PITTOSPORUM UNDULATUM. Has more uses 
than we can list. Fine for screening effect as a 
large shrub, or often made into small tree as speci- 
men. Found in parkways, growing to about 15 feet, 
although can be shaped to almost any height. Long 
green wavy leaves, with fragrant blossoms in spring. 
Orange berries follow the creamy flowers. One of 
the most widely used shrubs for many purposes. 
PITTOSPORUM CRASSIFOLIUM. Grows in same 
habit as P. undulatum; but with greyish green leaves, 
and is one of the finest small trees or large shrubs 
for use near the coast. Also used for a mass of 
foliage in screening, or for a large hedge. 
LARGER SPECIMENS AT THE NURSERY 
PALE BLUE PLUMBAGO 
PLUMBAGO CAPENSIS. A hardy ornamental shrub, 
which can be kept rounded or allowed to climb a 
bit. Nice, small. foliage, and covered most of the 
year with light blue phlox-like flowers. Many uses. 
DOUBLE POINSETTIAS 
POINSETTIA HENRIETTA ECKE (Euphorbia pulcher- 
rima). No description is needed for this beautiful 
plant known everywhere in California. Given a sun- 
ny location, they bring a gorgeous red into the gar- 
den in winter. The variety we offer has so many 
bright red bracts as to appear almost double. Pruned 
heavily, almost to the ground, after blooming, they 
grow to four or five feet, and if allowed to grow 
unpruned, they reach eight and 10 feet. 
LOW-GROWING POLYGALA 
POLYGALA DALMAISIANA. An importation from 
Italy, and is one of the finest free-blooming small 
shrubs that we offer. Seldom grows over three feet, » 
and keeps a regular, globe-shaped head, covered with 
a dense growth of grayish-green foliage. Blooms almost 
the year around, but in the summer it is a mass 
of lovely tinted orchid-like flowers of a delicate purple. 
Likes full sun and is not too particular about regular 
waterings. 
J DWARF POMEGRANATE 
PUNICA CHICO. A fine little plant for low hedge 
work and for use in pots and tubs. Plants very dwarf, 
compact and bushy. Almost always covered with 
bright red blossoms and in late summer tiny fruits 
resembling the large fruiting Pomegranate. Tiny 
leaves, light green with a reddish tinge. They make a 
striking appearance wherever used. Usually grow to 
about two feet, although some will go to three. Can 
be trimmed in winter. In colder locations the little 
plants may lose their leaves for a very short time. 

Strawberry Guavas 

PSIDIUM CATTLEYANUM (Red Strawberry Guava.) 
Usually has a low, compact habit of growth, although 
some allow it to grow untrimmed into a small tree. 
Nice green foliage, with a reddish tint on young 
shoots, and the bright red fruits make this one of 
the finest of shrubs. 
PSIDIUM LUCIDUM (Yellow Strawberry Gueva). Quite 
similar in growth to the red variety, with the fruits 
firm and of nice yellow color. Very prolific bearer. 
PSIDIUM GUAJAVA (Lemon Gueva). A taller grow- 
ing variety, with a rougher-finished foliage, tinged 
with bronze. Produces the largest fruits, of a clear 
pale green-yellow. Rich in Vitamin C.
