ten seen in the Santa Cruz Moun¬ 
tains but rarely in the northern 
range of the Redwood. Foliage has ' 
a pronounced bluish tint making it 
less somber than the common type. 
Gal. can 3-4 ft. $1.50; pot grown 
1-1% ft. 75c. 
GOLDEN IRISH YEW (Taxus bac- 
cata fastigiata aurea). An exact 
counterpart of the well known Irish 
Yew except that in spring and early 
summer the leaves are brilliantly 
variegated with gold. Balled 5-6 ft. 
$7.50, 4-4% ft. $6.00, 3-3 % ft. $4.50. 
SPREADING GOLDEN YEW (Tax- 
us baccata repandens aurea). An 
excellent conifer of decidedly pros¬ 
trate habit. Has the typical Yew 
foliage which is strongly golden in 
the spring but becomes green in the 
latter part of the season. Grows slowly. 
$1.25, 6-8 in. 75c. 
SAUCER MAGNOLIA 
Magnolia soulangeana 
Very fine for roch gardens. Balled 8-12 in. 
BROAD LEAVED EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
FRAGRANT ABELIA (Abelia triflora). Grows tall and slender with arching branches. 
Bears dense terminal clusters of long-tubed nearly pure white flowers whose intense 
fragrance resembles Bouvardia. Pot grown l%-2 ft. 65c. 
WINTER-SWEET (Acokanthera spectabilis). This rare shrub has leathery purple 
leaves and large clusters of very fragrant flowers. It isn’t any too hardy but can 
withstand light frosts outside or is suitable for conservatory culture. Pot grown 4-6 
in. 50c. 
WARTY BARBERRY (Berberis verruculosa). Why such an unpleasant name should 
have been wished on this delightful shrub is more than we can see. If it has warts 
they are not in evidence! Of slow growth and makes a compact shrub. Leaves small 
and holly-like, very silvery beneath. Some plants take on a strong bronze hue as win¬ 
ter approaches; others display many leaves colored brilliant red. Bears a good crop 
of golden yellow flowers in early spring. Pot grown 8-12 in. 50c, 6-8 in. 40c. 
BORONIA ELATIOR. This charming little plant seems to have no common name. 
Foliage is very finely cut and also very fragrant. Flowers are produced very profusely 
over a long period in early summer. They are rose colored and look exactly like rather 
large heather blooms. In fact the plant could be mistaken for a heather, but is totally 
unrelated and neither requires nor likes acid soil. It is very dainty and attractive. 
Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c, 6-8 in. 50c. 
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA (B. calycina). This shrub is really a wonder. Foliage 
is about the size and shape of California Privet. Growth slow and generally upright. 
The flowers are about the size and shape of Vinca and are borne in the greatest pro¬ 
fusion through spring and early summer with a scattering crop the rest of the year 
except during the cold months. When the buds are fully opened the flowers are deep 
violet. Each flower lasts about a week and in this period slowly changes to pure white 
with the result that when in bloom the shrub always shows violet, lavender and white 
flowers at the same time. This would be plenty, but “for good measure,” it also has 
a delightfully rich and powerful fragrance which will perfume an entire garden. Curi¬ 
ously the fragrance intensifies as the color lightens. It is of slow growth and will 
probably remain scarce for a good many years. Gallon can 2-2% ft. $1.75, l%-2 ft. 
$1.50. 
CAMELLIA. We carry quite a stock of these beautiful plants but there is such a wide 
variation in size and varieties that we cannot list them in detail here. Prices on balled 
plants carrying flower buds range from $1.50 to $10.00 each. 
CHORIZEMA CORDATUM. Although “Hortus” says this is the same as the well 
known C. ilicifolium we find it distinct. Leaves are rounded and more or less heart- 
shaped. The Pea shaped flowers are similiar but have a more scarlet effect. Pot 
grown 4-6 in. 25c.
