DWARF CALIFORNIA LILACS 
Ceanothus foliosus. Wavyleaf Ceanothus. Dwarf spread- 
ing variety, usually only a foot or so in height, that is densely 
clothed with short thin branches and ™%-inch oblong leaves, 
varnished green above and pale green beneath. Short spikes 
of deep blue flowers are borne in unusual profusion from 
March to May. Sun or light shade. Gal, containers, $1.25. 
Ceanothus gloriosus. Point Reyes Creeper. For planting 
at the base of taller shrubs, on banks, or under low windows 
there is no better or more handsome shrub. The low trailing 
branches, heavily foliaged with polished holly-like leaves 
appear unusually bright and neat in every season. In March 
and April the plant is alive with sparkling lavender-blue 
flower clusters. Enjoys part shade. 1% ft. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.00; gal. containers, $1.25. 
Ceanothus roweanus. Rowe Ceanothus. This hardy 
drought resistant variety was discovered in Santa Barbara 
County in 1938. Its low spreading form, 2 to 3 feet tall and 
about twice as broad, compact growth and sprays of rich 
deep blue flowers combine to make it one of the most lovely 
and satisfactory varieties. Blooms February to April. Gal. 
containers, $1.25. 
Ceanothus sorediatus. We know you'll be happy with this 
newer dwarf variety for its myriad light to dark-blue spikes 
stand out in resplendent beauty against the dense, highly 
polished foliage. Blooms March and April. 4-8 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 


RED BLOOM AND BERRIES 
Cestrum elegans. This is by no means a new shrub to 
California gardens but we feel its use has been unjustly neg- 
lected. Find a 3 or 4 foot space between windows on the 
east or south side and plant yourself one of these beauties. 
We know you'll like everything about it (so will the Hum- 
ming Birds), the tall branches, vivid with big furry bronze- 
tinted leaves, the terminal clusters of red tubular blooms 
and the brilliant red berries that follow. 7-8 ft., 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.00; gal. containers, 90c. 
NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE 
Cestrum parqui. A handsome, robust shrub, but its great- 
est value lies in its permeating fragrance. Put a plant outside 
your bedroom window. The night perfume of the small 
greenish white flowers will bring you the sweetest sleep 
you have ever enjoyed. Sprays of the white berries that 
follow the flowers make splendid table decorations. Semi- 
hardy. Shade or sun. 6-7 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. 
containers, 75c. 
GERALDTON WAX FLOWER 
Chamaelaucium ciliatum. As a source of cut flowers no 
other shrub of recent introduction will supply you as many 
colorful blooms as this variety. In late winter the plump deep 
pink buds open to lovely waxy pink blooms that continue in 
generous quantities for months. When cut the flowers will 
last for several weeks. Mild, pleasing fragrance. Graceful, 
airy foliage. Grows best in well drained soil. Sun. Hardy. 
8-10 f. Gal. containers, $1.25. 
FRAGRANT MEXICAN ORANGE 
Choisya ternata. Few other shrubs possess the well 
groomed highly polished appearance of Choisya. Through- 
out the year the plant is as bright and cheerful as a new 
spring hat. A dense symmetrical shrub, crowned in spring and 
early summer with waxy white flowers of refreshing fra- 
grance. Thrives, with good drainage, in either shade or sun. 
4-6 ft. Hardy. Balled, 1%4-2 ft., $3.75; 15-18 in., $3.00; 5-gal. 
containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.25. 
PANSY FACES 
Chorizema varium. They outdo the Pansies in intense 
coloring. Each small pansy-shaped flower is a riot of golden 
orange, flaming scarlet and vivid purple. Through late win- 
ter and spring every slender branchlet is lined with these 
spectacular blooms. As the plant is neat in all seasons and 
grows only to 2 feet it may be tucked away most anywhere. 
You will marvel at its colorful performance. Sun or shade. 
Hardy. Gal. containers, 85c.
