CAMELLIA japonica (7). As stated in G. A. ’46, we do not intend to propagate a long 
list of ordinary varieties so have assembled a collection of only the very finest. Most of 
these are not yet in sufficient production to justify offering, but if we continue to issue 
G.A. we will describe them fully from time to time as they become available. We have 
reasonable numbers at present of the following varieties: 
Alba Plena. This is a very old variety that will probably remain a great 
favorite for many decades to come. The fairly large, fully double, pure white 
flowers have an unequaled symmetry and regularity of form. Balled, 3 to 4 
Qi BUPZAAOOS Pees 4M0) Si sis, SOO 
Kumasaka. Everyone is entitled to their own taste but in the writer’s opinion 
this is the finest of all because it not only bears large double, well formed, 
rose-colored flowers on a symmetrical shapely bush but in addition to that has 
health and vigor, excellent foliage and exceptional productivity. Balled, with 
‘flower buds, 2% to 3 ft., $17.50; 2 to 2% ft., $12.50; balled, without fiower buds, 
24% to 3 it., $12.50; 2. to 2% it.,$10.00 
Magnoliaflora. A very rare and highly esteemed variety with deep green leaves 
on a well formed bush. Flowers are of medium size and semi-double with a 
charming light pink color practically unique in Camellias. This may not 
strongly appeal to those who prefer bold, splashing reds, but anyone with a 
fondness for more subdued pastel tints will find its delicacy and exquisite 
coloring utterly charming. Balled, with flower buds, 2 to 3 ft., $25.00; 1% to 
2 ft., $20.00. 
*Pink Ball. Well named as it is a pure soft pink, a color very rare indeed in 
Camellias. Flower is as high as wide and peoniform. Many varieties are alto- 
gether too much alike, but this one is entirely distinct. Balled, without flower 
buds; 3 to 4 {t., $12.00; 1% to 2 ft., 56.00! 
*Warratah. A very dark red full flower of medium size. It is a remarkably 
free producer, rather late and blooms over such a long period that it is still in 
flower after practically all others have stopped. Balled, with flower buds, 1% 
to 2 ft., $5.00: 
CEANOTHUS impressus, SANTA BARBARA WILD LILAC (9). This fine compara- 
tively new species grows only about 4 or 5 feet tall and usually wider than high. Leaves, 
small and rough. Flowers, very deep blue in small clusters, appear in extreme profu- 
sion during late winter and spring. Easily one of the best. Pot grown, about 10 in., $1.00. 
CITRUS limon meyeri, MEYER LEMON (8-9). “Useful as well as ornamental.’ Makes 
a good rounded shrub, not a tree. Flowers and fruits freely even when very young. 
Lemons are deep yellow and of good quality. Balled, 1 to 1% ft. wide, $3.75; pot grown, 
8 to 12 in., $1.00. 
CORREA ventricosa (9). This rare and striking Correa has probably not been described 
before in this country except in G.A. ’42. Growth is rather vigorous and habit open. 
The tubular flowers, about 1% inches long, are carmine red except for about: % inch 
at tip which is green. Quite fancy! Pot grown, 12 to 15 in., $1.25. 
CRINODENDRON dependens, WHITE LILYTREE (9). An excellent small tree of quick 
growth when young with good habit and foliage, bearing hanging white bell shaped 
flowers. Does not at all require acid soil and is not “cranky” like the red flowering C. 
patagua. We find that it stays in bloom for several months during summer and regard 
it as among the best of the newer evergreen trees. It seems to us that this should find 
wide use in the S. F. Bay region not only in gardens but as a good street tree where an 
evergreen is wanted. Balled, 8 to 10 ft., $5.00; 6 to 8 ft., $4.00; 5 to 6 ft., $3.50; 3 to

CYTISUS scoparius. The colored varieties of Scotch Broom are of comparatively recent 
introduction and have become very popular. We will describe only two this time. 
*Lilac Time (7). This beautiful hybrid betwen Portugal Broom and one of the 
colored Scotch Brooms is distinct in all respects. Growth is more slender and 
erect while color of profusely borne flowers is slightly purplish lilac. This cross 
is quite likely better adaped to the warmer portions of California than the 
straight Scotch types which do so well in cooler, moister locations. Pot grown, 
$1.00. 
Lady Moore (6). The large flowers have a fine bright coloring; wings scarlet, 
standard rosy yellow, keel yellow and pink. Pot grown, $1.00
