FOREWORD
Those who have received previous “Garden Aristocrats” (1934, 1935 and 1936) are
familiar with our desire to avoid the usual nursery catalog style. Our idea is to de¬
scribe in each issue as accurately as possible a limited number of the best things, omit
all “ballyhoo” and make the booklet worth saving for reference. It is very gratifying
to observe how many have done this.
By the way, we still have a fair supply of “Garden Aristocrats, 1936” and will
send a copy upon request.
For convenience we have this year divided it into three sections:
Part I is devoted to novelties of very recent introduction, some being offered this
season for the first time.
Part II covers noteworthy plants, some of which are comparatively new.
Part III is simply a price list, without descriptions, of our principal items which
are not covered in the first two parts. It is assumed that these are well
enough known so that we do not need to describe them.
Our attention is devoted almost entirely to woody plants. We again emphasize
the important point that these make up the permanent part of the garden; you live
with them “year in and year out” so why not have the finest things?
It will be a pleasure for us to have you visit our nursery which is located on the
Oakland-San Jose Highway, a little over a mile north of the city limits of San Jose.
Coming down the Peninsula you should cross the Southern Pacific tracks at Santa
Clara S. P. Station; this (Brokaw) road ends at the nursery. When the Bay Shore
Highway is finished to San Jose it will cross the Brokaw Road at the magnificent row
of old Elms. Turn to the left there.
PART I.
BROAD LEAVED EVERGREENS
RED ABELIA (Abelia floribunda). Remarkable for its astonishingly long rosy red
flowers which are IV2 to 2 inches in length and are borne in unbelievable profusion.
Close to the sea it blooms all the year around; otherwise for quite a long period in
spring. In sunny districts it must have at least partial shade and plenty of water. At
first its growth is almost prostrate but later it makes erect but arching shoots which
enable it to gain height gradually, but it will probably never get more than four feet
tall. We do not yet know whether it will be hardy in Oregon and Washington, but it
seems to be anywhere in the settled parts of California. Gal. can 114-2 ft. $1.00, I-IV2
ft. 75c; pot grown 114-2 ft. 60c.
ABUTILON VITIFOLIUM. Grows quickly to a large shrub which bears a profuse
crop of large, bell shaped, light blue flowers up to 314 in. wide. Pot grown 4-6 in. 25c.
ASTER FRUTICOSA. This dainty slender-branched rather compact shrub grows only
about 3 ft. tall and bears a profusion of daisy-
like pinkish lavender flowers in late spring and
early summer. One of those things that are uni¬
versally admired. Pot grown 8-12 in. 50c.
RAFHINIA GALPINI. Unlike the more famil¬
iar Bauhinias, this is a half climbing shrub with
flowers ranging from terra cotta to brick red. It
is from South Africa and we do not yet know
whether it is fully hardy here or not, but it surely
is attractive. Pot grown 6-8 in. 35c.
BOWK ER I A GERRARDIANA. This is a fair¬
ly vigorous South African shrub which may attain
as much as 6-8 ft. The leaves are suggestive of
Heliotrope; flowers are white, tubular and borne
very freely. It is reported to stand considerable
frost. Pot grown 6-8 in. 75c.
BRUNFELSIA MACRANTHA (B. grandiflora).
This is a decided improvement on B. calycina
which is described in the second part of this book¬
let. This form has larger leaves, more open habit,
and much larger flowers up to as much as 214
in. wide. Grafted plants in gal. cans 8-12 in. $1.50.
BLUE ATLAS CEDAR
Cedrus atlantica glauca
2
CALOTHAMNUS RUPESTRIS. This loose
growing shrub has its branches densely covered
with needle like leaves. The flowers are some¬
what like those of “Bottle Brush” with brilliant
crimson stamens. It has the appearance of being
perfectly hardy here. Pot grown 1-114 ft. 60c,
8-12 in. 50c.
CHIRONIA LINOIDES (C. ixifera). This beauti¬
ful little half-shrub is suitable for rock gardens
or for any place in the garden where a small
plant is appropriate. It does not get more than
1 l/4 ft. tail with a compact rounded outline. Leaves
are about like those of carnations. In summer
it literally covers itself with rose pink flowers
about % in. wide. We have noticed that every¬
one who sees this likes it. Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c.
CISTUS CORBARIENSIS. A beautiful addition
to our lists of small evergreen shrubs, which is
attractive at any time for its crinkly foliage and
especially so in spring with its wealth of dainty
pure white flowers with golden stamens. All
who see it admire it. Pot grown 12-15 in. 50c.
CISTUS LADANIFERUS MACULATUS. After many years it develops that the plants
which have masqueraded under this name are really Cistus cyprius. The genuine
article is larger, stronger growing, and with flowers about twice as! wide, up to 3 or
4 in., which also are white with a red blotch at the base of each petal. Pot grown
1-1% ft. 50c, 8-12 in. 25c.
SPOTTED ORCHID ROCKROSE (Cistus purpureus). It is hard to understand why
this beautiful Rockrose which has been popular in England for a century has just
reached California. It is very strong and vigorous and at blooming time practically
covers itself with satiny orchid-colored flowers nearly three inches wide. They have
five petals, each with a deep red spot near the base. We recommend this unreservedly.
