PHOTINIA arbutifolia (Heteromeles arbutifolia.) 
(Toyon; Christmas Berry; California Holly.) 
California. (S.) Our well-known native shrub, 
the glory of our hills and canyons in early 
winter when loaded with its brilliant red 
berries. Thrives admirably under cultivation 
and with good care grows very quickly. 
P. arbutifolia. (Yellow Berries.) New. A variety 
of the above with lemon yellow berries. 
Each 
Potted, 2 to 3 ft $1.25 
PITTOSPORUM. Shrubs or trees mostly natives 
of Australia and New Zealand. In several 
species the flowers, while small, are handsome. 
The species P. eugenioides, nigricans and undu- 
latum are highly valued as hedge plants. All 
thrive well in California. 
Each 
Balled, 3 to 4 ft $2.00 
Balled, 2 to 3 ft 1.50 
P. crassifoHum. (S.) 30 feet. Large or small 
tree. Leaves colored same as olive, dark green 
above, silvery beneath, but are two to three 
inches long and very downy. Flowers wine- 
colored. Very valuable on account of its great 
resistance to wind, even close to the coast. 
P. eugenioides. (S. or T.) 40 feet. If grown 
singly will make quite a good-sized, handsome 
tree, but more often used in hedges. Leaves 
are bright yellowish green, medium-sized in 
hedges, but rather large in the tree form; 
margins wavy. Flowers clustered, yellow and 
fragrant. 
P. rbombifolium. Pyramidal tree with light green 
shiny foliage. The bright orange berries are 
very attractive and persist throughout the 
winter, 
P. tenuifolium (P, nigricans.) (S. or T.) 40 feet. 
Growth about the same as P. eugenioides, 
whether as a specimen or in hedges. Leaves 
smaller and darker green. Particularly re- 
markable for its black flowers. 
P. undulatum. (Victorian Box.) 40 feet. Makes 
a handsome, round-headed tree, or can be 
trained as hedge. Leaves rich green, longer 
than any of above, wavy-margined and taper- 
pointed. Flowers yellowish white, extremely 
fragrant, particularly at night. Makes a beau- 
tiful, free-flowering tree and is one of the very 
handsomest hedge plants for sections where it 
is sufficiently hardy. 
SPECIAL VARIETIES Each 
Balled, 2 to 3 ft „ $1.75 
Balled, 1 to 2 ft 1.25^ 
P, tobira. (Japanese Pittosporum.) (S.) Forms: 
a dense, globular shrub of good size or can even 
be trained into a small tree. Leaves dark green 
above, lighter beneath, broadest toward the 
end. Flowei's numerous, pure white and fra- 
gi'ant. Very showy in bloom, as the flowers are 
larger than those of the other species and borne 
at the ends of the shoots. 
P. tobira variegatum. Identical with preceding 
except that foliage is strongly and conspicu- 
ously variegated with white. One of the very 
handsomest shrubs in our collection. 
POLYGALA dalmaisiana. Garden hybrid. (S.) 
One of the most continuous blooming shrubs 
in our collection, as it is never without flowers 
and most of the time is nearly covered. Forms 
a dense, globular shrub of moderate growth, 
with very slender branches. Flowers magenta 
pink, tipped with a little white brush. 
Each 
Potted, 1 to 2 ft $1.00 
PRUNUS. A very large and greatly diversified 
genus, including many of our commonest fruit 
trees such as plum, cherry, peach, apricot, etc., 
and also many very valuable ornamental trees 
and shrubs. The evergreen kinds described 
below include our native wild cherries and the 
Cherry Laurels, all characterized by and de- 
sirable for their fine foliage. 
P. ilictfolia. (California Evergreen Cherry; Holly- 
Leaved Cherry; Islay.) (T. or S.) Well-known 
native shrub or tree with very glossy, prickly 
margined leaves, resembling those of English 
Holly. One of the very handsomest hedge 
plants, but of rather slow growth. 
P. ilicifoHa integrifolia. (Catalina Cherry.) (T,) 
A variety of the preceding with considerably 
larger and more pointed leaves, usually with- 
out the prickly edges. Grows more rapidly.
