet of planting space. Also for around patios, garages, etc. We grow them in all shapes, sizes, forms and varieties. We do not have a large stock of these plants as one Camellia out of 100 is shaped right for this purpose.

$15.00 and $25.00

TREE FORM CAMELLIAS

GRAFTED HIGH UP ON THE STEM so that branches hang down like a weeping cherry tree. This gives the appearance of an umbrella. These are fine to use as entrance pieces planted in tubs, urns or in the ground. Limited stock.

$15.00 and $25.00

WORLD’S WONDER CAMELLIA

One six-foot Camellia grafted with over 100 varieties on one plant which blooms three seasons of the year, fall, winter and spring. This bush starts to bloom in October and blooms until the end of May. Truly a sight to see when in bloom.

PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to furnish multiple-graft Camellias except in combinations of our own selection.

C amellias as Hause Plants

Camellias will thrive and flourish if a cool room which is well lighted by windows can be provided for them, such as a glass enclosed porch, sun porch, or the like. Temperatures should not exceed 55 degrees F or fall below 35 degrees F during the winter months. To maintain a high humidity in the room keep jars of water around. Soil, one part good garden soil to one part peat moss. Fertilizer, 1 tablespoon Vigoro to 1 quart water. Use application in December, a second in February when new growth is beginning and another in April for new growth and bud development. Water: keep moist at all times. Foliage and buds should be sprayed with water at least 4 or 5 times a week, except when in flower. During the summer months plants are placed outdoors in semi-shaded areas. Bury pots in ground so the roots do not dry out. The proper time to repot Camellias, should it become necessary, is imme- diately after flowering. Always allow a good drainage with sand in the bottom of the pot. Grown in this manner Camellias are lovely house plants. Azaleas and Rhododen-

drons can also be grown in this Same way.

Below is a list of the 10 best varieties of Camellias to grow in pots. This list is

’

of course, for the beginner who has never tried raising Camellias in this manner.

Class D Camellias

Class D Camellias are all newer, rare varieties grafted on 2 and 3-year-old roots. The purpose of a grafted plant is to age the plant so that it will grow faster and bloom younger. We do

, this by grafting onto the root of a Camellia that has been grown 2 or 3 years. A grafted plant usually blooms the second year after grafting.

SS, uggedliond Cw Planting

Camellias, Azaleas and Rhododendrons are three of the choicest shrubs that are used in landscapes. They are all evergreen blooming plants. The Camellias bloom first and before they are through blooming the Azaleas start to bloom and the Rhodo- dendrons follow on through, which gives a long season of blooms. The Mollis Azalea loses its leaves in the winter so should be planted among the evergreen shrubs. The dwarf Heathers also fit in nicely with Camellias, Azaleas and Rhododendrons as they bloom summer, winter, spring and fall. Gardeners that have only a limited time to work in their yards will appreciate all of these plants as there is very little pruning, no transplanting if placed properly to start, and very little if any spraying for insects to do. They are also easy to grow as they all prefer the same type acid, loose peat-moss soil. But one should be very careful not to over-fertilize the Azaleas. A teaspoonful of any acid fertilizer each year is plenty. If your climate is hot and dry no doubt you will have a sweet soil. To produce acid soil epsom salts or aluminum sulphate can be used. About one tea-cup per plant and water in well. They like water on their foliage as they breathe through their leaves, which makes them easy to care for as you can easily turn the sprinkler on them for an hour or so once or twice a week, depend- ing of course on your climate. Never allow soil around plants to dry. The old Camellia and Rhododendron blooms are liable to cause a disease so be sure to keep them picked off from plants and do not allow them to lie on the ground. Dispose of them. Do not use them in compost piles.

If these simple instructions are followed all plants should be thrifty, healthy plants that bloom profusely. They should be a joy to all flower lovers the year around.

