* SARCOCOCCA hookeriana humilis, (7). The erect growing S. ruscifolia is now getting fairly 
well known as one of the very handsomest shrubs for deep shade. We imported this newer form 
from Europe 3 or 4 years ago, so can now introduce it. Its growth is very low and spreading, 
almost prostrate. The white flowers are small but profusely borne and quite fragrant. Should 
solve many a problem of very shady places particularly if soil has become a little acid which it 
likes. Balled 1-114 ft. wide $1.50; pot grown 4-6 in. wide 50c. 
SOPHORA. The New Zealand Sophoras, also called Edwardsias, seem to be almost unknown, 
but anyone who sees their large showy yellow flowers is always greatly interested. They belong 
to the Pea Family and make large shrubs or small trees. The three offered below are all forms of 
one species differing mainly in habit and foliage. In colder sections they are apparently décidu- 
ous but here are evergreen. 
S. tetraptera, (9). Leaves of medium size, branches more or less drooping. Pot grown 
2-3 ft. 85c, 114-2 ft. 75c, 1-14 ft. 65c. 
S. tetraptera grandiflora, (9). Makes a real tree. Flowers golden yellow in clusters of 
4 to 8. Pot grown 114-2 ft. 75c, 1-144 ft. 50c. . 
S. tetraptera microphylla, (9). A rather slow growing shrub with tiny leaves. Almost 
deciduous and may be hardier than the others. Pot grown 1-1)4 ft. 65c. 
VIBURNUM burkwoodi, BURK WOOD VIBURNUM, (5). This splendid hybrid, semi-ever- 
green, fragrant Viburnum has been thoroughly described in several recent volumes of G.A. 
From one of its parents, V. carlesi, it gets its delicious fragrance. Growth is loose and open. 
Don’t try to remedy this by pruning; it will fill in by itself as it gets older. Balled 3-4 ft. $3.50; 
pot grown 12-15 in. 85c. 
Flowering Fruit Trees 
We have long been noted for our collection of these trees in which we have specialized ever 
since the nursery was established 25 years ago. They have received more or less attention in the 
previous eight volumes of G.A., but not knowing how long we shall continue issuing this booklet 
we have decided to cover them thoroughly this year. 
Please note that prices quoted are for the usual type of young trees. These have been 
grown outside any prohibited area so may be shipped to any part of California or elsewhere. 
In addition to these we have a wide assortment of heavier specimen plants of most kinds for 
local use in San Francisco Bay region. These may of course be seen at the nursery. 
Dwarti Flowering Almonds 
Very hardy, double flowering forms of Prunus glandulosa. They are rounded shrubs get- 
ting only 3 or 4 ft. tali and are gay with flowers in early spring. The double pink tree Almond is 
of little value,—far inferior to the flowering Peaches and Apricots. 
Dwarf Double Pink, 3-4 ft. 85c, 2-3 ft. 60c. 
Dwarf Double White, 2-3 ft. 60c. 
Flowering Apples 
These are also called Flowering Crabs; the two names are interchangeable. They comprise 
one of the best sections of the Flowering Fruit Trees. In addition to beauty of bloom, most of 
them have highly ornamental fruits which in fact are crabapples of widely varying size. Botani- 
cal name is Malus indicated below by M.
