Rare Perennials , Continued 
Two eTflost Effective Tassion TJines 
These quick growing Passion Vines are quite indispensable for California gardens for they serve 
their purpose in quicker time and with more lasting effect than most vines and in our mild climate their 
evergreen foliage is always lovely. 
SCARLET-RED PASSION VINE (Passiflora manicata), is quite in a class by itself because 
its many flowers of scarlet-vermilion stand out most effectively against the dense, glossy, 
bright green foliage. This vine is adapted to fence or wall or trellis for which it rapidly 
makes an ideal covering; the 
bloom is borne through summer 
and fall and well into the win¬ 
ter. Strong plants in 3-inch pots, 
3 for $ 1; each 40c. 
PINK PASSION VINE (Passiflora 
mollissima), is quite without an 
equal for rapidly covering 
trellis or pergola or for growing 
up through a live oak or other 
tree. An extraordinarily ram¬ 
pant grower when once estab¬ 
lished. Its large 5-inch-wide pink 
flowers hang downwards with 
lovely effect and these are fol¬ 
lowed by oval golden seed-pods, 
4 inches or more in length, 
which are not only most attract¬ 
ive but edible. Strong plants in 
3-inch pots, 3 for $1; each 40c. 
For shipment beyond 3rd zone, 
add 10c per plant. 
SCHIZOSTYLUS COCCINEA, Mrs. Hegerty—Lovely plant of the iris family with clumps of 
grassy leaves and 2-inch pink cup flowers strung along its 2-foot stems. Blooms in late fall and 
early winter. Each 3 5c. 
THYME—The old-fashioned kind that grows several inches high, with its aromatic fragrance. Field- 
grown plants, 3 for 5 0c, each 2 0c. 
MOTHER OF THYME, Serpyllum azoricus, is the creeping Thyme that makes a perfect 
fragrant carpet of deep green with a mass of rosy-lavender bloom during the summer months.

The finest Strain of Transvaal TDaisies 
( Qerberas ) LAt Jffelv Low ^Prices 
These are large, undivided, field-grown plants, each with its mass of long, strong roots, of the 
New Hybrid Transvaal Daisies in choicest colors. They include shades of scarlet, white, yellow, orange, 
pink and the delicate and greatly admired pastel shades. They are fully matured, well grown plants that 
will start blooming soon after planting, weather permitting, and provide you with abundant flowers all 
season long, large blooms on very long stems, ideal for cutting because they last so well and hold up their 
heads like the thoroughbreds they are. Our new strain is the finest obtainable. 
Transvaal Daisies are one of the most useful and ornamental garden perennials you can grow. They 
are easily managed and ask for little care. They like full sun and must be planted with the head or crown 
of each plant clump set well up, even though half an inch or more of the root top shows above the soil, 
for if planted so that water stands around the crown the plant will suffer. They prefer a light, sandy 
soil. 
We offer our very finest stock at these low prices: 
3 Plants for 40c; 6 for 75c; 12 for $1.2 5; 2 5 for $2.3 5. 
Delivery charges prepaid within the 3rd zone; beyond that add 3 cents per plant to partly pay 
shipping costs. 
Try a mass planting of 2 5 of these choice Gerberas and you will have a glorious blaze of color all 
season long that will be the chief joy of your gardening experience!
