Ornamental Flowering Shrubs. 



Crape Myrtle. Lagerstraemia Indica. —

 delicate flowered Lagerstraemias; uni- 

 varsal favorites in the South, and deserv- 

 edly so. Deciduous shrubs, hardy in the 

 Southern States, and producing thorough- 

 out the summer great clusters of delicate- 

 ly fringed flowers. In Florida and the 

 South the Crape Myrtle takes the place 

 of the lilac so common in the North. 

 Makes the most charming flowering 

 hedge known. A success with every one.

 lovely. A most desirable sort, $1,00; 



large plants, $2.00; extra large plants, 

 $3.50.

 mense quantities of bloom of a rich 

 purple color.
