SOME UNUSUAL SHRUBS AND VINES 
I do not as a rule handle trees or shrubs but I have growing here several lovely things that 
have greatly attracted visitors and are not found elsewhere and several native shrubs not easily 
found for which I have constant inquiry so I feel I should offer some of them. 
THIBETAN TREE HONEYSUCKLE 
This lovely Honeysuckle from Tibet came to me 
years ago along with several others and I have lost 
its name. I have greatly enjoyed it here as have all 
visitors and I am sure you will like it fully as well as 
we do. It makes a round headed tree 8 to 15 feet high. 
The leaves are a lovely soft green and the flowers are 
white but its glory is in the brilliant coral red berries 
that literally smother the branches, coloring as the 
leaves drop in autumn and persisting until late win- 
ter. Hardy and grows in any soil, sun or shade. 
Shipped bare root Nov. 15 to Feb. 15. Fine plants, 
$1.00 each, postpaid in West; east of Rockies, postage 
extra 48 cts. After Feb. 15, or at any time of year, if 
preferred, in gallon cans, $1.00 each by express 
collect. 
CALIFORNIA REDBUD . Cercis Occidentalis 
Tourists come for hundreds of miles to see the 
spring bloom of its native stands in this region. A 
truly beautiful shrub 4 to 10 ft. high and broadly 
spreading; in May it is literally smothered with pea 
blossoms of purplish rose before the leaves appear. 
Hardy, drouth resistant and thrives in a sunny situa- 
tion in any well drained soil. Fine plants, 12-15 in. 
tall, bare root, 85 cts. each postpaid. After March 1, 
shipped in gallon cans at same price but by express 
collect. 
MATILIJA POPPY . Romneya Coulterii 
A noble deciduous perennial from southern Cali- 
fornia with very large pure white poppy blooms filled 
with golden stamens, throughout summer. Requires 
full sun and deep, well drained soil. Eastern writers 
state it is hardy if cut back after first fall frost, 
padded with straw and an upturned box of ashes. 
Hardy in West. My plants are growing in gallon cans 
too heavy to ship far. For the East, balled from gal- 
lon cans, $1.50 postpaid. For Pacific states, in gallon 
cans only, 90 cts. each, by express collect. (Express 
charge about 25 ects. to near and 55 ets. to 4th zone 
points. ) 
CALYCANTHUS OCCIDENTALIS . Spice Bush 
A deciduous bush 5 to 8 feet tall with luxuriant 
bright green foliage and through summer it has odd 
and attractive rich crimson blossoms. All parts have 
a lovely spicy fragrance. Luxuriates in a moist soil, 
either sun or shade. Bare root, 18-24 in. tall, each 
$1.00, postpaid in West. (To East postage extra 48 
cts.) After Mar. 1, gallon cans $1.00 each, by express 
collect. 
ROSA SPITHAMEA 
Searse 2 inches high, this native species spreads by 
underground runners to make little colonies. The 
entrancing blooms are 11% in. cups of brightest rose. 
Its character makes well rooted plants impossible but 
the runners grow readily. Postpaid, each 50 cts. 
CARPENTARIA CALIFORNICA 
Without doubt one of the very finest of our ever- 
green shrubs, it grows to 8 ft. Exceptionally attrac- 
tive at all times is its foliage of rather large glossy 
deep green leaves but in June when studded with the 
large anemone-like blooms of purest white and fra- 
erant, itis a glory indeed. It does best in an open but 
shaded situation and must have deep well drained 
soil. 18 to 24 in. plants in gallon cans, each $1.25, by 
express collect. (Hardy in Pacific states and South 
only.) 
ARCTOSTAPHYLOS STANFORDIANA 
This mountain species is one of the very loveliest of 
our Manzanitas. Rounded bushes 3 to 6 ft. high. 
Leaves are slender and pointed and bright green and 
flowers are pink. Full sun and any well drained soil. 
Shipped in Calif. only. Balled plants, 6-8 in., 75 cts. 
each, postpaid. 
ARCTOSTAPHYLOS NUMMULARIA 
This little coastal Manzanita is a gem indeed. It 
forms a perfect mound to 3 feet high and 4 across. 
Dense foliage of very small glossy deep green leaves, 
tinted red. Flowers are soft pink. Suited to cool 
regions only and must have acid soil. 6-in. balled 
plants, 75c each, postpaid. A few in gallon cans; 
priced on application. (Shipped to Pacifie states 
only.) 
CELASTRUS SCANDENS . Bittersweet 
A splendid deciduous climber. Luxuriant foliage 
of large emerald green leaves and brilliant red berries 
in autumn. Likes a cool situation, liberal moisture 
and a heavy mulch. My plants are propagated by 
cuttings from berried plants. Small, 1 year, 60 cts. 
each. Strong 2 yr. $1.00 each, postpaid in West. East 
of Rockies postage 37 cts. extra. 
AKEBIA QUINATA—A VINE SUPREME 
An evergreen with slender twining stems and a 
luxuriant growth of small. five-parted, rounded 
leaves of a most pleasing soft green. Its odd pastel 
blooms in spring are a pastel rose, lovely close up, 
but most entrancing is their delightful fragrance. 
Grows rapidly to maturitv and then remains neat and 
controllable for all time. We have it on a chimney on 
hot south wall in poorest soil: on a fully shaded cold 
north wall and again on a 12-foot post near a spring; 
all old plants and equally fine. Nov. to Mar. 1, bare 
root vlants, $1.00 each, postpaid. At any other time 
in gallon cans, $1.00 each, by express collect.
