CALOTHAMNUS RUPESTRIS. This loose 
growing shrub has its branches densely covered 
with needle like leaves. The flowers are some¬ 
what like those of “Bottle Brush” with brilliant 
crimson stamens. It has the appearance of being 
perfectly hardy here. Pot grown 1-114 ft. 60c, 
8-12 in. 50c. 
CHIRONIA LINOIDES (C. ixifera). This beauti¬ 
ful little half-shrub is suitable for rock gardens 
or for any place in the garden where a small 
plant is appropriate. It does not get more than 
1 l /4 ft. tail with a compact rounded outline. Leaves 
are about like those of carnations. In summer 
it literally covers itself with rose pink flowers 
about % in. wide. We have noticed that every¬ 
one who sees this likes it. Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c. 
CISTUS CORBARIENSIS. A beautiful addition 
to our lists of small evergreen shrubs, which is 
attractive at any time for its crinkly foliage and 
especially so in spring with its wealth of dainty 
pure white flowers with golden stamens. All 
who see it admire it. Pot grown 12-15 in. 50c. 
CISTUS LADANIFERUS MACULATUS. After many years it develops that the plants 
which have masqueraded under this name are really Cistus cyprius. The genuine 
article is larger, stronger growing, and with flowers about twice as! wide, up to 3 or 
4 in., which also are white with a red blotch at the base of each petal. Pot grown 
1-1% ft. 50c, 8-12 in. 25c. 
SPOTTED ORCHID ROCKROSE (Cistus purpureus). It is hard to understand why 
this beautiful Rockrose which has been popular in England for a century has just 
reached California. It is very strong and vigorous and at blooming time practically 
covers itself with satiny orchid-colored flowers nearly three inches wide. They have 
five petals, each with a deep red spot near the base. We recommend this unreservedly. 
Gal. cans 1-114 ft. 75c; pot grown 1-114 ft. 60c. 
CISTUS SILVER PINK. This has recently been imported from England where it 
has quickly attained great popularity. It makes a rather compact shrub of only medium 
growth with grayish-green leaves. The flowers are superb; of good size and a charm¬ 
ing silver pink color without any spots at the base of petals. We have an idea that it 
will become as popular here as in England. Pot grown 8-12 in. 85c. 
CONVOLVULUS CNEORUM. Highly valued for its remarkably beautiful foliage. 
The green leaves are well covered with silky white hairs so that the general effect is 
glistening silver. This color is maintained throughout the year. The flowers are of 
the usual Morning Glory type, a little over an inch wide; white with yellow eye and 
pinkish on the outside. It blooms very persistently. Pot grown strong plants 75c, 
smaller 30c. 
COTONEASTER GLABRATA. This is a vigorous strong growing Cotoneaster which 
will probably make a large bush. The leaves are 2 or 3 inches long. When it carries 
its crop of bright red berries, it is simply gorgeous. They are produced in large clus¬ 
ters all along the branches which arch with their weight. Seedlings, pot grown 8-12 
in. 50c. 
COTONEASTER RUBENS. Imported from France under government permit. Growth 
is almost prostrate. Leaves small and evergreen. In a general way it is like C. buxi- 
folia, but the red berries have a better color which is developed as early as June. 
Grafted plants, pot grown 1-114 ft. 75c. 
MITCHELL BROOMS (Cytisus hybrids). For more complete information see, in 
February, 1936 number of Sunset Magazine, an article by their originator, the well 
known horticulturist, Sydney B. Mitchell. Out of a large number of beautiful seedlings 
Mr. Mitchell selected the five he considered best and named them for various colleges 
in the State. The following are his verbatim descriptions: 
CALIFORNIA. Of medium height, about 3 to 4 ft. and rather spreading; stan¬ 
dards rosy white, reverse rose. Wings glowing rose, deepening to the top of the 
keel. Exceptionally attractive and clean in its brilliant pink effect. 
POMONA. Very tall and vigorous, running to 8 ft. high with arching stems. Stan¬ 
dards yellow paling to white, reverse rose. Wings amber orange, keel yellow.
