PART I 
CONIFERS 
ABIES nordmanniana, NORDMANN FIR. H5 (IV). Nearly all the Firs take high rank 
as ornamental trees due to their symmetry, stateliness and general beauty. This one is 
usually considered the finest of all; its compact well filled branches are clothed with 
exceptionally rich dark green foliage. It takes eight to ten years to raise a plant of 
salable size; after that it does better, but never gains height rapidly. Balled 4-5 ft. $8.00, 
3-4 ft. $6.00, 21/2-3 ft. $5.00, 2-21/2 ft. $4.00, lV 2 -2 ft. $3.00. 
ABIES pinsapo glauca, BLUE SPANISH FIR. H4-5 (VI). Entitled to rank among the 
aristocrats for both scarcity and beauty. It is a variety of the beautiful Spanish Fir 
with bluish green, decidedly glaucous leaves. It can be reproduced only by grafting so 
will always be scarce and whoever has one may well be proud of it. Balled 214-3 ft. $5.00, 
2-214 ft. $4.00, 114-2 ft. $3.00; pot grown 1-114 ft. $1.00. 
CEDRUS atlantica glauca, BLUE ATLAS CEDAR. H4-5 (VI). The most magnificent 
silver hued conifer. Rather thin when young but with age fills out fully and symetrically. 
Makes a large tree, so requires plenty of room. Balled 12-14 ft. $20.00, 10-12 ft. $15.00, 
8-10 ft. $10.00, 6-8 ft. $7.50, 5-6 ft. $5.00, 3-4 ft. $3.50. 
*CHAMAECYPARIS obtusa nana, DWARF JAPANESE CEDAR. H5 (III). Ours is 
the genuine extremely dwarf type. The favorite tree in Japan for dwarfing; plants fifty 
years or older are often less than two feet tall. Excellent for rock gardens or dish cul¬ 
ture. Pot grown 4-6 in. $1.25, 3-4 in. $1.00. 
*LIBOCEDRUS chilensis, CHILEAN INCENSE CEDAR, H3-4 (VIII). A very pleasing 
conifer of pyramidal habit. Foliage softer green than in L. decurrens. Makes a fairly 
large tree. Growth moderate. Balled 4-5 ft. $4.00; pot grown 8-12 in. $1.00. 
PICE A glauca conica, DWARF ALBERTA SPRUCE. H5 (I). A delightful minature 
tree whose growth is so exceedingly slow that it does not make more than an inch or 
two a year. When only a few inches tall it has a perfectly conical shape which is always 
retained. If grown in a pot or tub it makes a beautiful table tree for Xmas and is also 
highly attractive in rock gardens and other suitable locations. Balled 114-2 ft. $5.00, 
1-114 ft. $4.00, 8-12 in. $2.00, 6-8 in. $1.50. 
*PICEA pungens kosteriana, FOSTER BLUE SPRUCE. H5 (I). A very well known 
intensely silvery Spruce. Its growth is extremely slow when young so that it takes a 
nurseryman seven or eight years to grow one to smallest salable size. Like many coni¬ 
fers its rate of growth increases later. Balled 6-7 ft. $20.00, 5-6 ft. $15.00, 114-2 ft. $3.50, 
15-18 in. $3.00.

BROAD LEAVED EVERGREENS 
*ABELIA hyb. Edward Goucher. H5 (VI). This new hybrid between A. granfiflora and 
A. schumanni has a better habit than either parent. Growth compact; evergreen in mild 
climates and bears a profusion of lilac pink flowers during most of the summer. Pot 
grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
ALYOGYNE hakeaefolia. H2-3? A most beautiful newcomer from Western Australia. 
Flowers are large, funnel shaped, lilac-blue with red throat. It grows rapidly and blooms 
profusely over a long period. Should be cut back to firm wood every year. All who see 
it admire it. Pot grown 114-2 ft. 75c. 
ANIGOZANTHUS manglesi, KANGAROO PAW. H3-4. Members of California Horti¬ 
cultural Society will remember the veritable sensation caused when this was exhibited 
at the Oct. 1939 meeting. It is an evergreen herbaceous plant related to Amaryllis and 
having Iris-like foliage. The inflorescence is most astonishing as it throws up a strong- 
bright red stalk about eighteen inches tall surmounted by vivid metallic green flowers 
of most unusual form. Altogether a very striking and also very beautiful combination. 
From small pots 75c. 
AUCUBA japonica Male. H4-5 (VII). Many gardens contain “Gold Dust” Aucubas which 
never set fruit. This is because they must be pollinated and will then bear the large 
glossy red berries which add so much to their winter beauty. One male plant is enough 
to pollinate several females. The bees will do the work. Plants offered are slightly 
golden variegated. Balled IV 2-2 ft. $1.50; pot grown 6-8 in. 60c.
