Grewia 
GREWIA CAFFRA. This unusual shrub has a 
very interesting habit of growth, the branches 
being produced on one plane, making it especi¬ 
ally adapted to training against a flat surface. 
It is also a beautiful subject to grow at the edge 
of a stream or pool, or to spread over rocks. It 
blooms freely throughout the spring and sum¬ 
mer with rosy-lilac star-shaped flowers. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.50. 
Hibiscus 
Perhaps no other class of shrubs can 
lend so much color and tropical atmosphere 
to California Cardens as the Hibiscus, the 
Queen of Flowers in Hawaii. They are 
showy plants with attractive large Holly- 
hock-like flowers throughout the year. They 
are somewhat tender, and may be nipped 
by frost in the colder sections but the roots 
are extremely persistent, and new shoots 
will start earl.y in the spring and will bear 
beautiful flowers the same season. One of 
our most colorful shrubs, and should be 
planted much more freely. Requires plenty 
of moisture, and sunshine for best results. 
We have a wonderful collection, includ¬ 
ing many varieties too rare to list.

ties introduced from Hawaii. The very large
