BIRD OF PARADISE 
Bird of Paradise. (Strelitzia reginae.) The exotic Bird of Para- 
dise from Africa is completely hardy in California. Makes a 
dense clump of long green leaves from which appear the long 
stems and heads of flowers looking for all the world like a gay 
tropical bird in orange and deep blue. Can be grown success- 
fully in tubs or large pots or in the open ground. 5-gal., $2.50; 
gal., $1.00. 
BRONZY FOLIAGE 
Ternstroemia japonica. Lustrous foliage with rich hues of bronzy 
orange, maturing into three-inch long deep green leaves with 
a bronzy-maroon cast. Seldom over 4 feet tall, this relative 
of the Tea is very much at home and welcome in shady spots 
of the garden for its color alone. 5-gal., $2.00; gal., 60c. 
THE PRINCESS FLOWERS 
Princess Flower (Tibouchina grandiflora). The green hairy leaves 
are often widely placed on this shrub and it may get a little 
gangling and awkward but the display of large mauve flowers 
is indeed surprising. Light pruning will keep the jshape very 
well. Sun or part shade. 5-gal., $1.75; gal., 60c. 
Climbing Princess Flower. Like the above but the leaves are 
smaller and more closely placed. Climbs readily to 10 or 15 
feet so is fine for pergolas and arbors. Covered as it is with 
mauve flowers | to 1 Y2 inches across it makes a good display. 
Gallic 
STARBUSH 
Starbush (Turraea obtusifolia). A neat little shrub with dense 
S. rounded growth of deep green. In summer it is frosted all 
over with little ]1-inch white stars. A free-blooming plant that 
Plant Patent 346 is here to stay. New. Sun. 5-gal., $2.00; gal., 75c. 
BERRIES FOR XMAS! 
Christmas season our eyes center on all red berries. 
Every ikind on the market is being advertised and 
shown. Out of these, we prefer Pyracantha Duvyali. 
We have grown this variety and shown it here in 
Pasadena for the past five years. We do not claim 
this to be the darkest berry, but it is the best RED 
berry and never fails to catch the eye. It is the 
biggest clustering berry—it has resisted all diseases. 
It is not a berry birds will not eat, however. We 
have yet to find one that will not attract birds, but 
there is a distinction among berries. Pyracantha 
Duvali, although red, is not ripe until after Christ- 
mas. Being sour, the birds will not touch the berries 
until after Christmas, when they are ripened. 
Beautiful plants in gallon cans—loaded with ber- 
ries—at $1.00—5 gal., $2.50.
