(Bush Sage continued) 
*Salvia apiana, ‘““‘White Sage.” Distinctive by its tall spikes of 
white flowers on erect stems. Large handsome silvery leaves. 
Makes a very pleasing color contrast when used with other shrub- 
bery. Stands heat and drought, but will also thrive under ordinary 
garden culture. It makes a very attractive subject in a garden 
where a note of gray foliage is desired. Gallon cans, 50c. 
*Salvia clevelandii, ‘‘Cleveland’s Blue Sage.” A charming little 
shrub from San Diego County. The plants are of compact, rounded 
form 2 to 8 feet high with gray green foliage. The flowers are 
produced in whorls, large, clear rich blue. Very showy, blooming 
profusely in early summer. Both flowers and foliage delightfully 
fragrant even after drying. Gallon cans, 50c. 
*Salvia leucophylla, ‘“Furple Sage,’ “Button Sage.” A small shrub 
with pretty silvery gray, crinkly foliage and large whorls of lilac 
purple flowers. A profuse bloomer making a glorious effect when 
in flower on the open hillsides. Gallon cans, 40c. 
*Salvia mellifera, “Black Sage.” leaves rather narrow, deep 
green, slightly crinkled. Flowers borne in whorls on erect stems, 
generally bluish lavender or white. In some localities a blue 
flowered form is found which is very superior. The plants offered 
here are raised from seed gathered from shrubs of this type in the 
Ojai Valley. Gallon cans, 40c. 

Woolly Blue Curls or Romero. (Trichostema lanatum.) Desir- 
able for its long spikes of attractive flowers. A good subject 
for dry hot slopes. 
California Elderberry 
*Sambucus glauca, ‘“‘California Elderberry.” A deciduous tree 
with attractive light green foliage and large clusters of creamy 
white flowers appearing abundantly in spring and early summer. 
The flowers are followed by clusters of blue berries which are ex- 
cellent for pies, and for making wine. Of very rapid growth and 
especially valuable where a quick effect is desired. While this tree 
is deciduous it comes out into leaf very early in the spring and 
drops its leaves late in the fall, so that it is only bare for a short 
time. Gallon cans, 59c.
