For shady places. 



Many plants that grow freely in the direct rays of the 

 sun in middle California, require shade in southern 

 California and must be protected from the fierce sum- 

 mer heat of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys. 

 Therefore, plant them under lath-houses or in the 

 shade of trees or on the north side of a house.
