Saltbush 
*Atriplex breweri, “Coast Saltbush.” Spreading shrub 4 to 8 feet 
high with somewhat arching branches and silvery gray green foli- 
age. Desirable for planting in groups or for a hedge. Gallon cans, 
40c. 
*Atriplex canescens, “Desert Saltbush.” A thick growing roundish 
shrub 3 to 5 feet high with slender stems and narrow gray green 
foliage. The plant is dioecious, the seed bearing plants being covered 
with odd spike-like panicles of large and attractive fruiting bracts 
in the fall. Found on the Colorado and Mohave Deserts. Gallon 
cans, 40c. 
*Atriplex lentiformis, “Quail Brush.” A silvery leaved spreading 
shrub reaching a height of 6 to 10 feet. Fruiting bracts generally 
rose-colored and most attractive. Very pretty when used as Single 
specimens, in groups, or as a hedge. Gallon cans, 40c. 
*Atriplex polycarpa, “‘Cattle Spinach.” Dense growing shrub, 2 to 
34% feet high, with rather slender, rigid branches, and many some- 
what spiny branchlets. Leaves small, silvery gray. Desirable where 
a gray note is wanted. Gallon cans, 40c. 
Note: The saltbushes will grow with very little water, at the 
same time they will stand ordinary garden treatment. They grow 
rapidly, will stand trimming and are very useful in places where 
gray leaved shrubs are wanted.
