CEANOTHUS. As all residents know, these are usually called “Wild Lilacs’ here in California 
and rank among our finer native shrubs. Three forms are described below and others are priced 
in Part II. 
C. impressus, SANTA BARBARA WILD LILAC, (9). This fine new species grows 
only about four feet tall and usually wider than high. Leaves small. Flowers deep 
blue in extreme profusion in late winter and spring. Gallon can 3-4 ft. $1.00, 2-3 ft. 
75c; pot grown 8-12 in. 50c. 
*C, papillosus roweanus, (9). A complete account of this beautiful newly discovered 
form is given on page 68 of National Horticultural Magazine for January, 1941. Briefly 
it is a low spreading shrub bearing flowers of the most vivid deep blue found in the en- 
tire genus. Has not been available until this season. Pot grown 1-14 ft. 75c. 
*C. hyb. veitchianus, (7-8). Originated in England as a hybrid between C. thyrsi- 
florus and (probably) C. rigidus. Makes a 10 ft. shrub with good foliage, compact 
habit and deep blue flowers. Pot grown 1-114 ft. 75c, 8- 12 in. 60c. 
*CITRUS meyeri, DWARF LEMON, (8-9). “Useful as well as ornamental.’’ Makes a good 
rounded shrub, not a tree. Flowers and fruits freely even when very young. Lemons are deep 
yellow and of good quality. Gallon can 12-15 in. $1.00; pot grown 6-8 in. 50c 
CORREA, AUSTRALIAN FUCHSIA. Common name refers to the tubular flowers with usu- 
ally protruding stamens. They range from rather small to medium sized shrubs which here flower 
profusely in midwinter even when very small. With one or two exceptions they are as yet little 
known in this country, but where they are sufficiently hardy they should rapidly become most 
popular as the finer kinds are gradually made available to the gardening public. 
*C, magnifica, (9). A vigorous, erect grower making a fine shrub of good size. Flow- 
ers are pendent and probably the largest in the genus. Color is a solid chartreuse green 
(greenish yellow). There are some excellent specimens in the Arboretum of Golden 
Gate Park. Pot grown 1-1!4 ft. $1.25, 4-6 in. 75c. 
C. pulchella, (8-9). This charming shrub has dainty pink, hanging, bell-shaped flowers 
about an inch long. Commences to bloom about mid-October and continues all through 
winter until about mid-April. Neat green foliage and spreading habit, growing wider 
than tall; probably will not exceed two feet in height. Best of all it is entirely hardy 
here. Neither the flowers nor the plants showed any injury in January, 1937, when so 
ha things were killed. Highly recommended. A.M.C.H.S. Pot grown 114-2 ft. 75c, 
1-14 ft. 60c. 
*C, ventricosa, (9). This rare and striking Correa has probably not been offered be- 
fore in this country. Growth is rather vigorous and habit open. The tubular flowers, 
about 114 inches long, are carmine red except for about 14 inch at tip which is green. 
Quite fancy! Stock limited this season. Pot grown 12-15 in. $1.75, 6-8 in. $1.25. 
COTONEASTER henryana, WEEPING COTONEASTER, (6). There are now so many 
Cotoneasters that we tested this several years before distributing. It proved to be so distinct 
from all others that we feel there is room for it. Growth is moderate and the plant does not get 
too large. New shoots are at first erect, then arch until they touch the ground and are loaded 
with long sprays of red berries. Semi-evergreen; just enough leaves fall to let the handsome fruit 
show to best advantage. Balled 214-3 ft. $2.25; pot grown 114-2 ft. 75c. 
CYTISUS, BROOM. It is only a few years since the colored brooms were introduced, but they 
have become very popular. The Mitchell varieties are now pretty well known so we will de- 
scribe briefly a few of the best English varieties. 
C. burkwoodi, BURKWOOD BROOM, (6). The best deep red broom. Color is solid 
garnet with practically no yellow. The flowers are borne in long sprays getting them 
out where they can be seen. Very free blooming and decidedly vigorous. Pot grown 
1-114 ft. 75c. 
C. Lady Moore, (6). The large flowers have a fine bright coloring: wings scarlet, stan- 
dard rosy yellow, keel yellow and pink. A.M.R.H.S. Pot grown 8-12 in. 75c. 
C. Lord Lambourne, (6). The large flowers display a brilliant blend of scarlet, prim- 
rose, and rose-pink; standards are yellow tipped pink, wings deep crimson. Pot grown 
1-114 ft. 75c. 
C. Maria Burkwood, (6). A recent large-flowered variety. Standards are red on back, 
creamy rose on face, yellow at base; wings blush red on outside, red within; keel creamy- 
yellow. Habit spreading. Pot grown 1-1/4 ft. 75c. 
*C, Pink Beauty, (6). While the flowers are not truly pink, they are ruddy rose very 
faintly marked cream without the slightest trace of yellow! Pot grown 6-8 in. 60c.
