BRACHYSEMA lanceolatum (B. acuminatum), SWAN RIVER PEA BUSH. H3. This 
newcomer from Australia belongs in the select but limited company of shrubs that 
bloom practically the entire year. It is said that in Australia it will thrive under the 
most exposed and adverse conditions. Leaves are lanceolate and decidedly glaucous. 
Flowers are pea-shaped and brilliant red, but do not emerge fully from the calyx so 
never open widely. Pot grown I-IV 2 ft. 75c. 
BRUNFELSIA calycina grandiflora. H2-3. The type form B. calycina, also called B. 
floribunda, has become fairly well known. It is a superb shrub bearing masses of 
flowers at first violet, then blue and finally fading to white. Intensely fragrant at all 
stages. This variety differs in its larger flowers and foliage. It is also a faster grower 
with more open habit. Grafted plants gal. can I-IV 2 ft. $1.50. 
CALODENDRON capense, CAPE CHESTNUT. H2. Considered one of the most beauti¬ 
ful trees of South Africa. The large rosy-lilac flowers are borne in large terminal 
clusters. A very beautiful tree indeed, but will not stand much cold. Pot grown l 1 4-2 
ft. 75c. 
*CEANOTHUS impressus, SANTA BARBARA WILD LILAC. H3. A gorgeous species 
(or possibly a variety of C. dentatus) just becoming known. Makes a compact, rounded 
shrub of good size with very small rough leaves and loaded in spring with deep blue 
flowers. Excellent. From small pots 8-12 in. 35c. 
HYBRID CEANOTHUS 
* AUTUMNAL BLUE. H4 (VIII). This English hybrid really lives up to its name. It 
not only blooms in spring, but last fall flowered in mid-September, again in late Oc¬ 
tober and as we write in early December it is about to flower again! Very vigorous and 
precocious. A. M. R. H. S. Pot grown I-IV 2 ft. $1.00.

is suitable for rock gardens or where a small plant is appropriate. It gets only IV 2 
feet tall with a compact rounded outline. Leaves are about like those of carnations. 
In summer it literally covers itself with rose-pink flowers about % inch wide. Every¬ 
one who sees this likes it. Pot grown I-IV 2 ft. 75c. 
CISTUS corbariensis. H3-4 (VII). Flowers are snow-white on good erect stems. Foli¬

COLEONEMA pulchrum, PINK BREATH OF HEAVEN. H3-4. Grows in almost per¬ 
fect globular form and beginning here about February 1 literally covers itself with a 
mass of small deep rose flowers. Stays in bloom about two months. Far hardier than 
white species and was not hurt here by freeze of January, 1937. Pot grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
*CORREA pulchella. H3-4. It is indeed a pleasure to offer this beautiful Australian 
hybrid. It has dainty pink, hanging, bell-shaped flowers about an inch long. Commences 
to bloom about mid-October and continues all through winter. Neat green foliage and 
somewhat spreading habit; probably will not exceed three feet in height. Best of all 
it is entirely hardy here. Neither the flowers nor the plants showed any injury in 
January, 1937, when so many things were killed. Highly recommended! * Pot grown 
I-IV 2 ft. $1.00.

which is now “official.” Growth is low and spreading, almost prostrate. Leaves are 
very small, about like those of Lonicera nitida and evergreen. Berries are bright red, 
of good size and borne all along the slender branches. A rather shy bearer at first but 
later it loads itself with enormous crops. Balled 1*4-2 ft. $1.50; pot grown 1*4-2 ft.
