For a shady, moist place. 35c each. 
YUCCA filamentosa — Among hardy plants 
there is nothing more effective and strik¬ 
ing for isolated positions on the lawn or 
on dry banks where few other plants 
will thrive. Its broad sword-like ever¬ 
green foliage and immense branching 
spikes of drooping creamy-white flowers, 
rising to height of 6 ft. or more, render 
it a bold and handsome subject wherever 
placed. 35c, 50c and 75c each.

ZAUSCHNERIA *californica — An excellent 
plant for rock walls, or large boulders, 
where it receives full sun and the foli¬ 
age may hang over rock or ledge. Makes 
large flat masses of grey, downy foliage, 
smothered from Sept, to Nov. with long, 
tubular flowers of a brilliant scarlet. 
Very drought resistant, it thrives in any 
well-drained soil. 35c each. 
*latifolia — Of more upright habit, the 
flower stalks ascending from 12 to 18 
inches before bending over again. While 
foliage is not as attractive as that of Z. 
californica, it being a bright green, it is 
more floriferous. 35c each. 
* Alpines or Rock plants.
