EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
BELOPERONE—BALLED SIZE 
Beloperone 
BELOPERONE TOMENTOSA. One of the 
most useful, yet unusual shrubs in our en¬ 
tire collection. It succeeds in the full sun, 
even in very warm summers and will also 
grow well in almost full shade. The showy 
flower spikes are composed of copper- 
bronze bracts enclosing tubular cream, 
spotted purple flowers; the shrub is in 
bloom the year ’round. The flowers make 
most interesting decorations when cut. 
Beloperone makes a splendid pot plant, 
outdoors in Southern California, in window 
boxes or conservatory where winters are 
cold. 4-inch pots 35e; 1-gal. containers 
50c; 5-gal. containers or balled $1.50.

ful dwarf evergreen Barberry, forming compact

leaved Japanese Barberry. The foliage of this 
beautiful shrub is rich lustrous bronzy purple; 
as the season advances this color becomes even 
more brilliant and gorgeous and in the fall 
changes to shades of vivid orange, scarlet and 
red. The cut sprays of this colorful variety are 
very beautiful in vases, alone or with other 
flowers. A fine shrub reaching 4 ft. unpruned, 
but can be trimmed into a beautiful low hedge.

Bouvardia

with slender branches and clusters of tubular 
flowers, flaring at the edge. It should be grown 
in our gardens much more than it is for cut- 
flowers, as they are very decorative and lasting.

coral, rose and white.

Brunfelsia 
A Rare New Blue-Flowered Shrub, from South America. 
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA. A beautiful shrub that will soon come into wide 
use in California, withstanding several degrees of frost. It is of medium growth, with 
elliptic, rich dark green leaves about 3 inches long. The flowers are shaped some¬ 
what like a Vinca but larger, about 1 Vz inches across, rich violet in color, changing 
with age through lilac to almost pure white. It blooms throughout the year, having 
a tremendous crop of flowers in spring, in great clusters. These flowers are highly 
perfumed, and cut sprays, which last well in water, remind one of giant clusters of 
lilacs, both in color and fragrance. The Brunfelsia makes a free flowering pot plant, 
and may be grown in sunny window boxes and pots, or as a conservatory plant. In 
California it makes a beautiful specimen outdoors, and an exceedingly attractive 
hedge. 4-inch pots 75c; 1-gal. containers $1.25; bushy specimens in 12-inch 
boxes $3.50.

lilac-like blossoms, many of which are frag¬ 
rant. Bushes are rather straggly in growth,

pretty blossoms, which are very desirable 
for cut-flowers.

winter. Branches slightly pendulous, foliage 
grayish green. 
BUDDLEIA MAGNIFICA PRECHTLII. Another 
fine new Buddleia, and one of the very best for

ably the largest of any Buddleia. A fine com¬

er than the common Magnifica. 1-gal. containers,
