TUTTLE BROS. NURSERIES 
*TRAILING PLEROMA (Schizacentron elegrans) 
A low creeping vine forming a dense carpet. The 
thin, reddish stems and small, bright green leaves 
form an excellent background for the many inch-wide, 
bright red flowers that appear from spring until win¬ 
ter. Flourishes, apparently, in either sun or shade. 
For beds, borders or used as a ground cover, we believe 
this plant to be one of our best. Presents a neat ap¬ 
pearance at all times. 2 V 2 inch pots. Gal. containers, 
35c. 
TRANSVAAL DAISY (Gerbera Jamesonii Hybrid) 
Plant in full sun in a well drained soil. Be careful 
in pla,nting to see that the crowns are not covered. 
Use no fertilizer. When you water, irrigate, do not 
sprinkle. Make irrigations thorough but only as often 
as is absolutely necessary to keep the plants in con¬ 
dition. In most soils if cultivation is practiced, irri¬ 
gations at intervals of one week to ten days should 
be sufficient. If your soil does not drain readily, hill 
up the soil and plant above the level of the surround¬ 
ing ground. Blooming period, June until December 
or January. Probably no one perennial has brought 
as much happiness to Southern California as has 
the Transvaal Daisy. 
Pink, red, white, yellow or orange. Division, 20c each. 
Gal. containers. 
Double Pink. Gal. containers. 
TULIP POPPY (Hunnemannia fumariaefolia) 
A shrubbery perennial. Foliage like the California 
poppy but lighter in color. Flowers same in size as 
California poppy but canary-yellow in color. Plant 
in sun. Gal. containers. 
VALERIAN (Valeriana rubra) 
An attractive perennial, well foliaged with clean, 
inch-long leaves that are slightly touched with gray. 
Dense spikes of scarlet flowers appear in profusion 
through most of the year. Grows to three feet in 
height and as broad as tall. Plant in sun. 3 inch pots. 
Gal. containers. 
VERBENA 
If you wish a maximum of color with a minimum of 
expense and labor, plant verbenas. They will reward 
you from spring until winter with their warm, fra¬ 
grant flowers. Properly cared for. Verbenas should 
thrive for about three years. Cut back severely about 
February 1 and give them a heavy application of dairy 
fertilizer. Plant in sun.

rdd, salmon, white, yellow. 2% inch pots. Gal. con¬ 
tainers.
