TYPICAL FRENCH HYDRANGEA 
BIRD OF PARADISE 
Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae). The exotic Bird of Paradise 
from Africa is completely hardy in California. Makes a dense 
clump of long green leaves from which appear the long stems 
and heads of flowers looking for all the world like a gay tropical 
bird in orange and deep blue. Can be grown successfully in tubs 
or large pots or in the open ground. Gal., $1.50; 4-inch pots, 60c. 
HY DRANGEAS 
Hydrangea, French Hybrids. Lovely low shrubs, 3 to 4 feet high with 
large light green leaves and immense clusters of delicately col- 
ored flowers. Individual florets very large. 
Carmine Red. Choicest red. Gal., $1.00; from 21%4’’ pots 35c. 
PYRACANTHA 
BRILLIANT CHRISTMAS BERRIES 
Pyracantha Duvali (Pat. 346). The showiest and best of the Fire- 
thorns. Stems literally choked with clusters of large bright red 
berries. Foliage neat, deep green, narrow. White flowers early 
in the season are very much like drifts of snow and are followed 
by amazing crops of berries. Established plants are a sight to 
remember. 5-gal., $4.00; gal., $1.50. 
EASTER LILY VINE 
Easter Lily Vine (Beaumontia grandiflora). Large, rapidly-grow- 
ing vine with fragrant Easter Lily-like flowers in generous clusters. 
For sun or part shade, this vine is one of the most amazing we 
have. The large glossy green leaves could be considered ever- 
green only where there are no frosts. Generally light frosts are 
not serious. Gal., $1.25. 
EPIDENDRUM O’BRIENIANUM 
The easiest of all orchids for anybody to grow. They make large 
clumps in good soil and most of the summer are covered with clus- 
ters of bright red flowers. Flowers are long lasting and the straight 
stems can easily be cut. May be grown indoors in pots where the 
climate is colder. 2 plants for $1.50, postpaid. Can ship at any time. 

AGAPANTHUS UMBELLATUS 
BLUE LILY OF THE NILE 
Agapanthus umbellatus. On stout, yet graceful stalks this plant 
bears large umbels of lovely blue lily-like flowers in great pro- 
fusion during the summer months. The leaves are long and narrow 
in nice clumps. Agapanthus is delightful when planted in colonies 
of several bulbs in partially shaded places where the blue flowers 
show up well against a dark green background, and is most ef- 
fective if partial sunlight strikes the flowers. Shade is not nec- 
essary, it just prolongs the flowering season. Bulbs for shipping, 
45c each; 3 for $1.25, postpaid. Available all year. 
SHASTA DAISIES 
Shasta Daisy Esther Reed. The best of the Shasta Daisies. Fully 
double with an anemone or pompon center of small petals. White. 
Plant in full sun. Makes an excellent cut 
flower. 4 for $1.00, postpaid. 
Marconi. Large pure white, fluffy flowers. Fully 
double but showing a contrasting, small yel- 
low center when fully open. A delightful va- 
riation in the flower garden. Excellent for 
cutting. 4 for $1.00, postpaid. 
Mt. Shasta. An improved Esther Reed. Larger 
flowers on long stems for cutting. The outer 
petals are remarkably uniform in length. Crest 
in center as in the Esther Reed. 2 for $1.00, 
postpaid. 
Shasta Daisies can be shipp2d from Jan. to June. 
POINSETTIA GERANIUMS 
Red Poinsettia Geranium. A novelty that is really 
different. Although the individual flowers are 
small they make quite a show in the cluster 
when the plants are fully in bloom. Individual 
petals long and narrow, suggesting a Poin- 
settia, and the same bright red color. 50c 
each, 

Pink Poinsettia Geranium. Like the red listed 
above but flowers a lively pink. 50c each.
