It’s Time For...

deep blue scentless form of the Yesterday, 
Today and Tomorrow which doesn't grow 
so large as it's better known relative, Brun- 
felsia floribunda. The Brunfelsias appreci- 
ate part shade, a bit of acid and lots of 
water. 
Two unusual golden-flowered subjects are 
now available in one-gallon cans—bushy 
Kalanchoe coccinea, with yellow blooms 
now, atop red-edged green foliage ($1.50); 
and Wachendorfia thyrsiflora, a new tu- 
berous plant from South Africa destined 
to bring bold color to contemporary and 
tropic-toned plantings. The pleated, sword- 
shaped leaves will form a two or three-

PSEUDOPANAX II

leathery, dark green foliage, bushy habit, 
great frost resistance and contemporary 
pattern, to say nothing of its never-a-dull- 
moment leaf structure! Present size and 
shape of leaves is about four inches and 
three to five fingered, size to be doubled 
in a year. Our plant is not demanding 
about soil, prefers a little afternoon shade. 
Just ask for Pseudopanax ferox — or 
crassifolium or discolor — better still, bring 
this issue with you! The price is $5 in five 
gallon cans. M.E.

the Evans and Reeves exhibit. If you didn't, 
we want to tell you about it; (if you did, 
we know you will pardon our pardonable 
pride). What we tried to do; or may we 
say, we succeeded in doing, was to demon- 
strate that outdoor living in a California 
garden can be pleasant for both the 
grown-ups and the youngsters at the same 
time and together. 
Here was a neat, but comfortable ter- 
race adjoining a neat, but exciting garden 
-and right on the other side of an attrac- 
tive redwood grille was Junior in a neat, 
but engrossing play yard, complete with 
sand box, pool, toy cupboards and a gar- 
den of his own. The lovely textured, wired 
sapling screens protected all from both 
the wind and the next-door neighbor. Be- 
ing great believers in vitamins and chloro- 
phyll for the small fry, we even had a 
miniature vegetable garden for Junior. (It's 
much easier to get him to eat raw carrots 
that way.) 
Designed by our Eric Armstrong and 
executed by our landscape department, 
the whole idea was to demonstrate how 
you, too, can enjoy outdoor living in com- 
plete comfort in your own garden where 
you can keep an eye on Junior, who is also 
enjoying outdoor living! J.E.
