herbaceous and Wood Perennials 
AGAPANTHUS umbellatus var. mooreanus (liliaceae) South Af- 
rica. Very dwarf form of the ordinary blue flowered ‘Lily of the Nile.” 
Virtually deciduous, leaves dying down to the ground in winter.. Large 
heads of intense blue flowers are borne on slender stems from 12” to 18” 
long. A particularly useful and beautiful Agapanthus, as a dozen plants 
will not take up as much room as one clump of the old type. 1 gal. $0.50. 
ANGELONIA grandiflora (scrophulariaceae) South America. A 
new introduction resembling a lavender colored Penstemon. The flow- 
ers are borne in profusion on long spikes similar to a Penstemon, and are 
a beautiful violet or lavender shade. Both flowers and foliage have 
a strong fragrance of ripe apples. It does best in well-drained soil in 
either full sun or part shade with plenty of water during the summer 
months. It also makes an excellent pot or greenhouse plant. Great 
addition to the ranks of blue or lavender colored flowers. Should not be 
planted in too acid a soil. Introduced into Southern California by us. 
ayy 1 gal. $0.40. 
ASPARAGUS deflexus. (liliaceae) South Africa. Very graceful, © 
evergreen drooping asparagus. Not ordinarily seen. Makes a beautiful 
hanging basket plant, or is admirably adapted for hanging over walls or 
trellises in shady locations. 24°. Pots: 50:50, 
DIERAMA pendula. ‘‘Wind Flower’’ (iridaceae) South Africa. 
Slender plant with evergreen foliage, growing from corms, bearing dur- 
ing the summer on long graceful wiry stems a profusion of bell-shaped 
flowers in shades of pink and purple. These, as they sway in the breeze 
are very attractive. Plant likes full or part sun; if the soil is well-drained 
does not resent plenty of water in the summer, and at the same time is 
fairly drought resistant. Hardy in most parts of California. The corms 
should be left undisturbed in the ground for several years. 18°. 
1 gal. $0.65.
