Lantana. dwarf pink. An excellent variety to use for a low 
hedge or specimen plant where a maximum growth of two to 
three feet is desired. The dcinty flower clusters are a combination 
of yellow, lavender, and pink, pink predominating. Like all the 
Lantana, they do best in full sun. Gal. 35c. 
Lantana. dwarf yellow (Dwarf Yellow Lantana). This is the 
most compact growing of all the Lantana and attains a height of 
about two feet. When used as an untrimmed hedge in a sunny 
location it is at its best and is studded with small, clear yellow 
clusters of flowers, practically the year around. Gal. 35c; 5 gal. 
$1.35. 
Lantana. orange. This is one of the larger growing varieties of 
Lantana and a plant that is very good to use for mass planting 
effects, where there is plenty of sun. This variety will do better 
if it is cut back occasionally to promote a thicker growth. Gal. 35c. 
Lantana radiation. One of the best of the Lantanas because of 
its coloring and habit of growth. The tiny flower clusters are a 
combination of brilliant orange and scarlet, and are borne in great 
profusion over the plant's entire exterior. The nature of this 
variety is to be very spreading and frequently a plant will attain 
a spread of six feet without more than 2 feet of height. Gal. 35c. 
Lantana sellowiana (Trailing Lantana). This has long been a 
popular plant because of the many uses to which it may be put. 
As a ground cover for sunny beds it is unsurpassed. When used 
as a trailing plant to hang down over the face of a wall, etc., it 
is pretty hard to beat. The brilliant pinkish lavender of the small 
flower clusters will give a spot of color to ones garden at prac¬ 
tically any time of the year wherever it is used. The stems of 
the plant are very fine and well covered with foliage. Gal. 35c. 
Lantana. silver pink. Another large growing variety that is 
excellent when used in large mass plantings in sunny locations. 
The color combination found in the flower cluster is rather odd, 
it being a pink and lavender so arranged as to give the flowers 
a silvery cast when seen from a slight distance. Gal. 35c.

Ligustrum ciliatum. One of the most ornamental of all the Privet 
family because of very glossy, light green foliage and beautiful 
arching stems. Rich creamy white clusters of fragrant flowers borne 
on twig terminals in late spring. For specimen plants or in large 
shrub groups this is a hard plant to beat. Gal. 40c; flat, $5.00. 
Ligustrum japonica (Japanese Privet). This is the largest growing 
of all of the Privets and will attain tree proportions when allowed 
to grow naturally. This should not be used in a hedge of less than 
6 feet in height, but is very satisfactory for this use, or high 
screen-planting. Gal. 35c; flat $1.70. 
Ligustrum nepalense (Nepal Privet). The most common variety of 
Privet for hedge use because of its rapid growth and the ease 
with which it may be kept in trimmed form, bearing a heavy ex¬ 
terior growth of bright green leaves. Will do best when used in 
hedges from 3 to 5 feet high. Gal. 35c; flat $1.50. 
Ligustrum ovalifolium variegatum (Variegated Privet). Much the 
same as Nepalense, except for golden variations in leaves. From a 
short distance a hedge of this shrub appears almost solid yellow. 
The variations will be less brilliant if the plant is used in a shady 
location. Gal. 35c. 
Ligustrum taxanum. This makes a splendid foliage plant where 
one wishes a good, dark green foliage borne in a heavy mass. 
The shrub grows into graceful proportions with arching stems and 
maintains a good compact head and is hardy in all respects. 
Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Shrub Honeysuckle 
Lonicera heckrotii. This variety is rather a spreading, rambling 
type which will produce an abundance of flowers thrcughour the 
entire summer, ranging from May to September. The large flowers 
ore of an orange-yellow color with a crimson tint on the outside. 
Makes an excellent shrub where a loose, open growth is wanted. 
5-gal. $1.70. 
Oregon l r rape 
Mahonia aquifolia. This has long been a popular plant in 
landscape use and one which thrives in our local climate. The 
shrub maintains a compact form with its erect, stiff branches well 
covered with dark green, holly-like foliage. Brilliant, dark yellow 
flowers appear in the spring, which are followed by small clusters 
of blue-black berries resembling small grapes. Frequently the 
cold weather will give the foliage colorful autumn tints. Will stand 
full sun or shade, and likes moisture. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Mahonia illicifolia compacta (Compact Oregon Grape'. This is a 
variety of Oregon grape comparatively new to California, and 
one which is the result of very careful selection. It has all of the 
toughness and beauty of the preceding variety, plus several fea¬ 
tures which make it quite an outstanding ornamental shrub. The 
LANTANA 
plant as a whole retains a very compact form with the compound 
leaves set very closely together on the stems, with a very glossy 
texture, causing the plant to fairly glisten in the sun. The individ¬ 
ual leaves are beautifully arched and resemble very closely, the 
English Holly leaf with its spiney edges. For foundation or group 
planting you will find this beautiful shrub a wonderful addition 
to your landscape. Gal. 50c; 12-15" $1.50. 
Golden Medico 
Medicago aurea. An ornamental variety of Alfalfa which makes 
a very showy shrub when used in the garden. Presents a mass 
of small yellow, sweetpea-like flowers during the summer and 
grows into a generally spreading, globe-shaped bush. Gal. 40c. 
Red Iron Hush 
Metrosiderous tomentosa. You will find this a beautiful foliage 
plant of small proportions which retains its good looks for many 
years. It is by nature a very shrubby, bushy plant sending up a 
mass of erect, fine branches well covered with medium sized, 
brilliant green leaves. It has not proven to be much of a flowering 
plant in this locality but when blooms do appear they will be of 
a crimson color. This shrub will grow about 3 feet high and will 
attain about the same amount of spread. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Myoporiu rn 
Myoporium laetum. A fast growing, large shrub to about 12 
feet, which furnishes a heavy mass of luxuriant, fleshy green 
leaves. Where one wishes a thick, tall screen effect, we recom 
mend the use of this Myoporium because of its good heavy foliage 
from the ground up. Will thrive in full sun or partial snjde. 
Gal. 35c. 
Holtle Hrusli 
Melaleuca armillaris (Australian Melalucas). This is one of the 
lesser known varieties of the Bottle Brush and is a particularly 
good shrub to use where one wishes a growth to a height of 10 
feet. The shrub will do better in full sun and stands severe dry 
ness during the summer months. The flowers of this variety, white 
in color, are not overly conspicuous, but the bright green, needle¬ 
like foliage which is borne on drooping stems give the plant a 
very soft, pleasing appearance. Gal. 35c. 
Melaleuca decu3sata (Liliac Bottle Brush). Although the foliage 
of this plant is very tiny, the leaves are so thickly placed on the 
twigs that it gives the plant a very substantial appearance. The 
flowers which appear during the summer radiate all around the 
twig for about an inch of its length and are of a beautiful lilac 
coloring. The total diameter of these flowers is about the size 
of one's little finger. The shrub will attain a height of about 12 
feet. Gal. 35c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Melaleuca Hypericifolia (Scarlet Melaleuca). This is one of the 
most showy of all of this family, which have been imported from 
Australia, because of the very brilliant scarlet flowers which are 
larger in size than any of the other varieties, and bright green 
foliage. The shrub attains a height of about 10 feet and is of a
