shrub from South Africa, recently introduced 
and here offered for the first time in this 
country. It has very attractive deep green, 
slightly prickly foliage and a neat compact 
habit, reaching a height of 3 feet rather 
slowly. It is a long-lived permanent shrub, 
and the flowers are most attractive, being D/j 
to D /2 inches across, creamy orange in the 
center, shading to a deep violet-blue at the 
outer edges, just as brilliant as the descrip¬ 
tion would indicate. We consider it one of the

soil. Gal. containers, 75c.

ing evergreen shrubs for California gardens.

Grevillea rosmarinifolia (Australia). 4-6 ft. 
15°. For sheer beauty of plant and foliage this

shrubs yet introduced into California. It makes 
a dense compact mass of handsome rosemary¬ 
like foliage, as broad as it is high, and cov¬ 
ered in spring with racemes of little pink and 
white flowers. The more we see of it the 
better we like it, and it stands heat, drougth 
and cold, growing easily in all locations. Sun 
or part shade. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. 
containers, 75c. 
Grevillea obtusifolia. (Australia). 15° This

the handsome, dark green foliage has the 
same appearance all the year around, bearing 
in the summer quantities of little red flowers. 
For banks, terraces or spots of bare ground, 
we know of no finer ground cover. Full sun 
or part shade. Stands heat. Gal. containers, 
85c. 
Grevillea thelmanniana. (Australia). 5 ft. 
25°. Small fine-cut leaves and numerous small 
dense scarlet racemes. A fine single specimen

foliage and large comb-like deep crimson 
flowers. Sun or part shade. 5-gal. containers,

tinually, large pea-like, bright yellow flowers, 
sweetly scented. Thrives equally well in the 
salt spray of the seashore or the hot sun of 
the desert. Gal. containers, 50c.
