NATIVE CALIFORNIA SHRUBS 
Many of California's native shrubs are beau¬ 
tiful things, worthy of a place in any garden. 
We give here a selected list, notable for 
foliage or flower or manner of growth. We 
collect a number of other kinds of shrubs 
seed, in addition to those listed here, and 
invite inquiries for unlisted shrubs. The seed 
should be sown in flats and the plants trans¬ 
planted to their permanent locations while 
still small. Native shrub seedlings must be 
watered through their first and second dry 
seasons. After that they can take care of 
themselves.
