V eronicas 
The following three shrubs are native to New Zealand. All have 
good habits of growth and attractive foliage. They never get too 
large or require more than occasional pruning to keep in shape. 
Along the coast they are valuable for their ability to tolerate salt 
spray and take open situations. In the interior they benefit by pro- 
tection from hot sun and dry winds.

bear 4-inch spikes of blue flowers in early summer. Best if pruned 
every second year. Gal. 40c.

with small round light green leaves. An excellent substitute for box; 
useful in rockeries and as low hedges. Gal. 40c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Veronica imperialis (Royal Speedwell). One cf the best cf the 
group. Three feet or so with deep green, glossy leaves and showy 
royal purple flowers. Gal. 40c. 

The Popular Viburnums 
Viburnum japonica (Japanese Snowball). This is a very fine to- 
liage plant and is frequently mistaken for the English laurel 
because of its very rich green, massive foliage. The shrub will 
attain a height of from 8 to 10 feet and will stand a sunny loca- 
tion much better than will the English laurel. It may be trimmed as 
a hedge or will take on beautiful proportions when allowed to grow 
naturally. Gal. 45c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Viburnum odoratissimum (Fragrant Snowball). One of the best dual 
purpose shrubs we have to offer; a very fine foliage plant with 
heavy masses of rich green leaves; also produces fragrant clusters 
of white flowers during early summer. Grows 6 to 8 feet and will 
stand a sunny or shady location equally well, on moderate amount 
of water. Hard to beat for landscape foundation planting or in- 
formal shrub screen. Gal. 60c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
Viburnum robusta. Comparatively new variety; particularly free 
of mildew and can therefore be used in shady locations. Similar to 
tinus variety in appearance but leaves are a good deal more 
round and somewhat more prolific. l-gal. 45c; 5-gal. $1.70. 
VIBURNUM SUSPENSUM (Sandankqua). This shrub is becoming 
more and more popular for several well-founded reasons; develops a 
very solid mass of rich green foliage from ground to topmost 
branch; is hardy in all respects; wil] thrive in any climatic condi- 
tions in California; will require as little care as any plant we 
know of. Height 6 to 10 feet; a gcod screen planting that will be 
impossible to see through. Pinkish white flower clusters in winter.
