8 TUTTLE BROS. NURSERIES, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 
CARPENTERIA 
Carpenteria californica. If planted in filtered sunlight and 
provided good drainage, this handsome shrub will afford a 
wealth of big white, yellow centered bloom, similar to White 
Cherokee roses, in clusters of 5 to 7 on erect, well foliaged 
branches. As the flowers appear in summer when other 
bloom is at a minimum you will more than appreciate their 
cool, frosty appearance. 5-6 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, 
£3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
HARDY CASSIA 
Cassia artemisioides. A native of Australia that feels per- 
fectly at home here. Soft feathery gray foliage and fragrant, 
bright yellow flowers that make their first appearance in 
December or January, just when we appreciate flowers most. 
Shapely plant, about as broad as tall. Hardy. Full sun and 
good drainage. Quite drought resistant. 5-gal. containers, 
53.25; gal. containers, 90c. 
CALIFORNIA LILACS 
Through late spring and early summer their wealth of 
blooms, ranging from pale blue to the crisp deep blue of 
skies after a winter rain, will thrill you with their loveliness. 
Require good drainage. Hardy. Sun or part shade. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Ceanothus arboreus. Catalina Ceanothus. Attains almost 
tree size. Large, heavily veined leaves and large flower 
clusters of lavender blue from February to April. 12-15 ft. 
Ceanothus cyaneus. San Diego Ceanothus. Lustrous spikes 
of intense blue in great profusion through May and June. 
Highly polished foliage. 6-8 ft. 
DWARF CALIFORNIA LILACS 
Ceanothus dentatus floribundus. Growing only to a height 
of 4 feet or less, and as broad as tall, this wavy leaved variety 
covers itself in March and April with dense clusters of bright 
blue on slender branches. The plant is of rather slow growth. 
You'll find it a happy addition for any partially shaded spot. 
For best results add a little peat or leaf mold. Hardy. 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, 
S300 oaluecontaimerss plk25. 
Ceanothus griseus horizontalis. Carmel Creeper. A very 
low creeping variety about 6 inches tall and 3 to 6 feet across, 
splendid for training over rocks. Will stand wind near the 
coast, full sunlight or partial shade. When in bloom the 
leaves are barely visible in the mound of deep blue flowers. 
Gal. containers, $1.25. 
DEEP BLUE PLUMBAGO 
Ceratostigma griffithi. From August through November 
this bronze foliaged beauty from India is aglow with astonish- 
ing quantities of small single deep blue flowers. Grows to 
only 2 feet, so it is just right to fit small spaces in the shrub 
border. Hardy. Sun. Gal. containers, 90c, 
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. Prune lightly 
after blooming season. Sun. Hardy. 8-10 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25.
