Winning Hydrangeas 
BOUFFANTE 
This lovely variety has won the admira¬ 
tion and acclaim of all who have seen our 
displays at the Spring Garden Shows. It 
is not only outstanding for the delightful, 
refreshing new color—clear salmon-pink, 
but for the immense size and beautiful 
form of the flower-heads and the prettily 
notched petals of the florets. Not until 
this year have we had enough of the plants 
to list them. 6-inch pots, $1.00. 
CELESTE 
As a companion to Bouffante, this beau¬ 
tiful flower is a gem. It is a beautiful 
clear blue when grown in acid soil, the 
tone varying according to the amount of 
acidity, from soft lavender to rich mauve 
purple. Strong plants in 6-inch pots, $1.00.

vary from lavender to deep purple depending on 
the degree of acidity.

Lantanas 
These Dwarf, compact types of Lantanas 
are a great improvement over the old sprawl¬ 
ing or semi-climbing type. They are es¬ 
pecially desirable for bedding or borders, 
where they furnish brilliant color the year 
’round. Because of their habit of growth 
they require much less pruning, and are 
more constantly in bloom, and the flower 
trusses are larger than the older sorts. 
They grow and bloom all the year in 
Southern California and make beautiful 
showy pot plants and window boxes in 
colder regions, where they are also very 
useful as summer bedding plants.

TRAILING LANTANA 
LANTANA SELLOWIANA. (delicatissima) . The

ing baskets. Visitors to California always exclaim 
over the colorful sight of great patches of these 
flowers, expressing a desire to take some home. 
They are easily grown in pots or boxes in locali¬ 
ties where the winters are cold.
