CARPENTERIA californicaisa superb evergreen shrub, with olive-colored and shaped 
foliage and pure white, large flowers suggesting the mock orange. It is one of the finest 
shrubs in any list. In 6-inch pots, 2 to 3 feet high, $1 each. 
*CALYCANTHUS occidentalis. The Sweet-scented Shrub is a fine plant for shade 
and moist ground. All parts of the plant are very fragrant, and the large, reddish flowers 
quite pretty. Well rooted plants, 50 cts. each. 
CHAMISO, or Chamisal, is a shrub called Adenostoma fasciculaliim, and well worthy 
any garden. It grows rapidly and will thrive where nothing else will grow in dry places. 
The leaves arc more like pine needles, and the broad panicles of white flowers are very 
decorative, either on the bush or cut. Fine seedlings a foot or so high at 25 cts. each, 
$2 per doz., $12.50 per 100. 
CLEMATIS in two varieties are among our finest vines. C. lasiantha has few and 
large white flowers. C. ligusticifolia has large clusters of small flowers, and both have the 
highly ornamental seed-pods like in the illustration. 25 cts. each. 
CORNUS Nuttallii. See Dogwood, below. 
CURRANT, Flowering, is one of the finest shrubs for early spring bloom. It can be 
trained into a low-headed tree. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each. 
We have two fine DOGWOODS, one with very large flowers of pure white, more 
like Magnolias, and the other with handsome leaves and clusters of small flowers. The 
large-flowered Dogwood is Cornus Nuttallii and is rather hard to grow in the garden. 
I have fine, thrifty nursery plants, i to 2 feet, at 50 cts. each. 
*The small Dogwood is Cornus californica, and very easily grown and satisfactory. 
The red bark in winter is an ornamental feature worth considering. Fine nursery- 
grown trees 2 feet high at 50 cts. each. 
*I have also a large, white-flowered, creeping Dogwood at 50 cts. each. 
HONEYSUCKLES in two forms are native with us. Lonicera hispidula makes a 
good ground-cover, while L. interrupta, the 
Chaparral Honeysuckle, has yellow flowers 
and bright red berries; L. californica has 
larger leaves, pink flowers and brilliant red 
berries in winter. 25 cts. each. 
MADRONO is our prettiest broad-leaved 
evergreen. Difficult to handle except in 
potted plants. 6-in. pots, i to feet, $1.25 
each; 8-in. pots, 2 to 2>^ feet, $1.75. 
MANZANITAS are splendid shrubs for 
any garden. Their habit varies greatly. 
Some creep along the ground in mats from 6 
inches to a foot high. Others form low 
mounds a few feet high, while still others 
make mounds like round-headed bushes, often 
6 to 10 feet high, but capable of going to 20 
feet in height. The leaves are evergreen and 
jjretty, the flowers are like heaths, small bells 
in great numbers of clusters in early spring, 
and the brown berries arc ornamental, while 
the rich brown bark fairly glistens. They 
move easily when properly handled, and I 
have had wonderfully good success wher- 
ever I have placed them. The growth is quick. 
Late February is the best time to ship. 
They prefer sun but stand shade, and grow 
vigorously in either place. Best planted 
in strong groups. Especially good to cover 
bare, waste spots. Plant 8 to 10 feet apart. 
All are Arctostaphylos. 
A. pungens, the medium green bush of 
the northern Coast Range is not at all sticky, 
and one of the best, from 6 feet to very large. 
Flowers white or shaded pink. 35 cts. 
and 50 cts. each, for nursery grown. 25 cts. 
for collected. Special price per 100. 
A. nummularia is a delightful novelty, 
with very small, decidedly shining green
