These I have proved. I should like to call special attention 

 to that very handsome evergreen Azara microphylla. It is now 

 (at the beginning of April) in full bloom, but it makes its presence 

 felt not by the attractive characters of its flowers, but by the 

 wonderful fragrance they exhale. The garden is filled with an 

 aroma resembling vanilla.
