HIBISCUS, CROWN OF BOHEMIA 
ESCALLONIAS 
Excellent evergreen shrubs of neat growth and good dark green 
foliage. Some have showy flowers in large clusters. For open situa- 
tions. Escallonias do especially well along the coast. 
Escallonia organensis. The finest Escallonias yet introduced and 
one of the best ornamental shrubs. Luxuriant glossy green leaves 
of medium size showing bronzy red tints. Flowers pink to white, 
like small apple-blossoms in large clusters. 
Escallonia rubra. Low compact shrub probably the best of the group; 
shining leaves and showy rich red flowers. Like a shady location. 
EUGENIA 
Evergreen shrubs or trees with privet-like foliage much used as 
clipped specimens. While young they stand clipping well. Useful 
as hedges and windbreaks, or as columnar shrubs as accents. The 
fruits of some varieties make odd jellies. Sun or partial shade. 
Hardy to 25°. 
Eugenia myrtifolia, Brush Cherry. Dense growing shrub, the most 
popular of all Eugenias. New growth reddish, later turning green. 
Sun or shade. Purple berries are very attractive. 
Eugenia smithi. Lilli-pilli tree. More refined and better suited to 
foundation planting than the common Eugenia is this handsome 
shrub whose orchid or lavender-pink porcelain-like berries are very 
charming and distinct. 
EVONYMUS 
Euonymus. Slow growing evergreen foliage shrub well suited to 
planting in the drier sections where it is used about the home as 
a foundation or specimen plant or as clipped specimens. We offer 
Euonymus japonicus, deep green; E. aureo-marginatus, with yel- 
low margins and E. argenteo-marginatus, with silvery markings. All 
hardy and easy to grow. 
PINEAPPLE GUAVA 
Feijoa sellowiana, Pineapple Guava. Not nearly enough grown as 
an ornamental, this gray foliaged shrub glorifies the garden in spring 
with its waxy white flowers with plumes of bright red stamens in 
the centers. Fruits green, oval in shape, with 4 little ears left over 
from the flower and strongly scented of Pineapple. Very hardy.

FLANNELBUSH 
Fremontia mexicana. One of our finest native shrubs. Deeply cut 
woolly leaves and yellow-orange cup-shaped flowers in early spring 
are a glorious combination. Full sun and dry porous soil make it 
useful for semi-wild plantings in dry places. Hardy. 
FUCHSIAS 
The highly colored yet delicate flowers of Fuchias are so varied and 
beautiful that they are highly prized all over the country. In Cali- 
fornia they are hardy outdoors in shaded places. Give them a rich 
soil with plenty of leaf mold or humus and keep moist but not wet. 
They are best along the coast but do well inland with frequent 
spraying during hot spells. 
See complete selection at nursery. Prices according to size and 
variety. Available in hanging and upright varieties. 
GARDENIAS 
Glossy leaved shrubs famous for their waxy white flowers. Delight- 
fully perfumed and much used for corsages and when cut simply 
to perfume the house. They are easy to grow in sun or partial 
shade when planted in a soil composed of leaf-mold, peat and sand. 
Drainage should be the best. Don’t cultivate around the roots, in- 
stead spread a mulch of leaf-mold to keep the soil moist at all 
times. Hardy to 18 or 20°. 
Gardenia grandiflora. Mystery. Improved form with large double 
flowers. Profuse during summer, off and on throughout the year. 
GREVILLEA 
Grevillea thelemanniana. Hummingbird Bush, Jewel Flower. Bushy 
shrub of medium size with feathery, finely cut leaves and bright 
ruby-red flowers off and on throughout the year. Sun but must 
have a dry well-drained soil. Hardy.
