Verbena 
Verbena gooddingii. “Goodding’s Verbena.” Stems spreading from 
the base with pretty cut foliage and quantities of lavender flowers 
about the size of an ordinary verbena. Does well in sandy soil. 
Gallon cans, 35c. 
Redwood Violet 
Viola sempervirens. “Redwood Violet.” A beautiful little plant 
which never gets over 6 inches high, keeps green all summer and 
produces quantities of small, yellow, exquisitely beautiful flowers. 
Requires shade and moisture. Gallon cans, 35c. 
California Fuchsia 
*Zauschneria californica, ‘‘California Fuchsia,’ “Humming Bird 
Trumpet,” “Balsamea.”’ The plants throw up many wiry stems 1 to 
2 feet high with narrow, gray green foliage. The flowers are trum- 
pet-shaped, brilliant scarlet, appearing from late summer to early 
winter, when the plants are often a mass of brilliant color. A won- 
derful plant for covering dry banks, flowering as it does during 
the driest portion of the year, after other flowers are passed. Fine 
for rock gardens. Gallon cans, 35c. 
*Zaushcneria californica alba, ‘‘White California Fuchsia.” A form 
of the preceding with milk white flowers. Gallon cans, 35c. 
Zauschneria septentrionalis. “Silver Leaved California Fuchsia.” 
A rare species for which we are indebted to the Rancho Santa Ana 
30tanie Garden. The plants only grow 8 to 12 inches high and 
spread out, making a good sized mat. The foliage is more or less 
green in winter but becomes silvery in summer and fall. The flow- 
ers are large, brilliant scarlet and appear in great quantities. Found 
in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties blooming in late Summer and 
fall it makes a striking appearance—the scarlet blossoms contrast- 
ing well against the silvery foliage. Should make a good rock 
garden plant. Gallon cans, 50e.
