MYRICA cerifera. Bayberry Wax Myrtle. Have you ever noticed on the Long 

 Island hills and sand dunes big, rounded masses of beautiful green, the curves corre- 

 sponding with the curves of the hills and the white, fleecy clouds ? With the spiry 

 Cedars it composes the most beautiful landscape of which the situation is capable. 

 Whatever the drought the Bayberry is shiny and dark green, therefore, use it for 

 covering your hills where the grass is brown or where the sand shows through. In 

 Winter, the pearly white berries remind you of the Colonial settlers who made candles 

 from them. Bayberry is what Nature would plant, therefore do it first. Plant the 

 6-12 in. seedlings 2 ft. apart, as a cover. Use the taller ones in the shrubbery. 



6-12 in. high .30c. each, $2.50 per 10, $15.00 per 100
