EUGENIA 
Evergreen shrubs or trees with privet-like foliage much used as 
clipped specimens. While young they stand clipping well. Useful 
as hedges and windbreaks, or as columnar shrubs as accents. The 
fruits of some varieties make odd jellies. Sun or partial shade. 
Hardy to 25°. 
Eugenia myrtifolia, Brush Cherry. Dense growing shrub, the most 
popular of all Eugenias. New growth reddish, later turning green. 
Sun or shade. Purple berries are very attractive. 
Eugenia smithi. More refined and better suited to foundation 
planting than the common Eugenia is this handsome shrub whose 
orchid or lavender-pink porcelain-like berries are very charming. 
and distinct. 
EVONYMUS 
Euonymus. Slow growing evergreen foliage shrub well suited to 
planting in the drier sections where it is used about the home as 
a foundation or specimen plant or as clipped specimens. We offer 
Euonymus japonicus, deep green; E. aureo-marginatus, with yel- 
low margins and E. argenteo-marginatus, with silvery markings. All 
hardy and easy to grow. 
PINEAPPLE GUAVA 
Feijoa sellowiana, Pineapple Guava. Not nearly enough grown as 
an ornamental, this gray foliaged shrub glorifies the garden in spring 
with its waxy white flowers with plumes of bright red stamens in 
the centers. Fruits green, oval in shape, with 4 little ears left over 
from the flower and strongly scented of Pineapple. Very hardy. 
FLANNELBUSH 
Fremontia mexicana. One of our finest native shrubs. Deeply cut 
woolly leaves and yellow-orange cup-shaped flowers in early spring 
‘are a glorious combination. Full sun and dry porous soil make it 
useful for semi-wild plantings in dry places. Hardy. 
FUCHSIAS 
The highly colored yet delicate flowers of Fuchias are so varied and 
beautiful that they are highly prized all over the country. In Cali- 
fornia they are hardy outdoors in shaded places. Give them a rich 
soil with plenty of leaf mold or humus and keep. moist but not wet. 
They are best along the coast but do well inland with frequent 
spraying during hot spells. 
See complete selection at nursery. Prices according to size and 
variety.

HIBISCUS RED MONARCH 
GUAVAS for Jelly and Ornament 
We often think of Guava as a fruiting shrub almost in the same 
sense as we would mention Blackberries. They are decidedly attrac- 
tive shrubs for ornamental purposes, requiring nothing more than 
frost-free areas to grow. Excellent when used as hedges where 
their close growth, fine foliage and colorful fruits vie with each 
other in making their stay worthwhile. Use the fruits for jellies 
and preserves. 
Lemon Guava (Psidium guajava). Large yellow-green pear-shaped 
fruits. Slightly tender. 
Red Strawberry Guava (Psidium cattleyanum). Large deep red 
fruits of fine flavor. Hardy. 
Yellow Strawberry Guava (Psidium lucidum). Fruits yellow, some- 
what firmer than the Red Strawberry. Hardy. 
See also Pineapple Guava (Feijoa).
