DAUBENTONIA tripetti, SCARLET WISTERIA TREE (8%). It is doubtful whether 
any other shrub grown in this climate can surpass this for brilliant (orange red) color- 
ing and profusion of pea-shaped flowers. It will bloom all summer long if seed pods 
are removed as fast as they form. Should be pruned heavily every year before growth 
starts. Too bad it isn’t hardier so that it could be more widely enjoyed. Gallon cans. 
3 to 4 ft. $1.50, 2% to 3 ft. $1.25; pot grown 3 to 4 ft. $1.00, 2 to 2% ft. 75c. (Orders to 
be shipped should be for the pot grown plants.) 
*DIPELTA floribunda, ROSY DIPELTA (5). In spring 1938 the writer saw this in full 
bloom in France and his notes say that it was “gorgeous.” We have had it for several 
years but find propagation very difficult particularly with no specimen plant of good 
size to work from. It is related to Kolkwitzia (Beautybush) but has much larger, pinker 
flowers. All authorities give it very high rank so it must be good. Probably makes a 
fairly large shrub, say up to 10 or 12 ft.. Pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.50. 
PHILADLPHUS, MOCKORANGE. Although widely known as Syringa it is best to 
drop that name to avoid confusion with the Lilac (botanically Syringa). As a group 
they are so well known as to need no description but one familiar with only the older 
types can have little idea of the improvement that has been made, mainly due to the 
work of the famous French hybridizer Lemoine. ; 
Belle Etoile (5). We consider this the best of those having a purple “eye.” 
The flowers are fairly large and deliciously fragrant. Petals are prettily frilled 
at the edges. Pure white except for the colored center. Growth bushy. To us 
it.seems the finest of all to date. 4 to 5 ft. $2.50, 3 to 4 ft. $1.75, 2 to 3 ft. $1.50. 
*Coupe d’Argent (5). Single, pure white, cup-shaped flowers almost as large as 
Atlas, up to 2% inches wide. 1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
*Favorite (5). Comes later than most others. Some claim it has the largest 
flowers of all. With us they are large and strongly cupped. 1% to 2 ft. $1.00. 
*Innocence (5). The intensely fragrant snow-white flowers are not large but 
are borne in the utmost profusion on the long arching branches. 1% to 2 ft. $1.00. 
*POINCIANA gilliesi, PARADISE POINCIANA (8). An old, time-honored favorite in 
California. While its appearance is tropical it is hardier than it looks. Foliage bi- 
pinnate; flowers large, yellow, with highly conspicuous red stamens. 4 to 5 ft. $2.00. 
PUNICA granatum, POMEGRANATE (7). The ornamental varieties have brilliant 
flowers and also yield a crop of attractive fruit which can be used for the same pur- 
poses as the usual kinds. 
Double Orange. Large orange red, very double flowers. 4 to 5 ft. $2.00, 3 to 
4 ft. $1.50. 
*Double Scarlet. Older and better known with somewhat redder flowers. 1% to 
2 ft. $1.25, 1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
*Dwarf (P. g. nana). A well liked old favorite, excellent where a very small 
ornamental shrub is need. Bears single bright red flowers practically all sum- 
mer and bears plenty of fruit. 12 to 15 in. $1.50, 10 to 12 in. $1.25. 
Dwarf Double Red. This is very new and remarkably fine. Habit about same 
as the older form but with deeper red, fully double carnation-like flowers, Is 
also a free bloomer over a very long season. We regard it highly. 10 to 15 in. 
balled $2.50, bare roots $2.00. 
VIBURNUM. As readers of previous volumes know, we have been calling particular 
attention to the little known and very fine new Oriental forms. Response has been so 
good that we are sold out for this season on the majority but still have the following 
at time of going to press: 
V. betulifolium, BIRCHLEAF VIBURNUM (5). A large shrub of erect rapid 
growth; its blue-gray branches are decked with glossy birch-like leaves. The 
white flowers are of no particular consequence but are followed by great masses 
of red berries in large clusters. Pot grown 2 to 3 ft. $1.00. 
V. grandiflorum (7). English authorities seem to consider this even finer than 
the delightful V. frangrans which it slightly resembles but has larger and 
pinker flowers which are produced in late winter and will stand considerable 
freezing without injury. Extremely rare as yet in this country. Pot grown 
6 to 8 in. $1.50. 
V. ichangense (6). When only a foot or two tall this small shrub commences 
to bear many clusters of white flowers followed by small glistening red berries 
when oes A very delightful plant which should become well liked. 1% 
oO . $2.00.
