evergreen shrub with privet like glossy foli¬ 
age. From late May to July, the plant has 
inconspicuous creamy yellow, maroon edged 
flowers about one and a half inches long. Its 
banana like fragrance will probably be the 
first indication of its flowering. 
JAPANESE EVERGREEN OAK. (Quercus 
cuspidata.) Evergreen oak of medium growth 
suited for hedges or specimens. Allowed to 
grow untrimmed, it makes a loose informal 
growth with arching branches. 
VARIEGATED EVERGREEN OAK. (Quer¬ 
cus cuspidata aurea variegata.) Very dwarf 
growing. Leaves variegated yellow and green, 
holding its color even in shaded places. 
SILVER VARIEGATED OSMANTHUS. 
(Osmanthus aquifolium argenteo marginatus.) 
The leaves of this compact growing osman¬ 
thus are like miniature holly leaves, for which 
it may be mistaken if seen for the first time

The new shoots are especially attractive as 
they have a tinge of pink in addition to the 
silver and green.

spring flowering group of evergreen azaleas. 
The tints are especially charming when used 
in a mixed border or fronting a planting of

dendron Frangrantissimum.) Evergreen semi¬ 
hardy variety with large white very fragrant
