Everyone i's familiar with the old time Winter Honey¬ 
suckle or Matrimony (Lonicera fragrantissima), which has 
a most pleasing fragrance when in blossom in the heart of 
winter. 
The Chinese Wintersweet (Meratia praecox) is not so 
well known, but is a delightful plant to have, as it gives 
flowers about the same time as the Winter Honeysuckle. 
By all means plant a Tea Olive or two near your living 
room windows, as there is no plant that has such delight¬ 
ful fragrance. It blooms in all but the very coldest and 
hottest part of the year—especially in the early spring and 
the early fall. 
To leave from the coldest part of the year to the very 
hottest part of the year when flowers are so very scarce, 
why not plant a few of the extremely floriferous Lantana, 
which will bloom regardless of the summer sun. 
The old time Althaea (Hibiscus syriacus) is another dry- 
weather stand-by. The Autumn Sage is not as well known 
as it might be, but given a sunny, well-drained location it 
will give a mass of color in late summer and early fall. 
There are many handsome berried plants which are 
satisfactory and are highly ornamental. All of the Hollies 
(Ilex) are considered the stand-by for Christmas decora¬ 
tion, but the Evergreen Burning Bush (Euonymus japoni- 
cus), Nandinas and Leatherleaf Holly-Grape (Mahonia 
bealei), and the Pyracantlias should not be omitted when 
planting berried plants. 
You will find all of these plants listed throughout Fruit- 
land’s catalog. 
FRUITLAND LAWN SEED 
In the South the best period for lawn-making is from 
September to December—the earlier the better. Do not 
attempt to make a lawn during very dry or extremely 
windy weather. In preparing the soil it should be plowed 
as deeply as possible and then subsoiled, harrowed, and 
all stones removed. If plowing is not practical, have the 
ground spaded carefully and thoroughly. To feed the 
grass, use sheep-manure at the rate of 1,000 pounds to the 
acre, or bonemeal at the rate of 800 pounds to the acre. 
Work this food well into the soil, level the ground, and 
rake perfectly smooth. Broadcast the seed at the rate of 
60 to 75 pounds to the acre (210 by 210 feet), rake lightly, 
cover the seed, and then roll. If you cannot get a roller, 
firm the soil with a plank or flat tamper. During hot, 
dry weather use a lawn-sprinkler or spray-nozzle after 
sunset—do not spray when the sun is shining, nor apply 
the water with great force. During prolonged dry spells, 
water each evening. Established lawns may be lightly 
reseeded each autumn, covering the bare spots and insuring 
a substantial turf. 
Fruitland Mixture of Special Grasses for 
Southern Landscapes 
After years of testing we have decided that the Fruitland 
Grass Mixture will give the most satisfactory results for 
Southern lawns. It is composed of grasses that have the 
greatest heat- and drought-resisting qualities. The varie¬ 
ties are carefully blended to give a mixture that will with¬ 
stand hot weather better than any evergreen lawn grass 
that we have been able to obtain. Of course, during pe¬ 
riods of intense heat and drought, all evergreen lawn 
grass will burn more or less. All of the seed used in 
Fruitland Mixture has been recleaned, is strictly free from 
weeds, and is of high germination.
