This new group of Eucalypts brings unlimited pos¬ 
sibilities in new forms and colors of these beautiful 
subjects. Their smaller size makes them adaptable to 
all gardens in California where the flowering Eucalypts 
previously introduced have proven to be at home. Not 
heavy feeders, they will not prevent the growing of 
other things, as the large trees do, and they will make 
wonderful specimens, or group and mass plantings.

bright yellow, scarlet, orange, rose, pink, etc., their in¬

Two beautiful new species 
PINK PLEROMA 
PLEROMA ROSEA (Melastoma malabarical. Pink 
Pleroma. Quite similar in general appearance to 
the Princess Flower; the leaves are rich green 
tinged with rose, attractively deep veined. The 
flowers are a beautiful tint of rosy-mauve. The 
shrub is of very shapely form and holds its fol¬ 
iage well, and will grow in practically the same 
locations. $1.00. 
TRAILING PLEROMA 
PLEROMA SCANDENS. Used as a climber, 
trained to a lattice or wall this new shrub makes 
a glorious sight. The deep royal purple flowers 
in profusion, set off by the attractive foliage, 
makes a display that is seldom equalled. It may 
also be used as a shrub if trained to a stake 
while young, and kept trimmed. The flowers are 
the same as P. splendens in miniature except they 
are a little deeper in color and their stamens are 
bright gold making a beautiful contrast with the 
royal purple background. It is a much hardier 
member of the Pleroma family and can be plant¬ 
ed under less favorable conditions. For an abund¬ 
ance of bloom plant in a warm sunny location. 
$1.00. Large specimens, $2.50. 
PENTAS 
OCHNA 
PENTAS CARNEA. South Africa. One of the 
most attractive of the newer shrubs, of compact 
and low rounded form, covered for a long time 
with clusters of light pink, Bouvardia-like flow¬ 
ers. While quite tender, it is valuable as a pot 
plant and for planting out in warm locations in 
the South. 75c. 
CROTALARIA 
Canary Bird Shrub 
For intriguing cut-flower arrangements. 
CROTALARIA AGATIFLORA. East Africa. A 
hardy shrub, bearing for a long period of time 
long racemes of curiously shaped flowers which 
are like green-gold in color—a real Chartreuse 
hue. This color and the shape of the blossoms 
suggest the name "Canary Bird Shrub". The long 
blossom spikes and unusual color invite one to 
create many intriguing floral arrangements, and 
the flowers are so continuously produced that a 
wealth of cut spikes may be had for many 
months. The cutting of the flowers benefits the 
shrub, and keeps it shapely. Plant in a sunny lo¬ 
cation, where it is very easily grown. $1.00; 
Flowering specimens $2.50. 
OCHNA MULTIFLORA. South Africa A me¬ 
dium sized shrub of great worth, for its masses 
of yellow flowers in spring followed by vivid red 
seed capsules exposing glistening black seeds. 
Seed pods finding so much favor in interior dec¬ 
oration, these brightly colored ones will delight 
the florist, amateur or commercial. The plant 
succeeds either in sun or shade, and is quite 
hardy in the South. 75c. 
) 
The Chartreuse-green blossoms of 
the Canary-bird Shrub combined 
with the waxy berries of the Dur- 
anta. Golden Gleam Nasturtiums 
and Mrs. E. P. Thom Roses make a 
symphony in green and gold. Your 
own garden should furnish all of 
this delightful material for floral 
arrangements.
