Giant Streptocarpus 
CAPE PRIMROSE 
Tree Peonies are true aristocrats, 
one of the most lovely of cultivated 
flowers. Unlike the common or her¬ 
baceous Peonies they do not die com¬ 
pletely down each winter but retain 
their woody stems, forming bushes 
three to five feet high. 
They are well suited to Cali¬ 
fornia climatic conditions be- 
•ing native to the Orient from 
where many of our more use¬ 
ful plants come. 
We have grafted named varieties 
in the following choice colors: Pink, 
Red, Rose, Lavender and White. 
4 and 5 year old blooming size 
plants established in pots and tubs, 
each $5.00. 
Plant Tree Peonies in full sun or par¬ 
tial shade, in well drained soil. Keep well 
watered and fertilized, and you will enjoy 
some of the most gorgeous flowers it is 
possible to grow. 
PAUL J. HOWARD'S GIANT STREPTOCARPUS 
GIANT FLOWERED ENGLISH HY¬ 
BRIDS. These lovely flowers, hardy 
in the garden in California, give a 
luxurious appearance to plantings in 
shady beds, slopes, and rockeries. Our 
strain produces flowers of marvelous 
proportions, embracing an exceeding¬ 
ly wide range of colors, some with 
fine white throats, others delicately 
pencilled. The tones of blue, laven¬ 
der, mauve, pink, purple, deep rose, 
and carmine of the large, gloxinia¬ 
like flowers make a beautiful blend¬ 
ing in a bed of Tuberous Begonias, 
providing the complementary colors 
lacking in those flowers. The flowers 
are produced over an extremely long 
period and make wonderful pot plants 
for winter flowering. 3-inch pots, 
25c; ten for $2.25; 4-inch pots, 
35c; ten for $3.1 5.
