Red Australian Fuchsia _ 
*kCORREA harrisi, RED AUSTRALIAN FUCHSIA (8-9). Our being able to offer this 
beautiful plant is a sort of triumph of persistence. We had learned of the great esteem 
in which it was held in England but were also told by those who had tried that all im- 
portations had promptly died. We then imported it four consecutive years. As with our 
predecessors, every one died. Finally instead of trying to save the plants we took cuttings 
as soon as they arrived and succeeded in rooting seven. Our entire stock has been built 
up from these! As soon as the little plants flowered we exhibited it before the California 
Horticultural Society who granted it their Award of Merit. 
Flowers are tubular, larger than those of the popular C. pulchella, solid red, and borne 
profusely even on small plants. It is purely a winter bloomer, flowering from December 
to April. It will thrive in either sun or shade; is hardy in Zone 9 and probably in the 
milder parts of Zone 8, and requires no particular type of soil. We simply can’t see how 
such a beautiful and striking novelty can fail to endear itself to garden lovers. A.M.C.H.S. 
Pot grown strong plants, flowering size $1.50, specially selected plants $1.75. 
CRINODENDRON dependens, WHITE LILYTREE (9). An excellent small tree of quick 
growth with good habit and foliage bearing hanging white bell shaped flowers. Does not 
require acid soil and is not “cranky” like the red flowering C. patagua. We find that it 
stays in bloom for several months during summer and regard it as among the best of the 
newer evergreen trees. It seems to us that this should find wide use in the S. F. Bay region 
not only in gardens but as a good street tree where an evergreen is wanted. Balled 4-5 
a $2.50, 3-4 Me $2.00; gallon can 4-5 ft. $1.25, 3-4 ft. 85c; pot grown 4-5 ft. $1.00, 3-4 ft.

DAPHNE. During the last ten years we have had a lot of fun gathering here as many 
Daphnes as we could from all over the world. Some are very striking. Did you ever 
imagine there could be such a thing as a Daphne with golden yellow flowers? We know 
there is because we not only have but have flowered it. Propagation is extremely slow 
and we won't be able to sell it and other rare ones for three or four years. But below we 
offer three scarce ones while the rare and beautiful Lilac Daphne (D. genkwa) will be 
found under Deciduous Shrubs and other evergreen kinds in Part II. 
*D, collina neapolitana (7). Small rounded shrub of slow growth but not really dwarf. 
Leaves fairly small. Flowers come in clusters of about five all over the bush and are rosy 
pink suffused lavender. Supposed to bloom fall and spring but here it often shows up 
well during the winter and in fact is in flower off and on for a good deal of the time. 
Balled 12-15 in. $3.00, 10-12 in. $2.50; pot grown 4-6 in. $2.00. 
*D. dauphini (7). A most astonishing Daphne. There is a specimen just outside the window 
by the writer’s desk so that for the last three or four years he has had the interesting ex- 
perience of watching it bloom uninterruptedly from early August to late March! It has 
a loose erect habit and blooms toward and at the ends of the slender branches. Unopened 
buds are dark violet but open orchid purple and are moderately fragrant. While it starts 
flowering in late summer, the crop gets heavier as the season advances so that it is at its 
best throughout the winter months. Another great point in its favor is that it blooms 
freely in San Francisco and other points directly on the coast where the Winter Daphne 
(D. odora) is said not to bloom at all. Balled 24-30 in. $5.00, 18-24 in. $3.50, 15-18 in. $2.50,

*D, genkwa, LILAC DAPHNE. See Deciduous Shrubs. 
*D. SOMERSET (5). Plant Patent 315. We have tested this English hybrid (also known 
as D. burkwoodi Somerset) for several years so we are thoroughly familiar with its be- 
havior. With us it is evergreen and of vigorous rather erect growth. Its main crop comes 
in spring when ends of shoots are completely surrounded with long-tubed deliciously fra- 
grant flowers which are pink in bud, open practically white, and become rosy pink again 
before they drop. In addition to this it has a moderate crop in fall and early winter.

The picture on back cover gives some idea of its beauty, but, far from being exaggerated, 
really fails to do it justice as we have had flower spikes twice as long as the cut would indicate. 
It is very hardy and of easy culture. Customers east of the Rockies will please get this from 
Wayside Gardens, Mentor, Ohio, who hold the patent. Balled 18-24 in. $3.00, 8-12 in. $1.75; 
pot grown 1-14ft. $1.75, 8-12 in. $1.50.
