YUCCA FILAMENTOSA

among coniferous evergreens in foundation plantings.

strong stalk 5' tall with an immense branching head of 
large drooping creamy bells. Perfectly hardy anywhere, 
lending a tropical appearance to our northern gardens.

ZAUSCHNERIA (Zausch-neer'-i-a) — 
Humming Bird Fuschia 
One of the showiest of plants having brilliant fuschia- 
like blooms on somewhat shrubby bushlets. At home in 
full sun. Especially good for wall or rockery planting 
but equally good in the sunny border. 
*californica —Forms a mass of prostrate silvery foliage with 
clouds of bright scarlet trumpets in late summer and 
fall. Very fine. 35c each; 3 for 95c 
FLOWERING SHRUBS 
The many and varied uses of flowering shrubs certainly 
justify their use in every planting, large or small. 
There is no better background for the large perennial 
border than these and for the small border a few shrubs 
judiciously placed add charm as well as affording light 
shade for the plants demanding protection from the full 
sun. They are also used extensively for foundation 
plantings, informal hedges, screens, etc. No planting is 
complete without at least a few of the better type shrubs. 
One-year shrubs may be shipped by parcel post. All 
larger sizes will be shipped Express Collect.

blooms. A new plant that merits the highest recom¬ 
mendation. 50c each 
*latifolia—A little more upright in growth with deep green 
foliage. Very floriferous. Well worth a trial. 
35c each; 3 for 95c
