RONDELETIA. Coppery foliage and pink bloom. See page 20. 
BLUE PLUMBAGO 
Plumbago capensis. A shrub that will thrive on hot dry 
banks or in close proximity to Eucalyptus trees where few 
other shrubs will survive. Also effective for draping over 
fence or wall. Their soft blue flowers are borne through the 
entire summer. Hardy except in coldest sections. Sun. 
5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 85c. 
FERN PINE 
Podocarpus elongatus. A lovely erect visitor from South 
Africa, with small narrow leaves and drooping branchlets, 
that with pruning is most satisfactory for framing large 
windows or for use against buildings where height and airi- 
ness are indicated. Also an unusually attractive pot plant 
for the patio. If allowed to grow naturally, except possibly 
for the removal of some of the lower branches, the plant 
will in time grow into a graceful spreading tree to 30 or 40 
feet. Shade or sun. Hardy except in very cold spots. Balled, 
5-6 ft., $7.50; 5-gal. containers, $4.00; gal. containers, $1.50. 
Podocarpus macrophyllus. Are most attractive when 
trimmed in pyramid form. The dense dark foliage resembles 
that of the Irish Yew in shade and color but is larger. Use 
them against patio walls either in pots or in the ground or.as 
specimens in combination with prostrate Junipers. They 
really command attention. Sun or partial shade. Hardy. 
8-10 ft. 5-gal. containers, $4.00; gal. containers, $1.50. 
EVERBLOOMING POLYGALA 
Polygala dalmaisiana. The bloomingest shrub of our 
acquaintance. There is not a week from January until De- 
cember that this attractive shrub doesn’t perfect its big loose 
clusters of reddish purple pea-shaped bloom. Forms a dense 
shrub, with a little pruning, to 4 feet tall and as wide as tall. 
Olive green foliage. Sun. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; 
gal. containers, 85c.

CAROLINA LAUREL CHERRY 
Prunus caroliniana. Tree, shrub or hedge? In fact it may 
serve any of these useful purposes. Grown in standard form 
it will make a dense round-headed tree to 12 or 15 feet, Aj. 
lowed to develop in a natural manner it grows into a dark 
foliaged shrub of sizable proportions. Pruned in pyramid 
shape it is often used in place of Eugenia in colder areas, to 
break corners of buildings or to frame large windows. May 
also be pruned in formal hedge shape. Sun. Hardy. Balled, 
7-8 ft., $10.50; 6-7 ft., $8.00; 5-6 ft., $6.00; 5-gal. containers, 
$3.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
HOLLYLEAF CHERRY 
Prunus ilicifolia. If you are looking for a drought resistant 
evergreen shrub for screening, we suggest this native Cali- 
fornia variety. Dark green spiny holly-like leaves, racemes 
of white flowers followed by dark red fruits. Hardy. Sun or 
part shade. 8-10 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, 
$1.00. 
CATALINA CHERRY 
Prunus lyoni. During all but the coldest years there isn’t 
a time that this shrub is not throwing out new growth. The 
contrast of the new polished foliage against the dark older 
growth is quite pronounced. A most satisfactory shrub for 
screening purposes as it grows rapidly, covers well and is 
entirely hardy. No finer shrub for pruning in hedge form. 
Sun or part shade. 6-12 ft. depending on amount of trim- 
ming. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 85c. 
CARNATION FLOWERED POMEGRANATE 
Punica Chico. A great improvement over the old variety 
that we all thought so showy. This variety has much larger 
and more double flowers of brilliant orange scarlet. Dense 
varnished foliage. Will provide a hot spot of color for months. 
Sun. 2-3 ft. Hardy. Gal. containers, 85c.
