Broad Leaved Evergreens 
* ABELIA hyb. Edward Goucher, (6). A beautiful evergreen hybrid (grandiflora x schumanni) 
combining the hardiness of the former with the rich pink flowers of the latter. Fine compact 
habit and very floriferous over a long season. A great boon where A. schumanni is too tender. 
Our guess is that this will soon become more popular than either parent. Balled 114-2 ft. $1.50, 
1-1 ft. $1.25. 
ALYOGYNE hakeaefolia (syn. Cienfuegosia hakeaefolia), (9). A most beautiful newcomer 
from Australia. Flowers are large, funnel shaped, lilac-blue with red throat. It grows rapidly to 
about eight or ten feet and blooms most profusely over a long period during the summer. Should 
be cut back to firm wood every year. All who see it admire it. Gallon can 2-3 ft. 85c; pot grown 
114-2 ft. 75c. 
* ARBUTUS menziesii, MADRONE, (7). One of our most beautiful native trees. The only 
reason it is so rarely seen in cultivation is that it is very difficult for nurserymen to propagate so 
stock is always scarce. Considering its smooth cinnamon-colored bark, large rich green leaves, 
heather-like flowers and showy red berries, it is truly an aristocrat and is exceeded in beauty by 
very few trees indeed. Pot grown 114-2 ft. $1.25, 1-14% ft. $1.00, 8-12 in. 75c. 
ASTER fruticosa, (9). This dainty slender-branched very compact shrub grows only about 3 
feet tall and simply covers itself with daisy-like pinkish-lavender flowers in late spring and early 
summer. This was introduced a few years ago, but most of the plants were seedlings which later 
showed great variation in blooming quality. ‘To remedy this we selected the best plant out of 
several hundred and have since propagated by cuttings from that so all we offer are identical and 
of high quality. Pot grown 1-14 ft. 50c. 
AZARA integrifolia, (9). In G.A. '40 we said: “Large shrub or small tree native of Chile with 
leaves much larger than A. microphylla. The yellow flowers are small but very richly scented. 
New in this country.’ This winter we have enjoyed seeing it bloom and find that it just about 
covers itself with golden yellow, richly fragrant flowers. Will apparently be useful for cutting. 
A.M.R.H.S. Pot grown 114-2 ft. 75c. 
BAROSMA scoparia, (9). Our young plants have been grown from seed imported from south 
Africa where it is said to be a heath-like shrub growing to about four ft. with pale mauve flowers. 
They haven't had time to bloom but we are very favorably impressed with their neat attractive 
deep green foliage. Gallon can 1-114 ft. $1.00; pot grown 8-12 in. 60c. 
*BERBERIS lologensis, (7). This Chilean shrub is a natural hybrid, B. darwini x linearifolia. 
The latter is probably not yet available in this country. We are working up a stock and hope to 
have it ready for introduction in a year or two. The hybrid has elongated dark green, leathery, 
glossy leaves and bears great masses of large golden yellow flowers. Many people rank all 
Barberries as “excess baggage, ’—they should get acquainted with some of those that are really’ 
good! Pot grown 1-1!4 ft. $1.00. 
*BERBERIS Wisley Hybrids, (5). This strain was developed in England at the Wisley trial 
garden of the R.H.S. from whose literature we quote: “ .. . seedlings proved very decorative... 
some were named but names got mixed and I am now thankful to say that many were lost and 
nobody knows which plant had which name. I came to the conclusion that the best thing to do 
was to call them Wisley Hybrids, and if you get some of them you will have something good.” 
we can add nothing at present as our plants are still too young. Pot grown 114-2 ft. 60c, 1-14 
ft. 50c. 
*BORONIA megastigma, SCENTED BORONIA, (914). Small Australian shrub with heather- 
like foliage. The flowers, chocolate-purple outside and greenish yellow within, are unbelievably 
fragrant, probably surpassing those of any other shrub that can be grown in this climate. Prob- 
ably prefers mildly acid soil. Australian authorities recommend cutting back at end of flowering 
season. Pot grown 8-10 in. 85c. 
*CALOTHAMNUS longissimus, (9). This bears the curious flowers that characterize the 
genus. They are like a piece of red ribbon fringed at the end, but are not very showy. How- 
ever, the habit and foliage comprise its chief merit. It is a small rounded shrub with red branch- 
lets carrying long slender leaves shaped like green knitting needles. This combination of char- 
acters is unusual and interesting. Pot grown 1-1) ft. 75c.
