YUCCA (Yuk’-ka)—Adams Needle 
Stately plants for sunny exposed positions having ever- 
green sword-like leaves. They eventually form huge 
clumps of foliage that is very effective in the border or 
among coniferous evergreens in foundation plantings. 
filamentosa—A bold and handsome subject sending up a 
strong stalk 5’ tall with an immense branching head of 
large drooping creamy bells. Perfectly hardy anywhere, 
lending a tropical appearance to our northern gardens. 
25c each; 3 for 65c; doz. $2.50 
ZAUSCHNERIA (Zausch-neer’-i-a) — 
Humming Bird Fuchsia 
One of the showiest of plants having brilliant fuchsia- 
like blooms on somewhat shrubby bushlets. At home in 
full sun. Especially good for wall or rockery planting 
but equally good in the sunny border. 
*californica—Forms a mass of prostrate silvery foliage with 
clouds of bright scarlet trumpets in late summer and 
fall. Very fine. 35c each; 3 for 95c 
*latifolia—A little more upright in growth with deep green 
foliage. Very floriferous. Well worth a trial.