Gal. cans 1-1 14 ft. 75c; pot grown 1-1 14 ft. 60c.
CISTUS SILVER PINK. This has recently been imported from England where it
has quickly attained great popularity. It makes a rather compact shrub of only medium
growth with grayish-green leaves. The flowers are superb; of good size and a charm¬
ing silver pink color without any spots at the base of petals. We have an idea that it
will become as popular here as in England. Pot grown 8-12 in. 85c.
CONVOLVULUS CNEORUM. Highly valued for its remarkably beautiful foliage.
The green leaves are well covered with silky white hairs so that the general effect is
glistening silver. This color is maintained throughout the year. The flowers are of
the usual Morning Glory type, a little over an inch wide; white with yellow eye and
pinkish on the outside. It blooms very persistently. Pot grown strong plants 75c,
smaller 30c.
COTONEASTER GLABRATA. This is a vigorous strong growing Cotoneaster which
will probably make a large bush. The leaves are 2 or 3 inches long. When it carries
its crop of bright red berries, it is simply gorgeous. They are produced in large clus¬
ters all along the branches which arch with their weight. Seedlings, pot grown 8-12
in. 50c.
COTONEASTER RUBENS. Imported from France under government permit. Growth
is almost prostrate. Leaves small and evergreen. In a general way it is like C. buxi-
folia, but the red berries have a better color which is developed as early as June.
Grafted plants, pot grown 1-1 14 ft. 75c.
MITCHELL BROOMS (Cytisus hybrids). For more complete information see, in
February, 1936 number of Sunset Magazine, an article by their originator, the well
known horticulturist, Sydney B. Mitchell. Out of a large number of beautiful seedlings
Mr. Mitchell selected the five he considered best and named them for various colleges
in the State. The following are his verbatim descriptions:
CALIFORNIA. Of medium height, about 3 to 4 ft. and rather spreading; stan¬
dards rosy white, reverse rose. Wings glowing rose, deepening to the top of the
keel. Exceptionally attractive and clean in its brilliant pink effect.
POMONA. Very tall and vigorous, running to 8 ft. high with arching stems. Stan¬
dards yellow paling to white, reverse rose. Wings amber orange, keel yellow.
FOUNTAIN DEODAR
Cedrus deodara fontinalis
3
ST. MARY’S. Medium height, spreading. Whole flower pure white.
SAN FRANCISCO. In growth between California and Pomona. Standards rosy
red, reverse somewhat darker. Wings same color, but deepening to rich vel¬
vety red towards the keel. The reddest in effect I have seen, more so than any
of the English or Irish hybrids. Very free flowering with long season.
STANFORD. Quite upright and more rigid in growth than the others. Standards
bronze yellow to flesh, reverse bronze rose. Wings bright orange red, very
prominent golden keel. Quite the largest flower of the set. Mid-season to late.
These brooms bloom so profusely as to show almost no stem when in flower. Flowering
season from March to May.
Cultural Note. When once established these brooms require no summer watering
at all with me. They move very badly indeed after they get growing in the open
ground so should always be sold in pots. I strongly recommend pruning back the
growth which has flowered in May, not only to keep them in good form but to prevent
the heavy setting of seed which tends to weaken the plants and is not beautiful, as the
pods are black. Pot grown 85c (but no California this season.)
NEW EUROPEAN BROOMS. In addition to the Mitchell Brooms, we have imported
from England some of their latest and best varieties.
BURKWOODI. Flowers are almost solid garnet red with no yellow on the standard
and only at the very tips of keel and wings. Plant is erect and vigorous, blooms
freely, and is decidedly precocious. In England this is considered one of the
best hybrids. Pot grown $1.25.
LORD LAMBOURNE. The flowers are a brilliant blend of scarlet, primrose, and
rose-pink; standards are yellow tipped pink, wings deep crimson. Grows only
moderately, but is a free bloomer. Pot grown 85c.
MARIA BURK WOOD. The flowers are remarkably large and have a brilliant
coloring. Standards are red on back, creamy-rose on face, and yellowish at the
base. The wings are reddish-bronze outside, cream within. It is moderately
early and the plant is of spreading habit. This is one of the newest from Eng¬
land where it is held in very high esteem. Grafted, pot grown plants $1.75.
ESCALLONIA DONARDENSIS. This is a quick growing rather slender-branching
shrub which bears a profusion of attractive flowers having the pleasing combination of
pink and white usually termed “appleblossom.” Pot grown 1-114 ft. 50c.
EUCALYPTUS CAESIA. Small tree; grows to only 12 or 15 ft. tall bearing beauti¬
ful pink flowers. Pot grown 142-2 ft. 75c.
EUCALYPTUS GROSSA. Makes a large shrub about 10 ft. tall with dark glossy-
green leaves. The golden-yellow flowers are borne freely. In Australia called Phillips
River Gum. Pot grown 4-6 in. 50c.
EUCALYPTUS NUTANS. Very dwarf and bushy shrub usually not growing over
6-8 ft. tall. Has brilliant red flowers which keep well when cut. Pot grown 4-6 in. 50c.
