and RARE PLANTS 
WATSONIA—"THE DAZZLER" 
Hailed as the greatest Watsonia ever introduced to the Pacific Coast this bulbous 
plant belongs in every garden. Flowering from December until August when once 
established its brilliant orange-red flowers are truly a sensational color. Individual 
florets open full and from one to one and one-half inches across, lasting extremely 
well as a cut flower. The bulbs require only usual garden care in full sun and a 
minimum amount of water. They will be shipped as green plants packed in moss 
and should be planted as soon as received. 
35c each; $3.50 dozen. 
45c each; $4.00 dozen, postpaid. 
BILBERGIA NUTANS 
We do not usually think of green flowered subjects as attractive. Here is one 
however that is more than just out of the ordinary. Unique in all its detail is 
perhaps the best description of it. Its clusters of green, edged blue nodding flowers 
with rose colored sepal sheaths in contrast, provide the unusual. Attractive be¬ 
yond a doubt. The foliage is pineapple-like grey green. The plant is easily grown 
in pots or in the ground in shade or semi-shade and a well established clump car¬ 
ries many flower clusters before the season is over. 
50 each, postpaid 60c. 
GARDENIA 
Sweet Scented Pure White 
One of nature’s most heavily scented con¬ 
tributions to the pleasures of man. Waxy 
white camellia-shaped flowers supported 
on stems bearing the richest of dark green 
foliage make them one of the garden's most 
desirable subjects. A small growing shrub 
that does best in an open sunny situation 
of well drained soil to which has been 
added sufficient peat moss to give the plant 
an acid growing condition. Then with 
liberal watering and reasonable care one 
may point with pride to flowers of their 
own growing. 
50c each; $5.00 dozen. 
60c each; $5.50 dozen, postpaid

CAMELLIAS 
Well grown Camellias are the pride of every garden lover. Their culture is not so 
difficult after all. Planted in semi-shade or shade in a well-drained soil and kept 
uniformly moist without allowing the water to touch the foliage or flower buds 
and one is repaid with an abundance of flowers in proportion to the size of the 
plant. The soil should be acid and a mixture of equal parts of peat mull or leaf 
mold and sandy loam will spell success. After planting, a two-inch mulch of pure 
peat mull or leaf mold should be applied. This keeps the surface loose. Camellias 
are surface feeders and should not be hoed around. Desirable varieties are now 
in a price range to meet the average purse requirements. 
CLIMAX. The largest of the dark red varieties. 
JORDAN’S PRIDE. One of the best of the variegated forms; red, white, and pink. 
LADY CAMPBELL. Lighter red than Climax and quite different in type. 
PINK PERFECTION. The most popular Camellia grown in Southern California. 
Nature has created here an almost perfect flower in a very desirable shade of pink. 
PURITY. As pure white as the name would indicate. Flowers of large size per¬ 
fectly double and a very heavy flowering variety. 
ROSITA. Much like Pink Perfection, only a much darker pink in color.
