COTONEASTER GLABRATA. H4 (VIII). This is a vigorous, strong growing Coton- 
easter which will probably make a large bush; leaves three or four inches long. It is 
indeed gorgeous when carrying its crop of bright red berries. They are produced in 
large clusters all along the branches which arch with their weight. Balled 4-5 ft. $2.00; 
gal. cans l 1 /2-2 ft. $1.00; pot grown 1-114 ft. 75c. 
^COTONEASTER RACEMIFLORA SONGARICA. H5 (V). Probably the hardiest 
variety in our collection. Growth is very vigorous. Flowers produced in showy pro¬ 
fusion followed by brilliant coral-red berries. Pot grown, grafted 1-114 ft. 75c. 
*CRINODENDRON PATAGUA (Tricuspidaria lanceolata). H2. This is one of the 
ultra-rare things. Few gardeners in this country have even seen the plants and fewer 
yet the flowers. A good English authority says: “This highly ornamental Chilean shrub 
is one of the gems of the garden. The flowers exceed one inch in length and in May 
hang like a multitude of glowing crimson lanterns.” This becomes a large shrub but 
must have naturally or artificially acid soil. Prefers cool moist conditions, but will 
grow where fairly hot if well shaded. Pot grown 8-12 in. $1.25. 
*KEW BROOM (Cytisus kewensis). H4-5 (VI). Again we quote from an enthusias¬ 
tic English writer: “Had Kew no other claim to fame than the production of this one 
shrub, it would be enough to perpetuate her memory for so long as there are gardens 
and gardeners. Foaming sunshine is the only metaphor to indicate its beauty when in 
flower. Only a matter of twelve inches in height, it will cover an area of twenty-five 
feet or so, but much more superbly displayed when draping a bold rock or dry wall.” 
Surely we could not hope to add anything to this vivid description. Gal. cans 8-12 in. 
$1.25; pot grown, small $1.00. 
POMONA BROOM. H4-5. Very tall and vigorous, running to eight feet high with 
arching stems. Standards yellow paling to white, reverse rose. Wings amber-orange, 
keel yellow. A. M. C. H. S. Pot grown 6-10 in. 85c. 
BURK WOOD BROOM (Cytisus burkwoodi). H4-5. This is the best deep red broom we 
have seen. Color is solid garnet with practically no yellow in the flowers which are 
borne in long sprays which gets them out where they can be seen. A very free bloom¬ 
er and of decidedly vigorous growth. Pot grown 6-8 in. $1.00. 
^GEOFFREY SKIPWITH BROOM. H3-4. This variety should have distinct value 
particularly in Southern California and other similar sections, because it is the result 
of the ordinary colored brooms being crossed back again with the White Portugal 
Broom. This also accounts for its very free-blooming habit, earliness and the distinct 
coloration of the flowers which are smaller than those of the other colored brooms. 
Coloring is a very deep lavender-pink tinted with cream. A. M. C. H. S. Pot grown 
6-8 in. $1.00, 4-6 in. 85c. 
MARIA BURKWOOD BROOM. H4-5. A very recent English large-flowered variety. 
Standards are red on back, creamv-rose on face, yellow at base; wings blush red on 
outside, red within; keel creamy-yellow. Habit spreading. Pot grown 6-8 in. $1.00. 
* ALEXANDRIAN LAUREL (Danae racemosa). H3-4 (VIII). The handsome “leaves” 
of ths unusual shrub are suggestive of undersize Smilax. It grows about three feet 
tall. Has small white flowers followed by red berries. Pot grown 8-12 in. 75c. 
^CHILEAN FLOWERING HOLLY (Desfontainea spinosa). H3. On account of its 
leaves this plant is almost always taken for a Holly. However it bears long showy 
tubular scarlet and yellow flowers remotely suggesting those of Cantua. Like many 
Chilean plants it requires acid soil and the same general culture as Azaleas and Rhodo¬ 
dendrons. So extremely rare that we believe we have the only stock in the country. 
Pot grown 3-4 in. $3.00. 
*EHRETIA ELLIPTICA. H3. This rapid growing shrub or even tree is said to have 
a profusion of small white fragrant flowers followed by edible yellow fruit about 14 in. 
in diameter, but we have not had it long enough to see the flowers as yet. The leaves 
are so peculiarly like a rasp on the upper surface that they can be rubbed only one 
way. Pot grown 114-2 ft. $1.00, 1-1 14 ft. 75c. 
*ERYTHRINA INSIGNIS. H2. Said to make a small tree bearing scarlet flowers in 
short dense racemes. Available information on this species is very limited but it is con¬ 
sidered a beautiful thing. Pot grown 8-12 in. $1.00. 
ESCALLONIA DONARDENSIS. H3-4. This is a quick growing rather ^lender- 
branched shrub which bears a profusion of attractive flowers having the pleasing com¬ 
bination of pink and white usually termed “appleblossom.” This and the following 
lack the coarseness common to most Escallonias. Balled 2-214 ft. $2.00; pot grown 
8-12 in. 50c.
