Abelias—Old and New 
Abelia grandillora. 6 ft. Zero. California 
plantings would look bare without the Abelia, 
for its small, shiny, bronze-green foliage and 
arching stems clothed with clusters of little 
fragrant rosy-white flowers, borne almost con¬ 
tinually, make it exceedingly valuable for mass 
or foundation planting in either full sun or 
partial shade. Hardy anywhere. 5-gal. con¬ 
tainers, $1.50; gal. containers, 35c. 
Abelia Schumannii. 5 ft. Zero. This new 
Abelia from China is somewhat similar to A. 
grandiflora, but the beautiful pinkish-lavender 
flowers are much larger and brighter and it 
produces them in profusion all through the 
spring and summer. Seldom exceeds 3 or 4 
feet in height. Perfectly hardy anywhere, and 
thrives in any soil in full sun or part shade. 
A most satisfactory flowering shrub for all sec¬ 
tions. 5-gal. containers, 2-3 ft., $1.75; gal. con¬ 
tainers, H/ 2-2 ft., 60c. 
Abelia triilora. "Indian Abelia." Zero. 10 
ft. One of the most delicately scented flower¬ 
ing shrubs is this handsome Abelia from the 
Himalayas. It makes a large graceful shrub, 
bearing at the ends of its tall arching branches, 
big 2-inch clusters of delicate rosy-white flow¬ 
ers which fill the air with a sweet Daphne-like 
odor during day and night. Hardy anywhere. 
Sun or part shade. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; 
gal. containers, 60c. 
The New Red Abelia 
Abelia iloribunda. "Mexican Abelia." 4 ft. 
15°. By far the most beautiful of all the 
Abelias, and one of the loveliest new evergreen 
shrubs that have been introduced lately for 
California gardens is this new variety from the 
mountains of Mexico. It grows to 3 or 4 feet— 
just a right size for most plantings. Has hand¬ 
some glossy foliage, and breaks out in late 
spring with a profusion of pendulous, tubular, 
reddish-purple flowers, much larger and more 
brilliant than the other Abelias. Reaches per¬ 
fection in the northern and central coastal dis¬ 
tricts of California. Where grown elsewhere 
in the state likes a slightly acid soil condition 
induced by plenty of leaf mold and plenty of 
water. Full sun along coast; partial shade in¬ 
land. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 
75c. 
Eurume Azaleas, Smothered with Blooms in the Spring. This One is the Lovely Light Pink Santoi. 
Armstrong Select 
Evergreen shrubs are the basis of all ornamental planting on the Pacific Coast, 
and nowhere in the world can such a bewildering variety of luxuriant foliage, 
colorful flowers, and brilliant berries be found than in California. The Armstrong 
Nurseries is not content to offer only the standard shrubs that have been grown 
in California for years but we are continually securing, propagating, and offering 
to our friends new and different plants, which are as yet almost unknown in 
California gardens. From these pages may be chosen shrubs adapted to all 
sections of the Western and Southwestern States. 
FOUNTAIN BUDDLEIA 
Cascades oi lavender blooms cover it from top to 
bottom in spring. See description opposite page. 
Armstrong Quality 
All Armstrong ornamentals are well grown 
and carefully pruned to make them dense and 
bushy. Please keep this in mind in connection 
with the sizes quoted. These well-grown fine 
plants are far superior to ordinary unpruned 
pot-bound plants. A visit to our salesyard will 
offer planters a chance to see many large 
specimen plants which there is not room to 
list herein, and many other varieties not even 
mentioned in this catalog, many of them in 
bloom, will also be on display. The gallon 
and 5-gallon containers men¬ 
tioned in the description are of 
tin, and weigh about 10 and 50 
pounds each, respectively.

Gorgeous New Kurume 
Azaleas 
The visitor to the Armstrong display yards in 
Ontario will be rewarded by seeing many of 
these beautiful and unusual flowering shrubs 
in full bloom. Winter and spring are the most 
favorable seasons to see the plants. 
They make splendid pot plants for porch or 
patio, and the flowers when cut last almost 
two weeks. The plants reach 2 to 4 feet in 
height, prefer shade or semi-shade and a 
slightly acid soil condition which is best ob¬ 
tained by planting them in almost pure leaf 
mold or peat moss. They require plenty of 
water, particularly during the blooming season.
