1 gal. $0.60; 5 gal. $1.75. 
SECURIDACA volubilis. (polygalaceae) Guatemala. (5000 ft. ele- 
vation). Introduced by ourselves recently. Semi-scandent evergreen 
shrub with beautiful lustrous lanceolate foliage about 4% inch across and 
three or four inches long, the young growth having a fine bronzy tint. 
Produces during winter, spring and on into the summer, many branching 
racemes of intense violet colored pea-shaped flowers, with creamy yel- 
low keels. It is beautiful grown against a wall or trellis. In its native state 
this plant has the habit of the ordinary blue Plumbago making a large 
arching shrub. We regard this as one of the most beautiful and meritor- 
ious plants recently intrcduced into California. It requires water in 
summer months. Should not be planted against a hot south wall, though 
it will do perfectly well in full sun or half shade. An especially lovely 
Bain sez 1 gal $1.50; 5 gal. $2.50. 
TECOMA stans. ‘‘Yellow Elder’’ (bignoniaceae) South America. 
Beautiful and desirable, almost evergreen shrub which can be kept 
almost any size desired. Specimens are sometimes seen in Southern 
California 15 feet high. During most of the summer and even winter 
months this shrub produces large clusters of yellow trumpet shaped 
flowers, which are slightly fragrant. This is a very easy plant to grow,
