EVERGREEN DEUTZIA 
Deutzia pulchra. Substantial, leathery, olive-green foli- 
age and big showy flower clusters (30 to 40 blooms). Each 
pearly white, yellow centered flower is daintily brushed on 
the reverse side with carmine rose. Blooms heavily in 
spring and early summer and is particularly desirable for 
cutting. It’s new. Sun or part shade. Hardy. 5 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
BREATH OF HEAVEN 
Diosma pulchrum. Pink Breath of Heaven. Countless 
thousands of minute star-shaped rose-lavender flowers cover 
the heather-like tips of this dwarf compact shrub in early 
spring. Prune twice yearly, early and mid-summer and you 
will have a shrub that will keep its good looks for years. 
Hardy. Plenty of sun. 2%-3 ft. Balled, very bushy 1%4-2 ft., 
$2.25; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 50c. 
Diosma Reevesii. Much lower growing than the preced- 
ing variety and far superior in every way to alba, the va- 
riety so popular for many years. Soft, compact heath-like 
foliage that is spicily fragrant when crushed. Flowers snow 
white. Sun and good drainage. Hardy, except in severe 
frosts. Balled, very bushy, 12-15 in., $2.00; 5-gal. containers, 
$2.00; gal. containers, 50c. 
WINTER BLOOMING HEATHER 
Erica melanthera rosea. This is a much improved variety 
bearing clouds of deep rosy purple flowers from October 
until April. Enjoys cold weather—the colder the nights the 
deeper the color. Keep it in the sun and on the acid side. 
Long lived. Hardy. 6-7 ft. Balled, bushy, 2-2% ft., $2.00; 
5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 50c. 
WHITE AND CARMINE 
Escallonia organensis. The first season we were not par- 
ticularly impressed by the small plants we grew but those 
same small plants in two years’ time—planted at our Lom- 
bardy Ranch—have developed into spectacular six-foot 

AFRICAN BUSH DAISY—EURYOPS 
For List of Fragrant Vines, Shrubs, Trees See Page 51 

FREMONTIA MEXICANA 
mounds of mahogany red stems, large polished leaves and 
glorious panicles of white bloom tinged with carmine. We 
know of few large shrubs that present such attractive ap- 
pearance. And, besides, the shrub is hardy and easily grown. 
6-8 ft. Sun or part shade. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 85c. ¥ 
EUGENIA 
Eugenia myrtifolia. You could almost call this an all- 
purpose shrub. If allowed to grow unpruned the bronzy 
tipped foliage will rise rapidly to form a thick growing shrub 
of 15 or 20 ft. Trimmed in pyramid shape they are much 
used to frame large windows, to break long stretches of 
wall or to soften the corners of buildings, For a closely 
clipped hedge of from 3 to 10 feet they are unsurpassed. 
5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 65c. 
LILLI-PILLI TREE 
Eugenia Smithii. Not just another eugenia but a bushy 
bronzy-green foliaged shrub that grows thickly to 10 or 15 
feet. Large clusters of %4-in. lavender berries. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
AFRICAN DAISY BUSH 
Euryops Athanasiae. Does everything in a big way. Raises 
its slender foliage quickly to a height of 4 or 5 feet then in 
late fall, winter and spring come huge terminal clusters of 
sparkling yellow marguerite-like bloom. The flowers are 
often 2%-3 in. across. Tender to frost. Sun and drainage. 
Gal. containers, 75c. 
GOLDEN FREMONTIA 
Fremontia mexicana. Flourishes like the proverbial “Green 
Bay Tree,” quickly attaining a height of 8-10 ft. if planted 
in loose soil. Delightful 2-in. single golden yellow flowers 
peek out at you from among the brownish-green maple-like 
leaves and appear in spectacular quantities near the tips of 
the branches. Hardy. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. 
containers, $1.00.
