Purdy's California FloM^eriiift Plants 
33 
VVc have two fine DOGWOODS, one 
with very large flowers of pure white, more 
like magnoHas, 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 Califor- 
nica, 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 too easy to handle. 
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 3'cllow 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. Very difficult to handle 
except in potted plants. Pots at from 75 cts. 
to $1.50, with freight prepaid. 
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 lca\-es are evergreen and pretty, 
the flowers are like heaths, small bells in great numbers of clusters in carl>- spring, and 
the brown berries are ornamental, while the rich brown bark fairly glistens. They 
move easily when properly handled, and 1 have had wonderfully good success wherever 
I have placed them. The growth is quick. Late P'cbruary is the best time to ship. 
They prefer sun but stand shade, and grow vigorously in cither 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 nurser\- grown, 25 cts. for collected. Special price per 100. 
A. glauca is the Blue .Manzanila, with a smooth leaf and decided!)' blue liine. One 
of the large-growing sorts. Same jirices as the preceding. 
A. nummularia is a delightful novelty, with ^^ery 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 exceeding 2 feet high and oftener less than a foot. 
Not easily moved. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
A. Stanfordiana is a shrub seldom over 3 feet high, and flowering at 8 inches. The 
small leaves are a bright, almost grass, green and the flowers are a decided bright pink.
