PINK FLOWERED CURRANT 
Ribes sanguineum glutinosum. Many of the native flower- 
ing Currants are “fussy” about their companions and loca- 
tion but this variety may be planted most anywhere in par- 
tial shade and will provide you many happy moments. Big 
nearly round, deeply ribbed leaves, light green in color, line 
the slender branches. In Spring each branch tip glows with 
good sized sprays of small deep pink bloom. Delightful fra- 
grance. Requires moist conditions. 4-6 ft. Hardy. Gal. con- 
tainers, $1.00. 
If there is any plant material you would like to have that 
is not listed in this catalogue, please ask for it. We grow 
hundreds of varieties of shrubs, trees, vines and perennials 
which we cannot, for lack of space, ennumerate or describe 
here. 
MATILIJA POPPY 
Romneya coulteri. They are sometimes a little difficuit 
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, $1.50. 
PINK BEAUTY 
Rondeletia amoena. Bright, copper tinted foliage, as fresh 
as the breath of Spring, is surmounted in early Summer with 
heads of pink tubular flowers, sometimes as many as 100 of 
them in a single cluster. The big 3-inch coppery leaves, heav- 
ily veined, green as they age but retain some of their rich 
coloring on the under side. We have grown the plant in both 
sun and part shade and it seems to enjoy either. Half hardy. 
4 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.25. 
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 114 inches in length, 
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, 
Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; 
are strung thickly on sturdy stems. 
primroses or small ferns.

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 
Hardy. Sun. 
evergreen vine. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. 
containers, 85c.
