*CYTISUS decumbens, PROSTRATE BROOM. H5 (V). A good flat growing, yellow 
flowered Broom suitable for rock gardens. Pot grown 4-6 in. 75c. 
CYTISUS kewensis, KEW BROOM. H4-5 (VI). We quote an enthusiastic 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 gar¬ 
deners. 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. A. M. R. H. S. Gal. can 
1-1 % ft. $1.25; pot grown 4-6 in. 75c. 
COLORED BROOMS 
POMONA. H4-5. The best known of the Mitchell Brooms. Very tall and vigorous, run¬ 
ning 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 85c. 
BURKWOODI, BURKWOOD BROOM. 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 getting them out where they can be seen. Very free blooming and of 
decidedly vigorous growth. Pot grown 1-1*4 ft. 85c. 
*FULGENS. H4-5. A small slow-growing plant, bearing flowers of astonishing color. 
Standard bronzy-orange, wings red. Pot grown 12-15 in. $1.00. 
GEOFFREY SKIPWITH. 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. Pot grown 6-8 in. 75c. 
MARIA BURKWOOD. H4-5. A very recent English large-flowered variety. Standards 
are red on back, creamy rose on face, yellow at base; wings blush red on outside, red 
within; keel creamy-yellow. Habit spreading. Pot grown 1-1 V 2 ft. 85c.

DAPHNE. We have a long list of very rare Daphnes but will defer descriptions until 
we have considerably increased production. For Rose Queen, Pink, and White forms of 
D. odora see Part II. 
DESFONTAINEA spinosa, CHILEAN FLOWERING HOLLY. H3. On account of its 
leaves this plant is almost always taken for a Holly. However it bears in late summer 
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 Rhododendrons. So extremely rare that we believe we have the only stock in the 
country. Pot grown 4-6 in. $3.00, 3-4 in. $2.50. 
GENISTA monosperma, BRIDAL-VEIL BROOM. H3-4. Not new but uncommon. Makes 
a moderately vigorous silvery shrub decked out in early spring with an abundance of 
drooping racemes of white flowers. Handsome. Pot grown 1*4-2 ft. 75c. 
GREVILLEA obtusifolia. Hl-2. Easily one of the finest ground covers ever introduced. 
It lies perfectly flat, grows rapidly and covers 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 extremely popular in mild dis¬ 
tricts as it becomes known. Pot grown I-IV 2 ft. wide 50c; from small pots 4-6 in. 25c 
each, $18.00 per 100. 
ILEX, HOLLY. We grow a wide assortment of kinds, some very rare. For details see 
Part II. 
KALMIOPSIS leachiana. H4-5. Recently discovered in the mountains of Southern Ore¬ 
gon. Grows about 15 in. tall and requires the same culture as Azaleas. The rosy flowers 
somewhat resemble miniature Kalmias, while the foliage is about like that of Azalea 
hinodegiri. Extremely precocious, starting to bloom when only three or four inches 
tall! Will probably make a fine pot plant as well as a garden ornament. At present 
extremely scarce. Pot grown 6-8 in. $1.75, 4-6 in. $1.50, 3-4 in. $1.25. 
*LAVANDULA pedunculata, PLUME LAVENDER. H4. Plant is much like common 
Lavender, but each flower spike is surmounted by three rich purple plumes about an 
inch long making it entirely unlike anything else. Blooms summer and winter here. 
Pot grown 6-8 in. 60c.
