FUCHSIA PHENOMENAL (See page 10) 
Grevillea 
Grevillea robusta (Silk Oak). This evergreen shade tree is one 
that has proven very successful with us in Southern California, 
because our local conditions are similar to its native Australia. The 
tree attains a height of about 60 feet and is rather columnar in 
shape. The beautiful, finely cut leaves present a fern-like appear¬ 
ance to the foliage, and during the summer the stiff clusters of 
orange colored flowers present a very showy spectacle. Gal. 35c; 
5-gal. $1.50. 
Grevillea thelemanniana (Humming Bird Bush). This colorful 
little shrub comes very close to ever-blooming, in fact during mild 
winters it will probably be flowering during the winter months. 
The delicate fern-like foliage gives the plant a very airy appear¬ 
ance, and the beautiful little clusters of bright red flowers make 
it a thing of beauty in anyone's garden. If there are humming 
birds in your neighborhood they will be around this plant every 
day. Plant this shrub in full sun for best results. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. 
$1.50. 
Lavender Star Hush 
Grewia caffra. This is a comparatively new shrub to our gar¬ 
dens, but one that will bear encouragement. It is a shrub of very 
spreading nature and attains a maximum height of about 5 feet, 
is well covered with bright green foliage and small, star shaped, 
pale lavender flowers. The flowering period of the Grewia is very 
long, covering practically the entire summer. Gal. 40c. 
Guavas 
Lemon guava. All of the Guava family are excellent dual pur¬ 
pose plants and this particular one is one of the taller growing 
types, and therefore can be used for tall screening effects, as well 
as a plant that furnishes an abundance of fruit. The fruit when 
ripe will be a clear yellow color and will vary in size from 1 
inch up to 2V2 inches in diameter. The fruit may be used to very 
good advantage in the making of jellies. Gal. 35c. 
Red strawberry. This is undoubtedly the most ornamental of all 
the Guava family because of its low, compact growing nabit, 
heavy foliage, and deep red fruit. When ripe the fruit is about 
one inch in diameter, attractive in color and has a delicious, sweet- 
tart taste. It has long been famous for use in the making of jam 
and jellies. This shrub responds well when used as an untrimmed 
hedge. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Yellow strawberry. The foliage of this type of Guava is of a 
rich, glossy green color and the plant itself attains graceful, open 
habit of growth. The fruit is about the same size as the red Guava 
and is very sweet when ripe. This one, like all the others, is a 
very prolific fruit bearer. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50.

llakea 
Hakea laurina (Sea Urchin Hakea). This large growing shrub is 
one of a family that is outstanding in its very hardy characteristics. 
When once established, the Hakeas will thrive on a minimum of 
water. The common name of this shrub comes from the appearance 
of the flower, which is brilliant red in color and resembles the 
marine sea urchin. The plant attains a height of about 15 feet 
and is decidedly a sun lover. Gal. 35c. 
Hakea suaveolens. Another extremely hardy shrub for hot, dry 
sections. This will make an excellent plant to use for sunny hill¬ 
sides that are to be screened with some plant that requires little, 
or no attention. The flowers of this variety are white and very 
inconspicuous. Gal. 35c. 
Portuguese Sun Rose 
Hellianthemum lasianthus. This is an ideal small, spreading 
shrub for a sunny rockery. It is of a very spreading habit of 
growth and seldom attains more than 2 feet in height, but fre¬ 
quently grows to 3 feet across. The flowers resemble miniature 
single roses, and are borne in profusion throughout the summer. 
The colors are in subdued tones and the plant as a whole gives 
out a very cheerful appearance. Gal. 40c. 
I\eic Hibiscus 
Few shrubs are as beautiful as these lovely Hawaiian importa¬ 
tions. Their large single or double flowers are now available in 
many varied and lovely colors. The glossy foliage and free 
blooming habit of the Hibiscus makes them one of our most strik¬ 
ing shrubs. They prefer full sun and should be situated in pro¬ 
tected places, as they are tender. 
Hibiscus Agnus Gault. Enormous single subdued pink blossoms.

Gold Flower 
Hypericum calycinum (Dwarf Gold Flower). This variety has 
about the smallest bloom of all the Gold Flower family, but they 
are borne in such profusion that they more than make up for their 
lack of size. As with all this family, the foliage is good and will 
make a good effect in anyone's garden. Gal. 35c. 
Hypericum moserianum. A sun loving plant whose yellow 
flowers seem to catch and reflect the sun's rays. The shrub itself 
attains a height of about 4 feet and has a spreading, rather open 
type of growth. The waxy, five petalled flowers with delicate 
stamens, all of a pale yellow color, attain the size of about a 
silver dollar and are borne profusely throughout the summer. 
Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Hypericum patulum henryi. We have sold a great many of 
this delightful little shrub and have never found anyone who 
does not go into ecstasies over its delicate beauty. The stems of 
the plant present a rather frail appearance and are well covered 
with very finely veined, elongated leaves. The flowers of a 
beautiful clear yellow are borne profusely throughout the entire 
summer and are about as delicately proportioned as any bloom 
that we know of. The flower petals are about an inch long, 
radiating from the center. The stamens are the same color, but 
longer than the petals, and stand up from the center of the flower 
to present a beautiful, fairy-like effect. This plant attains a height 
of about 2 feet and wants full sun. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.50.
