GREWIA CAFFRA—Lends itself well to training on walls 
SAN DIEGO FREMONTIA 
Fremontia mexicana. This shrub grows with astonishing 
rapidity covering its brown branches with furry brown-tinted 
maple like leaves. Through June and July, and sometimes into 
August, the plant is alive with single cup-shaped yellow 
flowers that are shaded gold in the center. Will thrive in poor 
rocky soil with little water. Hardy. Sun. 8 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.35. 
GARDENIAS 
Gardenia Mystery. Why it should be called Mystery is 
more than we can tell you unless it’s beyond human under- 
standing how so much perfume, beauty and grace can be con- 
tained m three inches of glowing waxy whiteness. Contrary 
to the opinion of many folks Gardenias are not at all diffi- 
cult to manage if a few simple rules are observed. Choose 
a sunny well-drained spot. Combine one-third peat with your 
soil when planting. Apply any good complete commercial 
fertilizer three times at six week intervals beginning about 
April 15. At the same time add a small spoonful or two of 
soil sulphur depending upon the size of the plant. Blooms 
through summer. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.25. 
Gardenia jasminoides fortuniana Veitch. A low growing 
variety that bears smaller flowers than the preceding va- 
riety. Will tolerate some shade. Blooms in late winter and 
spring. Planting and cultural procedure are the same as for 
other varieties. Hardy. 2-2™% ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; 
gal. containers, $1.25. 
HUMMING BIRD BUSH 
Grevillea thelemanniana. Through the cooler months of 
the year, when most other shrubs are resting, this graceful, 
airy shrub is really the busiest. It covers itself with delightful 
little red honeysuckle-like blooms that contain a sweetness 
particularly enjoyed by the humming birds. Sun. Hardy. 5-6 
ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.09. 

GREWIA 
Grewia caffra. Particularly desirable for pleaching on 
fence or wall. The small bright leaves and thin flexible 
stems are set just thickly enough to form, with a little train- 
ing, the most intriguing patterns. Terminal clusters of from 
3 to 5 lavender, star-shaped flowers are borne from early 
Summer until mid-Winter. 8-12 ft. Sun or shade. Hardy, 
except in very cold area. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.25. 
HIBISCUS 
From May until December, and during some warm years 
all winter, these huge flowered beauties provide a satisfying 
display of both warm and subdued colors. Fertilized freely, 
they will grow rapidly and bloom heavily the same season 
they are planted. Plant in sun. Hardy, except in cold loca- 
tions. 6-8 ft. 
Prices on Hibiscus. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.00, except as noted. 
Agnes Gault. Enormous coral-pink shaded to light pink 
on edges of petals. Very rapid grower. 
Brilliant. Flaming scarlet. 
Crown of Bohemia. Yellow, gold, bronze and cerise. Mod- 
erate grower. 5-gal. containers, $5.00; 1-gal. containers, 
$2.00. 
Double Orange. Heavily double. Bronzy orange. Compact 
grower. 
Double Red. Really old rose in color. 
Kona. Prolific. Tall 
STOWeL. 
Medium sized double deep pink. 
Single Apricot. Rich apricot, red center. 
HYDRANGEAS 
Display their huge panicles of colorful florets in June and 
in some years continue through August. The Macrophylla va- 
riety attains a larger size than the Hybrids but its flowers are 
smaller. Prune back flowering branches to three strong buds 
immediately after the blooming period. Require some shade 
and plenty of water. Hardy. Either Macrophylla or French 
Hybrids, 5-gal containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 90c. 
GOLDEN DOLLARS 
Hypericum patulum henryi. We are quite partial to this 
outstanding plant for almost too many reasons to enumerate. 
In the first place its big golden blossoms are carried through 
most of the year. The bronze tipped willowy branches appear 
clean and cool through all seasons. Frosty winter nights 
paint the lower leaves in brilliant shades of red and gold. As 
the plant grows to only 2 or 3 feet it is not too large to fit in 
most anywhere. Sun or shade. Hardy. Balled, 2-2% ft., 
$4.75; 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 75c. 
HOLLIES 
Ilex aquifolium. English Holly. A shapely Holly all dressed 
up in brilliant red berries and dark spiny toothed leaves is 
always a center of attraction. Plant a few English Holly in 
your Camellia beds and see how admirably two different fam- 
ilies can get along together. They are not at all human, we 
assure you. Female plants bear berries but only when male 
plant is in immediate vicinity. Sun or part shade. Appreci- 
ate leaf mold. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $4.50; gal. contain- 
ers, $1.35. 
Ilex cornuta. Chinese Holly. A hardy long-lived shrub 
notable for its big bright berries and lustrous foliage. During 
the Christmas season its heavily berried branches are greatly 
prized for indoor decorations. Seems to feel equally at home 
in sun or shade. Appreciate leaf mold. Balled, 1%-2 ft., $4.00; 
5-gal. containers, $4.50; gal. containers, $1.35. 
We grow hundreds of varieties not listed here!
