FOR PERMANENCE PLANT FROST HARDY 
FLOWERING TREES and SHRUBS: 
Most of us, here in South- 
ern California, have for 
years planted frost tender 
flowering material (Hibis- 
cus, Fuchsia, Lantana, Jaca- 
randa, Bougainvillea, etc.) 
We have almost forgotten 
the wealth of frost hardy 
deciduous shrubs and trees 
that can fill the spring and 
early summer days with 
their refreshing brilliance 
and the evenings with their 
perfume. For the most part 
these shrubs have excellent 
spring, summer and fall fol- 
iage and are bare of limb 
but a comparatively short 
period. 
Not only are they frost 
hardy but most of them grow rapidly and require little atten- 
tion. 
To help those of you who are not familiar with many 
of these hardy and colorful shrubs and trees, we have com- 
piled the following information. — 
OUR SUPPLY OF SOME VARIETIES IS QUITE LIMITED.
