WINTER COLOR 
In California Gardens 
California gardens in winter can be as richly colorful as in summer, by the use 
of some of these unique and beautiful winter flowering shrubs. Because of their 
blooming season and exceptionally fine flowers, they will be appreciated by 
all who want unusual and showy plants in the garden. 
MIST FLOWER BUSH 
EUPATORIUM SPECIES. From Central America comes this delightful garden sub- 
ject, that bears fluffy flower heads of lavender blue, resembling Ageratum. This new 
variety, however, grows into a rounded bush, blooming in November and December. 
The gorgeous flower clusters are produced on long stems, and are grand for winter 
cut flowers. Florists will find that this plant should produce cut flowers at a time 
when they are most in demand. They lend themselves to delightful arrangements. 
Pot Plants, each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

three-inch flowers. 1-gallon cans, each 85c.

continuously for as long as seven months in our garden, and the flowers make 
unique decorations. 5-gallon cans, each $4.00.
