Ficus nitida 
SMALL-LEAVED RUBBER 
For the one who plans his landscape set¬ 
ting for permanency, this shrub or tree is 
one of the most valuable subjects grown. 
It is always beautifully clothed with deep 
green glossy foliage, the leaves a little 
smaller than those of the orange, smooth 
and glossy. As a trimmed shrub it has no 
equal; it is of quite slow growth and keeps 
its form as well as the Bay Tree. It can be 
shaped into any desired form, globe, pyra¬ 
mid, columnar, or a round-topped standard, 
permanently beautiful as specimens in pots, 
tubs, or open ground. In pots or tubs they 
will grow in sun or shade withstanding 
quite adverse conditions; ideal for porch, 
patio or display room. 
For a trimmed hedge of any desired 
height from one foot to eight feet its clas¬ 
sic beauty blends with most types of archi¬ 
tecture and is particularly desirable in for¬ 
mal gardens, lending a permanent rich fin¬ 
ish that leaves nothing to be desired. 
When allowed to grow naturally. Ficus nitida 
forms a beautiful tree of great character. 
Trimmed plants in large pots or tubs; 24 to 28- 
inches $2.50; 28 to 30-inches $3.00; 30 to 36- 
inches $3.50; 3-31/2 ft- $4.50; Round-headed

inches 75e; 4-inch pots 50c.

flowered native shrub, growing about 10 ft. high.

petals and profusely produced in spring, and con¬ 
tinues to bloom some nearly all summer. 1-gal. 
containers, 75c; 5-gal. $2.00.
