Sparkle Bush 
Cuphea hyssopifolia. Exquisite, dainty. Foliage forms solid 
mass of narrow, bright green leaves, with profusion of delicate pink 
flowers. Will do better under semi-shade or full shade. Height 12 
inches. Can be trimmed as a hedge. Gal. 35c. 
Sweet Daphne 
Daphne odora marginata. This sweet scented shrub has practi¬ 
cally the identical growing requirements as Camellia, so may be 
used in similar locations. This is a slow growing plant of com¬ 
pact habit to about 3 feet height. The extremely sweet scented 
flower clusters appear during the winter months and are of a 
light pink color, with inner side of the petals fading to a white. 
Everyone enjoys the fragrance of this flower and the shrub itself 
makes a very ornamental addition to one's garden. Gal. $1.00; 
5-gal. $2.00. 
Breath of Heaven 
Diosma pulchrum (Pink Breath of Heaven). This is a compara¬ 
tively new shrub to Southern California and one which we believe 
to have a long stay of popularity. This beautiful plant is from 
3 to 4 feet high and of a globular shape. It would be difficult for 
any plant to produce more flowers than does this Diosma, it being 
covered with dainty, bright pink flowers throughout the entire 
summer months. The foliage is fine and needle-like, and small 
sprays may be picked and used as a filler for a dainty bouquet. 
The individual flowers are only a quarter of an inch across, and 
are borne on the twigs so thick that color can be seen on the 
shrub, even from a considerable distance. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Diosma reevsi. A bright green globe shaped shrub attaining a 
height of about 3 feet, with very fine needle-like foliage and very 
tiny, dainty white flowers which appear on the plant all summer 
long and give the appearance that they have been sprinkled on 
the plant from above. The leaves themselves are extremely aro¬ 
matic, with much the same scent as Bay leaves. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. 
$1.50. 
Golden Dewdrop 
Duranta plumieri. This is a very rapid growing shrub, and one 
that presents a striking appearance when in full berry. The tall, 
gracefully arching stems attain a height of about 10 feet and the 
shrub is liberally covered with lavender and white flowers in 
early summer, which are followed by light orange berries which 
hang on the plant in pendant chains, as though they might be 
strung beads or golden dewdrops, as the name implies. Gal. 
can 35 c. 
Eugenia 
Eugenia hookeri. A good ornamental plant that can be used 
either as a trimmed formal specimen, or allowed to grow naturally 
into a small tree. This is a rapid grower with good foliage and 
bearing a heavy crop of purplish red berries in late summer. 
These berries are edible, the juice of which makes a satisfactory 
jelly. Gal. 30c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Eugenia myrtifolia fBrush Cherry). There are few plants that 
present a more solid effect than does this beautiful Eugenia. Its 
growth is tall and erect, developing very little spread, and the 
foliage remains extremely dense throughout the entire height of 
the plant. The new growth possesses a bright reddish cast, in¬ 
creasing the beauty of the plant. One of the best plants that we 
have for tall hedges. It also bears edible berries in late fall. This 
variety is one of the best to use as a wind-break surrounding a 
badminton court. Gal. 30c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Eugenia myrtifolia variegata (Variegated Brush Cherry). The 
habit of growth of this variegated type is very similar to that of 
the Eugenia myrtifolia, the main difference being that the foliage 
is of a lighter green and has almost white variegations on the leaf 
edges. We would suggest this plant for foliage contrasts in mass 
planting effects. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $2.00. 
Eugenia uniflora (Surinam Cherry). This variety grows into a 
more spreading shrub of good compact habit. The leaves are 
broad, almost heart-shape. The fruit borne during the summer 
months is its most striking characteristic, being of a very brilliant 
red and about the size of a large cherry with heavy ribs running 
lengthwise of the fruit. This fruit is highly prized by some people 
as a source of jelly. Gal. 35c. 
Eseallonias 
Escallonia montevidensis. A rapid growing shrub to 10 feet, and 
one that will thrive in a reasonably poor soil. The shrub grows 
with long erect branches which are liberally covered with small 
white flowers throughout the summer. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Escallonia rosea (Pink Escallonia). This fast-growing importation 
from South America attains a height of about 12 feet and bears a 
profusion of soft pink flowers during the summer months. The 
foliage is heavy enough to make this plant satisfactory for screen- 
in purposes where considerable height is desired. Gal. 35c. 
Escallonia rosea nana (Dwarf Pink Escallonia). This variety is 
simply a smaller edition of the preceding one and therefore will be 
suited to slightly different use. The pink flowers are practically the 
same, and general characteristics of growth, except that this plant 
does not attain the size of the Escallonia rosea. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. 
$1.50. 
Escallonia rubra (Ruby Escallonia). This is the smallest growing 
of all the Escallonia family and possibly the most striking in 
appearance, due to its very glossy, dark green foliage and a 
profusion of deep wine-red flowers during the summer months. Its 
habit of growth is very spreading and the plant remains compact 
in form with a maximum height of about 4 feet. Gal. 40c; 5-qal 
$1.50. 
Fuchsias 
Fuchsia corymbosa. This variety always attracts attention be¬ 
cause of its extremely brilliant crimson flowers which are some¬ 
times as long as 4 inches from the tips of the long stamens to the 
base of the flower. The foliage of this variety is good and will 
make a splendid addition to the Fuchsia collection. Gal. 40c. 
Fuchsia phenomenal. This is a variety very well described in its 
name because the flowers are truly phenomenal, being very large 
in size, with an extremely double, purple center and brilliant red 
sepals which radiate around the base of the petals. The foliage 
of this variety is fine and the plant is generally an upright grower. 
Gal. 30c. 
Fuchsia feu tryphylla. This Fuchsia is of a rather spreading habit 
with an abundance of red tubular flowers, and a very definite 
reddish tinge to the foliage, giving the plant a very unusual 
effect. Gal. 30c. 
Fuchsia storm king. This is always a very popular variety be¬ 
cause of its extremely showy flowers and excellent foliage. The 
flowers have a very double, white center with bright red sepals 
which stand out at right angles to the stem around the flower. 
The stamens protrude from the center of the flower and are a 
deep, bright red. Gal. 30c.
