          EUGENIA UNIFLORA. Pitanga,
or Surinam Cherry. Shrub of the
Myrtle family, already grown in
California and Florida as the Surinam 
Cherry. Its dark evergreen foliage, 
freedom from disease and showy
red fruits, make it a very promising
plant for hedge production. The fruit
is used in Brazil for making sherbets,
jams, and preserves. A delicious fruit
when thoroughly ripe.

37541. EUONYMUS SP. From
Nan to tchu, near Sianfu, China,
through Frank N. Meyer. Variety of
Cardinal's Cap, climbing against walls
and tree trunks. Leaves glossy green
and bronze-red, persistent through
winter. Stands some shade but will
grow in full sun. Of value as a wall
cover plant for the base of city houses
in mild-wintered regions.

37140. FICUS MACROPHYLLA. 
Moreton Bay Fig. From
Brisbane, Australia, through E. C.
Joss. Perhaps the grandest avenue
tree in Australia. A large-leaved,
evergreen fig tree, which has already
proven itself adapted to California
conditions. In poor soil it is a slow
grower, but, nevertheless, it is worth
planting for avenue purposes. Should
be tested in south Florida.
