MATILIJA POPPY 
Big crepe paper-like flowers of crisp white. 
Romneya coulteri. 
MATILIJA POPPY 
Romneya coulteri. They are sometimes a little difficult 
to get started but once established they thrive with practically 
no attention. In spring and early summer each silvery foli- 
aged stalk is crowned with one or more huge white golden- 
centered blooms that have the appearance of having been 
cut from crepe paper. Fragrant. Hardy. Sun. 6-7 ft. Gal. 
containers, $1.25. 
SALMON BEAUTY 
Rondeletia cordata. We know you will enjoy this friendly 
visitor from Mexico. Along in April each sturdy branch tip 
is crowned with big heads of intriguing reddish-salmon tubu- 
lar flowers, sometimes as many as two hundred in a single 
cluster. The flowers remain beautifully displayed for quite 
a time. Large bright green leaves, heavily veined. Sun. 4-6 
ft. Hardy except in coldest spots. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; 
gal. containers, $1.00. 
FRAGRANT SARCOCOCCA 
Sarcococca ruscifolia. We have this neat little shrub in 
our patio garden and find it a joy from one year’s end to 
the other. Waxy deep green leaves, 1 to 1% inches in length, 
are strung thickly on sturdy stems. In filtered sunlight or 
heavy shade it will, with a little pruning, form a dense glossy 
mound to 2 or 2% ft. A marvelous background for begonias, 
primroses or small ferns. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; 
gal. containers, 85c. 
A number of intriguing evergreen shrubs described in these 
pages possess a most delightful perfume. For instance, 
Choisya, Daphne, Jasmine Maid of Orleans, Michelia, Os- 
manthus, Viburnum burkwoodi. You'll find them listed in 
the index, 
AUSTRALIAN BLUE BELL 
Sollya heterophylla. One of those versatile plants that may 
be grown as either shrub or vine. Used as a shrub it will form 
a full leafy mound to 3 feet and be covered in early summer 
with graceful racemes of dainty nodding blue bells. If given 
the support of fence or trellis it will develop into a handsome 
evergreen vine. Hardy. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. 
containers, 85c. 
EXOTIC BIRD OF PARADISE 
Strelitzia reginae. Extravagantly hued flowers of dazzling 
blue, orange and gold that resemble the crested head of a 
tropical bird. Bloom in spring and early summer and some- 
times in fall, also. Easily grown in any sunny spot. Appre- 
ciate moisture and plenty of manure. Hardy except in coldest 
spots. 6-gal. containers, $12.50; 5-gal. containers, $5.00; gal.

COLUMBINE SHRUB

Paraguay that bears long spurred ,Columbine-like flowers of 
creamy yellow marked with red and orange. Dense spread- 
ing habit. Quite unusual. Sun . Hardy. 3 ft. 5-gal. contain- 
ers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
BRONZY TERNSTROEMIA 
Ternstroemia gymnanthera. If pruned and kept under 4 
feet we don’t believe there is any shrub that will give more 
satisfaction over a period of years than this variety. The 
plant is heavily clothed with substantial 2- to 3-inch leathery 
leaves of smooth rich finish. The new growth appears painted 
a glowing bronze and orange which changes to bronzy- 
maroon as the leaves mature. Enjoys sun or light shade.

containers, $1.00.
