What fixes the market 

 value of Pansies? 



We say it's the size, in America the size, form, 

 substance, and the wide range of rich colorings 

 of the blooms. Are we right? That is why Mas- 

 todon Pansies in bloom sell for the highest prices 

 on the Western Continent. We are the origina- 

 tors of Mastodon Pansies, and growers of pansies 

 exclusively. Write for color plate catalogue.

heavy, add sand or gravel, but this is 

 not usually necessary in the foothill 

 country, as the decomposed granite is 

 sufficient. Leave a little depression 

 around the plants and give them a good 

 soaking of water, enough to reach the 

 lowest roots. Then, before the surface 

 has become too dry, stir well with a 

 hand fork or cultivator and lay the 

 mulch on, leaving the depression around 

 the plants, to convey the water where 

 it is needed. Never allow them to get 

 dry; sprinkle the mulch every day to 

 make the atmosphere around the plants 

 as moist as possible and they will thrive 

 in the full sun. The temperature does 

 not matter, as the coleus thrives in 

 greenhouses where the heat often ex- 

 ceeds 100 degrees. 



As to other dwarf plants, we have 

 the alternantheras and iresines, verbe- 

 nas, ageratums and mesembryanthe- 

 mums, all of which do finely here. 

 Dwarf roses are splendid for covering 

 the ground and making a good show. 

 Zinnias of the dwarfer varieties, lin- 

 ums, godetias, clarkias, summer chrys- 

 anthemums and Agathsea coelestis are 

 only a few among the many that do 

 well as border plants. 



One of the finest of all dwarf shrubs 

 for southern California is the golden 

 yellow flowered Linum trigynum or 

 Reinwardtia trigynum of botanists. It 

 18 a little liable to be troubled with red 

 ?pider, but may be kept clean by spray- 

 ing freely with clear water. There are 

 several of the pittosporums that are 

 suitable, notably P. undulatum, P. euge- 

 Jioides, P. Tobira and its variegated 

 lorms, and P. nigricans. Several myr- 

 tles do well here; so, also, do the Japan- 

 ese azaleas, but not Azalea Indica, 

 Which is useless in the hot sun. Veron- 

 icas are fine, especially V. speciosa and 

 ^- imperialis. Duranta Plumieri is a 

 "l^ely blue flowering shrub, thriving 

 J'^ell and growing rapidly; a splendid 

 ^ompanion for it is Streptosolen Jame- 

 tahi^' „^®^®r8^ hypericums do well, no- 

 aoiy H. Moserianum; also the Spanish

 aeath-hke Fabiana imbricata and the
