CISTUS CORBARIENSIS 
ROCK ROSES 
Cistus corbariensis. In any well drained soil this newer 
Rock Rose has proved very satisfactory. Dark sage green 
leaves, daintily veined and crinkled form a heavy low mound 
of attractive foliage. The 2-inch single flowers in late spring 
and early summer provide a mass of clear glowing white. 
Withstands heat, drought and cold. Sun. 2 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. See illustration. 
Cistus ladaniferus maculatus. If you can visualize a low 
mound of thick-covering, deep green foliage, generously 
sprinkled with large white cherokee roses you will have a 
fair mental picture of this foreground shrub. Add a deep 
maroon blotch to each snowy petal and the picture will be 
complete. Each flower lasts but a day. However, a con- 
stant succession of bloom continues for weeks in late spring 
and early summer. Hardy. Sun and good drainage. 3 ft. 5- 
gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. 
Cistus purpureus. Will grow and thrive on rather steep, 
hot slopes where water is not too easily available. Give the 
plants good drainage and in early summer your garden will 
never know a dull moment. This low spreading plant with 
the rosy-pink, purple tinged, crepe paper flowers will furnish 
continuous splashes of brilliant color. Hardy. 3 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. See color illustration, 
page 19. 
Cistus Silver Pink. Gray-green loosely round shrub, just 
the right size to fit a small space in front of larger shrubs or 
under low windows in a sunny location. Bright pink flowers 
about the size and color of our native roses. Give it a fair 
amount of water. Hardy. 3 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. 
tainers,- 60c. 
DWARF CITRUS 
Though you have no room for large citrus trees, there is 
still no reason why you can’t get your usual Vitamin A-B- 
C-D appetizer before breakfast every morning—not at the 
drug store either, Find a place in the garden with plenty of 
sun and plant a dwarf citrus. Scatter a few in pots about 
the warm parts of the patio. You'll be more than surprised 
at the ornamental value of the bright fruits, sweetly scented 
flowers and remarkable foliage. The following varieties are 
extremely hardy to frost and bear heavy crops of excellent, 
usable fruit. 
Meyer Dwarf Lemon. Most popular of the dwarf citrus 
trees. Withstands heaviest frosts. The orange colored fruits 
are larger than most lemon varieties grown here, juicier and 
of excellent flavor, Quite compact with a little pruning. 
Balled, bushy 1%-2 ft., $2.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 85c. See color illustration, page 34, 
Rangpur Lime. Combines the brilliant golden orange of 
tangerines with highly acid flavor and lush, light green 
foliage to form a most desirable garden shrub or pot speci- 
men. Balled, bushy 1%-2 ft. $2.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; 
gal. containers, 85c. See color illustration, page 5. 
LILIES ON TREES 
Clethra arborea. Lily of the Valley Tree. A new friend 
from Madeira with glossy 3 to 4 inch leaves. Showy panicles 
of white cup-shaped flowers that possess a perfume peculiarly 
their own. Plant in lawn or moist location. Half-hardy. 
Sun. 20 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 85c. 
GRACEFUL COCCULUS 
Cocculus laurifolius. We would not find it at all difficult 
to wax eloquent over a shrub like Cocculus that has prac- 
tically all of the qualities necessary to a truly good shrub. 
Six-inch leathery leaves, heavily veined, are thickly set on 
bright green arching branches. Above and beyond the thicket 
of gleaming foliage the graceful branches nod and sway 
with the slightest breeze. It is hard to believe such charming 
symmetry of outline and substance could be found in one 
plant. Equally suitable for massed planting or for use as a 
specimen. Hardy in all but the coldest sections. Sun or 
shade. Not fussy as to soils. 8 ft. Balled, bushy 3-4 ft., 
$3.50; 21%4-3 ft., $2.50; 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 
50c. 
AUSTRALIAN FUCHSIA 
Correa pulchella. Varieties of low spreading shrubs are 
not too plentiful. Many a nurseryman’s hair has grown gray 
trying to think of good plants that would fit under low 
windows, on terraces at the ends of steps and in angles of 
walks or drives where smart looking dwarf shrubs are 
needed. Correa has helped to solve many of these problems. 
Foliage slightly gray green with the barest suggestion of 
brown. Spreading habit to 3 or 4 feet, about 1%4 to 2% feet 
tall. Small, light pink, broadly bell-shaped flowers Novem- 
ber through March. Immune to frost. Appreciates good 
drainage and a hot location. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. 
containers, 60c. 
BRILLIANT COTONEASTERS 
Probably no other family of shrubs has been used as ex- 
tensively here as the cotoneaster. They feel entirely com- 
fortable at all seasons of the year, not being affected by 
heat or cold, if planted in a sunny location. Their cheerful 
berries warm the days through the whole winter. 
Cotoneaster decora. An outstanding new prostrate Coton- 
easter that is excitingly lovely at all times. In spring each 
glistening small leaved branchlet is tipped with maroon. By 
mid-May the entire plant is alive with small glowing white 
blossoms and through fall and winter a profusion of red 
berries is brilliantly displayed. Sun or part shade. Hardy. 
2% ft. 5 gal containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
Cotoneaster Parneyi. Our most spectacular cotoneaster. 
A graceful slightly pendulous shrub well furnished with 
large dark leaves from the ground up. It puts on two shows 
a year, in spring thousands of small heads of frosty white 
and in winter spectacular quantities of drooping scarlet hued 
berry clusters. Use the flaming berry sprays for Christmas 
decorations. They will last in the house for weeks. 6-8 ft. 
and about as broad as tall. 5-gal containers, $1.75; gal. con- 
tainers, 50c. 
Cotoneaster procumbens. As the name implies, a low 
spreading shrub. Will drape over low walls or clamber be- 
tween and over stones in the rock garden. Very effective. 
too, in parkings and under low windows. Tiny, glossy leaves. 
White flowers in spring and vivid scarlet berries in winter. 
Grows to 1 ft. tall. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers. 
50c. 
FAIRY LANTERNS 
Daboecia cantabrica alba. Menziesia. A cute little rascal 
that only grows about a foot tall but he certainly feels his 
importance for in spring and early summer he hangs small 
glowing white bells all up and down his slender heather-like 
branches. You can’t help but love him. Sun or light shade. 
Gal. containers, 60c. See illustration, page 16.
