ground so should always be sold in pots. I strongly recommend pruning back the 
growth which has flowered in May, not only to keep them in good form but to prevent 
the heavy setting of seed' which tends to weaken the plants and is not beautiful, as the 
pods are black. 
Prices: Pot grown plants of all varieties except Pomona are small and 85c each; Pomona 
plants are much larger and are $1.00 each. All should bloom this spring. 
GOLDENLEAF ELEAGNUS (Eleagnus pungens maculata). The common Eleagnus 
with slight variegation around the edges is common and not particularly esteemed. 
This is decidedly different as all the central part of leaves is golden yellow with green 
margin. It is very difficult to propagate so is rare and no large stock available at 
this time. Pot grown 6-8 in. 60c. 
EUCALYPTUS, Red Flowered. Very recently quite a number of new dwarf growing 
Eucalyptus have been discovered in Western Australia and are just becoming available 
for California gardens. Most of them are shrubs or small trees with brilliant flowers. 
Only a few kinds available this season, but we shall have many additional kinds 
another year. They are well worth watching. Kinds available now: 
E. erythronema. Small tree with white bark bearing bright red flowers in droop¬ 
ing clusters. This is not one of the newest but is good. Gal. cans 4-5 ft. $1.25; 
pot grown 2-3 ft. 75c. 
E. erythrocorys. Shrubby; huge red flowers. Pot grown 114-2 ft. 75c. 
E. macrocarpa. Small tree with glaucous foliage and enormous red flowers. Pot 
grown I-IV 2 ft. 75c. 
E. pyriformis. Small tree to about 15 ft. which bears a profuse crop of extremely 
large flowers, four inches or more wide, scarlet, tipped yellow. Pot grown IV 2-2 
ft. $1.00. 
E. tetraptera. Small tree or large shrub with very leathery, dark leaves bearing 
large, brilliant red flowers. Pot grown 114-2 ft. $1.00. 
E. torquata. Rather vigorous grower making a small tree with usual type of 
foliage. Flowers of good size, bright red overlaid with gold. Pot grown 1-114 
ft. 75c. 
FREMONTIA. One of our very good natives which quickly makes a large shrub or 
small tree and covers itself in spring with large yellow flowers. The clear yellow type 
is usually called F. californica; where flowers are yellow shaded orange they are 
called F. mexicana. There seems to be no other difference. Prices: F. californica gal. 
cans 3 ft. $1.00. F. mexicana pot grown 1-114 ft. 50c. 
HYMENANTHERA CRASSIFOLIA. A very interesting and odd little new rock gar¬ 
den shrub. Branches grow irregularly; leaves are small; flowers inconspicuous but fol¬ 
lowed by small berries like miniature bird eggs, white, veined blue. Pot grown 8-12 in. 
75c. 
PERXY HOLLY (Ilex pernyi). We again 
call attention to this gem among the Hollies. 
Small, slow growing and dainty in every 
way. Leaves very small and prickly. The 
female plants bear a profuse crop of light, 
bright red berries. Hardly known in the 
gardens as yet, but we cannot recommend it 
too highly. Grafted female plants; field 
grown, and ready to bear, 10-15 in. $2.25; 
pot grown, should berry by another year, 
6-8 in. $1.50. 
JAPANESE HOLLIES. A few years ago 
we imported seed of several Japanese Hol¬ 
lies, all of which bear red berries, but none 
of them has prickly leaves. We can now 
offer fair size plants, but have not been 
able to see fruit on any as yet so descrip¬ 
tions are meager until we learn more by- 
actual experience.
