Rosedale's Evergreen Flowering Shrubs 
By far the largest group of ornamentals for Southern California, the Evergreen flowering group 
are aso among the most popular. By retaining their foliage the year around, they add greatly to 
the home planting—as pleasing in winter as in summer. The flowers and also the fruits of some, 
are extreme!y showy. One can always find some variety in bloom. 
Out of this great assortment of shrubs, we at Rosedale’s have selected the best for gen- 
eral planting. When making selections, care should be taken to consider the ultimate height of 
the shrub, and preferred exposure, as for sun or shade. The most.common mistake among home 
planters is to set a tall-growing plant in front of a window, which in a few years is obscured by a 
tangle of branches. 
By the same token, very gratifying results may be had by planting quick-growing plants like 
Hib:scus, Abutilon, Privets and similar shrubs, but one must be ready to rep'ace them at a later 
date before they get leggy and impossible to handle. 
We have indicated in the descriptions the height and exposure best for each item. When no 
culture is given it is assumed the plants will do well in sun or light shade under average garden 
ccnditions.

Brunfelsia floribunda. Sweetly scented flowers, open- 
ing a lovely shade of lavender—prettier indeed than 
our picture which is the best our printers can do with 
the color—fading to white. The in-between shade is 
slightly pinkish and suggests the name since all stag2s 
of flowers appear at the same time. This is one of the 
best shrubs for foundation planting. Generally not over 
4 or 5 feet, although it will get twice as large. Deep 
green closely placed leaves and choice flowers make a 
pretty and showy sight in spring. Sun or shade. Gal. 
95¢, 5-gal. $3.85. 
Boxwood 
Buxus japonica. The common boxwood for hedge 
planting also makes neat rounded shrubs in the plant- 
ing around th2 house and garden. Stands merciless 
shearing, always quickly recovering. Full sun—rather 
rank growing in shade. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85.

BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA (Yesterday and Today) 

ABUTILON SPECIOSUM 
Abutilon hybrids. One of the quickest growing of all shrubs, 
Abutilon will make a neat, flower-covered plant of good foliage 
and habit for several years before it gets overgrown and leggy. 
Leaves are like maple and flowers of all are shaped like those in 
our illustration but in the following colors: Yellow, Red and 
Pink. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85; Orange (speciosa) and New Scar- 
let. Gal. 85c; 5-gal. $3.50. 
Glossy Abelta 
Abelia Edward Goucher. A new and improved Abelia. Very 
much like Abelia schumanni with pink short tubular flowers but 
a better bloomer and with a longer season. Neat and refined, 
useful in many plantings calling for a medium height shrub. 
Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.50. 
Abelia grandiflora. A first class shrub growing to about 6 or 8 
feet in height with arching branches covered with small, pointed, 
glossy green leaves. The leaves and flower bracts are red when 
new, making a lovely contrast with the older leaves and pearly 
white flowers in early summer. Hardy all along the west coast 
and in sheltered places inland where winters are not too severe. 
Sun or light shade. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85.
