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.

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, $2.00; gal. 
containers, 65c. 
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 
21% 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, $2.00; gal. containers, 65c.

drainage. Sun. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal, con- 
tainers, 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, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
EXOTIC BIRD OF PARADISE 
Strelitzia reginae. You are ail familiar with the large ex- 
travagant blue orange and yellow flowers that fairly dazzle 
one with their brilliance, Their likeness to the crested head 
of a tropical bird is quite apparent. We who have known 
them for so many years marvel anew each year at their 
exotic loveliness. Sun. Hardy except in very cold spots.

BRONZY TERNSTROEMIA 
Ternstroemia japonica. As a brilliant foliage shrub this 
variety is about the most spectacular of our acquaintance. 
The gloriously hued leaves, lustrous at all times are in spring 
painted richest shades of bronzy orange. As the growth 
matures the 3-inch leathery leaves turn to deep green and 
bronzy maroon. This perfect thicket of foliage if pruned 
to not over 4 ft. in height will lend a permanent rich finish to 
any spot that enjoys shade or filtered sunlight. Good drain- 
age, peat and moist conditions. Hardy except in very cold 
areas. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 75c.
