SOLANDRA Guttata. (Copa de Oro) 
(South America). The old "Cup of Gold." Sim¬ 
ilar to the preceding. The flowers are a little 
larger and are not so heavily marked on the in¬ 
side. Large, shining foliage. Gallon containers, 
$.75; large specimens, $1.75 up. 
SOLANDRA Longiflora. (Cup of Milk) 
(Mexico). Slenderer growth than the two pre¬ 
ceding, leaves much smaller, flowers are creamy- 
white with frilled edges. In a sunny situation is 
literally a blanket of bloom. A very pretty 
climbing plant and uncommon. Gallon contain¬ 
ers, $1.00; large specimens, $2.50 up. 
STEPHANOTIS Floribunda 
(Madagascar). Twining evergreen vine, hand¬ 
some leathery dark green leaves, clusters of 
waxy pure white intensely fragrant flowers. Does 
quite well in a protected place and should be 
more planted than it is in situations free from 
hard frost. Blooms are extensively used in the 
east and Europe for cut flower work. 5 inch 
•pots, $1.50. 
STIGMAPHYLLON Ciliatum. (Orchid 
Vine) 
(South America). Climbing vine, slender growth, 
very pretty foliage, sprays of bright yellow flow¬ 
ers of large size, very much resembling the Or¬ 
chid Oncidium. A very beautiful and choice 
thing and a profuse bloomer. Uncommon. Highly 
recommended. $1.00 to $1.50. 
TECOMA Australis. (Var. rosea) 
(Australia). Vigorous evergreen vine, handsome 
green pinnate foliage similar to the common Te- 
coma australis, with the exception that the flow¬ 
ers instead of being white or cream color are 
rosy pink in large drooping racemes. $.50. 
TECOMA Jasminoides 
(Australia). Evergreen climber, pretty lustrous 
evergreen foliage, clusters of trumpet-shaped 
flowers, white, with pink or purple throat. $.50. 
THUNBERGIA Gibsonii. (Orange Glory) 
(South Africa). Evergreen twining vine, very to- 
mentose foliage, large deep orange trumpet¬ 
shaped flowers, very freely produced. Does well 
either in sun or shade, but will bloom more freely 
in a sunny spot. Showy and beautiful. Strongly 
recommended. $.50. 
THUNBERGIA Grandiflora. (Blue 
Trumpet Vine) 
(India). Vigorous evergreen climber, large heart- 
shaped leaves, big clusters of deep lavender-blue 
large trumpet-shaped flowers. Quick growing. 
Highly ornamental. Too seldom seen. $.75. 
TRACHELOSPERMUM Jasminoides 
(East Indies and Japan). Probably too well- 
known to need description. Handsome small glos¬ 
sy dark evergreen foliage, panicles of intensely 
fragrant white flowers. $.50. 
A 1935 Novelty 
SUTERA grandiflora 
(So. Africa). A new introduction that is causing a sensation among nurserymen and florists. 
This plant is a low growing shrub to about two feet, with sage-like foliage, covered with 
clusters of beautifully formed blossoms of delicate blue-lavender. Seems to do equally 
well in sun or shade, and it is sure that it is going to be extremely popular. 
“The successful gardener is he who can enjoy his garden when he is alone in it, 
as simply as though it were a spring meadow ’round his house. He may have done 
what he will with nature; but all his labours will seem like nature to him, when he 
rests from them, and he will forget that his flowers owe their well-being to his skill. 
As for other gardens, there may be many more beautiful, and he is glad of it, as a poet 
is glad of all the poetry in the world. But his own garden is not to be compared with 
them, any more than his own wife with other women. It is there to be enjoyed for 
itself, without any pride of possession, and as a place to rest from all labours, even from 
those that have made it beautiful."’
