GERMAIN'S NEW 
BILBERGIA NUTANS 
We do not usually think of green flowered subjects as attractive. Here is one 
however that is more than just out of the ordinary. Unique in ail its detail is 
perhaps the best description of it. Its clusters of green, edged blue nodding flowers 
with rose colored sepal sheaths in contrast, provide the unusual. Attractive beyond 
a doubt. The foliage is pineapple-like grey green. The plant is easily grown in pots 
or in the ground in shade or semi-shade and a well established clump carries many 
flower clusters before the season is over. 40c each, postpaid 50c.

ABUTILON VITIFOLIUM 
A New Blue-Flowering Maple 
This Abutilon species from Chile differs markedly from varieties known in Cali- > 
fornia gardens in that its flowers open flat and are held upright in clusters of from 
three to six. The color varies from dark purplish blue to pale sky blue but in all 
cases the dark blue cluster of stamens at the center of the flower set off the crepe 
texture of the less intensely colored petals admirably. 
In spring the six-inch flowers spangle the entire bush whose dark green, fuzzy, 
maple-like foliage acts as a perfect foil for the masses of attractive blooms which 
are followed by intricate fuzzy seed pods of a decided interest in themselves. 
The plant attains some twelve feet in height and requires partial shade, shelter 
from warm winds and plenty of moisture. North exposures and cool coastal con¬ 
ditions are recommended. 
4- inch pots, 35c each. 
$3.50 dozen. 
5- Inch pots 50c each. 
$5.00 dozen.
