Brunfelsia 
Rare Blue-Flowered Shrub, 
from South America 
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA. A beautiful shrub 
that is coming into wide use in California, 
Flowers, shaped somewhat like Vinca but larger, 
are about 114 inches across, rich violet in color, 
changing with age through lilac to almost pure 
white. It blooms throughout the year, having a 
tremendous crop of flowers in spring, in great 
clusters. These flowers are highly perfumed, and 
cut sprays, which last well in water, remind one 
of giant clusters of lilacs, both in color and fra- 
grance. The Brunfelsia makes a free flowering 
pot plant, and may be grown in sunny window 
boxes and pots, or as a conservatory plant. In 
California it makes a beautiful specimen outdoors, 
and an exceedingly attractive hedge. 1-gallon 
containers, 75c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
BRUNFELSIA EXIMIA. An even finer shrub 
than the better known variety Brunfelsia flori- 
bunda. The foliage is more luxuriant, soft green, 
and the plant has a more shapely habit of growth, 
with large flowers of deep blue. 1-gallon con- 
tainers, $1.00; 5-gal. $2.00. 
Buddleia 
BUTTERFLY BUSH 
Tall, hardy shrubs, bearing long spikes of lilac- 
like blossoms, many of which are fragrant. Bushes 
are rather straggly in growth, unless kept well 
pruned. Chiefly valuable against walls, fences, 
garages, and for their pretty blossoms, which are 
very desirable for cut-flowers. 
BUDDLEIA ASIATICA. White, fragrant flowers 
grayish green. 1-gallon container, 40c. 
BUDDLEIA CHARMING. An _ unusual shade in 
Buddleias, the showy spikes, 12 to 18 inches in 
length, of fragrant flowers being a lovely shade 
of lavender pink. Grows very rapidly, to a height 
of 8 feet, is quite hardy, and blooms from late 
summer through autumn. 5-gal. $1.50. 
BUDDLEIA DUBONNET. Massive round spikes 
of true Dubonnet red flowers, showy and rich, in 
late summer. The plant grows erect, strong 
stemmed, with heavy leathery foliage. A hand- 
some shrub and splendid cutflower. 5-gal. $1.50. 
BUDDLEIA ILE DE FRANCE. For brilliance and 
richness of color, uniform habit of growth, and 
great length of flower spikes which are freely 
produced, this new Buddleia surpasses all of the 
dark purple varieties. The flowers are a very 
deep violet purple, much darker than the com- 
mon Magnifica. 5-gal. $1.50. 
Boxwood 
BUXUS 
These very ornamental shrubs are quite neces- 
sary in the formal garden, as well as being at- 
tractive in shrubbery groups. For tub culture as 
specimens they are unequalled, as they stand 
trimming to any desired shape. 
BUXUS JAPONICA. Japanese Boxwood. Makes 
the most attractive bright green low border or 
hedge. Its glossy foliage gives a finished appear- 
ance to the garden. It is also the best species 
for trimmed specimens, either in tubs or in for- 
mal gardens. 1-gallon containers, 40c; 3-inch 
pots, 15c; in plant band pots, 100 for $3.50.

Calliandra 
TRINIDAD FLAME BUSH 
CALLIANDRA GUILDINGI. One of the most 
attractive shrubs we have. Of fine, rounded habit, 
about six feet high, it has beautiful feathery 
acacia-like evergreen foliage, and becomes a sheet 
of color in spring and summer, when it is covered 
with flowers made up of vivid scarlet stamens in 
large fluffy tufts. Grows best in full sun, and 
stands considerable frost. 1-gallon containers, 
85¢; 5-gal. $2.00. 
Callistemon 
BOTTLE BRUSH 
CALLISTEMON VIMINALIS. This makes a 
beautiful weeping small tree, upon the drooping 
branches of which are produced the brilliant red, 
showy flowers. It blooms four times a year, cov- 
ering an unusually long period. Unlike most 
Bottle Brushes it likes plenty of water, and con- 
sequently makes an ideal lawn specimen. 1-gallon 
containers, 60c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
Cantua 
MAGIC FLOWER 
CANTUA BUXIFOLIA. This plant can be used 
as a semi-vine or as a shrub useful for covering 
banks or terraces. Flowers are about two and one- 
half inches long, tubular, Fuchsia-like and bright 
red in color; very showy. 1-gallon containers, 60c; 
5-gal. $1.75. 
Carissa 
CARISSA GRANDIFLORA. Natal Plum. One of 
the most beautiful of our evergreen shrubs. The 
foliage is dark glossy green, and very dense. 
Flowers are waxy, pure white, with a jasmine-like 
fragrance and when in bloom, the bush has the 
appearance of being covered with stars. The fruit 
is an additional attraction — bright red, like a 
very large cranberry, and is edible. The shrub 
stands shearing well, and is admirably adapted to 
seacoast planting, even standing salt-spray. Also 
succeeds in the interior if given frost protection. 
1-gallon containers, 60¢; 5-gal. $1.75. 
Cassia 
CASSIA NAIROBENSIS. Attractive bushy shrub, 
growing ten to fifteen feet high. Grows very 
rapidly, and blooms freely; long spikes of deep 
golden yellow flowers as large as a cluster of 
wistaria blooms. Leaves pinnate, bright green. 
Shrub well adapted to dry locations. 1-gallon 
containers, 60c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
CASSIA SPLENDIDA. South America. One of 
the most showy of this genus. The shapely bush 
makes a fine lawn specimen, with clear brilliant 
golden yellow flowers like the Golden Shower of 
Hawaii, produced in such great profusion that the 
bush is a mass of gold from summer until the 
beginning of winter. These flowers make exquis- 
ite cut-flower decorations. Well adapted to 
Southern California coastal belt from Santa Bar- 
bara to San Diego. 1-gallon containers, 60c; 5- 
gal. $1.75. 
CASSIA TOMENTOSA. A tall shrub or bushy 
tree, with attractive deep green foliage and large 
golden yellow flowers the greater part of the 
year. Especially useful for background planting 
in groups of shrubbery, or at the fringe of a 
lawn area. 1-gallon container, 60c; 5-gal., 4-5 
feet, $1.75. 
Ceanothus 
CALIFORNIA WILD LILAC 
Beautiful shrubs with attractive foliage, and 
lovely dainty flowers. Very satisfactory for hill- 
side plantings where a native effect is desired. 
Must have well drained soil. 
CEANOTHUS CYANEUS. The very dark blue 
variety, native to the mountains in San Diego 
County. Small glossy foliage. Very beautiful. 1- 
gallon containers, 75¢; 5-gal. $1.75. 
CEANOTHUS GLORIOSUS. A valuable addition 
to the list of prostrate shrubs, of low, spreading 
growth, not more than 8 inches high, forming a 
dense mat, 6 to 8 feet in diameter, of glossy, 
evergreen foliage. In spring, the plants are a 
mass of brilliant blue flowers, sweetly fragrant. 
Makes a wonderful ground cover for a north bank 
or hillside. Should have at least partial shade, 
and some watering. Plant with taller growing 
Ceanothus or with Fremontia, for spectacular 
color effects. 1-gallon containers, each $1.00.
