CAMELLIA japonica (7). We have no intention of growing any wide diversity of va- 
rieties but have assembled and are propagating a set of about 25 which we consider 
the choicest. These will be described and offered as fast as sufficient material is 
available. 
CEANOTHUS thyrsiflorus repens. CREEPING BLUEBLOSSOM (7 ).While not thor- 
oughly prostrate this is decidedly spreading and of low habit. It grows very rapidly 
so is very useful where banks are to be covered quickly as plants will soon attain 
several feet in width. Pot grown, $1.25. 
*ESCALLONIA x Wm. Watson (7). A new hybrid that we imported from England as 
soon as the war ended. It was described as “a good form of compact growth and with 
flowers of a good red color.” While we haven't had time to test it thoroughly it seems 
to fulfill these claims. Pot grown. $1.25. 
ILEX aquipernyi Brilliant (6). In G. A. 1938 we mentioned that we had raised a 
large number of hybrid seedlings of I. pernyi crossed with I. aquifolium. Later when 
they commenced to berry we selected the finest one of the lot, named it as above and 
now propagate it by grafting to assure uniformity. The foliage is almost exactly inter- 
mediate between that of the parents and berries are large, glossy red. It is a good 
grower and entirely distinct from anything else. Pot grown (grafted), $1.50.

*LEPTOSPERMUM — New Hybrids (9). They comprise a group of hybrids developed 
recently at U. C. L. A. as a result of crossing L. nicholsi with L. scoparium Rose 
Double. They give every indication of causing a genuine sensation in West Coast 
horticultural circles. Being so new they have not been thoroughly tested but we do 
know that the three we offer start blooming when only a few inches tall, have fine 
coloration and are remarkably productive. The foliage of all three is tinged red. Pot 
grown, $1.50. 
*Red Damask. This seems to be the earliest of the three. The little buds are 
dark red and open flowers over a half inch broad are very double, deep red and hand- 
some. Thought good for cutting. 
*Ruby Glow. Flowers are deep rich red but not quite as dark as Red Damask. 
This is also very double. 
*Scarlet Carnival. A tall growing plant producing an abundance of double 
rosy red flowers in late spring. 
OSMANTHUS ilicifolius (seedlings). HOLLY OSMANTHUS (6). In G. A. 1945 we 
mentioned the interesting fact that the foliage on seedlings was much more attractive 
and “holly-like” than on plants raised from cuttings or grafted. As our stock plants 
do not set fruit every year we sometimes have no seedlings available as they sell out 
quickly due to their unusual appearance. Pot grown, $1.25. 
FLOWERING FRUIT TREES 
We have nothing new to offer this season and stock generally is in very limited 
supply. See Part II for what is available.
