YELLOW FLAX 
REINWARDTIA TRIGYNA (Indica). A brilliant showy 
plant of yellow fowers, especially bright in winter. 
Two-inch flowers are bell shaped and bloom in pro- 
fusion. 
LAVENDER RUELLIA 
RUELLIA MACRANTHA. Almost ever-blooming, with 
freely produced dark lavender funnel-shaped flowers 
throughout most of the year. Very showy, but wants a 
partially shady or sheltered position. Three to four feet. 
PINK LACE VINE (Evergreen Wisteria) 
Securidaca Volubilis. One of the newest 
subjects offered. Can be trained as a nice 
vine, or left to grow as a shrub similar to 
Plumbago. A beautiful sight with semi- 
scandent evergreen foliage, young growth 
showing a delicate amber tint. In winter, 
spring and early summer the plant is glow- 
ing with racemes of bright violet pea-shaped 
flowers. Likes plenty of sun or half shade, 
but do not grow near a south wall. Give lots 
of water in summer months. Hardy to 25 
degrees. 
SARCOCOCCA FOR SHADY PLACES 
SARCOCOCCA RUSCIFOLIA. Another fine foliage 
shrub for a shady nook. The plant grows to four feet, 
and is attractive with dark green shiny rounded leaves. 
Its beauty is enhanced by dark scarlet berries which 
make it a nice specimen. Not particular as to soi’ 
and will grow where many other shrubs find it against 
their liking. 
BLUE FLOWERS FOR THE COAST 
SOLANUM RANTONETTI. Blue-flowering shrubs are 
not plentiful, and this one will fill the order for the 
rich blue color it will bring into the garden. And too, 
it will stand all the hazards of the coast, as well as 
doing well further inland. Neat, clean green foliage, 
with the blue flowers, centered with yellow, make this 
a well-recommended shrub. 
AUSTRALIAN BLUEBELL 
SOLLYA HETEROPHYLLA. A partly climbing shrub, 
very useful for banks, tree stumps or fences. Brilliant 
blue bell-shaped flowers, make it a thing of beauty. 
Only a foot or so tall, twining stems. 
FOR ORANGE COLOR 
STREPTOSOLEN JAMESONI. Few plants are as color- 
ful throughout most of the year as this one, with 
gorgeous orange-red blooms against neat, dark green 
foliage. Half climber, but makes a nice mound about 
three feet high. Stands down to 28 degrees. This will 
certainly please in any garden. Does well on the sea 
coast. Full sun, good drainage and lots of water.

EXOTIC BIRD OF PARADISE 
Strelitzia reginae. The unusual blooms of 
this exotic plant never cease to brine wonder 
and admiration. Prized highly for go~den 
planting or for use in the patio in tubs or 
pots. The leaves, which resemble the banana 
tree, give a tropical effect, aiid the flowers 
in bright orange and blue stand high above 
the foliage. They resemble the crested head 
of a tropical bird, and are valued highly 
in the garden. Foliage reaches from two to 
four feet, with the long flower spikes com- 
ing from the base of the plant, and stand- 
ing almost a foot above the rest of the 
plant. 
It takes four to five years for a plant to 
come into bloom, and from then on they 
increase in size and quatity of flowers each 
year. The novel flowers can be used for 
striking arrangements in the home, or will 
give a gorgeous display in the garden. 
Strelitzia nicholi. Characteristics similar to 
S. reginae variety, but grows to 15 feet, with 
leaves resembling those of huge banana 
trees. Flowers rise above foliage, brilliantly 
hued in blue and white. A rare specimen, 
seldom listed in catalogs.
