WEEPING GIANT SEQUOIA (Sequoia gigan- 
tea pendula). Described on page 3 of 1934 
G. A. Possibly the most unusual appearing 
conifer that can be grown in this climate, par¬ 
ticularly when it attains a fair age. Balled

IV 2-2 ft. $2.00; pot grown 1-1% ft. $1.00. 
IRISH YEW (Taxus baccata fastigiata). 
Briefly described on page 3 of 1934 G. A. as 
it as almost universally known and recognized. 
We repeat that it is well entitled to a place 
among the garden aristocrats. Balled 5 %-6

PYRAMIDAL AMERICAN ARBORVITAE (Thuya occidentalis pyramidalis). Now 
that all Italian Cypress are apparently doomed to an early death from the Cypress 
disease, this tree with its erect narrow habit is all the more entitled to consideration. 
It not only is immune to Cypress disease but always was a better formal tree than 
Italian Cypress anyway. Described and illustrated on page 3 of 1934 G. A. Balled 
8-9 ft. $8.00, 7-8 ft. $6.00, 6-7 ft. $5.00, 5-6 ft. $4.00 4-5 ft. $3.00, 3-4 ft. $2.25; 
gal. can 1-1% ft. $1.00. 
BROAD LEAVED EVERGREENS 
RED ABELIA (Abelia floribunda). Illustrated on front cover of this booklet. One 
of the very best introductions of recent years. Wherever climate permits the growth 
of other Abelias, this new one will rapidly acquire the greatest popularity as it ‘‘has 
everything”! Habit spreading with erect shoots; maximum height unknown as yet 
but probably not over 4 feet; leaves evergreen, small and handsome; flowers enormous 
compared with other Abelias, trumpet-shaped and from 1% to 2 inches long (illustra¬ 
tion is slightly under natural size); color bright rose red. The main crop of flowers is 
in spring when the entire plant is loaded with an unbelievable profusion of showy 
blossoms proving the appropriateness of the name “floribunda”. This continues for 
some time; note the cluster of half developed buds at right of cut. It blooms moderately 
through summer with another good crop of flowers in autumn. Prices for plants from 
4 in. pots, selected plants, $1.25 each; regular grade, $1.00 each. 
WARTY BARBERRY (Berberis verruculosa). Why such an unpleasant name should 
have been wished on this delightful shrub is more than we can see. If it has warts 
they are not in evidence! Of slow growth and makes a compact shrub. Leaves small 
and holly-like, very silvery beneath. Some plants take on a strong bronze hue as 
winter approaches; others show many leaves colored brilliant red. Bears a good 
crop of golden yellow flowers in early spring. Balled 1-1% ft. $1.25; pot grown 
6-8 in. 50c. 
BORONIA elatior. This charming little plant seems to have no common name. Foliage 
is very finely cut and also very fragrant. Flowers are produced very profusely over 
a long period in early summer. They are rose colored and look exactly like rather 
large rose-colored heather blooms. In fact the plant could be mistaken for a heather, 
but is totally unrelated and neither requires nor likes acid soil. It is very dainty 
and attractive. Pot grown 1-1% ft. 50c.
