Gardening in Californi 



CHOISYA TERNATA. 



Choisya ternata. 



One of our best fc Winter- 

 blooming shrubs, having ternate 

 leaves and white sweet-scented 

 flowers. It should have a place 

 even in the smallest collection, 

 being of dwarf, bushy habit and 

 very free-flowering. It grows in 

 any good garden soil. 



Propagate by cuttings, in 

 cool frame, put into half sand 

 half leaf-soil in early May or as 

 soon as the blooming season is 

 over, or in August after the 

 young wood is half-ripe. 



CISTUS (Rock Rose). 



A genus of elegant free- 

 flowering small shrubs with 

 a large handsome flower 

 resembling a single rose. 

 This charming genus has a 

 large number of species 

 which should be more com- 

 monly seen in our gardens 

 as they are of easy culture 

 and require little water for 

 their development. Being 

 natives of the coast of the 



Mediterranean, they are peculiarly adapted for introduction into 

 California.
