Sambucus Racemosa. [ Clibrans 
The Scarlet Fruited Elder. 
The whole of this family succeed 
best if planted in peat 
and loam. 
1932 Foreman!!, surpasses all other berry-bearing shrubs by its hardiness, pleasing foliage, 
compact habit, and the durability of its fruit, which remains on the plant nearly 
two years. Well-berried plants of this Skimmia have stood in drawing-rooms two 
years and retained their ornamental character the whole time. 9d., 1/- to 1/6 each. 
1933 Male Variety. In order to ensure a crop of berries it is absolutely necessary to have 
a plant of the male variety, growing near to Skimmia Foremanii, which is the female 
form. 1/- to 1/6 each. 
1935 Fortunei, usually known under the name of S. Japonica, a low-growing evergreen, with 
sweet-scented flowers, followed by bright coral-red berries. 1/- to 1/6 each. 
1938 fragrans ( Mascula ), the male form of the true S. japonica', foliage dark glossy green; 
white, sweetly-scented flowers; a handsome evergreen. 1/- and 1/6 each. 
1941 japonica (S. Oblata), an evergreen shrub, suitable for growing in smoky districts. As it 
only produces female flowers, it is requisite to plant S. fragrans in the immediate 
neighbourhood. By doing so, a crop of beautiful red berries will be produced in 
great profusion, rendering them unsurpassed as decorative shrubs. 12 to 15 inches, 
9d. and 1/- each, 7/6 and 9/- per doz.; 15 to 18 inches, If- and 1/6 each, 10/6 to 15/-
