maple like leaves. Through June and July, and sometimes into 
August, the plant is alive with single cup-shaped yellow 
flowers that are shaded gold in the center. Will thrive in poor 
rocky soil with little water. Seldom survives longer than 10 
years. Hardy. Sun. 8 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.25. 
GARDENIAS 
Gardenia jasminoides Mystery. Why it should be called 
Mystery is more than we can tell unless it’s beyond human 
understanding how so much perfume, beauty and grace can 
be contained in three inches of glowing waxy whiteness. Con- 
trary to the opinion of many folks Gardenias are not at all dif- 
ficult to manage if a few simple rules are observed. Choose 
a sunny well-drained spot. Combine one-third peat with your 
soil when planting. Apply any good complete commercial 
fertilizer three times at six week intervals beginning about 
April 15. At the same time add a small spoonful or two of 
soil sulphur depending upon the size of the plant. If leaves 
are yellow apply one tablespoonful of ferrous iron sulphate 
twice a year, when the ground warms up in the spring and 
again in September. Blooms through summer. Hardy. Balled, 
214-3 ft., $7.00; 2-2% ft., $6.00; 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. 
containers, $1.00. 
Gardenia jasminoides Veitch. A low growing variety that 
bears smaller flowers than the preceding variety. Will tol- 
erate some shade. Blooms in late winter and spring. Plant. 
ing and cultural procedure are the same as for other va- 
rieties. Sometimes is rather stingy with its bloom. Hardy. 
2-214 ft. Balled, 114-2 ft., $3.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. 
containers, $1.00. 



CALIFORNIA HOLLY. Bright red berries. 
See page 17. 
HUMMING BIRD BUSH 
Grevillea thelemanniana. Through the cooler months of 
the year, when most other shrubs are resting, this graceful, 
airy shrub is really the busiest. It covers itself with delightful 
little red honeysuckle-like blooms that contain a sweetness 
particularly enjoyed by the humming birds. Sun. Hardy. 5-6 
ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
PORTUGUESE SUN ROSE 
Halimium lasianthum. Silver gray foliaged shrub to 2% 
feet. Spreading. Each morning through spring a fresh lot 
of yellow single flowers blotched with maroon, greets the 
morning sun. Each day you'll probably think the little shrub 
surely must have reached the end of its blooming but are 
happily surprised to find it right back on the job again. 
Excellent in the rock garden or for foreground planting. 
Needs good drainage, sun and little water. Hardy. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 85c. 
SPECTACULAR SUNROSE 
Halimium ocymoides. You have probably noticed that an 
occasional silvery green foliaged shrub mixed in with green 
shrubs always heightens their effectiveness. Try a few of 
these silver hued beauties in your next planting. The small 
leaves are crowded in whorls about the thin gray stems. In 
early summer each tiny branchlet is burdened with single 
yellow bloom, the lower part of each petal painted with ma- 
roon. Individual flowers last only a day but there is a con- 
stant succession of them for many weeks. Sun and good 
drainage. Hardy. 3-3% ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 85c. 

Evergreen flowering shrubs and trees will form the foun- 
dation planting about your new home. Plant them first. You 
can add the perennial and annual “trimmings” later.
