DOUBLE PINK OLEANDER 
Heavenly Bamboo 
Nandina domestica. Few shrubs give the winter coloring to be 
had from Nandina, during the coldest weather. Fairly dwarf with 
upright stems fully clothed with loose graceful foliage, it produces 
large sprays of white flowers early in summer and turns these into 
bright scarlet kerries. Best in sun. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Oleander 
NERIUM OLEANDER. The Oleander is an ever popular favorite 
among the shrubs. Extremely resistant to drought, heat and cold, it 
continues to thrive with little care. We offer the following choice 
varieties: 
Bettie. Dainty free-blooming variety with single pale pink flow- 
ers. Gal. 40c; balled 3-foot specimens, $1.90. 
Double Red. A beautiful, very deep red, almost maroon. Large 
flowers constantly in bloom from spring to fall. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. 
$1.70. 
Mrs. Roeding. Very desirable free-blooming salmon pink. Makes 
a smaller size bush than the other varieties. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Rosea, Double Pink. Very large flowers, often 2Y2 inches across. 
Fine color. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Rosea variegata, Double Pink Variegated. Much like rosea but 
the leaves have nice yellow variegations. Striking and brilliant. 
Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Single Pink. Pink flowers produced in quantity. Very showy. 
Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Single red. Good red. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Sister Agnes. Single white, slightly smaller in size but the plant 
makes up for this in abundance of bloom. Nice used as a back- 
ground shrub where the bright green foliage is desirable. Gal. 40c; 
5-gal. $1.70. 
New Zealand Flax 
Phormium tenax variegata. An unusual plant much resembling 
the Yucca, useful for the long grass-like or sword-shaped leaves 
which arise from the base of the plant. The greenish-white or yel- 
lowish stripes make an attractive combination. Gal. 40c; kalled 
plants 3 to 4 ft. $1.70. 
Holly 
Photinia Arbutifolia (California Holly). Large clusters of bright red 
berries appear on this shrub. It is a native of our California moun- 
tains and rather difficult to grow. As a superior substitute we sug- 
gest the following variety. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.75. 
The Beautiful Chinese Photinia 
Photinia serrulata. Medium size shrub. Glorious foliage colorful 
all year but particularly so in cool weather when it assumes brilliant 
hues. As if this were not enough, heavy clusters of red berries 
appear about Christmas. A cheery note because the leaves re- 
semble holly. Sun or light shade. Gal. 50c; 5-gal. $1.85. 
Pittosporum 
Pittosporum eugenioides. This is a tall, slender growing variety 
which is particularly noted for its very pale green leaves which 
are borne on almost black stems, which give the plant a very 
striking effect. Height is about 15 feet and very decidedly a sun 
lover. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Pittosporum phillyraeoides. The best description for this beauti- 
ful variety is to say that it grows in the form of a miniature weep- 
ing willow. The delicate branches well covered with their slender 
willow-like leaves are extremely weeping, giving the plant a very 
graceful appearance. Gal. 45c; 5-gal. $1.85. 
Pittosporum rhombifolium. This is one of the better small trees 
and one which is particularly beautiful in the fall because of its 
heavy crop of bright orange berries borne in heavy clusters. This 
variety gets its name because the general shape of the leaves is 
that of a rhomboid. The tree grows to a height of about 15 feet. 
Gal. 45c; balls 4-5 ft. $1.90. 
Pittosporum tobira. A low compact foliage plant to about five 
feet, producing a heavy crop of greenish-white flowers during the 
summer, which are slightly fragrant. The glossy, rich green 
foliage of this variety makes it always desirable. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. 
$1.70. 
Pittosporum tobira variegata. Identical in growth to the pre- 
ceding variety, except that the background color of this variety 
is a pale green with a white variegation, making this shrub ex- 
cellent for foliage contrast uses. Gal. 45c; 5-gal. $1.90. 
Pittosporum undulatum (Victorian Box). This variety has enjoyed 
years of popularity but is just coming into its own as a very satis- 
factory, large growing tree. The dense foliage and well shaped 
spreading top make this a tree well worth having in anyones 
yard. If used as a shrub be sure that it is planted in a place 
where it can have plenty of room for expansion. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. 
$1.70. 
Cape Plumbago 
Plumbago Capensis. The free blooming habit and the large clus- 
ters of pale blue flowers makes the Cape Plumbago an exceedingly 
attractive shrub. It has a rambling, spreading habit of growth. 
Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.45.
