50 c. 
*EUCALYPTUS CINEREA. H3. Valuable for its beautiful silvery foliage which 
stays in the juvenile form for many years and is greatly sought after for decorations. 
It is of extremely rapid growth and is probably the hardiest of all the Eucalyptus as in 
its native habitat the ground is often covered with snow for two months. Can be 
widely used in parts of California where all other kinds are too tender. Gal. can 4-5 
ft. $1.00, 3-4 ft. 75c; pot grown l%-2 ft. 50c. 
FLOWERING EUCALYPTUS. The following are only shrubs or very small trees, 
making them suitable for gardens of small or medium size. These are still quite rare 
but on account of their beauty and limited proportions will probably become very popu¬ 
lar. So far demand has exceeded supply. 
E. caesia. H2. Small tree; grows to only 12 or 15 ft. tall bearing beautiful pink 
flowers. Pot grown l%-2 ft. $1.00. 
E. preissiana. H2. Small tree with very striking lemon-yellow flowers. Pot 
grown 1-1% ft. $1.00. 
E. sepulcralis. H2. The only true weeping Eucalyptus. It may attain 20 to 25 ft. 
and bears a profusion of yellow flowers highly decorative both on tree and when 
cut. Pot grown 1-1% ft. $1.00. 
E. torquata. H2. Rather vigorous grower but making only a small tree with usual 
type of foliage. Flowers of good size, red overlaid with gold. Gal. can 2-3 ft. 
$1.50; pot grown 1-1% ft. $1.00. 
LILLI PILLI TREE (Eugenia smithi). Hl-2. Australian large shrub or small tree 
which is highly esteemed for its enormous crop of lavender berries. They keep well 
when cut and are very beautiful for decorations. A. M. C. H. S. Pot grown 6-8 in. 60c. 
*INDIA LACEBUSH (Eupatorium cannabinum). H3. Medium sized shrub of quick 
growth from Northern India. Blooms almost constantly, particularly if the flowers are 
continually cut. As it belongs, to the Composite Family the white, slightly fragrant 
flowers are borne in small heads compounded into large umbels or cymes several inches 
broad. It is delightful when cut and used either alone in large masses or mixed with 
other flowers as is Gypsophylla. Will keep a week or so after cutting and by that 
time a new crop of flowers will be ready. Potgrown 2 ft. 60c. 
GREVILLEA CRITHMIFOLIA. H2-3. A very attractive shrub growing about four 
ft. tall with finely divided rich green foliage, making it handsome at any time of the 
year. Bears white flowers in short compact clusters. Pot grown l%-2 ft. $1.00. 
GREVILLEA OBTUSIFOLIA. Hl-2. Easily one of the finest ground covers ever in¬ 
troduced. It lies perfectly flat, grows rapidly and covers the ground completely. Leaves 
are small and narrow. Even when very young, it blooms profusely. Flowers are red 
and of the same peculiar shape as all other Grevilleas. It should become enormously 
popular as it becomes known. Pot grown 6-8 in. 50c. 
SPANISH SUN ROSE (Helianthemum lasianthum) (H. formosum). H3-4 (VIII). 
Low shrub with grayish leaves. The attractive flowers are formed like Rockroses but 
are bright yellow with a red spot at the base of each petal. Prefers full sun and will 
thrive in limy soils. Gal. can 1-1% ft. 60c. 
*OSBORNE LACEBARK (Hoheria populnea osbornei). H2-3. The New Zealand 
Lacebarks are very beautiful white flowering trees which are sure to become popular 
in California as stock of them becomes available. This variety is an exceptionally free 
flowering form. The white flowers have conspicuous bluish-purple stamens. Branches 
droop so strongly that it must be kept staked! when young, but will ultimately make 
a large shrub or small tree about 8-10 ft. tall. Pot grown, grafted 8-12 in. $1.00. 
*CHINESE-HAT PLANT (Holmskioldia sanguinea). Hl-2. This very remarkable 
shrub may attain 10 ft. or more. The large flower clusters have a striking brick-red 
color suggesting some of the finest Bougainvilleas. Pot grown 8-12 in. 75c. 
HYMENANTHERA CRASSIFOLIA. H4-5 (VII). An interesting and odd rock gar¬ 
den shrub. Branches grow irregularly; leaves are small; flowers inconspicuous but 
followed by small berries like miniature bird eggs, white, veined blue. Pot grown 1-1% 
ft. 50c. 
*HYBRID HOLLY (Ilex aquiperni). H4-5. These are seedlings of Ilex pernyi crossed 
with Ilex aquifolium and have plants showing every imaginable gradation in foliage 
between the parents. What the bearing habits will be is impossible to predict, but we 
expect that some of them will be very fine. Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c. 
*ILEX CILIOSPINOSA. H4-5 (VII). An extremely rare Holly from Western China 
of medium size, attaining probably 12 to 15 ft. We have not yet fruited it, but it is 
said to bear red berries. Pot grown 8-12 in. $1.50.
