Nurseries (Horticulture) California Santa Barbara Catalogs; Tropical plants Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. Semi-Tropical Fruits, Trees, and Plants i5. Araucaria excelsa. (See page 14.) SANSEVIERA ZEYLANICA. (The Bow- String\Hemp.) Native of Ceylon, and cultivated to a large extent for its fibre. Leaves are long and sword-shaped, of an ash color, mottled crosswise with white. 50 cts. XANTHORRH/EA HASTILE. fijj Known in Australia, to which country it is indigenous, as Black Boys, Grass Gum Tree, etc. They are very curious, and with age produce stout stems from six feet and upwards, supporting on their summits a large crown of grassy leaves. A gum is obtained from the stem. Small plants, 50 cts. each. WATER LILIES AND AQUATIC PLANTS. Miniature water gardens and little ponds set in green lawns gives one of the most pleasing effects to the landscape and grounds of our California homes, no matter how large or how small, as a little water gives relief to the eye that has necessarily become tired by the brown and dust of our summers. Half barrels or tubs can be used, sunken below the surface of the ground, and filled with rich earth and cow manure; or ones of a larger size are easily con- structed with cobble stones and cement at a nominal cost. I give below a few of the varieties that do the best here: Nymphaea odorata. The fragrant White Water Lily. 50 cts. each. N. odorata rosea. Pink Water Lily of Cape Cod. A good bloomer and very fra- grant. $2 each. N. Marliacea chromatella. A very fine variety; fragrant and a bright yellow color. Strong plants, $ each. N. Devoniensis. Perhaps the handsomest of all the Water Lilies, so far as coloring goes; blossoms dark red and of largesize. $2 each. N. Zanzibarensis. An African variety. Flowers very large and a deep blue color. $5 Please note that these images are extracted from scann
