Lantanas 
These dwarf, compact types of Lantanas are a 
great improvement over the old sprawling or 
semi-climbing type. They are especially desirable 
for bedding or borders, where they furnish bril- 
liant color the year ‘round. Because of their 
habit of growth they require much less pruning, 
and are more constantly in bloom, and the flower 
trusses are larger than the older sorts. 
They grow and bloom all the year in Southern 
California and make beautiful showy pot plants 
and window boxes in colder regions, where they 
are also very useful as summer bedding plants.

ing baskets. They are easily grown in pots or
