CORRECTION OF ERRORS. 
Page 47—In paragraph ‘‘Our Seedling Amaryllis,’’ read 50 at 100 rates. 
Page 12—‘‘Gay and Festive Poppies,’’ for remainder see p. 14 (Printer’s error). 
Page 32-33—‘‘Lily Dahlia,’’ should also be named ‘‘Dahlia Imperialis.”’ 
Page 37—In description of Hydrangea, read large instead of long leaves. 
INDIVIDUALITY IN GARDENS. 
Give individuality to your gardens and grounds, try new things; let your place represent your 
individuality, your own taste and preferences. Too often in California one place is the counter- 
part of another except in the lay of the land and the arrangement of trees, shrubs and lawn. As 
a rule conventionality reigns supreme. With thousands of varieties of tropical, semi-tropical, 
trees and vines, bulbs and perennials, and plants from every clime, most striking and beautiful 
results can be obtained. We should plant more varieties of rare palms, and bamboos, more grace- 
ful Conifers, more brilliant flowering shrubs and trees, more of the fine classes of flowers and 
ferns, more brilliant colors, more cactus gardens, and rare and interesting vegetation of all kinds, 
making veritable botanic gardens of our cities and towns in the diversity of plant life in the 
homes of our people.
