SOUTH AFRICAN TREE DAISY (Euryops) 
Every garden in Southern California should have this unique shrub that gives a brilliant 
display of butter-yellow flowers all winter. See description above. 
Eugenia 
Attractive shrubs, or small trees, having 
creamy white flowers, formed like English 
Myrtle only much larger, followed by pur- 
plish red fruits in great profusion. The fol- 
iage is bronzy red when young, and a deep 
shiny green when developed. They are 
strong growers and lend themselves well to 
formal gardens, as they trim into any de- 
sired shape. They are also good in pots or 
tubs and will grow in the sun or partial 
shade. 
EUGENIA HOOKERI. Foliage and fruit larger 
than E. myrtifolia, and not so dense, unless 
trimmed, but like boxwood, stands trimming and 
is taking the place of Bay trees for specimen 
plants. 
EUGENIA MYRTIFOLIA. Very dense in growth, 
sometimes used for hedges, for which it is a 
beautiful subject. Also makes neat, trimmed 
specimens. 
Price of either variety, 1-gal. containers, 40c; 
S-gal., 4-5 ft., $1.50; 5-6 ft., $1.75. 
Prices of boxed or trimmed specimens upon 
application.

ROSE APPLE 
EUGENIA JAMBOS. A large spreading shrub or 
small tree of great ornamental value for warmer 
locations in southern California. The leaves are 
about six inches long, rich crimson on the new 
growth, becoming glossy green. The flowers are 
in clusters, large fluffy balls of creamy white 
followed by interesting yellow fruits which have 
the perfume and flavor of rose-petals. 1-gallon 
containers, 75c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
LILLI-PILLI TREE 
EUGENIA SMITHII. A beautiful tall shrub or 
small tree, fifteen to twenty feet high, resemb- 
ling in growth and foliage Eugenia Hookeri, with 
its glossy bronzy green foliage. In winter it is a 
lovely sight, covered with large clusters of soft 
lavender colored berries. The cut sprays of ber- 
ries and leaves have great decorative value. 
1-gallon containers, 75¢; 5-gal. $1.75. 
SURINAM CHERRY 
EUGENIA UNIFLORA. A very attractive shrub 
growing about six feet high, with foliage and 
beautiful edible fruit. 1-gallon containers, 75¢; 
5-gal., 2 to 3 feet, $1.75. 
Euryops 
A South African Tree Daisy 
EURYOPS ATHANACIAE. This is entirely dif- 
ferent from any plant we know. The shrub has 
a lacy appearance, although leafless, the finely 
divided stems look like feathery foliage. It bears 
large numbers of beautiful clear butter-yellow, 
slender petalled daisy-like flowers of great size, 
often 414-5 inches across. In form and color _the 
flowers greatly resemble a fine Doronicum. They 
are most useful for cutting as the stems are 
sturdy and strong. The plant may be grown as 
a large branched-bush, or even trained into a 
round-topped standard. Blooms all winter. 1-gal- 
lon container 60c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
Feijoa 
Pineapple Guava 
FEIJOA SELLOWIANA. A large shrub, 10 to 
12 feet, valued for its beauty of form and foli- 
age, as well as for the delicious fruits it bears, 
Glossy deep green leaves, silvery white beneath, 
and attractive showy flowers with bluish white 
petals and conspicuous red stamens. Fruit is 
about the size and shape of an egg, deep green, 
with a spicy aroma and flavor, best described as 
a blending of raspberry, banana and pineapple. 
Makes delicious preserves and jellies, and is ex- 
cellent eaten out of hand. 1-gallon containers, 
50c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Ficus nitida 
SMALL-LEAVED RUBBER 
For the one who plans his landscape set- 
ting for permanency, this shrub or tree is 
one of the most valuable subjects grown. 
It is always beautifully clothed with deep 
green glossy foliage, the leaves a little 
smaller than those of the orange. As a 
trimmed shrub it has no equal; it is of quite 
slow growth and keeps its form as well as 
the Bay Tree. It can be shaped into any 
desired form, globe, pyramid, columnar, or 
a round-topped standard, permanently beau- 
tiful as specimens in pots, tubs, or open 
ground. In pots or tubs they will grow in 
sun or shade, withstanding quite adverse 
conditions; ideal for porch, patio or display 
room. 
For a trimmed hedge of any desired 
height from one foot to eight feet its clas- 
sic beauty blends with most types of archi- 
tecture. Is particularly desirable in formal 
gardens, lending a permanent rich finish 
that leaves nothing to be desired. 
When allowed to grow naturally, Ficus 
nitida forms a beautiful tree of great char- 
acter. 
Trimmed plants 18 to 24-inches, $2.00; 
24 to 28-inches $2.50; 
28 to 30-inches, $3.00; 
30 to 36-inches, $3.50; 3-4 ft., $4.50; 4-5 
ft., $5.50.

pots, 50c, 
Gardenia

handsome glossy leaved shrubs are much 
prized for corsages and to perfume the 
house. They prefer a sunny position in most 
localities, in well drained soil.

improved type with very large, beautifully formed 
double flowers of exquisite fragrance. The bushes,
