Flowering Shrubs 
We, in Southern California, are particularly fortunate in having such a wide assortment of colorful 
evergreen shrubs from which to make our selections. Listed here you will find flowering shrubs for every 
location and condition, tall background shrubs, smaller plants to fit under windows and still lower shrubs 
for planting along low porches or to tuck away in limited spaces. There are hardy shrubs for cold areas 
as well as plants for warmer locations, shrubs that will give you years of colorful service. 
Following description of each variety you will find notes as to approximate heights plants will grow 
and location for planting. The word “hardy” signifies the plant is hardy as far as frost is concerned under 
usual Southern California conditions. 
WINGED ABELIA 
Abelia zanderi Goucher. Rosy pink bell-shaped flowers 
backed by bronzy wings are borne in heavy terminal clusters 
through summer. The polished, deep green foliage presents 
an unusually attractive appearance through the year. Not 
particular as to soil and easily grown. Hardy. Sun or part 
shade. 4 ft., 5-eal, containers, $2:75; gal: containers, 85c. 
BRONZY ABELIA 
Abelia grandiflora. Provides plentifully in early summer, 
and in cool years all summer, small white bells that are prized 
for use in flower arrangements. The shrub grows quite 
dense with a little pruning and forms an attractive mound of 
glistening bronzy green. Hardy in any weather. Sun or 
shade. 5 feet. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 75c. 
LILLIPILLI TREE 
Acmena (Eugenia) smithi. Tall upright shi ub with plenty 
of small bright leathery leaves, white flowers and big clusters 
of interesting lavender berries. The leaves when crushed 
diffuse a Guava-like fragrance. Hardy. Sun. 10-12 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 85c. 
CANARY ISLAND LUPINE 
Adenocarpus foliolosus. Happy pea-shaped flowers of rich 
sunflower yellow that put on a great show in late spring and 
early summer. The shrub grows rapidly, lining its long 
branches with soft dark foliage. Plant it in a sunny location. 
Requires little water. Hardy. 8-10 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; 
gal. containers, 85c. 
STRAWBERRY MADRONE 
Arbutus unedo. A thoroughly interesting plant throughout 
the year. In early spring drooping terminal racemes of dainty 
white lanterns, and, in late summer continuing through win- 
ter, great quantities of big red strawberry-like fruits provide 
a magnificent display. They’re good to eat, too. The clean 
dark leaves resemble the California Holly and maintain their 
fresh appearance the year through. Hardy. Sun or shade. 
6-10 ft. Balled, 4-5 ft., $8.00; 3-4 ft., $6.00; 2-3 ft., $3.00; 5- 
gal. containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 75c.
