GARDENIA Thunbergi 
(South Africa). Evergreen shrub, compact grow¬ 
er, handsome dark green cut foliage, large sin¬ 
gle white fragrant flowers with a long tube. Very 
distinctive and beautiful, quite unlike the ordin¬ 
ary types and easier to manage than most of the 
family. Makes a large bush. Uncommon. 6 
inch pots, $2.50.

longing to the Hibiscus family. Bears an abun¬ 
dance of single cup-shaped flowers about three 
inches across, lavender in color, with dark center. 
Very showy and unusual. Particularly well adapt¬ 
ed to light soils and hot situations. New intro¬ 
duction. Gallon containers, $.75; large speci¬ 
mens, $2.00. 
GREVILLEA Obtusifolia 
(Australia). Evergreen prostrate and trolling 
shrub, admirable for a ground covering, neat 
dark green foliage, red flowers very similar to 
G. thelemanniana. We know of no finer or 
more attractive evergreen prostrate shrub than 
this. It is very sure that when it becomes 
better known, this Grevillea will be planted 
by the thousands for banks and terraces. New 
introduction. 4 inch pots, $.35; One dozen, 
$3.50. 
GREVILLEA Paniculata 
(Australia). Evergreen shrub with spreading hab¬ 
it, sending up tall slender branches from the 
center, blooms several times a year with a pro¬ 
fusion of foamy white fragrant flowers. The up¬ 
right growths can be cut out and the plant can 
be trained to make a trailing ground covering, 
similar to the preceding Grevillea. Pretty and 
desirable. New introduction. Gallon contain¬ 
ers, $.50. 
GREVILLEA Rosmarinaefolia 
(Australia). Bushy compact growing Grevillea, 
deep green foliage covered with racemes of pink 
and white flowers. Desirable evergreen shrub.
