BRUNFELSIA floribunda (B. calycina). This shrub is really a wonder. Foliage is 
about the size and shape of California Privet. Growth slow and generally upright. 
The flowers are about the size and shape of Vinca and are borne in the greatest pro¬ 
fusion through spring and early summer with a scattering crop the rest of the year 
except during the cold months. When the buds are fully opened the flowers are deep 
violet. Each flower lasts about a week and in this period slowly changes to pure 
white with the result that, when in bloom the shrub always shows violet, lavender and 
white flowers at the same time. This would be plenty, but “for good measure” it has 
a delightfully rich and powerful fragrance which will perfume an entire garden. 
Curiously the fragrance intensifies as the flower lightens. Only two large plants of 
Brunfelsia are known in the state and one of them is near Palo Alto where it went 
through the “big freeze” of December 1932 so it is surely hardy enough for this 
district. It is of rather slow growth and will probably remain scarce for a good many 
years. Gallon can 2-2% ft. $1.75, l%-2 ft. $1.50. 
PARNAY COTONEASTER (Cotoneaster parnayi). To the description on page 5 of 
1934 G. A. we can add that the great merit of this beautiful Cotoneaster is amply con¬ 
firmed by the opinion of all who have seen our specimen plants which are now loaded 
with masses of large glossy brilliant red berries that keep in good condition for 
several months. This will unquestionably become the most popular of all the strong 
growing Cotoneasters as it becomes better known. Balled 2-2% ft. $1.25, l%-2 ft. $1.00; 
pot grown 2-3 ft. 50c, l%-2 ft. 40c. 
GARLAND DAPHNE (Daphne cneorum). This delightful little plant is low and slow 
growing; best for small beds and a particular favorite in rock gardens. It is so pre¬ 
cocious that very small plants may be relied upon for clusters of rose colored, very 
fragrant blossoms. Leaves small and whole appearance very dainty. Balled 12-15 in. 
$1.50, 10-12 in. $1.25, 6-9 in. $1.00. 
ROSE QUEEN DAPHNE. This is a distinct variety of the old favorite Pink Daphne 
of California gardens. Leaves are dark green with no variegation and noticeably 
larger than in the common yellow-edged form. Flowers have the usual rich fragrance, 
are deep rose outside, light pink within and produced in much larger clusters than those 
of the usual form. Also the plant is of more compact habit. Very fine. Balled 10-12 
in. $1.75. 
ENGLISH HOLLY (Ilex aquifo- 
lium). Several varieties are de¬ 
scribed on page 5 of 1934 G. A. We 
particularly recommend the Van 
Tol variety which starts bearing 
very young. We have plants only 
3 or 4 inches tall that are full of 
berries! We are planning to dis¬ 
play a magnificent specimen of this 
rare and beautiful Holly at the 
coming Oakland Spring Garden 
Show. Balled l%-2 ft. $2.00, 1-1% 
ft. $1.50; gallon can or pot grown 
8-12 in. 80c. All plants of this 
will be supplied carrying berries 
if customer wishes.
