CHEERFUL LANTANAS 
Lantanas will produce more color per square inch than 
any other shrub we know and keep it up though almost the 
whole year. Plant them in the sun and don’t pet them too 
much. They seem to thrive on neglect. Hardy except in very 
cold areas and if frozen to the ground they are usually back 
on the job again ‘n a very short time.

A TEXAS BEAUTY 
Leucophyllum texanum. A rather compact silvery foliaged 
shrub to 4 ft. that in late fall—when you might least expect 
it—startles you with many pink flowers that resemble small 
snapdragon. An extremely hardy shrub that will feel at home 
with any of our native plants. Requires little water and will 
not freeze. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. 
THE VERSATILE LIGUSTRUMS 
Some of our best families might leave town and we'd still 
manage to struggle along some way, but if the Ligustrum 
family were to move out on us we sure would be in a bad 
way. For we look to this group for a number of our most 
useful shrubs and hedge plants. 
Ligustrum japonicum. Japanese Privet. Large, leathery 
leaves and white flowers. Unequaled for a fast growing, 
drought resistant hedge. 10-12 ft. Sun or part shade. Hardy. 
5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 35c; flats of about 
100 plants, $1.90. 
Ligustrum nepalense. Wax Leaf. We have maintained 
for years that this is our most valuable foliage shrub. 
Through burning heat, freezing cold or violent winds our 
good friend always looks neat and presentable. Polished 
deep-green leaves about 2 inches in length form a dense mass 
of cool foliage that is always at its best. If allowed to grow 
unpruned the plant attains a height of 8 to 10 feet, with 
approximately the same spread, and is well furnished right 
down to the ground. Trimmed, the plant may be kept under 
a 4-ft. window and grown as a hardy hedge, we assure you 
there is no plant of greater virtue. It feels equally at home 
in sun or shade. Balled, bushy 314-4 ft., $2.00; 3-314 ft., $1.80; 
5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 40c. 
LOROPETALUM 
Loropetalum chinense. If you were to draw a 3-ft. circle 
and plant one of these beauties in the center it would prob- 
ably fill out the circle as perfectly as if it had been tailored 
to order. Grows compactly to 3 ft. tall and in early spring 
is smothered with downy white flowers that attract atten- 
tion in any company. Hardy. Enjoys sun. 5-gal. containers, 
$1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
OREGON GRAPE 
Mahonia Aquifolium. Dark glossy substantial leaves that 
are deeply toothed like the English Holly. Chilly winter 
nights change many of the leaves to shades of yellow and 
scarlet, producing a quite astonishing color arrangement. 
Sunflower-yellow, pea-shaped flowers arrive with the spring. 
Prune back long branches about two-thirds their length each 
winter. By so doing the plant will be kept compact and 
should be attractive at all times, Either sun or shade and 
plenty of moisture. 2-4 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; 
gal. containers, 40c. 
Mahonia compacta. Dwarf Oregon Grape. Exactly like 
the preceding variety except that it grows naturally compact 
to 2% ft. and requires no pruning. Balled, bushy 114-2 ft., 
$1.80; 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. 

MICHELIA FUSCATA 
NEW ZEALAND BEAUTY 
Metrosideros tomentosa. A 70-ft. tree in its New Zealand 
home but just a big brilliantly good-natured shrub here. 
Dark green, 2-inch leathery leaves that are heavily var- 
nished keep the spreading well rounded plant covered in 
all seasons. Dense terminal cymes of dark red flowers. Sun 
or part shade. Will not survive heavy frosts. 5-gal. contain- 
ers, $2.00; gal. containers, 60c. 
FRAGRANT MAGNOLIA 
Michelia fuscata. Glistening foliage, about the size and 
shape of orange leaves, forms a perfect setting for the 2-inch 
red-edged yellow flowers that spread a delightful banana- 
pineapple fragrance. A single plant, against a shaded wall 
will perfume an entire patio. And it’s a handsome specimen 
shrub, too. Hardy. 4-6 ft. 5-gal. containers, 
tainers, 85c. 
2.50; gal. con- 
ORANGE JESSAMINE 
Murraea exotica. Combines the heavy fragrance of orange 
blossoms and the glistening deeply cut foliage of Choisya. 
The white waxy flowers in heavy panicles appear at different 
times during the year. Bushy shrub to 4 ft. Hardy except in 
very cold spots. Part shade. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. 
containers, 60c. 
AFRICAN BOX 
Myrsine africana. A charming little shrub with small 
glossy leaves that is particularly desirable for use in low 
hedges. Grows very compact with a little pruning and pre- 
sents a much cleaner and brighter appearance than boxwood. 
It is valuable also when used individually or in groups wher- 
ever the use of low shrubs is indicated. Hardy. Sun or shade. 
Balled, bushy 15-18 in., $1.80; 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. 
containers, 50c.
