*CALIFORNIA WILD GRAPE is a very lovely vine, coloring beautifully in autumn. 
Rooted vines, 50 cts. each. 
CARPENTERIA californica is a 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 is a very handsome large-leaved shrub which in 
summer bears large, showy chocolate-colored flowers. All parts of this shrub are pleas- 
antly fragrant. It thrives in a soil moderately moist. Fine strong shrubs 50 cts. each. 
CHAMISO, or Chamisal, is a shrub called Adenostoma fasciciilatim, and well 
worthy any garden. It grows rapidly and will thrive where nothing else will grow in dry 
places. The leaves are 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 as shown 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 llowcrs 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. 
*We have no finer shrub than the HUCKLEBERRY, especially for shady spots. 
Unfortunately it is not easily handled. I can supply finely rooted seedlings, with dirt 
attached, at 25 cts. and 50 cts. each. 
HONEYSUCKLES in two forms arc 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 large leaves, pink flowers, and brilliant red 
berries in winter. 25 cts. each. 
MADRONO is our prettiest broad-leaved evergreen. Difficult to handle except in 
p itted plants. 6-in. pots, I to I >^ feet, $1.25 each; 8-in. pots, 2 to 2yi feet, $1.75 each. 
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 
pretty, the flowers are like heaths, small bells in great numbers of clusters in early spring, 
and the brown berries are ornamental, while the rich brown bark fairly glistens. 
They move easily when properly handled, and I have had wonderfully good success 
wherever I have placed them. The growth i.s cpiick. 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 arc 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. glauca is the Blue Manzanita, with a smooth leaf and decidedly blue tone. One 
of the large-growing sorts. Same prices as the preceding. 
A. nummularia is a delightful novelty, with very small, decidedly shining green 
leaves, and dainty pink flowers; it grows in little bushes 6 inches high like heaths. 
Later it creeps like a carpet, seldom c.Kceeding 2 feet high and oftener less than a foot. 
Not easily moved. 25 els. each, $2.50 per doz.
