Wistaria one the most desirable and highly appreciated of climbing 
vines. It is a very rapid, strong grower, and is particularly 
valued for the covering of pergolas, porches, etc. In the spring of the year 
it is seen heavily laden with beautiful pea-shaped flowers hanging in long 
bunches which are particularly noticeable on account of the absence of foliage 
at the blooming period. 
In beauty as well as fragrance it easily surpasses any other of the climbing 
vines. We can furnish this beautiful climber in purple, white and double 
purple varieties. ^ ,

PALMS 
The palm, the most highly ornamental of evergreen plant life, is particu¬ 
larly adapted to California owing to the semi-tropical climate. All varieties 
thrive well and for their tropical appearance, make our gardens attractive to 
Eastern, visitors. After once established, their culture is very easy and no 
garden is complete without a few of the different varieties. 
Chamaerops Excelsa ^ ne ^ ie hardiest of the Fan Palms. Foliage 
dark green; the segments of the fan-shaped leaves 
(Japanese Fan Palm) deeply cut, the edges covered with tooth-like 
spines. Grows from 15 to 20 feet high; very desir¬ 
able for sidewalk decoration.

Phoenix Canariensis The handsomest and hardiest species of the date 
palm family. Being a rapid grower, it soon de- 
(The Canary Island Date) velops into beautiful specimens, with pinnate, dark 
green leaves, from 6 to 21 feet long, the divisions linear, lance-shaped, very 
much pointed. It is fully as hardy as the native Fan Palm and differing so 
widely from that variety in its habit of growth, color, and style of foliage, a 
finer contrast cannot readily be imagined when the two are planted, either 
opposite or alternately in rows.
