Description
Excerpt from Stately Homes of California
One wonders what seed of purely ornamental trees and ?owers these Spanish priests brought in their pockets for their own spiritual delight and to assuage their nostalgia? The Italian cypress seems to have heen widely planted from the first, and the Oleander, and the rough Castilian rose, and our common horehound, covering all our foothills, is said to be an estray from the priest''s old garden of simples.
