*CAPE CHESTNUT (Calodendron capense). H2. This is considered one of the most 
beautiful trees of South Africa. The large rosy lilac flowers are borne in large terminal 
clusters. A very beautiful tree indeed, but will not stand much cold. Pot grown 8-12 
in. 75c. 
*CALOTHAMNUS CHRYSANTHERUS. H2-3. Calothamnus is. generally similar to 
the better known Callistemon, but the tufts of flowers are borne in clusters instead of 
all around the branches as in the bottle brush type. This one bears yellowish flowers 
from which the deep red stamens protrude an inch or more. The entire plant is very 
silvery giving it a striking appearance even when not in bloom. Pot grown 6-8 in. 50c. 
*CALOTHAMNUS RUPESTRIS. -H2-3. On the order of the preceding plant, but not 
at all silvery. The stamens are crimson tipped with conspicuous yellow anthers. Pot 
grown I-IV 2 ft. 75c. 
STAR PINK. (Chironia linoides, Ch. ixifera). H2-3. This beautiful little half-shrub 
is suitable for rock gardens or where a small plant is appropriate. It gets only IV 2 ft. 
tall with a compact rounded outline. Leaves are about like those of carnations. In 
summer it literally covers itself with rose-pink flowers about 3/4 in. wide. Everyone 
who sees this likes it. Pot grown 6-8 in. 50c. 
CHORIZEMA CORDATUM. H2-3. Although “Hortus” says this is the same as the 
well known Ch. ilicifolium we find it distinct. Leaves are rounded and more or less 
heart-shaped. The pea-shaped flowers are similar but have a more scarlet effect. Pot 
grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
*CHORIZEMA VARIUM. H2-3. This is of smaller growth than Ch. ilicifolium but has 
larger, glossier leaves and very brilliant flowers which show a blending of orange, red 
and purple. Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c. 
CISTUS CORBARIENSIS. H3-4 (VII). Flowers are snow-white on good erect stems. 
Foliage is about the best of all the Cistuses. Habit semi-prostrate. Very pretty indeed. 
Balled 15-18 in. $1.50; gal. cans I-IV 2 ft. 75c; pot grown 8-12 in. 40c. 
CISTUS LADANIFERUS MACULATUS. H3-4 (VIII). After many years it develops 
that the plants which have masqueraded under this name are really Cistus cyprius. 
The genuine article is larger, stronger growing, and with flowers about twice as wide, 
up to 3 or 4 in., which also are white with a red blotch at the base of each petal. Pot 
grown I-IV 2 ft. 50c. 
SPOTTED ORCHID ROCKROSE (Cistus purpureus). H3-4 (VIII). Very strong and 
vigorous and during blooming time practically covers itself with satiny orchid-colored 
flowers nearly three inches wide. They have five petals, each with a deep red spot 
near the base. We highly recommend it. Balled 114-2 ft. $1.50; gal. cans 1-114 ft. 75c; 
pot grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
*SAGE LEAVED ROCKROSE (Cistus salvifolius). H3-4 (VIII). Name describes it 
to some extent. Flowers are white with a yellow spot at the base of each petal. Does 
not make a large plant. Pot grown 4-6 in. 50c. 
CISTUS SILVER PINK. H3-4. This has recently been imported from England where 
it has quickly attained great popularity. It makes a compact shrub of rather slow 
growth with grayish-green leaves. The flowers are of good size and a charming clear 
silver pink color without spots at the base of petals. Pot grown 12-15 in. $1.00. 
PINK BREATH OF HEAVEN (Coleonema pulchrum). H3. About the same as the 
old ‘’Breath of Heaven” but more upright growing and bearing bright rosy-pink flowers. 
Comes into bloom in late winter when flowers are scarce and is a mass of flowers for 
about two months. Hardier than the White Diosmas. Balled 15-18 in. $1.50; pot 
grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
*COLQUHOUNIA VESTITA. H2. A very vigorous and erect growing shrub belong¬ 
ing to the mint family and having whorls of orange red flowers. Seems to bloom three 
or four times a year including mid-winter if it is not stopped by the cold. Should be 
given considerable space. Pot grown 1-114 ft. 60c. 
CRANBERRY COTONEASTER (Cotoneaster apiculata). H5 (V). Growth is entirely 
prostrate. The berries are gorgeous, largest of all the Cotoneasters, brilliant, glossy- 
red and plenty of them. Grafted plants bear when very small. Pot grown, grafted 
12-15 in. 75c, 8-12 in. 60c; pot grown, seedlings 8-12 in. 50c. 
^COTONEASTER BULLATA MACROPHYLLA. H5 (V). Remarkable for the pecu¬ 
liar texture of the leaves which appear blistered. It is of moderately strong growth 
attaining maybe five or six feet in height. The berries are an unusual shade of very 
deep red and a plant loaded with them is quite a sight. Deciduous or nearly so. Pot 
grown, grafted 1-114 ft. 75c.
