wong ~Evergroonr Shrubs 
Most of the shrubs used in planting about the house in Southern California 
belong to this class. They are of year ’round good appearance. Most of them 
are desirable for their foliage alone and display interesting and often very 
showy flowers. Some are more useful for foliage effects since their bloom is 
scanty or inconspicuous. They offer, as a group, subjects for all purposes, 
foundation plantings, screens, hedges and some are large enough for planting 
as small trees. Use acid fertilizers for all shade plants, Azaleas, Camellias, 
Gardenias, etc. 
Prices 75c and up depending on size of plant and variety selected. Larger sizes 
$2.75 and up.

AZALEAS 
The showiest of spring flowering 
shrubs, the azaleas make a mass of 
bloom just about the Camellia season. 
They suffer from alkali in the water 
which is easily overcome by planting 
in pure peat beds and using an acid 
fertilizer. We have this in stock for 
Azaleas, Gardenias and Camellias. Give 
light shade, keep moist and provide for 
good drainage.
