Ornamental shrubs for California. 



No pretensions have been made in compiling the fol- 

 lowing list to include every plant of desirable orna- 

 mental characteristics that will grow in California. 

 Many exotics are being continually introduced, some of 

 which have proved highly satisfactory, while others are 

 little known. The effort has been rather to classify 



under various subheads those shrubs which are undoubt- 

 edly suited for the purpose indicated and which have 

 proved themselves well adapted to the various sections 

 of the state. 



Many of the deciduous ornamental plants commonly 

 employed in the eastern United States for landscape 

 planting have purposely been omitted, as they fail to 

 produce the same wonderful spring-flower effects under 

 the different climatic conditions of California. Only 

 such deciduous shrubs as bloom freely and seem to have 

 become more or less adapted to the drier climate of this 

 state are included. 



Because of the great variety of climatic and soil con- 

 ditions throughout the state, it has become necessary 

 to think of it as divided into three general regions, the 

 interior valleys, the San Francisco Bay district, and 

 that part of southern California in the vicinity of the 

 coast. 



Those kinds marked with a dagger (f) will thrive 

 only in southern California; those with a star (*) will 

 grow in the South and as far north on the coast as the 

 San Francisco Bay region, while such kinds as have 

 no abbreviation attached will probably grow in all the 

 cultivated areas of the state, including the large interior 

 valleys. With one exception, the shrubs in the lists are 

 arranged in the order of their desirability for the pur- 

 poses described by the subhead. By cross-reference, 

 the lists should prove helpful in selecting species of 

 certain characteristics for given climatic and cultural 

 conditions to produce the results desired. 



Group I. Shrubs which are more or less resistant to con- 

 ditions created by full shade. 



While the larger number of these shrubs will produce 

 the best results in half-shade, or even in full sun if 

 given sufficient water, they are more or less tolerant to 

 conditions existing under live oak trees, in courts, or on 

 the north sides of buildings.

Group II. Shrubs which thrive most successfully in half- 

 shade in California. 



Many plants will produce the best results in full sun 

 if favorable moisture conditions can be maintained 

 throughout the summer, but the amount of sun expo- 

 sure that plants in this list will withstand depends largely
