RUELLIA MACRANTHA 
INDIAN HAWTHORN 
Raphiolepis indica. One of our best 5 ft. shrubs (may be 
kept to 2 ft. by pruning), for either sun or shade, because 
of the delicate fragrance of its dainty white bloom, which 
resemble small single peach blossoms, and the character 
built into every 2-inch dark green leathery leaf. Well fo- 
liaged through all seasons and is not affected by extremes 
of either heat or cold. Sun or shade. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; 
gal. containers, 60c. 
Raphiolepis ovata. A most dependable 2% ft. spreading 
shrub that is worried not at all by protracted hot or cold 
spells but keeps its round 2-inch fleshy leaves in a polished 
dark green condition at all times. Bears 4-inch panicles of 
single white flowers, flushed pink, that resemble apple- 
blossoms. Blue black berries about the size of wild grapes 
follow the flowers and remain on the plant for months. 
Either sun or shade. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. contain- 
ers, 50c. 
COFFEE BERRY 
Rhamnus californica. A native shrub of great worth for 
planting in any well drained soil. Grows rapidly to a height 
of 6 or 8 ft., exhibiting smooth bright leaves, umbels of soft 
yellow flowers and purple berries through the seasons. Grows 
about as wide as tall and is well foliaged. 5-gal. containers, 
€2.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
RHODODENDRON 
For planting in filtered shade where uniform moisture 
conditions can be maintained, this family is most satisfactory. 
Huge terminal racemes of large bell-shaped flowers appear 
above the dense leathery foliage about the time your Kurume 
azaleas are through blooming. A Rhododendron in bloom 
always brings forth expressions of amazement at its massive 
beauty. 4-6 ft. Enjoy leafmold and should be fed cotton- 
seed meal or other acid food.

RHUS 
No planting of hardy native shrubs would be complete 
without the following indispensable varieties. All are heavily 
foliaged, require practically no attention and, after becoming 
established, little water. Sun, good drainage and very little 
fertilizer. 
Rhus integrifolia. Lemonade Berry. Leathery deep green 
'%-in. leaves. Dense. Excellent as an espalier. Panicles of 
white flowers. Dark red berries which, it is claimed, make 
a palatable drink (but try it at your own risk). 4-8 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
Rhus laurina. Laurel Sumac. For real spicy fragrance it 
reminds us a little of Cinnamon—but more penetrating. The 
large leathery leaves are painted rich cherry red when they 
first appear; as they age the red changes to green and ma- 
roon. Deep red branches. 10 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; 
eal. containers, 60c. 
GOLDEN CURRANT 
Ribes aureum gracillimum. With the first fall rains this 
handsome shrub breaks out in new shining green foliage and 
during winter bears a marvelous profusion of small golden 
yellow flowers. It will be happy under the trees in your 
native planting. Extremely hardy and drought resistant. 4-5 
ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
MATILIJA POPPY 
Romneya Coulteri. If there is any other plant that will 
stand as much neglect, after becoming established, as this 
variety we’d like to hear about it. Great 6-inch white flowers 
of crepe paper texture are fragrant. Many unbranched gray 
foliaged stalks form a huge clump that when in bloom is 
almost breath-taking. Sun. Drainage. Little water. 6-7 ft. 
Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 85c. 
WINTER BLOOMING RUELLIA 
Ruellia macrantha. Through the entire winter and spring 
2-inch funnel-shaped flowers of deep pink tempered with 
lavender appear on the tip of each tall succulent stalk. Large 
medium green leaves keep the plant well covered. Will grow 
in either sun or shade but should have a warm location as 
it is sensitive to frost. 4 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. con- 
tainers, 50c. 
FRAGRANT SARCOCOCCA 
Sarcococca ruscifolia. You'll have to pardon us if we get 
rather careless with our adjectives when describing this 
plant, for it is one of our favorites. Waxy 1%-inch pointed 
leaves of the deepest green imaginable are set thickly on 
dark green stems. The bushy little plant (it only grows to 
2% ft.) maintains its even temper through any weather and 
in winter its small white flowers possess an intoxicating 
gardenia fragrance. Will thrive in either filtered sunlight or 
heaviest shade. Better try a plant—you’ll love it! Very 
hardy. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
Sarcococca hookeriana. The robust big brother of the 
foregoing variety, polished leaves are a trifle longer and a 
shade lighter in color. Its thin branches are densely foliaged. 
A thoroughly desirable shrub in every particular. Sun or 
shade. Hardy. 6 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. contain- 
ers, 00c. 
AUSTRALIAN BLUE BELL 
Sollya heterophylla. Small-leaved slender twigged shrub 
forming a round 3 ft. thicket of lively green that, in early 
summer, will be covered with dainty nodding blue bells in 
thick racemes. Will climb if given support. Must have good 
drainage. Sun. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. contain- 
ers, 50c. 
COLOR FROM CHINA 
Stranvaesia Davidiana. If you do not have this variety you 
have missed one of China’s best large shrubs, a spectacular 
plant that is intensely interesting and outstandingly lovely 
every day in the year. In fall its large clusters of holly-like 
berries redden and remain prominently displayed until late 
spring. In early winter many of the large highly polished 
leaves turn to shades of crimson and scarlet and in spring 
dense terminal clusters of white flowers spread their mild 
fragrance. Hardy anywhere. Sun or part shade. 8 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 85c.