Planting and Care of Camellias, Agaleas and Rhedodendrous

HERE ARE A FEW SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW WHEN PLANTING CAMELLIAS, RHODODENDRONS AND AZALEAS, AND HELPFUL HINTS ON THEIR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. The best location for planting is governed by your climate. If summer suns are extremely hot for long periods use semi-shaded areas. Allow at least 3 feet space between plant and object. Protect young plants from hot summer sun with lath shade which may be discontinued as plants grow larger. As they grow they get hardier. NOTE—Rhododendrons are classified as to best planting location. Azaleas can be planted 1 to 1% feet apart or farther, bush form 3 feet apart.

2. These plants are easy to grow with the correct soil. They thrive in loose, loamy soil with good drainage. We attain this soil with the use of peat-moss, rotted vegetation or leaf mold or well-rotted sawdust. Sand may be added in hole before planting to insure good drainage to clay soil.

3. Do not over-fertilize. IF you use well-rotted barnyard fertilizer use only on top of ground. Be sure to keep away from Azaleas as they do not like fertilizers. Never use any fertilizers which contain lime as they are acid loving plants. Any acid fertilizer is good. We use Vigoro with very good results. Sprinkle 1 or 2 handfuls around plant on top of ground. A very large plant could use a little more. We fertilize them twice a year, once in early fall and once in early spring. To maintain an acid soil condition sprinkle 1 cup of Epsom salts on top of the ground around each plant. Be sure to water Vigoro and Epsom Salts into the ground. Use sparingly so that fiber roots on top of ground do not get burned from over-fertilizing.

4. The watering of these plants is very important. The fiber roots grow close to the top of the ground and therefore will dry out if not watered during the dry months of the year. The peat moss you put on top of ground around your plants will help to hold the moisture. All three of these shrubs like water on their foliage. Sprinklers can be turned on them every two or three days in hot weather.

If these maintenance instructions are followed you should have healthy plants with good green foliage and normal sized blooms. Remember, the care you give your plants will show.

5. PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS—LEAVE BURLAP ON PLANT AS IT HOLDS ROOTS TOGETHER AND KEEPS WIND FROM WHIPPING PLANT LOOSE IN GROUND. THIS APPLIES TO ALL SHRUBS. DIG HOLE 8 INCHES LARGER THAN BALL OF PLANT. IF YOUR SOIL IS CLAY, FILL IN BOTTOM OF HOLE WITH SAND FOR DRAINAGE. MIX SOIL AND PEAT MOSS OR ROTTED VEGETA- TION TOGETHER WITH HANDFUL OF VIGORO. SET PLANT IN HOLE SO THAT TOP OF BALL IS EVEN WITH THE GROUND. FILL HALF OF THE HOLE AROUND PLANT WITH PEAT MOSS AND SOIL AND LITTLE VIGORO, PACK SOLID. NOW POUR A COUPLE OF BUCKETS OF WATER IN HOLE AND ALLOW TO SETTLE. FINISH FILLING HOLE WITH MIXTURE AND ADD 2 OR 3 INCHES OF PEAT MOSS OR LEAF MOLD ON TOP OF GROUND TO INSURE MOISTURE FOR TOP FEEDER ROOTS. SPRINKLE TOP OF GROUND WELL WHEN FINISHED.

Azalea

Azaleas are fine plants for use in borders as well as single plantings in landscapes. They are wonderfully colorful when in bloom, and also their foliage adds color in the fall. They start to bloom after the Camellia season and many varieties bloom long after the Rhododendrons are through. By using the different varieties of Azaleas you will have a long blooming season. Because of their slow growing habit they can be used prominently for landscaping. Make your home outstanding with modern, beautiful blooming evergreen shrubs.

Low growing evergreen hardy varieties.

Azaleas are very popu- lar wherever grown. Their masses of brilliant blooms enliven spring gardens with a display of beauty that is often breathtaking. The ever- green varieties have attrac- tive foliage throughout the year. The deciduous. sorts (altaclarensis and mollis) are especially valuable for planting in combination with other spring flowers or inter- planting with evergreens of

all kinds.
