The largest number of ornamental plants available to gardeners in 
California are Evergreen Flowering Shrubs. This group includes 
subjects for every possible position; sun or shade, wet soils and dry. 
The coastal areas, inland valleys and lower mountains can all use 
them. Many have showy flowers, some useful for cutting, while 
some are only grown for their foliage. Many, like Pyracantha, 
Arbutus, etc., make a show in fruits later in the season. 
Following descriptions we give the approximate temperature at 
which the plant is hardy. Use this as a guide only to choose plants 
for the location to be planted. 
AZALEAS 
Priced according to size and variety 
PLANTING OF KURUME AZALEAS 
For sheer beauty the masses of flowers produced by Azaleas in the 
late winter and spring with the end of the Camellia season, are 
unequaled. Quite often rains will threaten the bloom but they 
are a hardy lot and soon recover, showing no damage. They are 
essentially lovers of an acid soil which should possess an excellent 
drainage and quantities of peat. Pure peat, if the beds are large 
enough, would be best. Keep lime in any form away from them, 
even acid fertilizers should be used that are especially prepared 
for Azaleas. Light shade and plenty of water at all times. 
Kurume and Southern Indica Azaleas. We have a good selection. 
INDICA AZALEAS 
These are by far the choicest of the Azalea family with closely 
formed bushy growth, neat dark green leaves and the flowers!

pleasing quality, not gaudy as in some Kurumes (above), often 
blended with other colors and plain or ruffled.
