New Trailing Rosemary 
For sunny slopes, or to trail over rocks and walls here is 
a most valuable and effective plant. Its silvery gray foliage and 
pale blue flowers make a beautiful cascade effect of soft color, 
in lovely contrast to the deep greens and brighter colors in sur¬ 
rounding parts of the garden. 
Our new TRAILING ROSEMARY is bound to become a fav¬ 
orite for pleasing landscape effects, and for the delightful frag¬ 
rance of its foliage and flowers. 
21/4 inch pots, 25c; 10 for $2.25

Solanum 
Blue flowering shrubs are not plentiful, 
so these Solanums are highly desirable for 
the rich blue color they bring to the gar¬ 
den. 
SOLANUM AVICULARE. A rare shrub, to 10 
feet, with deep green, often lobed leaves 6 to 8 
inches long. The deep violet blue flowers are 
1 '/2 inches across, followed by ovoid golden ber¬ 
ries, 1-inch long. 1-gal. containers, 50c; 5-gal.

covering the spreading branches. 1 -gal. contain¬ 
ers, 50c; 5-gal. $1.75.

SOLLYA HETEROPHYLLA. (Australian Blue¬ 
bell). Low growing, sometimes trailing shrub 
with dark green leaves, and wiry stems. Bears

be kept compact and bushy by frequent trimming. 
Excellent for a bolder in this shape. 1 -gal. con¬ 
tainers, 50c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
Streptosolen 
STREPTOSOLEN JAMESONI. One of those flori- 
ferous shrubs that make Southern California 
plantings so bright and colorful. Half climbing 
or rounded in form, and bears masses of rich 
orange-red, and golden flowers, almost continu¬ 
ously. Will not stand much frost. 1-gal. con¬ 
tainers, 50c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Sutherlandia 
SUTHERLANDIA FRUTESCENS. An unusual 
South African shrub, 2-3 ft. high which grows 
well in Southern California. The grey-green, pin¬ 
nate leaves makes a pleasing contrast to other 
foliage, and the bright scarlet flowers, in spikes, 
are very showy, followed by curious bladder-like 
pods. 5-gal. containers, $1.50. 
Tecoma 
While the Tecomas are usually classed 
as vines, these varieties find their greatest 
usefulness as rounded, dense shrubs, for 
filling in large spaces in corners and for 
mass or screen effects on banks, slopes, 
and near walls and fences, where their 
glossy foliage and abundant blossoms are 
very effective. 
TECOMA CAPENSIS. Cape Honeysuckle. Lux¬ 
urious deep green foliage, covered in summer and 
fall with glowing scarlet flowers in racemes. 1- 
gal. containers, 50c; 5-gal. $1.75.

right in habit with great clusters of golden yel¬ 
low trumpet-shaped flowers. A most effective 
shrub for coastal districts. 1-gal. 75e; 5-gal. 
$1.75.

to ten feet, unless trimmed. The ends of every 
branch are covered at times with great clusters 
of showy yellow trumpet-shaped flowers. Excep¬ 
tionally fine in coastal areas. 1 -gallon contain¬ 
ers, 75e; 5-gal.$1.75. 
Thevetia 
YELLOW OLEANDER 
THEVETIA NERIIFOLIA. Rare and val¬ 
uable shrub for warm dry hillsides, reach¬ 
ing 8-10 ft., with shining narrow leaves,

flowers, 3 inches long, bright golden yel¬ 
low and fragrant. A fine garden specimen, 
needing plenty of water to become estab¬ 
lished. 5-gal. containers 2 , /2-3 ft., $2.00. 
TURRAEA 
TURRAEA OBTUSIFOLIA. South Africa. An 
attractive shrub which is very valuable for hedge 
purposes as well as specimen planting. In round¬ 
ed form and size it is like the well-known 
Choisya, and can be used for the same purposes 
to better advantage because it is free from in¬ 
sect pests and stands moisture well. As a hedge 
at the edge of a lawn it is a beautiful subject, 
well withstanding shearing. The pleasing green 
foliage and the freedom with which it produces 
its lacy white, Jasmine-like flowers make it a 
very valuable addition to our list of shrubs. 75 c; 
5- gal. $2.50. 
Veronica 
Shrubs of medium size, and roundish 
compact form. Flowers are borne in spikes, 
and the leaves are oval, and opposite, thick¬ 
ly set on the stems. Very attractive for 
specimens, grouping or for borders and 
hedges. Adapted to most any soil condi¬ 
tion, and exposure, although particularly to 
regions near the coast, from San Diego to 
San Francisco, thriving where there are fogs 
and strong breezes. 
VERONICA ANDERSONI. Leaves long, flowers 
violet blue, in long spikes. About 4 ft. in 
height. 
VERONICA CHATHAMICA. This little shrub 
has great character and individuality, with dense¬ 
ly placed glossy green leaves. Its dwarf habit 
of growth makes it one of the most charming 
subjects for rockeries and dish gardens, where it 
gives the effect of a little old tree. 
VERONICA DECUSSATA. (elliptica). Rather 
dwarf, leaves rounded, medium sized. Flowers 
large, deep blue. 
VERONICA SALICIFOLIA VAR. CARNEA. One 
of the most beautiful in the genus, with narrow 
dark green, glossy leaves, and Tong slender spikes 
of bright rose-pink flowers. Grows about 4 feet 
high, compact. 
VERONICA TRAVERSII. A splendid low-grow¬ 
ing shrub with closely set, small, deep green 
leaves somewhat resembling boxwood. For fore¬ 
grounds and edgings it is a fine subject. 
Price of any of the Veronicas: 1-gallon contain¬ 
ers, 40c; 5-gal., $1.50. 
Viburnum 
VIBURNUM SUSPENSUM. V. sandankwa. At¬ 
tains a height of 12 ft. at times, and is very lux¬ 
uriant and bushy in growth. Its large, heavily 
veined dark green leaves are borne very close 
together, making it very desirable for specimens, 
or mass planting. Bears clusters of white blos¬ 
soms. Will stand a fairly moist location, even in 
partial shade. 1-gal. containers, 50c; 5-gal. 
$1.75; balled or boxed, Z'/z-i ft., $3.50. 
VIBURNUM ODORATISSIMUM. One of the 
handsomest shrubs for its very large glossy 
bright green leaves; very effective in partially 
shaded locations where it is often difficult to find 
a shapely shrub to fill spaces. The large panicles 
of white flowers are very fragrant. Hardy, be¬ 
coming almost deciduous where winters are cold. 
1-gal. containers, 12-18 inches, 50c; boxed, 2-3 
ft., $3.50; 5-gal. containers, $1.75. 
VIBURNUM TINUS LAURUSTINUS. Large or 
medium sized shrub, with medium sized, very 
dark green leaves. Flowers are borne in large 
flat clusters, and vary from white to rosy pink, 
with a peculiar fragrance; followed by black ber¬ 
ries. Splendid hedge or trimmed specimen. 1-gal. 
containers, 50e; 5-gal. $1.50. 
An Elegant Shade Tree 
with lustrous evergreen foliage and gorgeously 
colored fruits. 
HARPULEA ARBOREA 
A rare tree of handsome proportions, growing to a height 
of fifty feet. The shining evergreen leaves are pinnate, com¬ 
posed of four or five pairs of leaflets each six inches long. It 
forms a dense round-topped tree, ideal for beauty and shade.

berry-red fruits, or seed pods in great clusters, making a mag¬ 
nificent display and highly ornamental for table decorations. It 
is hardy in the milder coastal belts and foothill slopes.