EUCALYPTUS PREISSIANA. Small tree with very striking lemon-yellow flowers.
Pot grown 4-6 in. 50c.
EUCALYPTUS SEPULCRALIS. This is the
only true weeping Eucalyptus. It will grow
20 to 25 ft. and bears a profusion of yellow
flowers highly decorative both in natural state
when cut. Pot grown 4-6 in. 50c.
EUCALYPTUS TETRAPTERA. Small tree
or large shrub with very leathery, dark leaves
and bearing large, brilliant red flowers. Gal.
can 142-2 ft. $1.00.
EUCALYPTUS TORQUATA. Rather vigorous
grower but making only a small tree with
usual type of foliage. Flowers of good size,
bright red overlaid with gold. Gal. can 24£-3
ft. $1.50.
EUGENIA SMITHI. Known in Australia as
the Lilli Pilli tree. It makes a large shrub or
small tree which is highly esteemed for its
enormous crop of lavender berries. They keep
well when cut and are very beautiful for dec¬
orations. It will probably stand about the
same amount of cold as the other Eugenias;
possibly a little more. Pot grown 6-8 in. 50c.
GREVILLEA OBTUSIFOLIA. Easily one of
the finest ground covers ever introduced. It
PYRAMIDAL ARBORVITAE
Thuja occidentalis pyramidalis

CALIF
lies perfectly flat on the ground, grows rapidly and
covers the ground completely. Leaves are small
and narrow. Even when very young, it blooms pro¬
fusely. Flowers are red and of the same peculiar
shape as all other Grevilleas. It should become
enormously popular as it becomes known. Pot
grown 4-6 in. 60c.
GREVILLEA RGSMARINIFOLIA. An erect
shrub attaining 5 or 6 ft. Habit is bushy and com¬
pact; leaves linear; flowers are pink and white.
Said to withstand as low as 20 degrees fahrenheit.
Pot grown 8-12 in. 75c.
HELIANTHEMITM LASIANTHUM (H. formo-
sum). Low growing shrub with grayish green
leaves. The extremely attractive flowers are form¬
ed like Rockroses but are bright yellow with a red
spot at the base of each petal. Prefers full sun
and will thrive in limy soils. Pot grown 8-12 in.
50c.
ILEX LATIFOLIA. Called “Tarayo” in Japan.
Has remarkably handsome foliage suggesting Eng¬
lish Laurel. Leaves up to 6 inches or more long
and 2 inches wide, rich dark green. Berries red.
This is said to be the finest of the Japanese Hollies
and certainly looks very promising. Gal. can 114 -2
ft. $1.50, 1-114 ft. $1.25; pot grown 8-12 in. 75c, 6-8 in. 60c.
PEItNY HOLLY (Ilex perayi). We again call attention to this gem among the Hollies.
Small, slow growing and dainty in every way. Leaves very small and prickly. The
female plants bear a profuse crop of light, bright red berries. Hardly known in the
gardens as yet, but we cannot recommend it too highly. Grafted female plants; balled
and with berries, 114-2 ft. $2.50; gal. cans 8-12 in. $1.25.
MYRTUS COMMUNIS MINIMA. This is a most minute little dwarf shrub with tiny
leaves. What its ultimate growth may be we can not say but apparently it will take
years to reach any very great size. Pot grown 2-4 in. 60c.
NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA. This is more of a herbaceous perennial than a
shrub and in England it is considered one of the best novelties of recent years. It only
grows 6-8 in. tall and is smothered with flowers 1-114 inches in diameter which are
delicate lavender with a yellow eye. It blooms over a long season. Considered parti¬
cularly fine for rock gardens. Pot grown 25c.
CATALINA TO YON (Photinia arbutifolia macrocarpa). The variety of Toyon or
California Holly which grows on Catalina Island is distinguished by larger leaves, more
vigorous growth and particularly by the larger size of its berries. Pot grown 12-15
in. 50c, 8-12 in. 40c.
ORANGE BERRIED TOYON (Photinia arbutifolia chrysocarpa). Briefly this is a
Toyon with orange-yellow instead of red berries. Our plants are seedlings and can not
be absolutely guaranteed but being grown from yellow berries, they are reasonably
certain to reproduce the type. Pot grown 8-12 in. 50c.
PROTEA COMPACTA. The Proteas are from South Africa and will stand moderate
frost and plenty of heat but do not like limy soil. The flower heads are large and
very peculiarly formed. This form has them about 4 inches long with pink to carmine
bracts. Pot grown 8-12 in. 75c.
PROTEA SUSANNAE. This one has large leaves about 5 inches long and 4 inch
flower heads which were strikingly illustrated on the cover of Sunset Magazine for
June, 1936. Pot grown 2-4 in. 75c.
PSORALEA APHYLLA. One of the “Blue Brooms’’. It is a vigorous upright grower;
branches have green bark and almost no leaves. Flowers are exactly like those of
Broom but light blue and produce over a long season. Pot grown 2-3 ft. 75c.
