being an everbloomer tlian any other 

 flhrub I have ever seen. It is a neat, 

 compact, rather slow-growing shrub, 

 does not seem particular as to soil or 

 location, and is covered during the 

 entire growing season with beautiful 

 pinkish-white flowers. There has not 

 been a day during all of last spring, 

 summer and up to the present time that 

 our plants have not been a mass of 

 blossoms, and I understand that when 

 Abelia grandiflora is treated as a pot 

 plant it will flower all winter. It is 

 not new. I knew this plant twenty- 

 five years ago in southern Texap, but 

 only during the last year or two has 

 it been grown in northern Texas. I 

 suppose that on account of its being 

 difficult to propagate and of slow 

 growth, nurserymen have not taken 

 hold of it. Naturally it would have to 

 bring a higher price than other shrubs, 

 but when the trade once knows its 

 value, there will be no trouble in get- 

 ting the price. v_^^ 



Two Qood Buddlelas. 



Buddleia variabilis Veitchiana and B. 

 magnifica have created almost a sensa- 

 tion wherever grown. The old variety, 

 Lindleyana, has been known for many 

 years, but is not especially attractive, 

 as neither foliage nor flower is particu- 

 larly pretty. Lindleyana has to its 

 credit, however, hardiness, vigor of 

 growth, adaptability to almost all con- 

 ditions, and a free-flowering habit. The

new varieties have all these good quali- 

 ties and, in addition, have heavy, hand- 

 some foliage. During the summer and 

 fall they produce an abundance of 

 flowers in panicles four inches wide and 

 ten or twelve inches long. The plants 

 are fulj and graceful in their habit. 

 Not the least of their attractions is 

 their fascination for butterflies, the 

 plants sometimes being covered with 

 swarms of these beautiful insects of all 

 colors and sizes. It has appropriately 

 been named the Butterfly Bush. B. 

 Veitchiana has flowers almost white, 

 slightly tinted with lavender, and B. 

 magnifica has rich, purplish-violet 

 flowers. There are several other new 

 varieties of buddleias; they promise to 

 be a useful family of shrubs. 



Berberis Trifollata. 



Berberis trifoliata, an evergreen 

 shrub, is a native of southwest Texas. 

 The leaves are three to five-lobed, of a 

 dark glaucous green, with a beautiful 

 metallic luster. It is four to six feet 

 high, bushy, and as a single specimen 

 assumes a compact and handsome form.

It can be planted to advantage in 

 masses or used as a hedge. In spring 

 it is covered with bright red berries. 

 Being a native of west Texas, it is, of 

 course, extremely hardy. 



Salvia Greggil. 



Salvia Greggii is another native 

 shrub of southwest Texas. This was 

 introduced three years ago, but we can 

 hardly class it as little known. It is 

 being planted by the thousands, from 

 the Atlantic to the Pacific, and even in 

 Europe, and has already become a 

 standard shrub. Its bright, pleasing 

 color, its freedom of bloom, its hardi- 

 ness, the ease with which it is propa- 

 gated and grown, make it a general 

 favorite wherever known. 



Double-Flowering Almond. 



Double-flowering almond was the fa- 

 vorite of our grandmothers' gardens. 

 It is so old that it is almost forgotten. 

 This almond |s becoming popular again 

 and many are glad to know that it is 

 being offered by nurserymen. The old, 

 slow way of propagating it by suckers
