EVANS GARDENS 
SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA 
FOREWORD 
We have been for many years collecting plants and seeds from all quarters 
of the world, and about a year and a half ago comercialized this collection. 
The plants offered in this catalogue are many of them new introductions, or 
comparatively new, or without being new introductions, possess outstanding merit 
and beauty which would entitle them to their place in any garden or grounds where 
there is room for them. 
We are constantly adding to our collection, but do not list these new subjects 
until we have had an opportunity of trying them out and learning something about 
them. We are always glad to answer any questions as to the habits, treatment 
and comparative hardiness of plants we offer, and we do not hesitate to tell our 
customers whether or not plants they desire will be likely to do well and be at home 
with them. 
Large flowering specimens of most of the plants described can be seen in 
bloom in our grounds. A visit to these gardens will be of great interest to all plant 
lovers, as there is always something unusual in bloom. 
We also grow and can supply many items not listed in this catalogue. 
Prices: 
Prices quoted are for strong, well-grown, bushy plants, in pots, unless other¬ 
wise stated. We have a considerable stock of plants available in larger sizes, name¬ 
ly in four and five gallon containers, tubs, boxes, etc. 
Shipping: 
Small plants usually are shipped in paper pots and large plants with a small 
ball of earth wrapped in burlap or paper. Plants will be shipped with bare root 
where so ordered, and where the nature of the plant permits. Unless otherwise 
specified, plants are shipped by auto express in Southern California, and by railway 
express to other points. 
Wholesale: 
Prices of plants in small containers in wholesale quantities will be quoted upon 
written request. 
LANDSCAPE GARDENERS 
We have connections with landscape gardeners who are among the most ex¬ 
perienced and competent in their profession, and we are always glad to arrange for 
appointments upon request.
