Quoting from an authority. “For a few years 
past, the use of Nandina in local gardens has 
increased in Southern California, and bids fair 
to rival that accorded it in Japan, where it is to 
be found in nearly every garden. It grows well 
in whole or partial shade, and if well supplied 
with water, does eouallv well in the hottest sun¬ 
shine. The plant if held in great reverence in 
China. 
We have grown a fine stock of Nandina from 
seed especially collected for us in Jaoan, and 
offer plants at a reasonable pi’ice. Pots, 1-2 
ft., 60c ea., $5.00 per 10; 2-2 V 2 ft., $1.50 ea. 
NERIUM OLEANDER (e.). The well known 
oleander, while native of the Mediterranean 
region and of Janan is preferably “at heme” in 
California, especially where there is abundant 
sunshine. The Oleander, contrary to precon¬ 
ceived ideas, thrives in anv fairly good soil, even 
without irrigation. Nothing is more gorgeouslv 
beautiful than groups or avenues of oleanders 
revelling in the bright sunshine of California. 
We grow a good stock of this shrub, and offer 
the same at very reasonable prices. Named 
varieties are more or less puzzling, so we list 
under described colors, the plants being all 
propagated from our own blooming shrubs on 
our own grounds. Pot plants, 1-2 ft., 40c ea.. 
$3.50 per 10, $30.00 per 100;2-3 ft.. 60c ea., $5.00
