GERALDTON WAX FLOWER 
(See illustration above.) 
Chamaelaucium ciliatum. Probably no shrub of recent in- 
troduction has caused more comment. Along in October 
when the nights are becoming chilly, the round light pink 
buds covering each airy needle-leaved branchlet open into 
half-inch cup-shaped bloom that intrigue you with their 
waxy pink loveliness. And you may enjoy their soothing 
beauty all through winter and spring. Prune lightly after 
blooming. Thrive in any well drained soil. Hardy. Sun. 5-6 
ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.25; gal. containers, 85c. 
FRAGRANT MEXICAN ORANGE 
Choisya ternata. You probably have the shrub in your 
garden now, as it has been a favorite for years. If you 
haven’t made its acquaintance, put it on your “must” list. A 
glossy foliaged shrub of symmetrical outline, clothed in 
spring with many flowered panicles of pearly white blooms 
that resemble orange blossoms in delicious fragrance and ap- 
pearance. Keep its feet dry. Sun or shade. 4-6 ft. Balled, 
bushy 2-2% ft., $2.00; 1%4-2 ft., $1.80; 5-gal. containers, $1.50; 
gal. containers, 50c. 
PANSY FACES 
Chorizema varium. Hails from Australia. It has a cousin 
or two but varium tops them all. A neat semi-reclining shrub, 
well furnished with polished deep green leaves, that carries 
its comfortable appearance through all seasons. But about 
the time your spring bulbs are pushing up this little fellow 
bursts forth with spectacular quantities of tiny pansy faces 
that are the deepest, richest most brilliant shades of orange, 
scarlet and purple imaginable. Feels at home in sun or part 
shade. Semi-hardy. 2 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. con- 
tainers, 40c. 
ROCK ROSES 
Cistus ladaniferus maculatus. If you can visualize a low 
mound of thick-covering, deep green foliage, generously 
sprinkled with large white cherokee roses you will have a 
fair mental picture of this foreground shrub. Add a deep 
maroon blotch to each snowy petal and the picture will be 
complete. Each flower lasts but a day. However, a con- 
stant succession of bloom continues for weeks in late spring 
and early summer. Hardy. Sun and good drainage. 3 ft. 5- 
gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 40c. 
Cistus purpureus. Will grow and thrive on rather steep, 
hot slopes where water is not too easily available. Give the 
plants good drainage and in early summer your garden will 
never know a dull moment. This low spreading plant with 
the rosy-pink, purple tinged, crepe paper flowers will furnish 
continuous splashes of brilliant color. Hardy. 3 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 40c. 
Cistus Silver Pink. Gray-green loosely round shrub, just 
the right size to fit a small space in front of larger shrubs or 
under low windows in a sunny location. Bright pink flowers 
about the size and color of our native roses. Give it a fair 
amount of water. Hardy. 3 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. 
containers, 60c. 
DWARF CITRUS 
Though you have no room for large citrus trees, there is 
still no reason why you can’t get your usual Vitamin A-B- 
C-D appetizer before breakfast every morning—not at the 
drug store either, Find a place in the garden with plenty of 
sun and plant a dwarf citrus. Scatter a few in pots about 
the warm parts of the patio. You'll be more than surprised 
at the ornamental value of the bright fruits, sweetly scented 
flowers and remarkable foliage. The following varieties are 
extremely hardy to frost and bear heavy crops of excellent, 
usable fruit. 
Meyer Dwarf Lemon. Most popular of the dwarf citrus 
trees. Withstands heaviest frosts. The orange colored fruits 
are larger than most lemon varieties grown here, juicier and 
of excellent flavor, Quite compact with a little pruning. 
Balled, bushy 2-21 ft., $2.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 75c. See color illustration on back cover. 
Rangpur Lime. Combines the brilliant golden orange of 
tangerines with highly acid flavor and lush, light green 
foliage to form a most desirable garden shrub or pot speci- 
men. Balled, bushy 1%-2 ft., $2.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; 
gal. containers, $1.00. 
LILIES ON TREES 
Clethra arborea. Lily of the Valley Tree. A new friend 
from Madeira with glossy 3 to 4 inch leaves. Showy panicles 
of white cup-shaped flowers that possess a perfume peculiarly 
their own. Plant in a lawn or other moist location. Hardy. 
Sun. 20 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.75. 
GRACEFUL COCCULUS 
Cocculus laurifolius. We would not find it at all difficult 
to wax eloquent over a shrub like Cocculus that has prac- 
tically all of the qualities necessary to a truly good shrub. 
Six-inch leathery leaves, heavily veined, are thickly set on 
bright green arching branches. Above and beyond the thicket 
of gleaming foliage the graceful branches nod and sway 
with the slightest breeze. It is hard to believe such charming 
symmetry of outline and substance could be found in one 
plant. Equally suitable for massed planting or for use as a 
specimen. Hardy in all but the coldest sections. Sun or 
shade. Not fussy as to soils. 8 ft. Balled, bushy 3-4 ft., 
$2.50; 214-3 ft., $2.00; 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 
50c. See illustration, page 19. 
AUSTRALIAN FUCHSIA 
Correa pulchella. Varieties of low spreading shrubs are 
not too plentiful. Many a nurseryman’s hair has grown gray 
trying to think of good plants that would fit under low 
windows, on terraces at the ends of steps and in angles of 
walks or drives where smart looking dwarf shrubs are 
needed. Correa has helped to solve many of these problems. 
Foliage slightly gray green with the barest suggestion of 
brown. Spreading habit to 3 or 4 feet, about 11% to 2% feet 
tall. Small, light pink, broadly bell-shaped flowers Novem- 
ber through March. Immune to frost. Appreciates good 
drainage and a hot location. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. 
containers, 60c. 
FLOWERING WILLOW 
Chilopsis linearis. A native of our California deserts. Nar- 
row leaved shrub to 12 ft. that bears in spring a great show 
of lilac trumpet-shaped bloom. An excellent shrub for the 
native planting. Hardy. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. 
containers, 50c. 
BRILLIANT COTONEASTERS 
Probably no other family of shrubs has been used as ex- 
tensively here as the cotoneaster. They feel entirely com- 
fortable at all seasons of the year, not being affected by
