ORNAMENTALS 
CAPE JESSAMINE ( Gardenia florida). A 
well-known evergreen shrub, having very 
handsome foliage and producing in profusion 
large, fragrant white flowers from May to 
September. Hardy throughout the Lower 
South and as far north as Virginia. 
CRAPE MYRTLE ( Lagerstramia lndica) . Too 
much cannot be said in favor of the delicate- 
flowered Lagerstroemias; universal favorites 
in the South, and deservedly so. Deciduous 
shrubs, hardy in the southern states, and 
producing throughout the summer great clus¬ 
ters of delicately fringed flowers. In Florida 
and the South the Crape Myrtle takes the 
place of the lilac, so common at the North. 
Makes the most charming flowering hedge 
known. Single specimens can be made to 
form very handsome shade trees. 
Purple. A grand sort, producing immense 
quantities of bloom of a rich purple color. 
Scarlet. A very dark shaded variety. In our 
opinion the best of all ; a gorgeous plant. 
White. This is quite scarce, and very lovely. 
CEDRUS DEODORA. The Great Cedar of the 
Himalayas. Attains immense size. The 
limbs are exceedingly graceful in manner of 
growth, and the short bluish green needles 
give it a very beautiful and striking appear¬ 
ance. 
CUPRESSUS pyramidalis. There are many va¬ 
rieties of Cypress which are well adapted to 
the South, but this is one of the most desirable. 
It is a very handsome evergreen, with a 
radical departure from the type. The tree 
grows very fast and assumes a beautifully erect 
and shaft-like form. 
HONEYSUCKLE, Pink. A moderate-growing 
vine, not a very strong climber, but desirable 
for open-ground culture. Beautiful bright 
pink flowers, which change to a pale pink. 
KUMQUAT (Citrus Japonica) . A small tree or 
large bush, bearing in great abundance a 
beautiful edible fruit the size of a pigeon’s 
egg. Evergreen ; remarkably handsome. 
(See description and full account on 
page 7). 
MAGNOLIA grandiflora. The well-known 
"Magnolia” of our native forests. The most 
magnificent of our broad-leaved evergreens. 
The trees bloom when quite small. The 
flowers are very large, pure waxy white, and 
of the most delicious fragrance. All of our 
plants are nursery-grown, have been once 
transplanted and are finely rooted. Trees 
attain immense size. One of the finest ever¬ 
green shade trees to be found in the South. 
MYRTLE-LEAVED ORANGE. A handsome 
dwarf evergreen tree, bearing in large clusters 
a flat fruit looking like a small Mandarin 
orange. Foliage dark, glossy green, and the 
graceful, upright branches are thickly studded 
with small leaves. Form and habit different 
from any other Citrus, and very striking. 
Especially desirable for room decoration when 
grown in pots or tubs. 
PERSIAN PLUM ( Prunus Pissardii ). Has re¬ 
markably handsome purple foliage, which 
retains its deep color through the warmest 
weather, and the leaves remain on the trees 
until midwinter. This most beautiful of 
purple-leaved trees bears a very handsome 
crimson fruit of fair quality, ripening in 
June. 
POMEGRANATE. This hardy shrub, which is 
easily grown throughout the Gulf states, is 
very graceful in form and foliage, and its 
brilliant scarlet flowers are very ornamental. 
(See full description on page 20.) 
PRIVET (Ligustrum) . The Privets are among 
the most valuable hedge plants for the South. 
Can be kept trimmed in any desired form. 
Amoor River. Light green leaves ; evergreen ; 
flowers white. One of the finest and most 
popular hedge plants, both North and South, 
and also desirable for planting as single 
specimens in grounds and parks. 
Golden. Leaves margined white and yellow. 
One of the best variegated shrubs for hedges 
or single specimens. 
RETINOSPORA plumosa. One of the most val¬ 
ued of all the Retinosporas or Japan Cypresses. 
A rapid - growing variety with exquisite, 
plume-like foliage and slender branches. Very 
handsome. 
SPIRAEA Billardii. A very desirable shrub of 
medium or dwarf growth, producing a great 
profusion of flowers in spikes ; color white ; 
almost a perpetual bloomer. 
TEXAS UMBRELLA TREE. A subvariety of 
the China Tree; of remarkably fast growth ; 
very symmetrical, resembling an umbrella in 
shape. One of the handsomest deciduous trees ; 
cannot be surpassed as a shade tree. Adapted 
throughout the entire Gulf coast country. 
WISTARIA, PURPLE. A magnificent climber. 
We have one of these shading our front piazza 
planted some years ago which has annually 
increased in dimensions until it requires fre¬ 
quent pruning to keep it within bounds. It 
is handsome at all times, and magnificent 
when in bloom, making a beautiful drapery 
of flowers.
