HIBISCUS 
Hibiscus. No shrub is more typical of California than this glorious 
almost everblooming shrub. Hibiscus get to be a good size but 
can be cut back safely if pruning is done just as new growth

varieties are better inland. The lush evergreen foliage is always 
attractive. Shipping dates, earliest, March 1 through summer

EPIPHYLLUMS 
Orchid Cacti. One of the finest flowering plants for semi-shaded 
or fully shaded places. They are particularly fine when placed 
in containers suitable for hanging on the trunks of trees or against 
walls, such as wire baskets. 
Plant in a well drained soil compounded of sand, garden soil 
and leafmold in about equal proportions. Top dress in early spring 
with manure and later on about a month after the blooming sea- 
son using any good commercial fertilizer. Although the soil 
should be moderately moist at all times the drainage should be 
quick and thorough. Epiphyllums are not desert cacti.
