PART I. 
CONIFERS 
*CASHMERE CYPRESS (Cupressus cashmeriana). H3-4. A rare and beautiful cy¬ 
press. Foliage has a bright silvery blue hue and the branchlets droop gracefully. A. 
M. C. H. S. Pot grown 8-12 in. $1.00. 
FOUNTAIN DEODAR (Cedrus deodara fontinalis). This is a gem for those who ap¬ 
preciate the unusual. It is the most striking variant of the Deodar and produces a 
mass of long, slender, rope-like, drooping branches which gives it a unique, fountain¬ 
like appearance. Its artistic effect increases with age. Balled 8-9 ft. $7.00, 7-8 ft. 
$6.00; gal. can 3-4 ft. $2.00; pot grown 114-2 ft. $1.25. 
**SAN JOSE JUNIPER (Juniperus japonica var.). H5 (IV). Found here as a sport 
of one of the creeping Junipers. Color is about sage green, much more pleasing than 
Chinese Creeping Juniper. We believe it is going to prove a valuable addition to the 
short list of good prostrate conifers. Balled 1-1% ft. $1.50. 
*PODOCARPUS NAGI. H3-4. At first sight this would hardly be taken for a conifer 
at all as the two inch long leaves are about one inch wide. Rate of growth is medium. 
Pot grown 114-2 ft. $1.25. 
SILVER REDWOOD (Sequoia sempervirens argentea). H4 (VIII). A very rare form 
with brightly silver colored foliage. Grows as vigorously as common Redwood and 
contrasts pleasingly when planted with it. Balled 214-3 ft. $3.00; gal. can 2-3 ft. $1.50; 
pot grown 1-114 ft. $1.00. 
BROAD LEAVED EVERGREENS 
RED ABELIA (Abelia floribunda). H3. Has rosy red flowers 114 to 2 inches long and 
borne in unbelievable profusion. In sunny districts it must have at least partial shade 
and plenty of water. At first almost prostrate; later it makes erect but arching shoots. 
Will probably never get more than 3 or 4 feet tall. Gallon cans 2-3 ft. $1.00; pot grown 
114-2 ft. 50c, 1-114 ft. 40c. 
INDIAN ABELIA (Abelia triflora). H4-5 (VII). Grows tall and slender with arching 
branches. Bears a heavy crop of dense terminal clusters of long-tubed, nearly pure 
white flowers whose intense fragrance resembles Bouvardia. Balled 2-3 ft. $1.50; pot 
grown 1-114 ft. 50c. 
ASTER FRUTICOSA. H2. This dainty slender-branched rather compact shrub grows 
only about 3 ft. tall and bears a profusion of daisy-like pinkish lavender flowers in late 
spring and early summer. Pot grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
*CORAL BARBERRY (Berberis corallina compacta). H4 (V-VI). Originated in Ire¬ 
land as a Stenophylla hybrid. It has small narrow dark green foliage and the entire 
plant is covered in spring with brilliant yellow flowers. This is a true dwarf suitable 
for rock gardens. The raiser says that his original plant now eighteen years old is a 
compact bush only three feet tall. Pot grown 3-4 in. 85c. 
*BERBERIS UMBELLATA. H4 (VII). A small dainty grower with holly-like leaves 
smaller than B. darwini having the usual green color above but intense silvery white 
beneath. Has the usual yellow flowers followed by red berries. Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c. 
BOWKERIA GERRARDIANA. H2. A fairly vigorous South African shrub which 
may attain as much as 6-8 ft. The leaves are suggestive of Heliotrope; flowers are 
white, Calceolaria-like and borne very freely. Reported to stand considerable frost. 
Pot grown 1-1% ft. $1.00. 
*BRACHYSEMA LANCEOLATUM. H3. This newcomer from Australia belongs in 
the select but very limited company of shrubs that bloom practically the entire year. 
It is said that in Australia it will thrive under the most exposed and adverse conditions. 
Leaves are lanceolate and decidedly glaucous. Flowers are pea-shaped and brilliant 
red, but do not emerge fully from the calyx so never open widely. Pot grown 6-8 in. 75c. 
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA (B. calycina). H2-3. This has been very fully de¬ 
scribed in previous issues of this booklet. When in full bloom it is covered with flowers 
ranging from pure white to deep violet and richly fragrant. Still decidedly rare. 
Gal. cans 114-2 ft. $1.50. 
BRUNFELSIA GRANDIFLORA (B. macrantha). H2-3. Much superior to B. flori¬ 
bunda, having larger leaves, more open habit, and much larger flowers up to as much 
as 214 in. wide. Grafted plants in gal. cans 1-1 % ft. $1.75.
