in number, and like the orange blossoms 
in texture but larger in size and with 
masses of yellow anthers in the centers. 
These flowers, closely studded along the 
stems among the deep green leaves, make 
a very striking midwinter garden picture. 
About twenty miles from Charleston these 
teas are grown for commercial use and are 
a successful experiment of foreign plant 
introduction. From this point and south 
along the Gulf Coast they are perfectly 
hardy. This is almost a Christmas flower. 
Other Christmas greens that should be 
planted are the hollies, which should al¬ 
ways be closely associated in groups that 
include both the pistillate and staminate 
kinds. The familiar American holly, Ilex 
opaca, is not more attractive than the Ilex 
aquifolium, the European holly, and the 
Chinese and Japanese varieties, Ilex cor- 
nuta and Ilex crenata, with the Ilex glabra, 
the native winterberry or inkberry, are 
all good and hardy garden plants. The 
tree hollies should, of course, be used for 
background and border plantings or as a 
screen. They are of a beautiful light 
green color that contrasts most strikingly 
with the foliage of the darker-leaved 
plantings. A Southern lawn in its winter 
dress of bright velvety green framed in a 
border of the American holly, with vivid 
green leaves and bright-hued berries, is a 
winter picture that is beautiful and strik¬ 
ing and well worth working for. 
The two Leucothoes, acuminata, the 
well-known “Ti-Ti” or pipewood of 
South Carolina and Florida, and the 
Leucothoe catesbcci, are graceful and at¬ 
tractive both in summer bloom and in 
winter garb of shiny, glossy green leaves 
and showy scarlet berries that are used 
extensively for Christmas greens. 
Of the summer-blooming shrubs we 
have the Magnolias and the Neriums. The 
latter, both in single and double, in all the 
shades of pink and in the white are among 
the most beautiful and desirable of our 
broad-leaved evergreens. The pink va¬ 
rieties are much more delicate than the 
white kinds. Galveston is known as the 
Oleander City, and along the Louisiana 
bayous they are planted only where a 
dense and tall evergreen screen is needed. 
In the cooler sections they are not so 
vigorous, hut they are beautiful whenever 
and wherever found. 
For the lower shrubbery groups the 
Gardenias are most popular. They should 
have a fertile, loamy soil, and if the sea¬ 
son is very dry they require much water 
if they give the full return of bloom. 
Gardenia jasminoides and G. jasminoides 
fortuned are the standards. In the older 
gardens these plants have attained tree¬ 
like growth and are magnificent. 
Some of us have big gardens and some 
gardens no larger than a pocket handker¬ 
chief, but there are infinite possibilities in 
each. When you see the pictures in 
“Landscape Gardening on a Small Place,” 
in the March House and Garden, you'll 
understand how it is done.
