BERBERIS gracilis, (6). Originated in Ireland and is doubtless a variety of hybrid B. steno- 
phylla. We have now had about five years to observe it and think more of it all the time. The 
plant is small but not really dwarf, with numerous slender branches which carry very small leaves 
and arch downward in a way that is truly graceful. It just covers itself with deep yellow flowers 
in spring and has a fairly good crop in fall but is always handsome either with or without flowers. 
Graded by width: balled 114-2 ft. $2.00, 1-114 ft. $1.50, 8-12 in. $1.00; pot grown 6-8 in. 65c. 
*BERBERIS stenophylla diversifolia, (6). Much like preceding. Chief difference is that it is more 
compact and probably remains a dwarf. Pot grown 8-12 in. 75c. 
BRUNFELSIA calycina (B. floribunda), (9). As we have not described this fine item recently 
we will repeat what we said in “Garden Aristocrats 1937": “This shrub is really a wonder. 
Foliage is about the size and shape of California Privet. Growth slow and generally upright. The 
flowers are about the size and shape of Vinca and are borne in the greatest profusion through 
spring and early summer with a scattering crop the rest of the year except during the cold 
months. When the buds are fully opened the flowers are deep violet. Each flower lasts about a 
week and in this period slowly changes to pure white with the result that when in bloom the 
shrub always shows violet, lavender and white flowers at the same time. This would be plenty, 
but ‘for good measure’, it also has a delightfully rich and powerful fragrance which will perfume 
an entire garden. Curiously the fragrance intensifies as the color lightens. It is of slow growth 
and will probably remain scarce for a good many years.’ Gallon cans and pot grown 114-2 ft. 
$1.25; gallon cans 1-114 ft. $1.00; pot grown 1-14 ft. 75c. 
BRUNFELSIA calycina grandiflora, (9). Differs from type in faster, more open growth and 
larger flowers up to 214 inches across. Gallon can 1-114 ft. $1.25; pot grown 10-15 in. 75c. 
*CALLISTEMON brachyandrus, (9). A pretty shrub with handsome flowers. The slender 
branches carry silvery gray foliage Inflorescence is not of the usual “‘bottle-brush” type; the very 
short deep red stamens are tipped with showy large golden anthers,—a most pleasing combination. 
Pot grown 1-14 ft. 60c. 
CEANOTHUS gloriosus, (814). A splendid newer prostrate form much superior to C. prostratus. 
The rich green leaves are much larger; flowers large, profuse and deep blue. Grows well and 
covers the ground like a mat. Probably prefers shade. Pot grown 8-12 in. wide 60c. 
CEANOTHUS impressus, SANTA BARBARA WILD LILAC, (9). This fine new species 
grows only about four feet tall and usually wider than high. Leaves small. Flowers deep blue in 
extreme profusion in late winter and spring. Gallon cans 4-5 ft. $1.25, 3-4 ft. $1.00; pot grown 
1-114 ft. 60c. 
Ceanothus Hybrids 
C. burkwoodi, (8!4). Imported from England five years ago and thoroughly tested here. 
It is fully evergreen, makes a compact rounded shrub with handsome foliage and bears 
a heavy crop of deep blue flowers through summer and fall. Received not only A. M. 
R. H.S. but also the Cory Cup for the best new shrub the year it was introduced. Gallon 
cans 2-3 ft. $1.25; pot grown 1-114 ft. 60c. 
C. Marie Simon, (6). Not by any means new but seems little known, at least in Cali- 
fornia, as so many wonder at seeing a “Wild Lilac” with pink flowers which this variety 
has. Also in fall the seed capsules become quite ruddy. Pot grown 1-114 ft. 60c. 
CORREA pulchella, (814). This charming shrub has dainty pink, hanging, bell-shaped flowers 
about an inch long. Commences to bloom about mid-October and continues all through winter 
until about mid-April. Neat green foliage and spreading habit, growing wider than tall; probably 
will not exceed three feet in height. Best of all it is entirely hardy here. Neither the flowers nor 
the plants showed any injury in January 1937, when so many things were killed. Highly recom- 
mended. Pot grown 1114 ft. 85c, 8-12 in. 75c, 6-8 in. 60c. 
*COTONEASTER cornubia, (7). We quote an English authority: “A very handsome shrub 
or small tree of C. frigida type, but with larger and more richly-colored fruits.” As this came 
from England only two years ago we have not had time to fruit it as yet but judge it must be 
pretty good as it received the rare F. C. C. R. H. S. Pot grown 114-2 ft. 75c. 
COTONEASTER henryana, WEEPING COTONEASTER, (6). There are now so many 
Cotoneasters that we tested this several years before distributing. It is so unlike all others that 
we feel there is room for it. Growth is moderate and the plant does not get too large. New shoots 
at first erect, then arch until they touch the ground and are loaded with long sprays of red ber- 
ries. Semi-evergreen; just enough leaves fall to let the handsome fruit show to best advantage. 
Balled 2-3 ft. $2.50; pot grown 114-2 ft. 75c. 
CRINODENDRON dependens (syn. Tricuspidaria dependens), (9). An excellent small tree of 
quick growth with good habit and foliage bearing hanging white bell shaped flowers. Does not 
require acid soil.and is not “cranky” like C. patagua (T. lanceolata). We find that it is in flower 
for several months during summer and regard it as among the best of the newer evergreen trees. 
Pot grown 3-4 ft. $1.00, 114-2 ft. 75c.
