DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
\ 
ACER palmatum, JAPANESE MAPLE. H5 (V). These shrubs or small trees are high¬ 
ly esteemed for their slow growth and attractive appearance. In hot sunny climes they 
need partial shade, elsewhere any exposure. Many forms have been developed in Japan. 
We are growing about twenty varieties including the well known “Ribbonleaf Purple,” 
“Cutleaf Purple” (Benishidare), etc. Leaves of others have many forms, variegated, 
deeply cut, twisted, etc. Tell us the types you want and we will make suitable selections. 
Pot grown 2-3 ft. $1.50, l%-2 ft. $1.25, 1-1% ft. $1.00. 
*BERBERIS aggregata barbarossa. H5 (V). Imported from Ireland. Originator’s de¬ 
scription: “The heaviest fruiter of all; sells at sight. Extremely handsome when laden 
with its numerous fine (red) fruits.” Pot grown 1-1% ft. 75c. 
CERATOSTIGMA willmottianum, CHINESE PLUMBAGO. H4-5 (VII?). Since last 
year we have noticed use of common name shown. This delightful small shrub bears 
a wealth of deep blue flowers all through summer and even for some time after the 
first frosts. Even now (Dec. 15) it is still showing some bloom. Much superior to older 
sorts. Field grown, bushy 2-3 ft. $1.00, l%-2 ft. 75c; gal. can 2-3 ft. 75c; pot grown 
l%-2 ft. 60c. 
*CERCIS canadensis alba, WHITE JUDAS-TREE. H5 (V). It surely seems paradoxical 
for a Redbud to bear pure white flowers. Profuse bloomer. 4-6 ft. $2.00, 3-4 ft. $1.75, 2-3 
ft. $1.50. 
*CERCIS racemosa. H4-5 (VI-VII). Unlike all other Redbuds this oriental species bears 
its rosy pink flowers in racemes up to four inches long instead of in sessile clusters. 
Has not bloomed here yet but is vigorous and said to be very fine. 2-3 ft. $1.50, 1%^2 
ft. $1.25, 1-1 y 2 ft. $1.00. 
*CYTISUS purpureus pendulus, WEEPING PURPLE BROOM. H5 (V). This charming 
plant should be far better known. Every slender branch is covered for its entire length 
with bluish purple flowers, pea-shaped like other Brooms. We grow it in two entirely 
different forms for two distinct purposes. Grafted low it makes a good prostrate plant 
suitable for rock gardens, etc. When top-grafted on straight stems the branches arch 
at once, then grow directly downward making a most beautiful individual specimen. 
Grafted low, pot grown 6-8 in. 60c; top grafted, field grown on 4 ft. stems $2.00; gal. 
can, 3 ft. stems $1.50. 
DAUBENTONIA tripetti, SCARLET WISTERIA TREE. H3. A very rapid growing 
shrub or small tree which bears profusely all summer. The flowers are orange-red, pea¬ 
shaped and borne in clusters. The whole plant is extremely showy over a long period. 
It must be grown in full sun and should be severely pruned every fall. Pot grown 3-4 
ft. 75c. 
*EDGEWORTHIA papyrifera (E. chrysantha), GOLDEN PAPERTREE. H4. Closely 
related to Daphne with very flexible, tough branches. Attains five or six feet. Bears a 
good crop of fragrant yellow flowers in dense terminal clusters in spring. Pot grown 
2-2% ft. 75c, l%-2 ft. 50c. 
*FORSYTHIA intermedia spectabilis. H5 (V). Forsythias are well known and there 
are several kinds but this is easily the best of the lot. Color bright gold; branches 
erect, admirably adapted for cutting. This has been featured every spring for several 
years in the widely known flower store of Podesta and Baldocchi, San Francisco. 3-4 
ft. $1.25, 2-3 ft. $1.00, l%-2 ft. 75c. 
*KOLKWITZIA amabilis, BEAUTYBUSH. H5 (V). Now well known in California but 
not used as widely as it should be we think. Does not bloom freely the first year or two^ 
but after that it loads its branches with masses of soft pink flowers until they arch with 
the weight. 4-6 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.00, 2-3 ft. 75c, 1-1% ft. 50c. 
*LONICERA fragrantissima, WINTER HONEYSUCKLE. H5 (V). Semi-evergreen 
shrub with spreading and arching branches. Flowers white and intensely fragrant, borne 
in late winter and early spring. 3-4 ft. $1.25, 2-3 ft. $1.00, l%-2 ft. 75c.
