Silk Tassel Bush 
Garrya elliptica, “Silk Tassel Bush.’ A handsome shrub with 
deep green leathery, opposite leaves. Of special interest on ac- 
count of its flowers in catkins which often measure 12 inches in 
length; hence the name of “Silk Tassel Bush.” Found on dry ridges 
up to 2,500 feet elevation. Gallon cans, 50c. 
Prickly Phlox 
*Gilia californica, “Prickly Phlox.” Erect growing widely branched 
shrub 1% to 8 feet high. A most charming plant, seen growing 
on many of our dry hillsides. Stems covered with short prickly 
needle-like leaves. Flowers fragrant, in clusters resembling the 
phlox in shape, of a delicate shade of rose-pink and of texture like 
the finest silk with an exquisite sheen. Free blooming and one of 
the most beautiful of the native flowering shrubs. Gallon cans, 60c.
