CAMELIA japonica, (7). We have assembled a limited collection of the very finest 
known varieties which we shall be able to offer as rapidly as number propagated will 
justify. We do not intend to offer or grow a long collection of common kinds. Most 
of our stock for this season is already sold but we have a few varieties available: 
Clarke Red. Our old specimen, planted about 1872, is one of the most widely 
known trees in California. We say “trees” advisedly as it measures 15% ft. 
tall and 19 ft. through the densely leaved head. Trunk is 43 inches around, 
i.e., about 14.3 inches diameter. It bears about 6000 to 7000 blossoms a year 
and has never failed in the 29 years that we have owned it. Flowers are of 
medium size and formed as symmetrically as Pink Perfection. Color is really 
that shade of deep rose commonly called red. Original name is unknown; other 
nurserymen started calling it “Clarke Red” so we “followed suit..”” Comes into 
bloom about February and continues for about six weeks. Plants with few or 
no buds, balled 3 to 4 ft. $8.50, 2% to 3 ft. $7.00. 
*Kumasaka. Everyone is entitled to their own taste but in the writer’s opinion 
this is the finest of all because it not only bears large double, well formed, rose- 
colored flowers on a symmetrical shapely bush but in addition to that has health 
and vigor, excellent foliage and exceptional productivity . Plants with flower 
buds, balled 2% to 3 ft. $17.50, 2 to 2% ft. $15.00. 
*Lady Campbell. Bush is low and densely branched aiding it in producing so 
freely. Foliage first class. Flowers are rosy red, not large but just right for 
buttonhole or corsage. Plants with flower buds, balled 1% to 2 ft. $6.00; with- 
out buds 2 to 2% ft. $6.00. 
*Magnoliaflora. A very rare and highly esteemed variety with deep green leaves 
on a well formed bush. Flowers are of medium size and semi-double with a 
charming light pink color practically unique in Camellias, Balled plants with 
flower buds 4 to 5 ft. $50.00, 3 to 4 ft. $35.00, 2% to 3 ft. $30.00. 
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, appear in extreme profusion during late win- 
ter and spring. Easily one of the best. Pot grown 10 to 15 in. $1.00. 
CORREA magnifica (C. ferruginea), YELLOW AUSTRALIAN FUCHSIA (8-9). A vig- 
orous, erect grower making a fine shrub of good size. Flowers are pendent and prob- 
ably the largest in the genus. Color is a solid chartreuse green (greenish yellow). 
There are some excellent specimens in the Arboretum of Golden Gate Park. Balled 15 
to 18 in. $3.00; pot grown 6 to 10 in. $1.00. 
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 or light purple. Supposed to bloom 
in fall and spring but here it sometimes shows up well during the winter and in fact 
is likely to flower off and on a good deal of the time. Balled 15 to 18 in. wide $7.50, 
12 to 15 in. wide $6.00. 
*ESCALLONIA (viscosa) C. F. Ball (7). The Irish originator claimed that this variety 
had the largest flowers and the brightest red color in the genus. Our tests confirm this 
are far as our experience goes. Bush is fast growing and rather loose; probably gets 
fairly large. We have been growing it for several seasons but wholesale demand has 
been absorbing our entire production. Balled 3 to 4 ft. $5.00; pot grown 6 to 12 in. 75c. 
EUCRYPHIA bDillardieri, TASMANIAN EUCRYPHIA (9%). We feel that the Eucry- 
phias 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 large shrub or small 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 1% to 2 ft. $1.50; 1 to 1% ft. $1.25. 
*EURYOPS pectinatus (9). A highly unusual shrub of compact rounded habit with 
deeply cut silvery leaves. The daisy-like flowers, borne profusely in late winter and 
spring, are bright yellow, about 1% inches wide, and borne on long stems. Plant does 
not get large and is apparently very well adapted to sunny spots in gardens of medium 
size. Pot grown about 4 to 6 in, 75c.
