PART I 
Conifers 
CHAMAECYPARIS lawsoniana ellwoodi, ELWOOD CYPRESS (5). When we introduced 
this recently we expected that it would quickly become popular and our expectations 
have been more than realized, so that this season we can supply only one size, balled 
plants 12 to 15 in. $3.00. They are small but perfectly formed and very beautiful. 
*CHAMAECYPARIS lawsoniana potteni (5). We imported this from England before 
the war. It is characterized by sage green, very fine (not coarse) foliage, that is, the 
leaf fronds are small giving it a graceful effect with a regular, symmetrical, conical 
outline. Growth is moderate so it should not get too large for gardens of ordinary size. 
Pot grown 1% to 2 ft. $1.50. 
In G. A. ’44 (copies still available on request) we gave a good list of dwarf coni- 
fers suitable for rock gardens, pot culture, etc. Such of these as are available this sea- 
son will be found in Part II. 
Broad Leaved Evergreens 
*AUCUBA japonica salicifolia (7). We imported this from England 6 or 7 years ago, 
and, although it has been greatly admired by visitors, we have been compelled to keep 
all our production to date as a source of supply for cuttings. Leaves are clear deep 
green, long and narrow. Its great glory lies in its astonishing production of large 
glossy brilliant red berries in great clusters of as many as 50 or more. It commences 
to bear when only a few inches tall. Like all female Aucubas, it needs a pollen bearing 
plant not too far away. Pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $2.00, 6 to 8 in. $1.50. 
CALODENDRON capense, CAPE CHESTNUT (9%). Considered one of the most beau- 
tiful trees of South Africa. The large rosy-lilac flowers are borne in large terminal clus- 
ters. A very beautiful tree indeed, but will not stand much cold. Pot grown 1% to 
2 ft. $1.00. 
CEANOTHUS impressus, SANTA BARBARA WILD LILAC (9). This fine new species 
grows only about 4 or 5 feet tall and usually wider than high. Leaves small and rough. 
Flowers very deep blue in small clusters in extreme profusion in late winter and spring. 
Pot grown 8 to 12 in. 75c. 
*CISTUS hyb. Doris Hibberson (7). Although Silver Pink has beautiful flowers it also 
has such a weak constitution that few can succeed with it. This has almost identical 
flowers, clear pink with a very light zone in center. Further, it is healthy and vigorous 
and will probably become popular. Pot grown 4 to 6 in. 75c. 
CRINODENDRON dependens, WHITE LILYTREE (9). An excellent small tree of 
quick growth when young with good habit and foliage, bearing hanging white bell shaped 
flowers. Does not at all require acid soil and is not “cranky” like the red flowering C. 
patagua. We find that it stays in bloom for several months during summer and regard 
it as among the best of the newer evergreen trees. It seems to us that this should find 
find wide use in the S. F.. Bay region not only in garden but as a good street tree where 
an evergreen is wanted. Gal. can 5 to 6 ft. $2.50, 4 to 5 ft. $2.00; pot grown 3 to 4 ft. $1.25. 
*DAPHNE collina (D. sericea) (7). This is a charming little plant of slow growth 
which in many years might attain 3 ft. Fortunately it blooms when very young bearing 
clusters of clove-scented flowers in clusters of 10 or so. Color is variously described; 
probably rosy mauve is as close as any. A fine rock garden plant. Rare. A. M. R. H. S. 
Pot grown 6 to 8in.$3.50. 
DAPHNE collina neapolitana (7). Small rounded shrub of slow growth but not really 
dwarf. Leaves fairly small. The fragrant flowers come in clusters of about five all 
over the bush and are rosy pink suffused lavender. Supposed to bloom in fall and spring 
but here it often shows up well during the winter and in fact is in flower off and on for 
a good deal of the time. Balled 8 to 10 in. $3.50; pot grown 4 to 6 in. $2.00. 
DAPHNE Somerset (5). Plant Patent 315. Sold for this season.
