HYDRANGEA 
Hydrangeas are especially valuable in north exposures or other shad¬ 
ed places where they form shapely, rounded shrubs, in bloom with massive 
trusses of flowers for many months. 
A Noteworthy Collection of New French and German Hybrid Hydrangeas 
GERTRUDE GLAHN. Large trusses of deep 
rose-pink flowers.

and trusses of great size, rose-pink.

NOTE 
The color and tints of Hydrangeas vary con¬ 
siderably with soil conditions. An acid soil is re¬ 
quired for the Blue varieties. The ones we list 
as Blue will produce true color, but the hue will 
vary from lavender to deep purple depending on 
the degree of acidity. 
Jacobinia 
Rare shrubs, or sub-shrubs, particularly 
desirable because they will grow and bloom 
in fairly shady places, if given good drain¬ 
age, and plenty of water. The flowers are 
very showy, tube-shaped, borne in dense 
terminal spikes. Will not stand freezing. 
JACOBINIA ROSEA. Large deeply veined 
leaves, and bright pink flowers. Grows 3 ft high.

growing about three feet high with small shin¬ 
ing green leaves, and yellow fragrant blossoms 
throughout the year. The stems are the same

scape use. 1-gallon containers, 50c; 5-gallon, 
$1.50.

tainers, $1.50.

PAUL J. HOWARD’S 
Lantanas 
These Dwarf, compact types of Lantanas 
are a great improvement over the old sprawl¬ 
ing or semi-climbing type. They are es¬ 
pecially desirable for bedding or borders, 
where they furnish brilliant color the year 
’round. Because of their habit of growth 
they require much less pruning, and are 
more constantly in bloom, and the flower 
trusses are larger than the older sorts. 
They grow and bloom all the year in 
Southern California and make beautiful 
showy pot plants and window boxes in 
colder regions, where they are also very 
useful as summer bedding plants. 
CICERONE. Old gold and copper. 
JANNIA. Soft pink, with cream. 
GOLD COIN. Deep golden yellow, a pure and 
rich hue. 
RADIATION. Rich red and yellow, often pure 
red. The most widely planted variety.

Two taller sorts, of splendid habit of growth, 
for backgrounds or hedges. 
JACOB SCHULTZ. Rich red and gold. 
TALL YELLOW. Pure yellow. 
TRAILING LANTANA 
LANTANA SELLOWIANA. (delicatissima). The 
masses of soft orchid colored blooms, completely 
covering the plants make this trailer one of the 
loveliest subjects for covering banks, drooping 
over walls or from pots, window boxes and hang¬ 
ing baskets. Visitors to California always exclaim 
over the colorful sight of great patches of these 
flowers, expressing a desire to take some home. 
They are easily grown in pots or boxes in locali¬ 
ties where the winters are cold. 
Price of any of the Lantanas: 2\4-inch pots 10c 
each; 10 for 90c; $8.00 per 100; 1-gal. con¬ 
tainers, 40c each.
