CHOICE FLOWERING 
SHRUBS 
Bouvardias 
2 to 3 feet tall. Stands temperatures as low as 25°. An excel¬ 
lent showy shrub. Near the coast it will grow in sun or partial 
shade; in the warmer valleys give it more shade. 
B. CORAL GEM: Rich coral-pink, year round bloomer. 
B. ROSE PINK: Deep pink, the darkest of all. 
B. HUMBOLDTII: This white flowered one is by far the most 
popular because of the wonderful jasmine-like fragrance of its 
bloom. Popular for corsage work. Be sure to cut it back after each 
crop of flowers. This is necessary to keep it from getting straggly. 
Plants in 1-gallon containers, 40c each. 
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA: A wonderful medium-sized shrub 
that will stand temperatures as low as 20°. Throughout most of 
the year it produces quantities of fragrant deep purple flowers 
which gradually change to lavender and then to white. Likes good 
drainage and plenty of water. It will grow in sun or partial 
shade. 1-gallon cans, 60c to $1.00 each, according to size; 
9-gallon cans, $2.00 to $3.00 each. 
DAPHNE ODORA: 4 feet tall. Stands temperatures as low as 
10°. A very handsome plant covered in late winter and early 
spring with delicate creamy white flowers that are delightfully 
and intensely fragrant. 
DAPHNE ODORA VARIEGATA: Counterpart of the preceding, 
with golden margin on leaves and pink flowers. Plant in partial 
shade. Give good drainage but water frequently. Potted plants, 
75c each; larger balled and burlapped specimens, $1.50 to $2.50 
each. 
Gardenias 
For years these sweet scented beauties have been the pride 
and joy of every southern garden and the envy of every Yankee. 
Only recently have we of the southwest learned how to handle 
them successfully. For best results along the coast give them a 
well drained sunny location protected from cool winds. They like 
a slightly acid soil and 1 part leafmold, 1 part peat and 1 part 
sandy loam. Apply aluminum sulphate occasionally to keep the 
soil acid. Give more shade if planting in the warmer valleys. 
GARDENIA GRANDIFLORA: A popular large flowered variety 
that does not drop its flower buds. A good bloomer, though not 
as prolific as Veitchi. Fine foliage and liked by many. 4-inch 
pots, 30c each; 1-gallon cans, 60c each; 5-gallon cans, $1.75 
each. 
GARDENIA MYSTERY 
GARDENIA MYSTERY: This one has the largest flowers and 
biggest, glossiest and most luxuriant foliage of all. A very popu¬ 
lar variety that can be highly recommended. Plants in 4-inch pots, 
35c each; 1-gal. containers, 60c each; 5-gal. containers, $2 each. 
GARDENIA RADICANS: A dwarf, rather prostrate, form, with 
pretty myrtle-like foliage. Very double, small, but intensely frag¬ 
rant flowers. Plants in 4-inch pots, 35c each; 1-gallon contain¬ 
ers, 75c each. 
GARDENIA VEITCHI: Liked by many because of the great 
abundance of flowers it produces. Blossoms and foliage medium 
size. 4-inch pots, 30c each; 1-gallon containers, 50c each. 
HIBISCUS: The very mention of the name brings thoughts of 
bright summer skies and vivid exotic flowers. We can think of 
nothing more showy than a well grown hibiscus with its gorge¬ 
ous display of color. The color range is tremendous; all the 
ramifications of pink, salmon, orange, yellow and red, including 
over 50 varieties. 35c to $3.50 each.
