JUNIPERUS chinensis torulosa, TWISTED OR HOLLYWOOD JUNIPER (4). One of 
the handsomest Junipers of erect growth; foliage is unusually rich green; branches wavy. 
It has a grace and charm hard to describe but always admired. Balled 3 to 4 ft. $4.00, 2% to 
3 ft. $3.50, 2 to 2% ft. $3.00, 1% to 2 ft. $2.50. 
LIBOCEDRUS chilensis, CHILEAN INCENSE CEDAR (6). A very pleasing conifer of 
pyramidal habit. Foliage softer green than in our native L. decurrens. Makes a fairly large 
tree. Growth moderate. Balled 3 to 3% ft. $5.00, 2% to 3 ft. $4.00, 2 to 2% ft. $3.50. 
*PINUS patula, JELECOTE PINE (8). Certainly one of the most beautiful Pines. The 
drooping leaves, borne in clusters, are often 10 or 12 inches long. Makes a spreading round 
head. There are some nice specimens in the Arboretum of Golden Gate Park which are 
greatly admired. Balled 1% to 2 ft. $2.50; pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
TAXUS baccata var.. SILVER GREEN YEW (6). Several years ago we raised a lot of 
seedlings of English Yew which were ultimately planted out in the nursery. One of these 
was so strikingly different that we felt it deserved to be propagated by cuttings. It has a 
nice compact, bushy form and rich deep green foliage with a slight silvery cast. Balled 
2 to 2% ft. $3.50, 1% to 2 ft. $2.50; pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
THUYA occidentalis pyramidalis,s PYRAMIDAL AMERICAN ARBORVITAE (2). We 
repeat last year’s comment: “With Italian Cypress a thing of the past, this is now the best 
tree of slender columnar habit and fairly rapid growth. It has the further advantage of 
having a central trunk with short lateral branches so does not have to be wound up periodi- 
cally with twine to make it keep its form.” Balled 5 to 6 ft. $7.50, 4 to 5 ft. $5.00, 3 to 4 ft. 
$3.50, 2% to 3 ft. $2.50. 
Broad Leaved Evergreens 
ABELIA hyb. Edward Goucher (6). In G.A. ’42 we said: “A beautiful evergreen hybrid 
(grandiflora x schumanni) combining the hardiness of the former with the rich pink flowers 
of the latter. Fine compact habit, glossy foliage and very floriferous over a long season. 
A great boon where A. schumanni is too tender. Our guess is that this will soon become 
more popular than either parent.’ Two years’ additional observation only increases our 
good opinion. It is practically an Abelia grandiflora with rich pink instead of white flowers. 
Balled 3 to 4 ft. (heavy plants) $5.00, 2 to 3 ft. $3.00, 1% to 2 ft. $2.00. 
ARBUTUS menziesi, MADRONE (7). Again we quote from G.A. 42: “One of our most 
beautiful native trees. The only reason it is so rarely seen in cultivation is that it is very 
difficult for nurserymen to propagate so stock is always scarce. Considering its smooth 
cinnamon-colored bark, large rich green leaves, white heather-like flowers and showy red 
berries, it is truly an aristocrat and is exceeded in beauty by very few trees indeed.” Pot 
grown 3 to 4 ft. $2.50, 2 to 3 ft. $2.00, 1% to 2 ft. $1.50. 
*CALLISTEMON S. P. I. 118764, BOTTLE BRUSH (9). This was sent to us by U. S. 
Dept. of Agriculture. After a thorough test we believe it is well worth distributing. The 
spikes are long and full while the flowers are bright scarlet with no suggestion of magenta. 
Our plants are grown from cuttings so all are of uniform type. Pot grown 2 to 3 ft. $1.00, 
Lttorcsits) 9c 
*CALLISTEMON pallidus, PALE BOTTLE BRUSH (9). The Bottle Brushes are usually 
redheads, but this one is a blond with light lemon-colored flowers. Growth decidedly up- 
right. Pot grown 1% to 2 ft. 75c. 
*CAMELLIA Clarke Red (7). Our old specimen, planted about 1872, is one of the most 
widely known trees in California. We say “trees” advisedly as it measures 15% ft. tall 
and 19 ft. through the densely leaved head. Trunk is 43 inches around, 1.e., about 14.3 inches 
diameter. It bears about 6000 to 7000 flowers a year and has never failed in the 27 years 
that we have owned it. Flowers are of medium size and formed as symmetrically as Pink 
Perfection. Color is really that shade of deep rose commonly called red. Real name is 
unknown. Comes into bloom about February and continues for about 6 weeks. Other nur- 
serymen started calling it “Clarke Red” so we “followed suit.” Pot grown (no flower buds) 
15. to 18 in: $1.50, 12 to 15. in, $1.25, 8 to 12 in. $1.00. 
*CAMELLIA Lady Van Sittart (7). This very fine Camellia has unusually large, partially 
double flowers. Color is bright red. Leaves dark green, leathery, long, narrow, acute, and 
usually twisted. Growth vigorous and erect; very free blooming. Both flowers and foliage 
are entirely distinct from all other kinds. Balled (with flower buds) 2 to 3 ft. $7.50.
