LEUCOPHYLLUM TEXANUM. 
A native of the dry regions of our state, where it is found growdng among 
cliffs and rocks. It is a plant of rare beauty; in fact, one of the most beauti- 
ful shrubs in existence, but 
owing to the great difficulty 
of starting young plants, it 
has never been grown in 
nurseries. I have for many 
years tried to find some means 
of starting young plants in 
pots, and have now' found a 
w'ay of growing this plant. 
The young plants I herewith 
offer for the first time to my 
customers are in small pots, 
and w'ill be sent with the pot, 
which is broken before set- 
ting. This is the only sure 
W'ay of transplanting, and I 
guarantee every plant to grow' 
w'hich is thus treated. 
The plant grow's round and 
dense; attains height of six 
feet and same width. Foliage 
is a beautiful silvery gray 
color, W'hich is, how’ever, hid- 
den w'hen plant is in full bloom. The purplish red flowers are half an inch 
across, with golden dots on inside, and are produced in such numbers every 
tw'o W’eeks that the plant looks from a distance as if loaded w'ith ripe fruit. 
It is an evergreen as w'ell as an everblooming plant. Stands drought better 
than any other shrub, but thrives in moist soil best. 
Price of plants in four-inch pots (with pot), and guarantee that plant 
will grow, !s 1.50 each; field grow'ii, 3 feet, Jjil.OO each.
