BOUVARDIA 
Beloperone 
BELOPERONE TOMENTOSA. One of the most 
useful, yet unusual shrubs in our entire collec- 
tion. It succeeds in the full sun, even in very 
warm summers and will also grow well in almost 
full shade. The showy flower spikes are com- 
posed of copper-bronze bracts enclosing tubular 
cream, spotted purple flowers; the shrub is in 
bloom the year ‘round. The flowers make most 
interesting decorations when cut. Beloperone 
makes a splendid pot plant, outdoors in South- 
ern California, in window boxes or conservatory 
where winters are cold. 4-inch pots, 35c; 1-gal. 
containers, 75¢; 5-gal. $1.75. 
Bouvardia 
Handsome low growing, rather spreading shrubs 
with slender branches and clusters of tubular 
flowers, flaring at the edge. It should be grown 
in our gardens much more than it is for cut- 
flowers, as they are very decorative and lasting. 
Thrives best in a light loamy soil. Colors pink, 
coral, rose and white. Price, all varieties, 1-gal- 
lon containers, 60c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
NEW BOUVARDIA 
BOUVARDIA ALBATROSS. A_ valuable and 
handsome new sort, larger and finer in every re- 
spect than the white Bouvardia Humboldti. Very 
free flowering, the plant being covered with 
masses of very large pure white flowers of waxy 
substance, more than an inch across, the tubes 
at least 3 inches long, and intensely fragrant. 
For cut flowers and corsages, there is nothing 
52 Ot exquisite. 1-gallon container, $1.00; 5-gal. 
2.00. 
Bowkeria 
CALCEOLARIA TREE 
BOWKERIA GERARDIANA. South Africa. A 
very attractive new shrub growing to a height of 
6-10 ft. Its clusters of white flowers, glistening 
like new wax, are shaped like calceolarias and are 
well set off by a background of deep green fol- 
iage. 1-gallon container, 75¢; 5-gal. $1.75. 
Boxwood 
BUXUS 
These very ornamental shrubs are quite neces- 
sary in the formal garden, as well as being at- 
tractive in shrubbery groups. For tub culture as 
specimens they are unequalled, as they stand 
trimming into any desired shape. 
BUXUS JAPONICA. Japanese Boxwood. Makes 
the most attractive bright green low border or 
hedge. Its glossy foliage gives a finished appear- 
ance to the garden. It is also the best species 
for trimmed specimens, either in tubs or in for- 
mal gardens. 1-gallon containers, 40c; 3-inch 
pots, 15c; in plant band pots, 100 for $3.50.

