lies perfectly flat on the ground, grows rapidly and 
covers the ground completely. Leaves are small 
and narrow. Even when very young, it blooms pro¬ 
fusely. Flowers are red and of the same peculiar 
shape as all other Grevilleas. It should become 
enormously popular as it becomes known. Pot 
grown 4-6 in. 60c. 
GREVILLEA RGSMARINIFOLIA. An erect 
shrub attaining 5 or 6 ft. Habit is bushy and com¬ 
pact; leaves linear; flowers are pink and white. 
Said to withstand as low as 20 degrees fahrenheit. 
Pot grown 8-12 in. 75c. 
HELIANTHEMITM LASIANTHUM (H. formo- 
sum). Low growing shrub with grayish green 
leaves. The extremely attractive flowers are form¬ 
ed like Rockroses but are bright yellow with a red 
spot at the base of each petal. Prefers full sun 
and will thrive in limy soils. Pot grown 8-12 in. 
50c. 
ILEX LATIFOLIA. Called “Tarayo” in Japan. 
Has remarkably handsome foliage suggesting Eng¬ 
lish Laurel. Leaves up to 6 inches or more long 
and 2 inches wide, rich dark green. Berries red. 
This is said to be the finest of the Japanese Hollies 
and certainly looks very promising. Gal. can 114-2 
ft. $1.50, 1-114 ft. $1.25; pot grown 8-12 in. 75c, 6-8 in. 60c. 
PEItNY HOLLY (Ilex perayi). We again call attention to this gem among the Hollies. 
Small, slow growing and dainty in every way. Leaves very small and prickly. The 
female plants bear a profuse crop of light, bright red berries. Hardly known in the 
gardens as yet, but we cannot recommend it too highly. Grafted female plants; balled 
and with berries, 114-2 ft. $2.50; gal. cans 8-12 in. $1.25. 
MYRTUS COMMUNIS MINIMA. This is a most minute little dwarf shrub with tiny 
leaves. What its ultimate growth may be we can not say but apparently it will take 
years to reach any very great size. Pot grown 2-4 in. 60c. 
NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA. This is more of a herbaceous perennial than a 
shrub and in England it is considered one of the best novelties of recent years. It only 
grows 6-8 in. tall and is smothered with flowers 1-114 inches in diameter which are 
delicate lavender with a yellow eye. It blooms over a long season. Considered parti¬ 
cularly fine for rock gardens. Pot grown 25c. 
CATALINA TO YON (Photinia arbutifolia macrocarpa). The variety of Toyon or 
California Holly which grows on Catalina Island is distinguished by larger leaves, more 
vigorous growth and particularly by the larger size of its berries. Pot grown 12-15 
in. 50c, 8-12 in. 40c. 
ORANGE BERRIED TOYON (Photinia arbutifolia chrysocarpa). Briefly this is a 
Toyon with orange-yellow instead of red berries. Our plants are seedlings and can not 
be absolutely guaranteed but being grown from yellow berries, they are reasonably 
certain to reproduce the type. Pot grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
PROTEA COMPACTA. The Proteas are from South Africa and will stand moderate 
frost and plenty of heat but do not like limy soil. The flower heads are large and 
very peculiarly formed. This form has them about 4 inches long with pink to carmine 
bracts. Pot grown 8-12 in. 75c. 
PROTEA SUSANNAE. This one has large leaves about 5 inches long and 4 inch 
flower heads which were strikingly illustrated on the cover of Sunset Magazine for 
June, 1936. Pot grown 2-4 in. 75c. 
PSORALEA APHYLLA. One of the “Blue Brooms’’. It is a vigorous upright grower; 
branches have green bark and almost no leaves. Flowers are exactly like those of 
Broom but light blue and produce over a long season. Pot grown 2-3 ft. 75c. 
TURRAEA OBTUSIFOLIA. A small South African shrub which probably will not at¬ 
tain over 3 ft. in height. The flowers are rather large, star shaped, pure 1 white, and 
borne in profusion over quite a long season. It probably is very averse to lime in 
the soil, but is a beautiful thing where it can be made to grow. Pot grown 8-12 in. $1.00. 
VIBURNUM BURKWOODI. This can be briefly described as an evergreen Viburnum 
c^rlesi with larger clusters of intensely fragrant flowers. This was mentioned in G. 
A. 1936 and we had expected to distribute it this year but although we grew a reason¬ 
able number of plants, we regard it as such an unusually fine novelty, far out of the 
ordinary, that we decided to use the entire stock this year for grafting wood and in-
