stand, to an ultimate height of about 3 feet. Flowers profusely during 
summer with us, producing quantities of blue trumpet shaped flowers 
with dark veinings in the throat. Appears to prefer a reasonably light, 
well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. Will stand a few degrees of 
frost but probably not hardy to severe cold. Very attractive. 25° (GH). 
1 gal. $0.75. 
ELAEAGNUS philippensis. ‘“‘Lingaro’’ (elaeagnaceae) Philippine 
Islands. Rare evergreen shrub which sometimes takes.a semi-climbing 
habit. Has a very graceful drooping form. Slender, oblong, pointed 
leaves, silvery on the under side. The young growth has a fine russet 
color—the flowers are inconspicuous but very fragrant. The pink or 
pale red fruits which make good jelly are the size of a small Olive and 
have a tart flavor. Much the best of this family. Any soil, sun or half 
shade. 22°. 1 gal. $0.85; 5 gal. $2.00. 
ERIOCEPHALUS africanus. (compositae) South Africa. New in- 
troduction. An extremely beautiful and charming dwarf evergreen 
shrub with grayish foliage, and dense clusters of small white flowers 
succeeded by fluffy seed vessels. A perfect plant for dry hillside plant- 
ing or terraces. Must have well-drained soil, plenty of sun and not too 
much water in the summer. 25°. 4” pots $0.60; 1 gal $0.85. 
ERYTHRINA bidwilli. (leguminosae). Hybrid between E. crista-galli 
and E. herbacea. We consider this by far the showiest and hardiest of 
all the shrubby Erythrinas. Its habit is to make only a short thick trunk 
from which grow innumerable long slender spikes of intense glowing 
crimson. The flowers occur with the foliage from early summer until 
winter. Kesponds to good soil and liberal irrigation, but at the same time 
is very drought resistant. The best Erythrina to grow in cold regions. 
A beautiful subject,—rare and seldom seen. 18°. 
1 gal. $2.00; 5 gal. $3.50. 
ERYTHRINA humeana. (leguminosae) South Africa. Dwarf de- 
ciduous Coral plant bearing in late summer and autumn well into the 
winter very long slender spikes of brilliant orange-scarlet flowers. A 
rare and particularly beautiful Erythrina. Can be cut back hard when 
the blooming season is over. New introduction. 22°. 
1 gal $1.00; 5 gal. $2.50. 
ESCALLONIA organensis. (saxifragaceae) Organ mountains, 
Brazil. In our opinion one of the best, if not the best, of the entire fam- 
ily. Particularly good evergreen foliage, young growth having an at- 
tractive reddish tint, bearing continually terminal heads of pinkish 
white or rosy-pink flowers. A strong and vigorous grower. Like all the 
family appreciates plenty of water, likes sun, or half sun, and is at its 
best in the coastal regions. 18°. 1 gal. $0.60; 5 gal. $1.75. 
EUCALYPTUS macrocarpa. West Australia. Really a shrub and not 
a tree as it never exceeds 12 or 15 feet in height. Has silver gray foliage