TURRAEA OBTUSIFOLIA. A small South African shrub which probably will not at¬
tain over 3 ft. in height. The flowers are rather large, star shaped, pure1 white, and
borne in profusion over quite a long season. It probably is very averse to lime in
the soil, but is a beautiful thing where it can be made to grow. Pot grown 8-12 in. $1.00.
VIBURNUM BURKWOODI. This can be briefly described as an evergreen Viburnum
c^rlesi with larger clusters of intensely fragrant flowers. This was mentioned in G.
A. 1936 and we had expected to distribute it this year but although we grew a reason¬
able number of plants, we regard it as such an unusually fine novelty, far out of the
ordinary, that we decided to use the entire stock this year for grafting wood and in-

troduce it on a large scale next season. However, if you want to get started early on
this and are willing to take plants from which grafting wood has been taken, we can
supply a limited number of field grown, balled plants at $2.00 or from 5 in. pots at
$1.25.
FLOWERING FRUIT TREES
FLOWERING APPLE (Malus adstringens). As to the flower of this tree we quote
from a recent bulletin of the Morton Arboretum: “Attention is now focussed on the
Flowering Crabapple collection (Malus in variety). While every species has contributed
generously to the mass color effect, all honors for individual beauty belong to the hy¬
brid form, Malus adstringens, whose soft rose pink fiowers of such a rare shade, have
attracted the notice and admiration of all who have seen it. It is a cross between the
common Apple, M. pumila and the Siberian Crab, M. baccata.” 6-7 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft.
$1.50.
APRICOT Chas. Abraham. All the other flowering apricots are varieties of Prunus
mume but this is a form of Prunus armeniaca from which our orchard apricots are de¬
rived. The very double flowers are borne before the leaves and as they appear serially,
it has a long blooming habit. The blossoms are deep pink shading into pure red on the
outside. Named in honor of the very well known nurseryman and horticulturist, the
late Charles Abraham of San Francisco, who introduced this variety from the Orient
many years ago. We believe, however, that this is the first time it has been offered
generally. 6-7 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft. $1.75, 4-5 ft. $1.50.
AURORA PEACH. A few years ago we selected seed from all our flowering peaches;
grew about 500 seedlings and carried them on until they bloomed. This variety, in our
opinion, was the best of the lot. The flowers are a lovely shade of very soft pink
entirely free from the harsh tones which some profess to find in the other flowering
peaches. It is an extremely free grower. Blooms early in the season und flowers keep
very well indeed when cut. Although a secondary matter, we can add that it bears a
moderate crop of delicious free-stone fruit with white skin and white flesh. While
this variety was under test, we showed the flowers to a good many visitors and found
that is was invariably admired. 6-7 ft. $2.00.
PEACH Blushing Bride. The large saucer shaped flowers are often pure white but
generally are more or less marked with soft rose; occasionally there is a flower which
is entirely rose color. Growth is vigorous and habit very spreading but not drooping.
Quite early. 6-7 ft. $2.00.
DECIDUOUS TREES
CERASUS CAPULI. The seed from which we raised our plants was brought from the
mountains of Equador where it is highly esteemed as a fruiting cherry and is said to
reproduce itself correctly from seed. The leaves are willow-like and so far seem to be
evergreen. We suspect it may be Prunus salicifolia. The foliage and general appear¬
ance is quite attractive and the fruit
should be at least interesting. Gal.
can. 1-1% ft. $1.00.
BOUGAINVILLEA TREE (Koel-
reuteria bipinnata). This is con¬
sidered one of the most showy and
beautiful trees that can be grown
in this climate. Its general appear¬
ance is like that of the common
Golden Rain Tree, K. paniculata, but
it has deeper green, glossier and
more acute leaflets on the very large
leaves which are fully bipinnate.
The yellow flowers are numerous but
small. Its striking feature is the
large bladder like pods which con¬
tain the seeds and assume intensely
brilliant tints in late summer and
early fall. 3-4 ft. $1.50, 2-3 ft. $1.25.
PINK INDIA HAWTHORN
Raphiolepis indica rosea

DECIDUOUS SHRUBS
HORSE CHESTNUT. While generally thought of as
trees the following striking forms are merely shrubs
which start blooming when only a foot or so tall.
AESCULUS DISCOLOR MOLLIS. Blooms in late
spring. Flowers a mixture of yellow and scar¬
let. Grafted plants I-IV2 ft. $1.00.
AESCULUS MUTABILIS. Flowers yellow and
red. Grafted I-IV2 ft. $1.00.
AESCULUS NEGLECT A TOMENTOSA. Flowers
bright red. Grafted I-IV2 ft. $1.00.
DWARF LAVENDER CREPEMYRTLE (Lagerstroe-
mia). This charming variety is sufficiently described
by its name. It makes only a small shrub and blooms
very profusely. Pot grown 12-15 in. 60c.
MERATIA PRAECOX GRANDIFLORA. This is a
rare large flowering form of the plant generally known
as Calycanthus praecox, so greatly esteemed for its
very early and intensely fragrant yellowish flowers
which are among the first to appear in the spring.
4-5 ft. $2.00, 3-4 ft. $1.50.
