EUCALYPTUS caesia (9%). Small tree; grows to only 12 or 15 ft. tall, bearing beau- 
tiful pink flowers. Pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
EUCALYPTUS grossa (9%). Makes a large shrub about 10 ft. tall with dark glossy- 
green leaves. The golden-yellow flowers are borne freely. In Australia called Phillips 
River Gum. Pot grown 2 to 3 ft. $1.25. 
EUCRYPHIA billardieri, TASMANIAN EUCRYPHIA (9%). We have an idea that the 
Eucryphias while at present practically unknown on the Pacific Coast will gradually 
become favorites as stock becomes available. We quote from “My Garden”: Eucryphias 
are among those supremely beautiful shrubs which no grower of the best can afford 
to overlook.” This one from Tasmania makes a tree. Leaves simple, long, and narrow. 
The white, almond scented flowers are two inches wide, saucer shaped, and filled with 
pink anthers. Blooms in late summer. Probably does not like limy soil and water. 
Pot grown 2 to 2% ft. $2.00. 
GREVILLEA sulphurea (G. juniperina), GOLDEN GREVILLEA (9). This small shrub 
has the usual peculiarly shaped owers of the Grevilleas, but unlike the others they are 
clear yellow, contrasting well with the dark green foliage. Our experience with it is 
too limited to say for sure, but we have an idea that it may prove to have a very long 
blooming season under California conditions. Pot grown 2 to 3 ft $1.00, 1 to 1% ft. 85c. 
HAKEA multilineata, GRASSLEAF HAKEA (9%). This easily surpasses the better 
known H. laurina. A tall vigorous shrub with long, very narrow leaves, bearing erect 
spikes of Grevillea-like flowers which are rose colored at base with beautiful creamy 
styles. Possibly hard to grow and none too hardy but well worth trying where not too 
cold. Pot grown 2 to 2% ft. $1.25. 
HYMENANTHERA crassifolia (7). One would hardly think that a shrub could belong 
to the Violet family but things are different in Australia where this pleasing shrub hails 
from. It has small leaves usually about % or % inch long. Habit spreading, semi- 
prostrate and does not get at all large. Flowers are entirely inconspicuous but the little 
white berries, sometimes veined blue, are quite otherwise. They are borne profusely at 
same time as those of Cotoneaster horizontalis so the two make a most attractive com- 
bination when planted together. Pot grown 8 to 10 in. 85c. 
*TLEX corallina femina, CORAL HOLLY (7). Many years ago we had a specimen of 
I. corallina which was handsome but proved to be a male so was discarded. Recently 
through the courtesy of one of our English friends we were able to import cions of the 
female form and now offer it for probably the first time in this country. It makes a 
closely branched shrub of conical outline instead of a tree. Leaves are deep lustrous 
green with wavy rather than prickly margins. It has not yet fruited with us but a good 
French authority says: “The small coral red fruits are borne in dense masses.” Native 
of Western China. Pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.50. 
ILEX cornuta femina, CHINESE HOLLY (Female) (7). As this was last mentioned 
in G. A. ’36 it seems time to say again that it will doubtless thrive in hotter and drier 
locations than will any other Holly. All our plants are grafted from one very fine speci- 
men bearing a heavy crop of large red berries which fortunately the birds don’t seem 
to like. Pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.00, 6 to 8 in. T5c. 
*TLEX cornuta burfordi, BURFORD HOLLY (7). Although this is commonly considered 
a variety of Chinese Holly it looks to us suspiciously like a hybrid although it is said 
that seedlings revert to I. cornuta. The somewhat drooping branches bear richly glossy 
leaves with smooth margins except for two or three horny spines at the end. It is no 
exaggeration to say that its berrying is gorgeous. The fruits are extremely profuse, 
large, bright red and borne on very long stems. We plead guilty of carelessness in not 
having started our propagation several years before we did! Pot grown 1 to 1% ft. 
$1.50, 8 to 12 in. $1.25. 
ILEX pernyi veitchi, VEITCH HOLLY (6). In G. A. ’38 we said of Ilex pernyi: ‘Small, 
rather slow growing and dainty in every way. Leaves very small and prickly. The 
female plants bear a profuse crop of bright red berries. We recommend it highly.” 
The variety has somewhat larger and glossier deep green leaves. Balled 3 to 4 ft. $4.00; 
pot grown 6 to 8 in. $1.00. 
ILEX sikkimensis, SIKKIM HOLLY (7). In G. A. ’42 we said: “This vigorous growing 
Holly from the Himalayan region makes a moderately tall tree having probably the best 
foliage of the genus. Leaves attain 6 or 7 inches in length with wavy prickly margins.
