S. JUNCEUM NANA. (Dwarf Spanish Broom.) 
This variety originated with us and is now of- 
ered for the first time. A dwarf form of Spanish 
Broom but differs entirely in habit of growth, 
it develops a large number of slender branches, 
which form a fine compact ^lobe-shaped head, 
completely hiding the stem of the plant. Branch- 
lets are clear green and almost devoid of leaves. 
When covered with its bright yellow flowers it 
is a magnificent sight. An excellent plant for 
foreground plantings and for borders. A very 
desirable shrub. Each 
Potted, IV2 to 2 ft $1.50

white, sage-like foliage. Flowers in racemes 
3 to 6 inches long, purple. Each 
Balled, 1 to 2 ft $1.00 
UMBELLULARIA californica. (California Laurel 
or Bay.) Our well-known large native tree 
with dark green, strongly aromatic leaves and 
yellow flowers. We consider this one of the 
handsomest trees in cultivation and believe it 
should be widely planted. Each 
Balled, 2 to 3 ft $1.50 
VERONICA. Shrubs of moderate and usually 
quite compact growth. Flowers in spikes. Ex- 
cellent for shady places, but will thrive per- 
fectly in full sun. The following species are 
natives of New Zealand. Each 100

dium sized and closely set. Flowers large, violet 
blue. An excellent hedge plant.
