dium sized, of compact bushy habit. Very

Crotalaria 
CANARY BIRD SHRUB 
For intriguing cut-flower arrangements. 
CROTALARIA AGATI FLORA. East Africa. A 
hardy shrub, bearing for a long period of time 
long racemes of curiously shaped flowers which 
are like green-gold in color—a real Chartreuse 
hue. This color and the shape of the blossoms 
suggest the name "Canary Bird Shrub". The long 
blossom spikes and unusual color invite one to 
create many intriguing floral arrangements, and 
the flowers are so continuously produced that a 
wealth of cut spikes may be had for many 
months. The cutting of the flowers benefits the 
shrub, and keeps it shapely. Plant in a sunny lo¬ 
cation, where it is very easily grown. $1.00; 
Flowering specimens $2.50. 
CORREA PULCHELLA—A New Flowering Shrub 
For Foreground Planting. Low Crowing, Compact, Attractive 
Low shrubs for foreground planting and locations such as in front of windows are 
not too numerous, so that any new ones which are also beautiful are most welcome 
introductions. The Correas grow about two feet high, and are somewhat spreading, 
but bushy in habit. Their foliage is dense, and a pleasing deep olive green, attrac¬ 
tive even without the lovely little bell-shaped pink blossoms which are produced in 
profusion. The flowering branches are very appealing when cut and arranged in a 
vase or bowl with a suitable flower holder. 
We also have CORREA ALBA, a white-flowered species, and 
CORREA SPECIOSA, with yellow blossoms. 
4-inch pots, 50c
