CAMELLIA ROMANY 
Golden W onder 
Cassia artemisioides. An easy shrub to grow and one that sug¬ 
gests the native shrubs of our California deserts. The plant grows 
into almost a complete globe of fine branches, sparsely covered 
with needle-like foliage. In late summer and fall, the entire ex¬ 
terior of the plant will be covered with bright yellow flowers 
resembling an Eastern buttercup in shape, the interior stamens of 
which form a dark mass, giving the appearance of a small bee 
gathering honey within the flower. The shrub attains a height of 
about 3 feet and likes full sun. 1-gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Cassia nairoborensis. This is undoubtedly the fastest growing of 
all the Cassia or Senna group, attaining a height of about 6 feet 
quickly. The foliage is a very rich green and in the fall brilliant 
yellow flower spikes appear at the end of each branch. 1-gal. 35c. 
California Lilacs 
Ceanothus arboreus hybrid (Mountain Lilac). This is a variation 
of our native California lilac, and lends itself better to garden 
conditions than some of the other varieties. A profusion of light blue 
flowers are borne on spikes at twig ends throughout the entire 
plant. The foliage of this variety is better than many others of 
this same family. 1-gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Ceanothus cyaneus (California Lilac). This is a much-sought-after 
variety because of the deep color of its flowers, which are borne 
on comparatively large spikes all over the exterior of the plant. 
The flowers themselves are of a very desirable shade of dark 
blue. None of the California Lilacs require much water after they 
have been established. In fact watering is the cause of so many 
California Lilacs dying in our gardens. 1-gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Plumbago 
Ceratostigma larpentate (Dwarf Blue Plumbago). This is a very 
easy little shrub to grow and one that will produce an abundance 
of very brilliant dark blue flowers, about dime size, throughout 
the entire spring and summer months. It is extremely hardy and 
will do well in either sun or shade. Because of its desirable color 
it makes a splendid addition to small house bouquets. Its maximum 
height is about 20 inches. Gal. 35c. 
Ceratostigima willmottiana (Chinese Plumbago). The lovely rich 
blue flowers of this small shrub envelopes it completely from 
June until January. It grows in any kind of soil and thrives in sun 
or shade. Gal. 50c. 
Camellia 
Camellia covina. This is one of the better varieties to use where 
a more spreading type of bush is desired. The flowers themselves 
are very plentiful and of a deep rose color. This particular variety 
of Camellia was developed in Southern California and therefore, 
by natural instincts, is very well suited to our existing conditions. 
Gal. $1.00; 5-gal. $2.50. 
Camellia Lady Campbell. This is a variety of which we think 
very highly, and one that will continue to give satisfactory re¬ 
sults when planted in one's garden. The flowers are of a deep 
rose coloring and in sufficient quantity to always make this an 
attraction in the garden. Gal. $1.00; 5-gal. $2.50. 
Camellia Pink Perfection. Regardless of how many new varie¬ 
ties of Camellias are developed, the Pink Perfection still is by far 
the most popular, due to its exquisite formal type of blossom with 
petals beautifully arranged in neat order and of a delicate pink 
color. This variety naturally grows quite tall and slender, and 
should be planted in a location where it can attain its natural 
height of about 15 feet. Gal. $1.00; 5-gal. $2.50. 
Unusual Varieties of Camellias 
In the past few years many beautiful new varieties of Camellias 
have been developed. Among these many new introductions, we 
have selected some of the most promising. 
Caprice. The double creamy-white blossoms of this variety 
measure from 4 to 5 inches in diameter. This type is distinctive be¬ 
cause of its habit of sending its stamens out irregularly throughout 
the petals. Gal. $1.50; 5-gal. $3.00. 
Cheerful. This profuse bloomer has clear, cherry-red double 
blossoms. Gal. $1.00; 5-gal. $2.50. 
Daikagura. This large full double Camellia has bright rose flow¬ 
ers splotched with white. The inner petals are reduced in size 
and are curly. Gal. $1.50; 5-gal. $3.00. 
Duchess de Cases. The rose-pink and white flowers of this 
variety resemble huge double peonies. Gal. $1.50; 5-gal. $3.00. 
Jordan's Pride. This huge 5 to 6 inch semi-double Camellia is 
very fragrant. The flowers are a light rose-pink with a broad 
irregular edging of white around each petal. Gal. $1.50; 5-gal. 
$3.00. 
Montironi. This Camellia has a large cupped pure white bloom 
with one spot of pink on nearly every flower. Gal. $1.50; 5-gal. 
$3.00. 
Purity. This variety has lovely, exquisitely formed double 
snowy-white blossoms. Gal. $1.50; 5-gal. $3.00. 
Romany. The rosy-red blossoms of this variety closely resemble 
the Pink Perfection in form and size. Gal. $1.00. 
Rosita. The bright rose-pink petals of this variety are arranged 
in symmetrical rosette-like form. It is a late bloomer. Gal. $1.00; 
5-gal. $2.50. ^ 
Cestrum 
Cestrum elegans (Oriental Fuchsia). This is an erect growing 
shrub that attains a height of about 6 feet. It would be difficult 
to get any shrub to produce more color as far as blossoms and 
fruit are concerned, they being profusely borne on the plant and 
of a deep wine red color throughout the summer months. It grows 
rapidly and likes sun. 1-gal. 30c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Cestrum parqui (Night Blooming Jasmine). A good fast growing 
shrub that attains a height of about 6 feet, well covered with 
glossy green leaves and will do best when planted in the sun. 
From mid-summer to fall, the plant is profusely covered with 
clusters of creamy flowers, rather insignificant in themselves but 
giving off a very sweet spicy fragrance during the night. Even 
one of these shrubs will perfume your entire yard. 1-gal. 30c. 
Mexican Mock Orange 
Choisya ternata. This hardy shrub from Mexico develops into 
one of the best foliage plants that we have. It attains a height of 
about 6 feet and does best in sun, but will stand some shade. In 
the spring large clusters of pure white flowers, resembling orange 
blossoms both in shape and scent, appear at the tip of each 
branch. The extremely glossy, bright green foliage and compact 
shape of the plant make it a desirable addition to your garden. 
1-gal. 40c. 
Silver Bush 
Convolvulus cneorum. We feel that this plant will be popular for 
a long time to come because of its abundance of pure white, 
morning-glory like flowers and its graceful branches, well covered 
with silvery green foliage. This plant attains a height of about 
20 inches and has an exceptionally long blooming period. 1-gal. 
50c; 5-gal. $1.70. pi ant 
Coprosma baueri. A great favorite for many years where a 
quick dense foliage growth is desired. The thick, extremely glossy 
leaves grow in great profusion on the stems and the plant re¬ 
sponds readily to hedge treatment. 1-gal. 30c; 5-gal. $1.30.
