HEATHER 
HEAVENLY BAMBOO 
Nandina domestica. Not really a bamboo 
but the foliage does resemble a small 
Bamboo in many ways. Leaves light green 
tipped with pink and copper in early 
spring, becoming vivid red in autumn. 
Large showy clusters of bright crimson 
berries. 
FIRETHORN (Pyracantha) 
These are strong growing shrubs with 
erect or spreading branches and narrow 
dark green leaves and clusters of white 
flowers in spring. The real glory of these 
shrubs is the colorful abundance of ber- 
ries in fall and winter. 
Red Berried. Bright 
glossy green foliage. 
red berries and 
Lalandi. Vigorous variety with pure or- 
ange-red berries in large profuse clusters. 
Fruits very early with the berries matur- 
ing in summer. 
LAURESTINUS 
Viburnum Tinus, Laurestinus. A rounded 
shrub with deep green oval leaves and 
a great profusion of flat clusters of white 
flowers in early spring. The pink cast of 
the unopened buds lend another note of 
color. A vigorous growing shrub. 
VIBURNUM TINUS, LAURESTINUS 
HEATHER 
Heathers are among the most desirable 
of the low growing shrubs for Pacific 
Northwest Gardens. A proper selection 
will give you blooms almost the year 
around. The double forms of Scotch 
Heather bloom in the summer and are 
choice for cut flowers. The Irish Bell 
Heather also blooms in summer; both 
purple and white kinds are available. 
The various forms of Erica vagans, the 
Cornish Heath, produce their brilliant 
flowers in late summer and should not 
be overlooked. For winter and early 
spring blooms we recommend Erica car- 
nea in one or more of the pink forms, 
planted in combination with Springwood 
White. We usually have a number of the 
better kinds on hand. 
Heathers are especially recommended for 
planting in low moist ground in sunny 
situations where they will thrive with lit- 
tle care and produce blooms in greatest 
profusion. Also they are ideal for plant- 
ing under windows where their low habit 
and cheery bloom are always pleasing. 
Erica Mediterranean Hybrid. Vigorous 
but compact fine leaved shrub with 
masses of pink flowers all through the 
winter and into spring. 
KALMIA 
Kalmia latifolia. Mountain Laurel. A 
shrub of moderate growing habit, which 
bears clusters of pink blooms like in- 
verted umbrellas in mid-spring. The fo- 
liage is attractive the year around. Does 
best in light shade. An altogether choice 
and desirable shrub. 
MEXICAN ORANGE 
Choisya ternata. Bright green three- 
parted foliage on neat rounded shrub of 
good proportions. Grows readily in sun 
or shade. Clusters of fragrant white flow- 
ers in spring. 
PERNETTYA 
Pernettya mucronata. This sprightly shrub 
is covered with small shiny leaves and 
earries clusters of brightly colored ber- 
ries. Available in various colors. May 
be kept very compact by trimming. Re- 
quires a pollenizer. 
PHOTINIA 
Photinia Serrulata, Chinese Photinia. 
Large, broad toothed leaves which often 
assume pretty red or bronze tints, espe- 
cially when young or during cold weather. 
Large flat clusters of white flowers in 
April and May followed by red berries. 
Photinia glabra. Smaller leaved than the 
above, but with equally vivid coloring. 
The new leaves are glowing coppery scar- 
let, changing in color to copper, bronze 
and deep green as the season progresses. 
We suggest frequent pruning to form a 
compact bush. 
SKIMMIA 
Skimmia japonica. Useful low shrub for 
shade with attractive foliage. White star 
shaped flowers followed by clusters of 
large bright red berries. Requires a pol- 
lenizer. 
STRANSVAESIA 
Spreading shrub. The new leaves are 
bronzy, maturing to a soft green. Flowers 
white, followed by red berries in clusters, 
giving color throughout the winter. 
VIBURNUM 
Viburnum burkwoodi. The glory of this 
shrub is its clusters of pink and white 
fragrant flowers in earliest spring. Al- 
most evergreen, although it will drop 
some of its foliage in cold weather. 
Viburnum davidi. A very handsome ever- 
green of low growth with unusually dis- 
tinctive dark green ribbed leaves. Attrac- 
tive pinkish-white flowers in summer. 
Thrives in sun or light shade. Plant at the 
terrace edge, along walks, by doorways. 
VERONICA 
Veronica Autumn Beauty. Low tidy plant 
with cone shaped clusters of bright laven- 
der-blue flowers in summer. Will bloom 
until frost if the spent flowers are 
pruned off.
