PETUNIAS. One of the best plants to with¬ 
stand our warm summers; they grow and 
bloom without much water and, in fact, 
flower to perfection in deep rich soil with 
water put on by irrigation. Ruffled single 
Giant of California, in pots, 10c each; $1.00 
per dozen. Double, in pots, 25c each, $2.50 
per dozen. 
California Privet 
PRIVET. We carry three varieties of Privet. 
The larger leaved Ligustrum Californicum 
and the small leaved Nepalense, and the 
Golden Leaved. All make a nice hedge. 
Three or four months of the year they are 
covered with white blossoms resembling the 
Lilac. Green leaved, 35c dozen, $2.00 per 
100; Golden leaved, 35c dozen, $2.00 per 
100 . 
HARDY PHLOXES. Among hardy peren¬ 
nial plants no class is of more importance 
than the Phloxes, succeeding in almost any 
soil and position, and flowering through a 
long season; and while they will continue in 
good condition and flower freely for many 
years without attention, yet they respond 
quickly to and are improved by liberal cul¬ 
tivation. Leading strains, 35c each; $3.50 
per dozen. 
PYRETHRUM AUREUM. Makes a nice 
golden border. Per dozen, 35c; $2.50 per 
100 . 
PRIMULA MALACOIDES. A striking new 
variety. The flowers are borne around the 
central stem in dense whorls with several 
of these to each stem. It reminds one of a 
gigantic form of Primula Forbesei, but with 
brighter colored and much larger blooms. 
This handsome species will be of great 
value for shady rockery planting or for 
growing in pots as an ornamental flowering 
plant. Price, each, 20c; per dozen, $2.00. 
SALVIA SPLENDENS. Valuable plants for 
summer flower beds, throwing up the most 
desirable scarlet flowers. Plants out of 
flats, 50c per dozen; in 3-inch pots, 15c 
each, or $1.50 per dozen. 
SANTOLINA. See page 45. 
SHASTA DAISY. Immense bloomer; white 
flower with yellow center; plants are peren¬ 
nial and bloom through the year. One of 
the best plants for cut flowers or flower 
beds. 50c per dozen. Plants in pots, 15c

folia, the perennial variety with blue flowers.

one-half the height of the Latifolia and a 
small dwarf perennial variety with pink

dwarf pink varieties for borders are 50c per

dozen; 100, $2.50. 
VERBENA. This plant and the Petunia are 
certainly the leading ones for planting flower 
beds, parking and also used in covering 
banks where it would be hard to grow 
lawns. Verbenas, like Petunias, do better 
in rich soil and by sub-irrigation. 10c each, 
$1.00 per dozen. 
VIOLETS. Blue California and Princess va¬ 
rieties, 50c per dozen.

“Periwinkle” in pink and white flowering 
varieties. Five-inch pot plants, 25c each. 
VINCA MAJOR. One of the best plants for 
covering banks and for planting in shady 
places where a lawn will not thrive. It is 
one of the hardiest vining plants in exist¬ 
ence, and will stand extremes of heat and 
cold better than any other border or bed¬ 
ding plant When planted for beds or bor¬ 
ders it should be planted 10 inches apart 
Price, 15c each; 2 for 25c; $1.00 per dozen. 
Roselle 
This sun-loving annual should find a place in every home vegetable garden. The pods or fruits of a 
deep rich red are valuable for making jelly. They are produced the first season from seed and are very 
easily grown. The entire fruit or pod including the calyx is cooked to obtain the liquor that is used for 
making the jelly. The whole plant is of a mucilaginous nature which makes it so valuable for this purpose. 
The jelly is a rich deep red when the Roselles are used alone and of a lighter red when the Roselles are 
mixed with apples. They can also be mixed with guavas and other fruits, making a delicious and attractive 
jelly. This plant is not only useful, but is very ornamental as well and will greatly beautify the home veg¬ 
etable garden as it makes very attractive borders and a good backing for smaller plants. It can be sown 
almost any time of the year. Sow in boxes and transplant. Per package, 10c; per oz., 50c.
