CHOICE FLOWERING SHRUBS 
BOUVARDIAS. 2 to 3 feet tall. Stands temperatures as low 
as 25 degrees. An excellent showy shrub. Near the coast it will 
grow in sun or partial shade; in the warmer valleys give it more 
shade. 
Coral Gem: Rich coral-pink, year round bloomer. 
Rose Pink: Deep pink, the darkest of all. 
Humboldlii: This white flowered one is by far the most popu¬ 
lar because of the wonderful jasmine-like fragrance of its bloom. 
Popular for corsage work. Be sure to cut it back after each 
crop of flowers. This is necessary to keep it from getting 
straggly. Plants in 1-gallon containers, 40c each. 
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA. A wonderful medium sized 
shrub that will stand temperatures as low as 20 degrees. 
Throughout most of the year it produces quantities of fragrant 
deep purple flowers which gradually change to lavender and 
then to white. Likes good drainage and plenty of water. It will 
grow in sun or partial shade. 1-gallon cans, 75c to SI. 50 each, 
according to size; 5-gallon cans, $2.00 to $3.00 each. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA: The exquisitely beautiful waxy-like 
blooms of all the shades of red, pink and pure white have made 
these regal subjects so popular that production can no longer 
keep up with the demand. It is advisable to place your order 
for camellias as early in the season as possible to avoid the 
disappointment of not being able to get the variety you may 
desire. Camellias Avill do well anywhere in California except 
in the deserts and high mountains. Near the coast plant them in 
sun or partial shade in a well drained soil. Feed regularly after 
flowering until August 1st, when all feeding should stop. Do not 
let the plants want for water in late summer and fall. Our 
stock includes all the old favorites and many of the new ones 
at prices ranging from 50c to $15.00, according to size and variety. 
We try at all times to have at least 500 plants on hand for you 
to choose from. 
DAPHNE ODORA: 4 feet tall. Stands temperatures as low as 
10 degrees. A very handsome plant covered in late winter and 
early spring with delicate creamy white flowers that are de¬ 
lightfully and intensely fragrant. 
Daphne Odora Variegala: Counterpart of the preceding, with 
golden margin on leaves and pink flowers. Plant in partial shade. 
Give good drainage but water frequently. Potted plants, 75c 
each; larger hailed and hurlapped specimens, $1.50 to $2.50 each. 
GARDENIAS: For years these sweet scented beauties have 
been the pride and joy of every southern garden and the envy 
of every Yankee. Only recently have we of the southwest learned 
how to handle them successfully. For best results along the 
coast give them a well drained sunny location protected from 
cool winds. They like a slightly acid soil of 1 part leafmold, 
1 part peat and 1 part sandy loam. Apply aluminum sulphate 
occasionally to Heep the soil acid. Give more shade if planting 
in the warmer valleys. 
GARDENIA MYSTERY 
Gardenia Grandiflora: A popular large flowered variety that 
does not drop its flower buds. A good bloomer, though not as 
prolific as Veitchi. Fine foliage and liked by many. 4-inch pots, 
30c each; 1-gaIlon cans, 60c each; 5-gallon cans, $1.75 each. 
Gardenia Mystery: This one has the largest flowers and big¬ 
gest, glossiest and most luxuriant foliage of all. A very popular 
variety that can be highly recommended. Plants in 4-inch pots, 
35c each; 1-gal. containers, 60c each; 5-gal. containers, $2.00 each. 
Gardenia Radicans: A dwarf, rather prostrate, form, with 
pretty myrtle-like foliage. Very double, small, but intensely 
fragrant flowers. Plants in 4-inch pots, 50c each; 1-gallon con¬ 
tainers, 75c each. 
Gardenia Veitchi: Liked by many because of the great abun¬ 
dance of flowers it produces. Blossoms and foliage medium size. 
4-inch pots, 30c each; 1-gallon containers, 50c each. 
HIBISCUS: The very mention of the name brings thoughts of 
bright summer skies and vivid exotic flowers. We can think of 
nothing more showy than a well grown hibiscus with its gor¬ 
geous display of color. The color range is tremendous; all the 
ramifications of pink, salmon, orange yellow and red, including 
over 50 varieties. 35c to $3.50 each.