PHILADELPHUS ATLAS. One of Lemoine’s varieties
recently imported from France. The pure white, usual- long-clustered goldenchain
ly four-petaled flowers are enormous, single and exceed T h ,
21/2 inches wide. This was justly given the Award of
Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. 8-12 in. 85c.
VIBURNUM FRAGRANS. In England this is considered superior even to Viburnum
carlesi which it resembles in its flowers but not in any other particular as it is of slen¬
der, erect habit with entirely different foliage. Here it often starts blooming during
the winter as early as January; occasionally even in the fall. It is a magnificent thing
but scarce and hard to propagate so we are able to offer only small pot grown grafts
about 6 inches tall at $1.25.
WEIGELA. The following varieties were recently imported from France where they
were originated by Lemoine:
IDEAL. Flowers brightly carmine outside and carmine-rose within. Unlike Eva
Rathke it is a well formed rounded shrub and an extremely free bloomer. 8-12
in. $1.00.
MAJESTEUX. Erect and vigorous. The medium sized rose pink flowers are very
freely produced. 8-12 in. $1.00.
CLIMBERS
BILLARDIERA LONGIFLORA. Slender climber highly valued for its large metallic
blue berries. Pot grown 2-2 Ez ft. $1.00.
JASMINUM STEPHANENSE. This recently introduced vine is of extremely vigorous
growth, quickly making an attractive flowering screen. The flowers are soft lavender-
pink and very fragrant. Pot grown 3-4 ft. 75c, l%-2 ft. 50c.
PILEOSTEGIA VIBURNOIDES. This new evergreen vine might be briefly described
as a climbing Laurustinus. Thrives best in full shade where so few vines do well.
Leaves are of good size, leathery, and glossy. White flowers are borne freely in large
clusters in Autumn. Looks very promising. Gal. can l1/2-2 ft. $1.25.
EXTRA LONG CLUSTERED WHITE WISTERIA (Wisteria longissima alba). Last
year we promised to introduce this fine novelty this season. It is by far the longest
clustered white variety we have ever seen, attaining as much as 30 inches in length.
Grafted plants grown one year in the field $2.00.
ROYAL PURPLE WISTERIA. This is being offered now for the first time in this
country. It belongs in the Japanese group but instead of the usual very pale color of
the Japanese types this is a deep purple. This color is far out of the ordinary and is
very striking. The foliage is also noteworthy, being dark green and somewhat glossy,
looking almost evergreen. Fortunately it blooms much younger than most of the
Japanese varieties so buyers should not have to wait long to see the flowers. This
year we are unable to supply anything except grafts which were made last spring and
will not of course be very large. $2.00 each.

PART II.
CONIFERS
COMPACT DEODAR (Cedrus deodara compacta). The common Deodar is easily one of
our finest trees but as it is extremely variable and soon attains great size it is unsuit¬
able for ordinary grounds. On the other hand this charming variety is much more
compact, very silvery and grows only about half as fast. Furthermore, its “leader” is
always perfectly straight and erect which is so rarely the case in the common form.
Being grafted there is no variation. Where space is limited it is one of the best out¬
door Christmas trees. Balled 7-8 ft. $8:00, 5-6 ft. $5.50, 4-5 ft. $4.00; gal. can 2-3 ft.
$1.00; pot grown 1*4-2 ft. 75c.
FOUNTAIN DEODAR (Cedrus deodara fontinalis). A gem for those who appreciate
the unusual. The most striking variant of the Deodar, it produces a mass of very
long, slender, drooping, rope-like branches which give it a unique fountain-like appear¬
ance. The illustration of the original tree tells more than a longer description. Balled
6-7 ft. $7.00, 5-6 ft. $5.50, 4-5 ft. $4.50: gal. can 3-4 ft. $2.00; pot grown l%-2 ft. $1.00,
1-1% ft. 75c.
FLETCHER CYPRESS (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana fletcheri). This is hardly known
at all but it is a beauty. A large shrub, not a tree. Foliage is finely cut, lacy and rich
silvery blue. It does not seem to thrive in full sun here but does admirably in partial
or moderate shade. Balled 2-3 ft. $3.50; pot grown 1-1% ft. 85c.
CRIPPS CYPRESS (Chamaecyparis obtusa crippsi). An intensely golden, shrubby
conifer with rather fine graceful foliage. Its growth is not rapid and it probably will
not attain any very great size. One of the best of its color. Balled 2-2*4 ft. $2.50;
pot grown 1-1% ft. $1.25.
HOLLYWOOD JUNIPER (Juniperus chinensis torulosa). One of our finest conifers
which thrives well from Canada to the Mexican border. Color is one of the richest
greens seen in any conifer; growth often narrowly erect or sometimes furnished with
long branches near the base which can be removed if narrow form is desired. In any
case the trunk is never like a pole but always gracefully waVy or slightly twisted,
which is the reason for the varietal name “torulosa”. In Japan where it is known as
Kaizuka Juniper it is becoming one of their most popular conifers and will unquestion¬
ably do the same here Balled 7-8 ft. $8.00, 5-6 ft. $5.00, 4-5 ft. $4.00, 3-4 ft. $3.00; gal.
can 1-1% ft. $1.00
MEYER JUNIPER (Juniperus squamata meyeri). Although we have described this
in previous editions it will do no harm to call attention again to such a splendid new¬
comer which seems to be almost universally admired. Like the preceding variety it
is of somewhat irregular growth which frees it from any suggestion of stiffness. Color
is a striking blend of gray and silver with a slight violet shading during the winter
months. Bailed 2%-3 ft. $3.00, 2-2% ft. $2.50, l%-2 ft. $2.00; gal. can 1-1% ft. $1.25.
