The Tropical appearing DOMBEYA, with its lovely 6 to 8-inch tlufty balls of soft pink 
The appreciation of shrubbery among 
home owners and builders has shown an 
ever-increasing tendency in the last ten 
years. In a great measure this awakening in¬ 
terest and desire for fine shrubbery is prob¬ 
ably due to advanced ideas in home build¬ 
ing, tying the garden to the architecture to 
form an integral part of the home. The 
infinite variety of shrubs which can be 
grown in California, not only ones of hand¬ 
some form and foliage, but gorgeous flow¬ 
ering shrubs of all kinds, flowers which not 
only enliven the landscape picture, but 
which may be used in the home in attrac¬ 
tive decorations; and the increasing num¬ 
bers of rare and lovely new varieties which 
we are introducing greatly stimulates the in¬ 
terest in these important features of the 
garden. 
In this catalog we have endeavored to de¬ 
scribe briefly some outstanding novelties, 
and have listed some of the most important 
standard varieties. The latter are generally 
well known so we have omitted lengthy de¬ 
scriptions. It is impossible for us to list all 
of the varieties we grow, and we have many 
fine shrubs not listed. 
SIZES OF SHRUBS 
We have listed medium sized shrubs grown in 
special containers. The 1 and 5 gallon containers 
are tin, weight about 8 lbs. and 50 lbs. respec¬ 
tively. 
Our plants are sturdy, well grown, well shaped, 
not to be compared with ordinary stock usually 
sold in 1-gal. and 5-gal. containers.
