ILEX CORNUTA BURFORDI 
HOLLY 
Ilex cornuta, Chinese Holly. This is the best holly for 
southern California. The deep glossy leaves are like those 
of our popular Christmas decorations, but have fewer 
spines. Its habit of berrying is well established in our 
climate. Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.50. 
Ilex cornuta burfordi. A new improvement for mild cli- 
mates. Leaves still less spiny and berry clusters larger 
and brighter colored than the Chinese Holly. Gal. $1.25, 
5-gal. $3.85. 
Sweet Spire 
Itea ilicifolia. For shady or sunny places there are few 
shrubs to equal Itea as an ornamental. Its chief attrac- 
tion is the holly-like leaves in a deep green, closely 
spaced, long and blunt. The fragrant flowers are long 
graceful catkins. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85. 


Rosedale’s Select Shrubs for Better Home Plantings 
Double Dwarf Ti-plant 
Leptospermum scoparium flore-pleno. Dwarf and free blooming, 
this is one of the best low growing introduction in recent years. 
Blooms several times a year, chiefly on new growths. The leaves are 
short, needle-shaped; flowers like little double pink roses. Plant in 
a well-drained soil, in a sunny exposure. Gal. 95c, 5-gal. $3.85. 
LANTANAS 
Lantana camara hybrids. With Poinsettias and Palms, Lantanas are 
part of the California landscape. Lantanas are essentially shrubs for 
quick effects, but can be pruned back to the ground each season. 
Train them on walls, or allow to make large mounds on the ground. 
Foliage is good and they are always in bloom. 
Dwarf Lantanas. Grow 2 to 3 feet high. 
Cream. Pink. Yellow. Radiation. 
Tall Lantanas. 5 to 10 feet, if trained against walls; or 3 to 4 feet 
high if wide-spreading. Silver Pink. White. 
Any of above, gal. 65c. 
Lantana sellowiana. Very popular as a ground cover for which it is 
particularly fine. It makes a dense cover a foot high, withstands 
some walking over, but this should be avoided. Shows a mass of 
lavender bloom for a long time each summer. Sun. Gal. 65c.

Rosedale’s Camellia-Leaved 
Ligustrum 
Ligustrum Texanum 
Camellia-Leaved Ligustrum. The beautiful 
Rosedale’s 
glossy Camellia-like leaves and graceful arching stems make 
this one of the best evergreen shrubs we offer. In spring 
the rich creamy white lilac-like clusters of flowers are de- 
Hardy in either full sun or shade. 5 to 
Gal 75c, 
lightfully fragrant. 
10 feet. The best shrub for landscape planting. 
5-gal. $2.85. 
Lemon Verbena 
Lippia citriodora. This large-growing irregular shrub has long 
been popular as an herb, a fragrant foliage plant because the foli- 
age has a lemon scent when crushed. An old fashioned shrub, best 
used as a filler in plantings for temporary show, but with careful 
pruning will keep in good condition for many years. Gal. 70c, 
5-gal. $2.85. 
Holly Grape 
Mahonia compacta. Low growing shrub with many branches closely 
covered with neat, glossy holly-like leaves. A good green in sum- 
mer, slightly bronzy in cool weather. Yellow flowers and blue berries 
are added attractions. Grows 3 to 4 feet high, making a superb 
specimen shrub. Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.50. 


8 ROSEDALE’S NURSERIES 
Banana Shrub 
Michelia fuscata. Not a banana, but a dwarf intriguing 
relative of the Magnolias. Oval, 4-inch pointed leaves of 
medium green, conceal the dainty creamy-white flowers 
with their chocolate or maroon markings but release their 
delicious, fragrance of ripe bananas. Slow growing, gen- 
erally not over 4 or 5 feet. Gal. $1.25, 5-gal. $4.85. 
African Box 
Myrsine africana. One of the few substitutes for boxwood, 
and in many ways it is much superior to Box as a hedge. 
The tiny deep green bronzy leaves and reddish stems give 
the plant more color. The texture is soft and pleasing. 
Full sun only adds to the color. It will stand shearing 
well. Gal. 95c, 5-gal. $3.30. 
Orange Jessamine 
Murrea paniculata. An attractive large specimen shrub 
with excellent glossy green foliage and pure white flowers 
with the fragrance of orange blossoms, followed by bright 
red fruits. We offer the compact form which is slow grow- 
ing, reaching a height of 6 or 8 feet in time. Gal. 95e, 
5-gal. $3.85.
