CARPENTERIA CALIFORNICA. Here’s intoxicating 
perfume for your garden. See page 8. 
BOXWOOD 
Buxus microphylla japonica. Through many years has 
been the favorite low hedge for bordering walks, drives and 
formal gardens. Grows slowly so requires a minimum of 
shearing. Trimmed specimens are popular, too, for spots 
where use of formal plants is indicated. Sun or part shade. 
Hardy. Globes, trimmed, 10-12 in., $4.00; Pyramids, trimmed,

TRINIDAD FLAME BUSH 
Calliandra guildingi. A well-grown specimen of this va- 
riety in full bloom is a thrilling sight, indeed. The tip of 
each slender branch is aflame with big, erect tufts of glowing 
scarlet. Foliage is soft and fern-like. In spite of its fragile 
appearance the plant is quite hardy and drought resistant. 
Blooms through spring, summer and fall. Sun. 7-8 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
ROSE PINK CALLIANDRA 
Calliandra inaequilatera. An introduction from Bolivia 
that grows vigorously to a large size, wide spreading to 6 feet. 
For many months the graceful arching branches are lined 
with big 2- to 3-inch pompon bloom of deep rose. The finely 
divided pinnate leaves lend an airy appearance to the artistic 
branches. Exotic and exciting. Hardy except in very cold 
areas. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $4.50. 
CALLISTEMON 
Callistemon lanceolatus. We have seen many varieties of 
Callistemon and so have you, displaying their garish summer 
heads of rich red, but we have never before seen a variety 
so completely covered with bloom as this. Big, erect heads 
of dazzling crowded stamens, in bottle brush form, are boldly 
displayed against the polished lance-like leaves. Hardy and 
8-10 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.00. 
drought resistant. Sun. 

CAMELLIAS 
Many people think Camellias difficult to grow. Our ex- 
perience has been entirely to the contrary. As a matter of 
fact we feel that few plants are as easily grown and certainly 
no plants will supply more bloom over a long period. 
See page 50 for planting and cultural directions. 
Alba Plena. The most sought after white Camellia. The 
medium sized flowers are of lovely form, delicate and chiffon- 
like with overlapping petals that never show the stamens. 
The bushy plant has a spreading habit of growth, with pale 
ereen foliage, requiring more shade than most Camellias. The 
earliest white, blooming some seasons from Thanksgiving 
until March. 5-gal. containers, $10.00; gal. containers, $3.50. 
Bella Romana. A striking variegated Camella, double and 
large petaled. The color varies in individual flowers but is a 
rich pink splashed with streaks of deep rose. The texture is 
that of crepe paper. Blooms early. 5-gal. containers, $7.00; 
gal. containers, $2.50. 
Chandleri Elegans. The Camellia that makes every one 
exclaim. Enormous peony flowered bloom with tightly curled 
center petals among a fringe of larger ones. The bloom is 
soft rose splotched with white. Though the shrub is of mod- 
erate growth it is bushy and the flowers are produced even 
when the plant is small. Fine to espalier. Early to mid-sea- 
son. 5-gal. containers, $6.75; gal. containers, $2.00. 
Colonel Firey. Well named! Large double, rich crimson, 
beautifully shaped to 5 inches having the regular form of 
Pink Perfection, but much larger. The plant is slow in 
erowth, is somewhat dwarf, but sets many flowers. Mid to 
late season. 5-gal. containers, $9.00; gal. containers, $3.25. 
Covina. One of the best producers among the Camellias, 
blooming freely over a long period. The flowers are medium 
sized, double, clear rose pink, the petals more loosely ar- 
ranged than those of Pink Perfection. The shrub grows 
compactly with fine foliage, making it especially desirable 
for tub culture. Mid-season. 5-gal. containers, $4.50; gal. 
containers, $1.25. 
Daikagura. The earliest Camellia to bloom. Bright rose- 
red splotched with white, a full double, its center petals are 
smaller and often curled and twisted. The foliage is beautiful. 
Nov. to Feb. 5-gal. containers, $7.50; gal. containers, $2.00. 
Elizabeth. White with a small pink marking on each blos- 
som. The bloom is compact, double and incurved. A strong 
grower with large glossy foliage and profuse bloom. January 
to March. 5-gal. containers, $6.75; gal. containers, $3.00. 
Ella Drayton. Huge rose-red Camellia, cherry red on re- 
verse side with big petals which give a star-like effect. The 
shrub is tall, slender and free-branching. It blooms early to 
mid-season. 5-gal. containers, $6.75; gal. containers, $2.50. 
Emperor Wilhelm. Huge, bright cherry-red with a very 
clear white section, the center of the flower filled with pet- 
aloids and stamens. In form it is similar to Chandleri Elegans 
but is even larger. The plant is a rapid grower and outstand- 
ing. December to March. 5-gal. containers, $12.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $5.00. 
Fanny Bolis. An informal semi-double rose-red flower, 
boldly marbled with white. The golden stamens make a fine 
display among the loosely arranged center petals. The plant 
is bushy with large, dark leathery foliage. Mid-season. 5-gal. 
containers, $6.75; gal. containers, $2.75. 
Finlandia. Extremely large semi-double white Camellia, 
unusually delicate and clear-cut in form. The petals are broad 
and wavy; the golden stamens extremely showy. The me- 
dium green foliage is carried on a compact, bushy plant.
