FRAGRANT GARDENIAS 
The ravishing perfume of their pearly-white blossoms 
combined with thick covering foliage make them one of our 
best year-round shrubs. Give them the benefit of good 
drainage, a slightly acid soil, plenty of moisture and little 
cultivation and they'll really do things for you and to you.

cate texture. Glossy leaves often to 5 or 6 inches in length.

containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 75c. 
DESERT ROSE 
Gossypium Stuartii. Desert Rose. Brings to mind the song 
“Rosalie—Down by the Rio Grande.” If Rosalie were half as 
attractive as this lavender and maroon beauty we'd certainly 
like to have known her. Erect, well branched shrub to 6 ft. 
Two-inch flowers of about the shape and texture of hibiscus 
blooms. Short-stemmed leaves are nearly round. Requires 
good drainage and little water. Sun. Hardy. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.50; gal. containers, $1.00. 
PORTUGUESE SUN ROSE 
Helianthemum lasianthum. Silver gray foliaged shrub to 
2 it. Spreading. Each morning through spring a fresh lot 
of yellow single flowers blotched with maroon, greets the 
morning sun. Each day you'll probably think the little shrub 
surely must have reached the end of its blooming but are 
happily surprised to find it right back on the job again. 
Excellent in the rock garden or for foreground planting. 
Needs good drainage, sun and little water. Hardy. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 65c. 
HIBISCUS

all winter, these huge flowered beauties provide a satisfying 
display of both warm and subdued colors. Fertilized freely, 
they will grow rapidly and bloom heavily the same season 
they are planted. Plant in sun. Hardy, except in cold loca- 
tions. 6-8 ft.

HYDRANGEAS 
Along in June, just before the summer sun really gets to 
work, the huge panicles of hydrangeas put on their colorful 
Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. Hydrangea hortensis grows 
faster and larger than the French and German hybrids but 
both the panicles and individual florets are fewer and 
smaller. We have counted over 200 individual florets on 
single panicles of some of the better hybrids. Easily grown 
in most any shaded spot. Provide plenty of water. : 
Prices: 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 75c.

on your soil conditions or type of fertilizer. 6 ft. 
BRILLIANT GOLD FLOWER 
‘Hypericum patulum Henryi. A type much superior to 
older varieties in that the bright 2-inch yellow flowers, with — 
their handsome golden stamens are borne through the entire 
summer and fall. The bronzy tipped willowy branches are 
thickly clothed even in winter with charming soft green 
leaves right down to the ground. A shrub that never fails 
to please. Sun or shade. 2-3 ft. Hardy. Balled, bushy 114-2 
ft., $2.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.00;. gal. containers, 65c.