Brunfelsia 
Rare Blue-Flowered Shrub, 
from South America 
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA. A beautiful shrub 
that is coming into wide use in California. 
Flowers, shaped somewhat like Vinca but larger, 
are about 114% inches across, rich violet in color, 
changing with age through lilac to almost pure 
white. It blooms throughout the year, having a 
tremendous crop of flowers in spring, in great 
clusters. These flowers are highly perfumed, and 
cut sprays, which last well in water, remind one 
of giant clusters of lilacs, both in color and fra- 
grance. The Brunfelsia makes a free flowering 
pot plant, and may be grown in sunny window 
boxes and pots, or as a conservatory plant. In 
California it makes a beautiful specimen outdoors, 
and an exceedingly attractive hedge. 1-gallon 
containers, 75c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
BRUNSFELSIA EXIMIA. An even finer shrub 
than the better known variety Brunfelsia flori- 
bunda. The foliage is more luxuriant, soft green, 
and the plant has a more shapely habit of growth, 
with larger flowers of deep blue. 1-gallon con- 
tainers, $1.00; 5-gal. $2.00. 
Buddleia 
Tall, hardy shrubs, bearing long spikes of lilac- 
like blossoms, many of which are fragrant. Bush- 
es are rather straggly in growth, unless kept well 
pruned. Chiefly valuable against walls, fences, 
garages, and for their pretty blossoms, which are 
very desirable for cut-flowers. 
BUDDLEIA ASIATICA. White, fragrant flowers 
ss green. 1-gallon container, 35c¢; 5-gal. 
BUDDLEIA CHARMING. An _ unusual shade in 
Buddleias, the showy spikes, 12 to 18 inches in 
length, of fragrant flowers being a lovely shade 
of lavender pink. Grows very rapidly, to a height 
of 8 feet, is quite hardy, and blooms from late 
summer through autumn, 1-gallon containers, 
each 60c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
BUDDLEIA DUBONNET. Massive round spikes 
of true Dubonnet red flowers, showy and rich, in 
late summer. The plant grows erect, strong 
stemmed, with heavy leathery foliage. A hand- 
some shrub and splendid cutflower. 1-gallon con- 
tainers, each 60c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
BUDDELIA ILE DE FRANCE. For brilliance and 
richness of color, uniform habit of growth, and 
great length of flower spikes which are freely 
produced, this new Buddleia surpasses all of the 
dark purple varieties. The flowers are a very 
deep violet purple, much darker than the com- 
mon Magnifica. 1-gallon containers, 40c; 5-gal. 
$1.25. 
BUDDLEIA MAGNIFICA PRECHTLII. Another 
fine Buddleia, and one of the very best for cut- 
ting. The flowers are brilliant rosy-lavender en- 
livened by a touch of orange at the throat. They 
are produced in very long, beautiful spikes, prob- 
ably the largest of any Buddleia. A fine com- 
panion to Ile de France. 1-gallon containers, 35c; 
5-gal., $1.25. 
Callistemon 
BOTTLE BRUSH 
CALLISTEMON SPECIOSA. Large shrubs with 
willowy branches and leaves, and deep red 
“Brushes”, Native to Australia, thriving exceed- 
ingly well in our climate. Single specimens often 
form small trees; when trimmed they make very 
desirable shrubs for mass planting. They succeed 
admirably in dry locations; requiring well drained 
soil. 5-gal. containers, $1.50. 
CALLISTEMON VIMINALIS. This makes a 
beautiful weeping small tree, upon the drooping 
branches of which are produced the brilliant red, 
showy flowers. It blooms four times a year, cov- 
ering an unusually long period. Unlike most 
Bottle Brushes it likes plenty of water, and con- 
sequently makes an ideal lawn specimen. 1-gallon 
containers, 50¢; 5-gal. $1.75.

tainers, 50c; 5-gal. $1.75.

CARISSA GRANDIFLORA. Natal Plum. One of 
the most beautiful of our evergreen shrubs. The 
foliage is dark glossy green, and very dense. 
Flowers are waxy, pure white, with a jasmine-like 
fragrance and when in bloom, the bush has the 
appearance of being covered with stars. The fruit 
is an additional attraction — bright red, like a 
very large cranberry, and is edible. The shrub 
stands shearing well, and is admirably adapted to 
seacoast planting, even standing salt-spray. Also 
succeeds in the interior if given frost protection.

Shrub well adapted to dry locations. 1-gallon 
containers, 60c; 5-gal., $1.75. 
CASSIA SPLENDIDA. South America. One of 
the most showy of this genus. The shapely bush 
makes a fine lawn specimen, with clear brilliant 
golden yellow flowers like the Golden Shower of 
Hawaii, produced in such great profusion that the 
bush is a mass of gold from summer until the 
beginning of winter. These flowers make exquis- 
ite cut-flower decorations. Well adapted to 
Southern California coastal belt from Santa Bar- 
bara to San Diego. $1.00; Large flowering speci- 
mens $2.50.

mass of brilliant blue flowers, sweetly fragrant.

or hillside. Should have at least partial shade, 
and some watering. Plant with taller growing 
Ceanothus or with Fremontia, for spectacular 
color effects. 1-gallon containers, each $1.00.
