THE CARISSA, OR NATAL PLUM. 
This is one of the best hedge plants for south Florida, and as an ornamental is worthy of a place 
in every garden. Its white, waxy flowers have the fragrance of the jasmine, and its scarlet fruits, 
which are here shown natural size, make an excellent sauce or jelly. The Carissa comes from 
South Africa. (Fig. 36)
