NECKLACE COTONEASTER (Cotoneaster decora). Growth is low and spreading, al¬ 
most prostrate. Leaves are very small, about like those of Lonicera nitida and ever¬ 
green. Berries are bright red, of good size and born all along the slender branches. 
A rather shy bearer at first but later it loads itself with enormous crops. Balled 3-4 
ft. wide $3.00, 154-2 ft. wide $1.50; pot grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
ROSE QUEEN DAPHNE. This is a distinct variety of the old favorite Pink Daphne 
of California gardens. Leaves are dark green with no variegation. Flowers are larger 
than in the common yellow-edged form, have the usual rich fragrance, are deep rose 
outside, light pink within and produced in much larger clusters. Also the plant is of 
more compact habit. Very fine. Balled 18-24 in. $3.50, 15-18 in. $2.50, 12-15 in. $2.25; 
gal. can 6-8 in. $1.00; pot grown 4-6 in. 75c. 
GOLDENLEAF ELEAGNUS (Eleagnus pungens maculata). The common Eleagnus 
with slight variegation around the edges is common and not particularly esteemed. 
This is decidedly different as all the central part of leaves is golden yellow with green 
margin. It is very difficult to propagate so is rare and no large stock available at 
this time. Gal. can 114-2 ft. $1.00, 1-114 ft. 75c; pot grown 1-114 ft. 60c. 
BANANA SHRUB (Michelia fuscata). This has been a favorite for many years but 
being difficult to propagate always has been and still is very scarce. It is of very 
slow growth, does not like full sun and bears small Magnolia-like flowers which are 
yellow marked with ruddy brown. These have a strong but very agreeable banana¬ 
like fragrance. Balled 1-114 ft. $2.50; pot grown 8-12 in. 85c, 6-8 in. 75c. 
ORANGE JASMINE (Murraea exotica). Related to and slightly resembles Choisya. 
Growth is slower and leaves and leaflets smaller. Bears fragrant white flowers follow¬ 
ed by clusters of red berries. It blooms very freely over a good portion of the pear. 
Pot grown 6-8 in. 60c. 
ROGERS ORANGE FIRETHORN (Pyracantha rogersiana aurantiaca). Berries are 
orange not red, borne all along the slender, long, willowy branches which, the second 
year, bear clear to the tips. This point makes this Firethorn about the best of all 
berry bearing plants as a source of cut material for decoration. Flowers are white and 
borne so profusely that it would be worth planting as a good flowering shrub even if 
it never fruited at all. Cutting the berried branches is beneficial to the plant as this 
leaves the way clear for the new wood to bear in turn the following year. 5 gal. can 
3-4 ft. $2.00; gal. can 3-4 ft. $1.25, 2-3 ft. $1.00, 154-2 ft. 85c; pot grown 2-3 ft. 85c, 
154-2 ft. 75c. 
RHODODENDRONS, We have a nice stock of Pink Pearl and other grafted varieties. 
Excellent plants well set with flower buds from $3.35 to $7.00. 
SKIMMIA JAPONICA. A very dwarf and slow growing Japanese plant which re¬ 
quires both shade and acid soil. The male plants have attractive white flowers which 
are as fragrant as Lily of the Valley. The female plants bear a fine crop of orange-red 
berries. Pot grown 8-12 in. $1.00, 6-8 in. 75c, 4-6 in. 60c. 
SPARMANNIA AFRICANA. Grows very rapidly and makes a large shrub. It is re¬ 
lated to the Lindens and has somewhat similiar foliage. Produces a fairly good crop 
of white flowers in clusters. Entire effect is quite tropical. Pot grown 154-2 ft. 50c. 
TEMPLETONIA RETUSA. Australian shrub of unusual appearance. Belongs to the 
pea family and has long slender red flowers. Gal. can 8-12 in. 75c. 
DECIDUOUS TREES 
DAVIDIA INVOLUCRATA. This is the famous and extremely rare Dove Tree of 
China. We have only a very few plants; 20 in. $10.00, 12 in. $7.50, 10 in. $6.00, 8 in. 
$4.00. 
RED HORSECHESTNUT (Aesculus). It seems to us that the Horsechestnuts are not 
planted as widely as they should be in California. The red or pink forms are particu¬ 
larly esteemed as they make trees of medium size which in spring are covered with 
showy erect panicles which contrast beautifully with the deep green leaves. Growth is 
rather slow. Top grafted 4-5 ft. $3.00; seedlings 3-4 ft. $1.25, 2-3 ft. $1.00. 
PURPLE LEAVED BEECH. We have some very fine trees this season not only in 
the usual erect type but also in the very rare weeping form at prices ranging from 
$5.00 to $20.00 for erect and $7.50 to $10.00 for weeping. 
LONG-CLUSTERED GOLDEN CHAIN (Laburnum vossi). A small tree with green 
bark and foliage like exaggerated clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden yellow and 
formed exactly like those of Wisteria. The hanging clusters attain as much as 18 to 
20 inches length and are borne very profusely in late spring. Very beautiful and even 
the smallest size will usually bloom the first year. Having a large stock we are 
making unusually low prices this season. 8-10 ft. $2.50, 6-8 ft. $2.00, 3-4 ft. $1.00.
