Geraldton Wax Flowers are ideal for arrangements California Lilacs It is easy to have these native California lilacs with their delicate blue flower spikes and their refreshing fragrance in your garden. They thrive most anywhere in well drained soil and full sun. CeanothlJS gloMoSUS Point Reyes Ceanotbus A low, dense mat of glossy evergreen foliage, becoming 6 to 8 feet across. In late spring it carries masses of bright lavender-blue flowers, very fragrant and lovely. In Southern California it does best in light shade, with plenty of moisture. In the coastal areas north of Santa Barbara it will grow in full sun. 16°. 5065—Gal. tins, $1.75. Ceanothus La Primavera A new hybrid wild lilac from Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens. Early in spring the 8-foot plant carries many large, long spikes of very deep rich blue flowers, exceedingly fragrant. A handsome compact plant which seems long-lived and easy to grow. 12°. 5070-Gal. tins, $3.00. Ceanothus griseus Deep Blue Wild Lilac One of the finest of the California Wild Lilacs because of the richness of the deep blue color and the intense fragrance of the flowers. Easy- to-grow and long-lived. Dry soil. 6 ft. 10°. 5075—Gal. tins, $1.50. 5076—5-gal. tins, $4.75. Carpenteria Californica Fragrant Carpenteria One of the most handsome of California native flowering plants, with large good-looking foliage. The single, white, 5-petaled flowers, 2 to 2Vl inches across, look like waxy camellia blooms and they are borne in such profusion as to make the plant look like a mound of snow. They are exceedingly lovely in form and texture and are very fragrant. Although the plant does not mind hot weather, it does best in part shade under filtered sunlight with good drainage. 6 ft. 15°. 5050—Gal. tins, $2.00. Caiiistemon Red Chico FirefallBush With this showy plant in your garden, you'll have a real Fourth of July display, for the 4-inch flowers, in a brilliant, vivid shade of red, hang down from the arching branches like little, glowing, red fires. The plant grows 6 to 8 feet in height, is open and graceful in habit. It is really a hot number during the blooming season from April to July. Full sun. 15°. 4970-Gal. tins, $1.50. 4971—5-gal. tins, $4.75. Caiiistemon viminalis Scarlet Bottle Bush No plant will provide a magnificent show of brilliant scarlet color more easily than this tall, slender, semi-weeping, rapid growing shrub which covers itself in the spring with great masses of cascading scarlet blooms, 4 inches long. Grows easily anywhere. Full sun. 15 ft. 15°. 4975—Gal. tins, $1.25. 4976-5-gal. tins, $4.25. Sweetly fragrant flowers of Brunfelsia, see page 41

Cassia artemisioides Feathery Cassia The finely cut silvery-grey foliage makes a perfect background for the clear yellow sweet-scented flowers which look like big yellow bumble-bees perched all over the plant. It needs little water, likes plenty of sunshine, thriving in Arizona and other desert sections as well as near the coast. Full sun. 8 ft. 15°. 5055-Gal. tins, $1.25. 5056-5-gal. tins, $4.25. Cassia Splendida Golden Wonder We are very enthusiastic about this large shrub, which is spreading, much branched, and becomes 6 to 8 feet in height and as much across. From November to January it bears spectacular quantities of big golden yellow flowers at a time when it is difficult to get bright color in the garden. Does well both on the coast and inland. Although fairly large, it is compact in shape and fits into almost any sunny spot. 8 ft. Full sun. 20°. 5060— Gal. tins, $1.25. 5061—5-gal. tins, $4.25. CeratOStigma willmottianum Chinese Plumbago A fine blue flowering shrub of medium size which never fails to produce a bounteous crop of flowers in the deepest and richest shade of blue you can imagine. It grows with ease anywhere in sun or shade and in any type of soil. Flowers continuously from June to December and is one of the very best blue flowered shrubs we know. In colder sections it drops its leaves in winter, but it should be pruned back wherever planted, anyway. 3 to 4 ft. 15°. 5095-Gal. tins, $1.50. 5096-5-gal. tins, $4.75. Ceratostigma plumbaginoides Dwarf Blue Plumbago A dwarf, spreading plant (6 to 8 inches) which is welcome anywhere in the garden for its flowers of intense blue. Blooms during summer and fall. See page 66. Sun or semi-shade. 15°. 5090—Gal. tins, $1.00. 42
