Silver Berry 
Eleagnus pungens variegata. This is a slow-growing shrub that 
is classed as a foliage plant entirely, but one that it would be 
difficult to duplicate in its striking appearance. An oddity of this 
plant is that the new growing shoots appear as though they were 
dead and dried up, being of a rusty brown coloring. This shrub 
will maintain heavy foliage right down to the ground and is of a 
very spreading habit of growth. Approximate height, 6 to 8 feet. 
Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. Heathers 
Erica blanda (Pink French Heather). One of the more delicate 
growing heather plants possessing foliage of a fine, feathery tex¬ 
ture. The flowers are particularly striking because of their very 
long tubular shape, and reddish-pink color tinged with white. Like 
all of the heathers, this is a sun lover. Gal. 40c. 
Erica codonoides alba (White Heather). We are more than glad 
to see this variety, which was quite popular 10 or 12 years ago, 
coming back to its rightful place now. This type is very easy to 
grow and when it is in bloom during the spring months, presents 
the appearance of being covered with snow because the pure 
white flowers are borne very heavily on the branchlets. Approxi¬ 
mate height is about 5 feet and the plant is hardy in all respects. 
Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Erica melanthera rosea (Pink Scotch Heather). Everyone who is 
familiar with the heather family knows the Erica melanthera, or 
the variety which is called Scotch heather in this country. This 
rosea type is practically a duplicate of its parent plant, except that 
the flowers are a deep rosy pink color and appear in late fall and 
early winter, about the time to make them particularly desirable 
for Christmas decorations. This variety is easy to grow, and does 
best in full sun and has many uses, such as screen-planting or as a 
specimen plant, and will combine beautifully where used with 
other shrubs in mass planting effects. Gal. 40c; 3-4' $1.70. 
Erica mediterranea hybrid (Dwarf Mediterranean Heather). The 
habit of growth of this dwarf variety is quite in contrast with other 
heathers, but where used in rockeries or as a low border plant it 
is highly satisfactory. A single plant will sometimes attain a 
spread of 3 feet and yet not grow over 12 inches high. The plant 
is well covered with fine, dull green foliage, and very heavily 
covered during the fall with small, lavender, tubular flowers. 
Gal. 40c. 
Erica president felix faure (Red French Heather). This is un¬ 
doubtedly the most striking, from a color standpoint, of all of the 
heather family because of its bright fiery-red, tubular flowers 
which attain a length of about 1 inch and radiate around the 
stem in great profusion. The foliage is of a feathery, delicate green, 
giving the plant a very airy appearance. Gal. 40c. 
Erica hyalina (Coral French Heather). Like all of the French 
heathers, this one has the very long, tubular flowers common to 
that type, but the color of this particular one is a beautiful coral 
red and is a prolific flower producer in early summer. The shrub 
attains a height of about 3 feet and is well covered with a very 
fine, feathery, light green foliage. Gal. 40c. 
Euonymous 
Euonymous japonica. All of the Euonymous family are primarily 
foliage plants, and this is one of the few that does not have a 
variegated leaf. This plant will stand either sun or shade and 
will grow very successfully in the drier climatic sections of Cali¬ 
fornia. Lends itself excellently as a hedge plant or a trimmed 
specimen. Gal. 30c; 5-gal. $1.50; 18"-24" pyramid $2.00. 
Euonymous japonica aureo-variegatus. This variety lends a great 
deal of color to a hedge when used as such, because of the 
brilliant golden-yellow, irregular spots on the central portion of 
the leaves. Growth is rapid and like the majority of the Euony 
mous, will thrive in either sun or shade and is extremely hardy 
Gal. 35c. 
Euonymous japonica aureo-marginatus. This variety, in growth 
and general habits is practically identical to the preceding variety, 
except that the leaf coloring is reversed. The brilliant yellow 
coloring is on the edges of the leaves, while the center portion is 
a bright green. Will give splendid results in massed effect o? 
for hedge usage. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50; 12"-l 5" $1.50. 
Euonymous kewensis. This is a comparatively new importation 
from the famous Kew Gardens of London and has an entirely 
different habit of growth from all the others. It is a true creeping 
plant and will give excellent results when used as a ground cover 
for dry locations, although it will stand an average amount of 
watering. Gal. 35c. 
Euonymous pulchellus variegatus. This is possibly the miniature 
of the Euonymous family. It attains a maximum of only about 2 
feet in height and lends itself very successfully to low hedges of 
not over 1 foot in height. This variety will do exceptionally well 
in part or full shade. The tiny, variegated green leaves present a 
Fragrant Gardenias 
Gardenia grandiflora. Everyone is familiar with this beautiful 
flower because of the delicious fragrance which it gives off. The 
plant itself grows into a beautiful shrub and is very easy to grow, 
now that special fertilizers are being manufactured for Gardenia 
use. The flowers on this variety are large, frequently being from 3 
inches to 4 inches across and of an absolutely pure white, velvety 
texture. Have some of these plants in your own yard and thereby 
supply your own corsages. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.80. 
Gardenia mystery. This is practically the same as the grand’- 
flora in all characteristics of bloom and habit of growth. TL- 
flowers appear during the summer months and the only difference 
between the two varieties is possibly that the mystery is better 
suited to forcing under hothouse conditions. Gal. 60c; 5-gal. $/ JO- 
Gardenia veitchi (Everblooming Gardenia). Although the flowers 
of this variety are smaller than Ihe two preceding types, the de¬ 
lightful fragrance of the pure white flowers is the same. The in¬ 
dividual blossoms average about 2 inches across and the petals 
are more inclined to be pointed. A plant of this variety usually 
produces more flowers than the others, even though they are 
smaller in size. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Pineapple Guava 
Feijoa sellowiana (Pineapple Guava). This is one of the most 
practical shrubs we have to offer because it not only furnishes a 
delicious fruit the taste of which suggests the tropics, but it also 
makes a very ornamental, large shrub. The beautiful, long sta- 
mened flowers with their thick, curled-up petals of a rather light 
rose pink make a beautiful effect against the silvery green back¬ 
ground of foliage. The fruit, when ripe in late fall, is, almost 
identical in color to the leaves and when ripe falls from the tree. 
Three or four plants, when grown, will furnish a family with ample 
fruit. Gal. 30c; 5-gal. $1.30. 
Brooms 
Genista fragrans (Sweet Broom). This is one of the most brilliantly 
beautiful shrubs that one can possibly plant for bloom in late 
spring or early summer. The shrub grows in a very spreading 
manner, producing long sprays of flowering wood from one to 
three feet in length, which are solidly covered with bright, yellow 
flowers. This shrub will show surprising results from a good heavy 
pruning immediately following the blooming period. Gal. 35c; 
5-gal. $1.50. 
Genista newerensis (Mahogany Broom). This is a variety of 
Broom not very often planted, but one that will be much appre¬ 
ciated because of its hardiness and unusual flowers. The blossoms 
appear in early summer and are of a Sweetpea shape with the 
center portion a deep mahogany red, and the outer, flaring petals 
a bright canary yellow. The flowers are borne in large spikes on 
a shrub of rather open, spreading habit of growth. Gal. 35c. 
heavy mass effect throughout the entire plant. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. 
$1.50. 
Euonymous silver queen. This variety is very well named be¬ 
cause at a slight distance the plant takes on a very silvery appear¬ 
ance due to the combination of light green and white variegations 
in the leaves. The plant is a fast grower and can be used success¬ 
fully for low screen work or as a hedge, or trimmed specimen.