DWARF ALBERTA SPRUCE (Picea glauca conica). A delightful miniature tree
whose growth is so exceedingly slow that it does not make more than an inch or two
a year. Always retains a slender conical shape and is highly attractive in rock gar¬
dens and other suitable locations. Balled
12-15 in. $4.00, 10-12 in. $3.50, 8-10 in.
$3.00.
HIMALAYAN WEEPING SPRUCE
(Picea smithiana). A rare and very
striking conifer. Its main growth is
perfectly erect but the branches and
branchlets are decidely drooping. Foliage
is somewhat silvery. Quite rare. Balled
1-1% ft. $2.00.
SILVER REDWOOD (Sequoia semper-
virens argentea). A very rare form of
Coast Redwood having brightly silver
colored foliage. Grows as vigorously as
common Redwood and contrasts pleas¬
ingly when planted with it. Gal. can
3-4 ft. $2.00, 2-3 ft. $1.50; pot grown
1-1% ft. 85c.
smooth roseacacia BLUE REDWOOD (Sequoia sempervi-
Robinia hispida macrophyiia rens glauca). This natural variety is of-
s
ten seen in the Santa Cruz Moun¬
tains but rarely in the northern
range of the Redwood. Foliage has '
a pronounced bluish tint making it
less somber than the common type.
Gal. can 3-4 ft. $1.50; pot grown
1-1% ft. 75c.
GOLDEN IRISH YEW (Taxus bac-
cata fastigiata aurea). An exact
counterpart of the well known Irish
Yew except that in spring and early
summer the leaves are brilliantly
variegated with gold. Balled 5-6 ft.
$7.50, 4-4% ft. $6.00, 3-3 % ft. $4.50.
SPREADING GOLDEN YEW (Tax-
us baccata repandens aurea). An
excellent conifer of decidedly pros¬
trate habit. Has the typical Yew
foliage which is strongly golden in
the spring but becomes green in the
latter part of the season. Grows slowly.
$1.25, 6-8 in. 75c.
SAUCER MAGNOLIA
Magnolia soulangeana
Very fine for roch gardens. Balled 8-12 in.
BROAD LEAVED EVERGREEN SHRUBS
FRAGRANT ABELIA (Abelia triflora). Grows tall and slender with arching branches.
Bears dense terminal clusters of long-tubed nearly pure white flowers whose intense
fragrance resembles Bouvardia. Pot grown l%-2 ft. 65c.
WINTER-SWEET (Acokanthera spectabilis). This rare shrub has leathery purple
leaves and large clusters of very fragrant flowers. It isn’t any too hardy but can
withstand light frosts outside or is suitable for conservatory culture. Pot grown 4-6
in. 50c.
WARTY BARBERRY (Berberis verruculosa). Why such an unpleasant name should
have been wished on this delightful shrub is more than we can see. If it has warts
they are not in evidence! Of slow growth and makes a compact shrub. Leaves small
and holly-like, very silvery beneath. Some plants take on a strong bronze hue as win¬
ter approaches; others display many leaves colored brilliant red. Bears a good crop
of golden yellow flowers in early spring. Pot grown 8-12 in. 50c, 6-8 in. 40c.
BORONIA ELATIOR. This charming little plant seems to have no common name.
Foliage is very finely cut and also very fragrant. Flowers are produced very profusely
over a long period in early summer. They are rose colored and look exactly like rather
large heather blooms. In fact the plant could be mistaken for a heather, but is totally
unrelated and neither requires nor likes acid soil. It is very dainty and attractive.
Pot grown 8-12 in. 60c, 6-8 in. 50c.
BRUNFELSIA FLORIBUNDA (B. calycina). This shrub is really a wonder. Foliage
is about the size and shape of California Privet. Growth slow and generally upright.
The flowers are about the size and shape of Vinca and are borne in the greatest pro¬
fusion through spring and early summer with a scattering crop the rest of the year
except during the cold months. When the buds are fully opened the flowers are deep
violet. Each flower lasts about a week and in this period slowly changes to pure white
with the result that when in bloom the shrub always shows violet, lavender and white
flowers at the same time. This would be plenty, but “for good measure,” it also has
a delightfully rich and powerful fragrance which will perfume an entire garden. Curi¬
ously the fragrance intensifies as the color lightens. It is of slow growth and will
probably remain scarce for a good many years. Gallon can 2-2% ft. $1.75, l%-2 ft.
$1.50.
CAMELLIA. We carry quite a stock of these beautiful plants but there is such a wide
variation in size and varieties that we cannot list them in detail here. Prices on balled
plants carrying flower buds range from $1.50 to $10.00 each.
