Olea Fragrrans (Tea, or Sweet Olive) — One of the most desirable flowering shrubs of Southern gardens. The 
white flowers, although small, are produced In clusters, and emit the most pleasing fragrance. It is well said 
that "each individual bloom has more sweetness than the most fragrant lily." As a conservatory shrub for 
Northern florists, it will be found invaluable and of 
ready sale. The blooming period begins In the fall and 
lasts for several months. It is of easy culture, and 
especially desirable as a window^ plant.

broad -leaved evergreen trees ; needs no description. 
Maftmolia >'u8cata (Banana Shrub) — A most desirable 
evergreen shrub; hardy South, but for conservatories in 
the North. The brownish yellow flowers, which appear 
In early sping. emit a delightful banana fragrance. 
Khododendron — This, wherever know^n, is universally 
acknowledged to be the most showy, magnifictmt, hardy 
evergreen shrub that grows. It will thrive in any good 
soil without any special preparation, and in the full blaze 
of the sun, but it is more luxuriant In good, well pre- 
pared soil of leaf mold and muck and peat mixed, and 
In partial shade. 
The broad, thick evergreen foliage, with its glossy 
richness, would alone entitle it to a place foremost in 
the rank of evergreen shrubs, but when In June this 
mass of luxuriant foliage is almost hidden by the mag- 
nificent array of beautiful flowers in clusters, it is simply 
grand. 
A protection of leaves and brush during the flrqt 
winter will be beneficial. The plants we offer are strong 
and bushy, well set with flower buds, and will flower 
nicely the first year. Red, pink, white and variegated.
