Ornamental Flowering Shrubs. 



CRAPE MYRTLE. Lagerstraemia In- 

 dica. — Too much cannot be said in favor of 

 the delicate flowered Lagerstaemias ; uni- 

 versal favorites in the South, and deserv- 

 edly so. Deciduous shrubs, hardy in the 

 Southern States, and producing throughout 

 the summer great clusters of delicately 

 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. 



White. This is quite scarce, and very 

 lovely. A most desirable sort. $1.00. 



Purple. A grand sort, producing im- 

 mense quantities of bloom of a rich purple 

 color. 



Scarlet. A very dark shaded variety ; 

 in our opinion the very best of all. A 

 gorgeous plant. 



Pink. Same as Scarlet except in color.

 each. Extra large, $3.50.

MAGNOLIA FUSCATA Banana 

 Shrub. — A most desirable evergreen shrub; 

 hardy South, but for conservatories North.

 fragrance. 50c., 75c, $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00.

 Grandiflora. 



OLEA. — Fragrans. — (Tea or Sweet 

 Olive). — One of the most desirable flower- 

 ing shrubs of Southern gardens. The white 

 flowers, although small, are produced in 

 clusters, and emit the most pleasing fra-

 vidual bloom has more sweetness than the 

 most fragrant lily." It is of easy culture.