CHORIZEMA CORDATUM. Although “Hortus” says this is the same as the well
known C. ilicifolium we find it distinct. Leaves are rounded and more or less heart-
shaped. The Pea shaped flowers are similiar but have a more scarlet effect. Pot
grown 4-6 in. 25c.
y
NECKLACE COTONEASTER (Cotoneaster decora). Growth is low and spreading, al¬
most prostrate. Leaves are very small, about like those of Lonicera nitida and ever¬
green. Berries are bright red, of good size and born all along the slender branches.
A rather shy bearer at first but later it loads itself with enormous crops. Balled 3-4
ft. wide $3.00, 154-2 ft. wide $1.50; pot grown 8-12 in. 50c.
ROSE QUEEN DAPHNE. This is a distinct variety of the old favorite Pink Daphne
of California gardens. Leaves are dark green with no variegation. Flowers are larger
than in the common yellow-edged form, have the usual rich fragrance, are deep rose
outside, light pink within and produced in much larger clusters. Also the plant is of
more compact habit. Very fine. Balled 18-24 in. $3.50, 15-18 in. $2.50, 12-15 in. $2.25;
gal. can 6-8 in. $1.00; pot grown 4-6 in. 75c.
GOLDENLEAF ELEAGNUS (Eleagnus pungens maculata). The common Eleagnus
with slight variegation around the edges is common and not particularly esteemed.
This is decidedly different as all the central part of leaves is golden yellow with green
margin. It is very difficult to propagate so is rare and no large stock available at
this time. Gal. can 114-2 ft. $1.00, 1-1 14 ft. 75c; pot grown 1-114 ft. 60c.
BANANA SHRUB (Michelia fuscata). This has been a favorite for many years but
being difficult to propagate always has been and still is very scarce. It is of very
slow growth, does not like full sun and bears small Magnolia-like flowers which are
yellow marked with ruddy brown. These have a strong but very agreeable banana¬
like fragrance. Balled 1-114 ft. $2.50; pot grown 8-12 in. 85c, 6-8 in. 75c.
ORANGE JASMINE (Murraea exotica). Related to and slightly resembles Choisya.
Growth is slower and leaves and leaflets smaller. Bears fragrant white flowers follow¬
ed by clusters of red berries. It blooms very freely over a good portion of the pear.
Pot grown 6-8 in. 60c.
ROGERS ORANGE FIRETHORN (Pyracantha rogersiana aurantiaca). Berries are
orange not red, borne all along the slender, long, willowy branches which, the second
year, bear clear to the tips. This point makes this Firethorn about the best of all
berry bearing plants as a source of cut material for decoration. Flowers are white and
borne so profusely that it would be worth planting as a good flowering shrub even if
it never fruited at all. Cutting the berried branches is beneficial to the plant as this
leaves the way clear for the new wood to bear in turn the following year. 5 gal. can
3-4 ft. $2.00; gal. can 3-4 ft. $1.25, 2-3 ft. $1.00, 154-2 ft. 85c; pot grown 2-3 ft. 85c,
154-2 ft. 75c.
RHODODENDRONS, We have a nice stock of Pink Pearl and other grafted varieties.
Excellent plants well set with flower buds from $3.35 to $7.00.
SKIMMIA JAPONICA. A very dwarf and slow growing Japanese plant which re¬
quires both shade and acid soil. The male plants have attractive white flowers which
are as fragrant as Lily of the Valley. The female plants bear a fine crop of orange-red
berries. Pot grown 8-12 in. $1.00, 6-8 in. 75c, 4-6 in. 60c.
SPARMANNIA AFRICANA. Grows very rapidly and makes a large shrub. It is re¬
lated to the Lindens and has somewhat similiar foliage. Produces a fairly good crop
of white flowers in clusters. Entire effect is quite tropical. Pot grown 154-2 ft. 50c.
TEMPLETONIA RETUSA. Australian shrub of unusual appearance. Belongs to the
pea family and has long slender red flowers. Gal. can 8-12 in. 75c.
DECIDUOUS TREES
DAVIDIA INVOLUCRATA. This is the famous and extremely rare Dove Tree of
China. We have only a very few plants; 20 in. $10.00, 12 in. $7.50, 10 in. $6.00, 8 in.
$4.00.
RED HORSECHESTNUT (Aesculus). It seems to us that the Horsechestnuts are not
planted as widely as they should be in California. The red or pink forms are particu¬
larly esteemed as they make trees of medium size which in spring are covered with
showy erect panicles which contrast beautifully with the deep green leaves. Growth is
rather slow. Top grafted 4-5 ft. $3.00; seedlings 3-4 ft. $1.25, 2-3 ft. $1.00.
PURPLE LEAVED BEECH. We have some very fine trees this season not only in
the usual erect type but also in the very rare weeping form at prices ranging from
$5.00 to $20.00 for erect and $7.50 to $10.00 for weeping.
