garden and park plants. Gigantic, glossy, crenate leaves in abundance. Height, 
three to four feet. Improves in beauty and effectiveness from year to year. Rare. 
Fine field-grown plants, each, 75c; two, $1; five, $3. 
ACANTHUS MOLLIS LATIFOLIA, EIGHT FEET ACROSS 
A New Lippia (Lippia Canescens var.) — "The Dixie" 
The Lippia, commonly grown in California, though useful for some purposes, 
is too coarse, straggling and unsightly for lawns. Therefore, several years ago 
I requested my Chilean collector to send seeds from the high Andes mountains. 
From this seed one plant was obtained which was of a beautiful green, compact, 
and low growing, and in every respect a delightful prize for dry climate lawns! 
Easily grown from the tiniest bits, yet it never becomes a nuisance like Bermuda 
grass. It stands sun and tramping. Very valuable for lawns, parking along 
streets and avenues, and for school and golf grounds. This new Lippia solves 
the problem of lawn making in hot, dry climates. April, May and June are the 
best months for planting. Lippia will not thrive where ground freezes over one 
inch in depth. Plant lxl foot apart and water like ordinary lawn for four or 
live weeks, after which it needs very little attention. Prices: 288 sets for each 
square rod, $1.50. 25% discount on 1000 sets or more. 
Iris Longipetala "Radiata" 
An improved maritime Iris which, from single roots spreads slowly but very 
surely, making a solid mass of dark green glossy leaves two feet in height, which 
form a permanent challenge to water washing currents on banks and in fields. 
The large, pale bluish flowers are ornamental. Never becomes a weed. The 
plants make fine borders for shrubbery. Each, 25c; ten, $2; hundred, $18. 
The New Calla "Fragrance" 
This remarkable variety of the common white calla originated on my grounds 
several years ago, but has not been offered of late as the slock of plants had run 
too low. Medium to dwarf. Enormous bloomer, and instead of the disagreeable 
odor of the ordinary calla, this has a pleasing perfume. Small bulbs, each, 30c; 
three, 75c; ten, $2.
