As helpful to those of our customers who are not familiar with the names and habits 
of certain shrubs, trees and vines to produce a given effect, we submit the following 
lists, with some suggestions. We purposely omit many really tender plants, which, 
while they may grow well in Southern California for years, will in time, be hurt by 
frost. Refer to text of catalogue for full description of varieties.
