Bush Honeysuckle 
Lonicera Heckrottii. 3 ft. Zero. A hybrid 
bush Honeysuckle with a spreading rambling 
habit. It starts to produce quantities of its 
delightfully fragrant flowers in May and in 
September is still going strong. The flowers 
are larger than most Honeysuckles, orange- 
yellow, flushed on the outside with purplish 
crimson. Perfectly hardy any place, standing 
heat and cold. Full sun. 5-gal. containers, 
$1.50; gal. containers, 50c. 
Lonicera implexa. 15° A bushy grey-leaved 
bush Honeysuckle from the Balearic Islands 
in the Mediterranean. Particularly fine for the 
inland desert sections where it makes a beau¬ 
tiful spreading shrub, producing almost the 
year around its fragrant light pink flower 
clusters. 5-gal. containers, $1.50. 
A Texas Ranger 
Leucophyllum texanum. 5 ft. 10°. A beautiful 
plant from Texas, with soft, silvery gray fol¬ 
iage, which makes a lovely background for 
the pinkish lavender flowers, one inch across, 
which are borne in great profusion in the late 
summer, and sometimes in the spring as well 
if the plant is cut back in the winter. Prefers 
full sun and not much water. 5-gal. containers, 
2-3 ft., $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
A New Pink Mallow 
Lavatera olbia. 25°. A fast growing 
Mallow from Southern Europe which 
has long been a favorite in English 
gardens but which for some reason 
has been almost unknown in Cali¬ 
fornia. The few plants planted in Cal¬ 
ifornia recently have been so much 
admired that it will be much in de¬ 
mand during the next year or two. It 
grows rapidly to about 6 feet and 
bears almost continuously good sized 
bright pink flowers like single holly¬ 
hocks. We believe we can safely rec¬ 
ommend it for almost any soil and 
any location. Should be cut back 
each year during the winter almost 
to the ground. 5-gal. containers, 
$1.75; gal. containers, 60c.
