A ROYAL PRINCESS 
Tibouchina semidecandra grandiflora. Princess Flower. A 
well rounded 4-ft. shrub clothed with bronzy red and green 
foliage that reminds one of the softest velvet. Along in June 
huge red buds appear in profusion, in July they open in a 
burst of glorious 4-inch single flowers of exquisite royal 
purple. The flowers continue into winter and, if the winter 
is warm, they will continue into spring. What other shrub 
can match this winter performance? Give it sun or part 
shade. Sometimes gets frosted but generally grows up again 
quickly. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 65c. 
STAR BUSH 
Turraea obtusifolia. A new and good friend from South 
Africa of cheerful bushy disposition that covers itself in 
late summer and fall with frosty white flowers enough like 
single gardenias to be their twin sisters. Should be planted 
in sun or light shade. Half hardy. 3 ft. 5-gal. containers, 
Eee eee dllcomtainens,a70C: 
SWEET VIBURNUM 
Viburnum Burkwoodii. A comparatively new cross be- 
tween the popular Viburnum Carlesii and Viburnum utile 
that holds its glossy foliage, in our mild climate, through 
winter. In spring its huge clusters of white blooms diffuse 
the pungent fragrance of Gardenias. Full sun or part shade. 
Hardy. 4 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Viburnum japonicum. For mass planting or grown as a 
specimen in shaded areas this handsome shrub with its thick 
mass of light green leathery leaves will form an excellent 
background for begonias, primroses, cyclamen or other 
shade-loving flowering plants. 6-7 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
Viburnum suspensum. For years one of our most popular 
shrubs. “If in doubt, plant suspensum” seems to have been 
the rule—a pretty good rule, too, for the dark glossy leaved 
shrub will thrive in either sun or shade and is not affected 
by cold. It is equally useful for heavy background planting 
or for informal hedges as the plants are well-foliaged to the 
ground and always thick and bushy with a little pruning. 
Racemes of inconspicuous white flowers with the rich fra- 
grance of orange blossoms appear in mid-winter. Hardy. 
Balled, bushy, 3-3% ft., $4.50; 2-3 ft., $3.25; 114-2 ft., $2.00; 
5-gal, containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 50c. 

STARBUSH (Turraea Obtusifolia) 
Viburnum Tinus lucidum, Improved Laurustinus. Through 
searing heat and freezing cold, in sun or shade, from New 
Year’s day until Christmas this dark heavy foliaged shrub 
keeps its cool neat appearance. During winter the plant is 
positively smothered with thick heads of frosty white flow- 
ers. Use them for massed planting, for screens, as individual 
specimen plants or trim them into hedges—they are equally 
good for any of these uses. Balled, bushy, 3-4 ft., $3.50; 2-3 
ft., $2.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 65c. 
Xylosma senticosum. As an espalier where no color but 
green is desired this plant has no equal. Its thin pliant 
branches are easily trained in any desired form. The glisten- 
ing 1%-in, leaves remain on the plant through all seasons. 
Grown as a shrub it will form a compact mound of deep 
green beauty. Not affected by extremes of temperature. Sun. 
4-6 ft. Balled, bushy, 3-4 ft., $4.50; 2-3 ft., $2.75; 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.00; gal. containers, 65c. 
TUTTLE BROS. COLORFUL VINES 
Use clinging vines to soften the harsh expanse of broad walls. Fast growing vines will provide shade 
for your arbor and a colorful cover for fences and banks. In our equable climate we may grow the hardy 
deciduous vines of the east as well as the flaming vines from the tropics. 
BOSTON IVY 
Ampelopsis Veitchii. Through summer this deciduous 
vine provides a thick cover of light green that in autumn 
assumes brilliant shades of red, scarlet and crimson. In 
winter the thin creeping branches form unique and artistic 
patterns against walls. Clings to any rough surface unaided. 
Sun or shad.e Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. contain- 
ers, 75. 
EASTER LILY VINE 
Beaumontia grandiflora. Easter Lilies on a vine! Sounds 
like a wild dream but it’s a fact that this rapid growing 
“vine with the enormous leaves actually bears white delight- 
fully fragrant flowers that look almost exactly like Easter 
Lilies. It’s a grand vine for a large trellis or pergola or 
any location where a large vine is desirable. Sun or part 
shade. Should be planted where there is little frost. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.50; gal. containers, $1.00.
