HYBRID HYDRANGEA ‘See page 23 
FALSE HOLLY 
Osmanthus Aquifolium. Deeply cut holly-like leaves that 
maintain a varnished appearance at all times. A quite versa- 
tile plant in that it lends itself exceedingly well to espalier 
forms, grows into a thick hedge if trimmed or produces a 
shrub of handsome proportions when used as a specimen 
shrub either in pots or in the ground. Planted in the shade, 
extremes of temperature, either heat or cold, will not affect 
it. An excellent plant in every respect. 5-gal. containers, 
$2.50; gal. containers, 85c. 
SWEET OLIVE 
Osmanthus fragrans. Sweet Olive. Sweet indeed! Not 
with the overpowering fragrance of gardenia but a_ soft, 
elusive odor that reminds you of a perfume you should be 
able to remember, but cannot. Magnificent well foliaged 
shrub to 8 ft. that is perfectly hardy in either sun or shade 
but the brilliant foliage loses a little of its brightness in full 
sunlight. Makes an excellent plant. A little peat or leaf mold 
helps. Balled, 114-2 ft., $2.50; 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. 
containers, 75c. 
CALIFORNIA HOLLY 
Photinia arbutifolia, One of our finest native shrubs. Dark 
heavy foliage on a 8-10 ft. plant. Small white flowers de- 
velop into dense clusters of bright berries that are used 
extensively for house decorations at Christmas time. Grows 
rapidly in sun or part shade and is not affected by frost. 
Requires little attention but does appreciate good drainage. 
Go easy on the fertilizer. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 75c. 
CHINESE PHOTINIA 
Photinia serrulata. In hot, dry interior regions as well as 
near the coast this 8-10 ft. shrub with large glossy leathery 
leaves is one of our finest. Chill autumn nights paint many 
of the leaves in shades of maroon and glistening scarlet, 
presenting an effect that will remind you Eastern folk of 
frost and fall leaves. Clouds of white flowers in dense heads 
during spring. Sun. Not fussy as to soil or weather con- 
ditions. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
PITTOSPORUMS 
The pittosporum family is peculiarly adapted to our South- 
ern California soil and weather conditions. No shrub plant- 
ing, large or small, could be complete without this variety. 
Successfully grown in most any soil. 
Pittosporum eugenioides. To break angles of buildings or 
used against tall walls this dense upright shrub is pleas- 
ingly effective. Yellowish green foliage peppered with black. 
12 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal) contain= 
Sun. Hardy. 
ers 0c 
Pittosporum Tobira. A trusty stand-by through many 
years for massed plantings in front of taller shrubs or under 
windows or at walk and drive intersections. Heavy, waxy 
foliage that is not affected by extremes of heat or cold, 
maintains a clean appearance in all seasons. In hot interior 
sections, if planting against buildings, the shaded side is 
preferable. For best results keep pruned to less than 5 ft. 
Fragrant creamy-white flowers. You simply cannot get along 
without this remarkable shrub. Hardy. Balled, bushy 11%-2 
ft., $1.85; 15-18 in., $1.50; 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. con- 
tainers, 50c. 
Pittosporum Tobira variegata. Same as preceding variety 
except for white variegation of the leaves. Grows 
compact with no pruning. Thrives in either sun or shade. 
Balled, bushy 2-3 ft., $3.00; 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. con- 
tainers, 60c. 
Very 
Pittosporum undulatum. Victorian Laurel. Because of its 
sizable cool green undulate foliage, symmetry of outline, 
versatility and deliciously fragrant white flowers it has been 
a favorite for many years. Trimmed it will make a thick 
hedge to 8 or 10 ft. that is always presentable. It is often 
grown in tree form where space does not permit planting a 
wide-spreading tree. Grown as a background in border plant- 
ing or to break wide expanse of wall no large shrub is more 
attractive. Balled, bushy 3-3% ft., $4.00; 2-3 ft., $2.00; 5-gal. 
containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. 
BLUE PLUMBAGO 
Plumbago capensis. If you want azure blue flowers from 
May until December plant this variety. Draped over low 
walls or planted on banks where water is not readily avail- 
able Plumbago will thrive. If pruned twice yearly the plant 
will fill completely a 4-ft. space. Hardy except in coldest 
locations. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. 
FERN PINE 
Podocarpus elongata. A lovely erect visitor from South 
Africa, with small narrow leaves and drooping branchlets, 
that with a little pruning is most satisfactory for framing 
large windows or for use against buildings where height 
and airyness are indicated. Also an unusually attractive pot 
plant for the patio. Shade or sun. Hardy except in very cold 
spots. Balled, bushy 5-6 ft., $4.00; 4-5 ft., $3.00; 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.50; gal. containers, 85c. 
Podocarpus macrophylla. Still more attractive than the 
foregoing variety. Tall pyramidal shrub with a sturdy central 
stem from which radiate small branches that are whorled 
with narrow deep green foliage. They never fail to cause 
much comment when used to break sharp angles of build- 
ings, to give height against patio walls or when grown in 
pots or tubs. The shrub is growing fast in popularity. The 
more we see of it the better we like it and it carries our hearty 
recommendation. Will grow in sun or shade. Hardy. Balled, 
6-7 ft., $6.00; 5-6 ft., $5.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. con- 
tainers, 85c.
