SHRUBS 
Advanced ideas in home building tie 
the garden to the architecture to form 
an integral part of the home. The infinite 
variety of shrubs which can be grown in 
California, not only ones of handsome form 
and foliage, but gorgeous flowering shrubs 
of all kinds, flowers which not only enliven 
the landscape picture, but which may be 
used in the home in attractive decorations; 
and the increasing numbers of rare and 
lovely new varieties which we are introduc- 
ing, greatly stimulate the interest in these 
important features of the garden. 
In this catalog we have endeavored to de- 
scribe briefly some outstanding novelties, 
and have listed some of the most important 
standard varieties. The latter are generally 
well known so we have omitted lengthy de- 
scriptions. It is impossible for us to list all 
of the varieties we grow, and we have many 
fine shrubs not listed. 
SIZES OF SHRUBS 
We have listed medium sized shrubs grown in 
special containers. The 1 and 5 gallon containers 
are tin, weight about 8 Ibs. and 50 Ibs. respec- 
tively. 
We have also specimen sizes in many varieties. 
Ask for price quotations on varieties in which 
you may be interested. 
Our plants are sturdy, well grown, well shaped, 
not to be compared with ordinary stock usually 
sold in 1-gal. and 5-gal. containers.
