Myrtus communis Compact. Not only is our most popular 
shrub for building low compact hedges but is also used suc- 
cessfully wherever 2-2% foot shrubs are needed. Balled, 
15-18 in., $2.75; 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 75c. 
HEAVENLY BAMBOO 
Nandina domestica. Many stiff upright stems softened 
throughout by narrow leaves that first appear a bronzy-red, 
change to a luscious green and in winter, if planted in the 
sun, don flashy garments of brilliant scarlet. In spring each 
stem displays a raceme of white pea-shaped flowers. Bright 
red berries follow the flowers. Growing quite upright it may 
be confined in a narrow space. Sun or shade. Hardy. 5 ft. 
Balled, bushy, 2-3 ft., $3.25; 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. con-

GOOD OLD OLEANDER! 
There is not a day from June until October that these busy 
shrubs are not smothered with colorful bloom. And, too, 
they will thrive in most any soil with a minimum of water 
and attention. The single flowered varieties are more satis- 
factory than the double in one respect: the singles drop their 
bloom immediately after the flowers have faded while the 
bloom of the doubles dries after maturity and remains on the 
plant for some time. Hardy. Sun. 6-8 ft. 5-gal. containers, 
$2.75; gal. containers, 75c, except as noted. 
Bettie. Single large light pink flowers,

ITEA ILICIFOLIA. Holly-like foliage for shaded locations. 
See page 14. 
SCARLET AND BLACK 
Ochna multiflora. An attractive and interesting shrub in 
every season. In spring, clusters of small single yellow bloom 
are hung all through its dark polished foliage. Flowers de- 
velop into five-sided seed carpels, turn a rich scarlet and re- 
main a veritable bonfire of color through winter. Large jet- 
black seeds protrude from each side of the capsules. Grows 
compactly to 4 or 5 feet. Prefers some shade. Hardy except 
in very cold locations. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.50. 
SWEET OLIVE 
Osmanthus fragrans. Because of its lustrous foliage and 
the intense sweet perfume of its small white bloom it is a 
grand shrub for use about the shaded parts of the patio. 
Thrives in pots. We have noticed, too, it seems to tolerate 
poor drainage. Hardy. Sun or shade. However, the foliage 
maintains a richer finish with some shade. 6-8 ft. Balled, 
3-314 ft., $5.50; 2-3 ft., $4.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. 
containers, $1.25. P 
Osmanthus delavayi. A lovely little shrub of moderately 
slow growth that enjoys shade and moisture. We think it 
well worth growing for its small, notched lustrous leaves 
alone but in addition to the handsome foliage the plant bears 
a multitude of sweetly scented bell-shaped flowers in spring. 
Prune back, in early spring, branches that protrude from the 
main body of the plant. Hardy. 4-5 ft. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.25; gal. containers, $1.25. 
CALIFORNIA HOLLY 
Photinia arbutifolia. One of our finest native shrubs. 
Dark heavy foliage on an 8- to 10-foot plant. Small white 
flowers develop into dense clusters of bright berries that 
are used extensively for house decorations at Christmas 
time. Grows rapidly in sun or part shade and is not affected 
by frost. Requires little attention but does appreciate good 
drainage. Go easy on the fertilizer. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; 
gal. containers, $1.25. 

EURYOPS ATHANASIAE. Big showy yellow daisies in 
mid-winter. See page 11.
