Miscellaneous Ornamentals 
ALTHAEA, ROSE OF SHARON, is one of our 
most desirable flowering shrubs, and merits 
extensive cultivation, as it produces beautiful 
flowers in great profusion during a long period. 
The flowers come on the new growth, and it 
continues to bloom as long as new wood is 
being made. 
Meehani. Double, pure white, with red throat; 
very free and fine. 
Rubra. Double red; large, full, free-flowering. 
A very handsome shrub when in full bloom. 
ARBORVITiE, or BIOTA. These beautiful ever¬ 
greens can be utilized in many ways, and are 
always satisfactory. Desirable 
for lining avenues or planted as 
individual specimens. Very 
ornamental. 
Aurea nana. Forms an exceed¬ 
ingly compact, well-rounded 
head. Beautiful greenish yel¬ 
low foliage. A perfect gem for 
gardens or grounds where trees 
of only shrub-like dimensions 
are wanted. One of the most 
satisfactory of all. 
Compacta. Of compact growth, 
as its name indicates; heads 
somewhat conical in shape ; fo¬ 
liage dark green. 
Orientalis (Chinese). Of rather 
upright growth; heads not as 
dense as some of the other sorts, 
but makes a handsome tree, 
and is, perhaps, the most rapid 
grower of any of the Biotas. 
Pyramidalis. This variety is of 
very upright growth, branches 
drawn close together. Foliage 
beautiful greenish color. A 
very desirable variety for plant¬ 
ing at ends of walks or ter¬ 
minuses of hedges. 
Rosedale. This handsome variety, 
recently originated in southern 
Texas, is now attracting a great 
deal of attention throughout the 
South. It is of very compact 
growth and forms a symmetrical, 
well-rounded head. The foli¬ 
age is of a dark bluish green 
cast that makes it unique and 
distinctive in appearance. Very 
desirable. 
CAMPHOR TREE ( Cinnamomum Carnp/iora ). 
A broad-leaved evergreen, yielding the cam¬ 
phor gum of commerce. Is perfectly well 
adapted to this region, and is exceedingly 
handsome. Hardy throughout Florida and most 
of the Gulf states. Makes an excellent wind¬ 
break, or, when planted singly and properly 
trimmed, a beautiful shade tree. Leaves and 
berries are very aromatic. It is a rank grower, 
and thrives in soil of but ordinary fertility. 
Considerable attention has recently been 
drawn to the possibilities of camphor produc¬ 
tion for profit in the Lower South, and the 
trees are now in demand for this purpose. 
ARBORVITTE, OR BIOTA.