LONG-CLUSTERED GOLDEN CHAIN (Laburnum vossi). A small tree with green
bark and foliage like exaggerated clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden yellow and
formed exactly like those of Wisteria. The hanging clusters attain as much as 18 to
20 inches length and are borne very profusely in late spring. Very beautiful and even
the smallest size will usually bloom the first year. Having a large stock we are
making unusually low prices this season. 8-10 ft. $2.50, 6-8 ft. $2.00, 3-4 ft. $1.00.
in
SMOOTH ROSE-ACACIA (Robinia hispida macro-
phylla). Also called Large Flowering Pink Locust.
To make a tree it has to be top-grafted on suitable
straight stems. Bears a great profusion of large clus¬
ters of flowers in late spring. Individually they are
exactly like large lavender-pink sweet peas. They al¬
ways bloom the first season planted and every spring
thereafter. When young the trees look somewhat arti¬
ficial but as the head develops this effect entirely dis¬
appears and the result is a beautiful round headed tree
with a perfectly straight trunk. We have them with
heads of various ages and development and on stems
of different height as shown in the following price
schedule:
extra heavy heavy
heads heads
8 ft. stem . $6.00 .
7 ft. stem . 5.00 $3.50
6 ft. stem . 4.00 3.00
5 ft. stem . 2.50
At first the heads balance better with the shorter stems
but this is only temporary and in the long run the taller
stems are far better. We also have specimen trees
from $7.50 to $10.00 each.
JAPANESE MAPLES (Acer palmatum vars.). We
have an excellent stock of much finer plants of Purple
Leaved Japanese Maples than are usually available in
both the finely cut-leaved and broader leaved forms. Prices range from $4.00 to $15.00.
DECIDUOUS SHRUBS
MAGNOLIA MACROPHYLLA. This large shrub or small tree is a native of the
South-Eastern States and is probably the most striking tree that can be grown in the
temperate climates. The huge leaves are sometimes almost 3 ft. long and over a foot
wide. The flowers are proportionately large, commonly a foot across and sometimes
up to 18 or 20 inches wide. Stock limited. Gal. can 1%- 2 ft. $2.00.
JAPANESE FLOWERING QUINCES
(Chaenomeles, formerly called Cydonia.)
Few are aware of the great range of types and colors found in these beautiful and very
early blooming plants. No matter how small, they usually bloom from first season on.
CORAL GLOW (Ch. japonica corallina). One of our finest kinds. Growth moderate
and will not get as large as the common form. Habit somewhat spreading so will usual¬
ly be about as wide as tall. An extremely heavy bloomer sometimes covering the bush
almost completely with its beautiful coral or salmon-apricot colored flowers. 3-4 ft.
$1.50, 2-3 ft. $1.25, l%-2 ft. $1.00, 1-1% ft. 75c.
JAPANESE SCARLET (Ch. lagenaria). The old favorite and really rose pink. 4-6
ft. $1.25, 1-1% ft. 60c.
BLOOD RED (Ch. lagenaria rubra grandiflora). Very early, very large flowers, deep
red. 1-1% ft. 75c, 8-12 in. 60c.

General Collection
Customers will please confine their orders to the sizes specified. Lilacs are very scarce
this season so it will be well to state whether we may substitute the nearest available
thing in case we should be sold out of any particular item. More complete descriptions

CLIMBERS
EVERGREEN WISTERIA (Lonchocarpus sp.). This is a remarkable vine which instead
of blooming in the spring has an extremely heavy crop of deep purple colored flowers
in late fall. In very mild climates it probably continues to bloom through the winter
but here it is finally stopped by severe frost before all the buds have opened. It seems
to be plenty hardy enough for our district. Freezing often causes it to drop a good
proportion of its leaves although it is probably perfectly evergreen in Southern Cali¬
fornia. Gal. can I-IV2 ft. $1.50.
SNAIL VINE (Fhaseolus caracalla). An old favorite which is scarce. The very large
pea shaped flowers are coiled in a peculiar manner which accounts for the common
name. They are cream color marked with purple and very fragrant. Pot grown 2*4-3
ft. $1.00, 2-2*4 ft. 75c.
WISTERIAS
We believe we grow the most complete collection in this country. Varieties were very
completely described in “Garden Aristocrats 1936” (copy will be sent on request). All
our stock is grafted. Sizes available for each variety are indicated by letters. “From
beds” indicates bench grafts made last spring; 1 year, 2 year, etc., shows how long these
have been grown in the nursery rows.

STANDARD WISTERIAS
These are grown like Standard Roses but with a taller stem, about 4*4 to 5 ft. This
method prevents the growth of long climbing shoots and makes them bloom tremendous¬
ly as illustration shows. Nothing is more beautiful in a garden. The “heavy” stock
consists of strong plants several years old.
The “regular” stock has strong stems and well developed heads.
The “light” stock is simply a start in the right direction but with stem of full height
and head commencing to form.

SPECIMEN PLANTS. We have a large number of beautiful specimen plants in vari¬
ous lines, some in containers, others in open ground. As it is not practical to include
them here, prices on such material will be quoted upon request, but the best way is to
come to the nursery and see them if at all possible.
OTHER PLANTS. If you are looking for anything in woody plants and do not find
it in this Booklet, we suggest that you inquire of us as we have many things in rather
limited quantities, some of them very scarce, which are not mentioned herein.
