Flowering Evergreen Shrubs 
Abelias 
Abelia grandiflora (Ruprestris, Glossy Abelia). An excellent 
shrub with a blooming period covering about nine months of the 
year. This shrub is heavily covered with dainty shell pink flowers 
suitable for cutting. The foliage is always attractive when planted 
in full sun and given moderate moisture. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. can $1.70. 
ABELIA SCHUMANII (New Pink Abelia). We believe this lovely 
new Abelia from China to be one of the finest new shrubs intro- 
duced in recent years. Beautiful clusters of pinkish-lavender flowers, 
much larger and brighter than Abelia Grandiflora, appear in pro- 
fusion all through spring and summer. Small shiny foliage on grace- 
ful arching stems truly makes a gorgeous shrub when in full bloom. 
Perfectly hardy anywhere, any soil in part shade or in the sun. 
Seldom taller than 3 or 4 feet. Gal can. 45c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Flowering Maple 
Abutilon. We grow many varieties of this free-blooming shrub, 
all of which are beautiful additions to the garden. Large, bell- 
shaped flowers are abundantly produced throughout the summer. 
Available in the following colors: yellow, orange, red, pink, red 
and yellow, and white. Gal. 40c. 
Bush Acacias 
Acacia cultriformis (Knife Acacia). One of the smaller growing 
Acacias. In summer months the branches are well covered with 
bright yellow fuzzy flowers. Does not develop a main stem, and 
because of its branching habit makes an excellent shrub for hardy 
backgrounds. Gal. containers, 45c; 5-gal. containers, $1.70. 
Acacia verticillata (Needle Acacia). A very good shrub Acacia 
useful for screen-planting. Its sharp, needle-like leaves will dis- 
courage anyone from trying to break through a hedge of it. The 
pale creamy yellow flowers are beautiful in spring. Gal. 40c. 
Japanese Maple 
Acer palmatum, Japanese Maple. A delicate foliage shrub with 
interesting branching habit and beautiful leaves. The leaves have 
5 to 7 or more long-pointed, graceful divisions and come either in 
light green or shades of red. Sun or light shade. Plant either in 
the open ground or as a tub plant where it will make a wonderful 
specimen. Gal. $1.00; 5-gal. $3.25. 
Canary Island Lupine 
ADENOCARPUS FOLIOSUS. We feel that it would be difficult to 
overestimate the beauty of this shrub of quite recent importation. 
Spikes of brilliant yellow flowers borne at the end of each branch 
are in bloom during the late spring and early summer, making this 
one of the most showy shrubs to be planted. Excellent foliage 
throughout the entire year adds to its desirability. The individual 
flowers resemble the lupine in shape, but are much larger. l-gal. 
45c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Rice Paper Plant 
Aralia sieboldi (Glossy Rice Paper Plant), This is one of our 
best shade loving foliage plants and can be used to duplicate the 
lush growth of the jungles. The leaves are always a brilliant, 
glossy green borne on compact heads. The flower is creamy white 
followed by a glossy black berry. l-gal. 40c; S-gal. $1.70. 
Strawberry Tree 
Arbutus unedo. One of our best large growing, hardy shrubs 
that may be used equally well in mass planting or as a single 
specimen. Blue white flowers hanging in small clusters which 
resemble Lily of the Valley. Fruit is borne throughout the entire 
tree, first appearing with a deep yellow color changing to a brilliant 
red as it ripens, closely resembling the common strawberry. The 
fruit is edible as well as highly ornamental. 1 gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Shrub Aster 
Aster fruticosa. A beautiful free flowering small shrub, about 2 ft. 
high, very compact, almost solidly covered with small bluish-lav- 
ender flowers in early summer. Does well anywhere and has our 
hearty recommendation. 1-gal. 40c. 
Aucuba japonica variegata. One of the old standbys for use in 
complete shade. This plant very seldom flowers in Southern Calli- 
fornia, but its luxuriant foliage more than makes up for its lack 
of bloom. It will do better under a reasonably moist condition. As 
a potted plant it is also quite successful. l-gal. 55c; 5-gal. $2.20.

ABELIA SCHUMANII—PINK ABELIA 
Red-leaved Barberry 
Berberis atropurpurea. Low rounded shrub 3 to 4 feet high with 
dense branching habit, completely covered with small round bright 
red leaves. Red berries. Gal. 45c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Berberis darwini. This dark green foliaged shrub makes an ex- 
cellent barrier. The leaves are holly-like and grow in a compact 
manner. In the spring waxy orange-yellow flowers make an ex- 
cellent contrast with the dark green foliage. After it is through 
blooming small plum colored berries appear. It grows well in sun 
or shade. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.90. 
Parrot Feather 
Beloperone tomentosa. This colorful little shrub is frequently 
spoken of as the flowering hop, or ornamental hop, although not 
of the hop family. They resemble the hop because of the very 
showy bracts which are very colorful in shades of reds and 
yellowish browns. The flower itself is an inconspicuous white 
within the bracts. As an oddity it lends color to any garden. 
Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.50. 
Bouvardia 
Bouvardia humboldti (Sweet Bouvardia). This lovely 3-foot shrub 
produces large star-like tubular flowers which are intensely fra- 
grant. It requires semi-shade to full shade and therefore is adapted 
to the cool corners of a patio. To get the best bloom, this plant 
should be pruned once or twice a year. Gal. 60c. 
Rose gem (Pink Bouvardia). Although the blossoms of this bou- 
vardia are not fragrant, they are such a lovely shade of pink that 
the fragrance is not missed. These pink flowers will make a grand 
showing all through the year. This plant also needs to be pruned 
twice a year. Gal. 60c. 
Bouvardia Coccinea 
A new addition to this valuable group of shrubs. Bright 
red flowers in abundance, borne in clusters on the upper 
parts of the shrub. Handsome foliage, brilliant flowers. Gal. 
containers $1.00.
