Autumn Oleaster 
(Elaeagnus umbellata) 
If thej;birds had their way they would call this their “Christmas Dinner”; they will strip 
the berries off of this plant at Christmas time, and you will enjoy watching them feed. The 
j grayish green leaves look as if they had been coated with aluminum dust. 
This is a shrub that can be planted and forgotten, as it 
“fixes” nitrogen from the air by means of nodules on its roots 
and is therefore able to flourish by means of its own labor without 
troublesome fertilizing of the soil. It enjoys full sunlight and 
will grow 8 to 10 ft. high. As it does not spread much, it can 
easily be inserted in the background of other shrubs. Grows 
well in sandy as well as clay soil, and resists drought. 
3 to 4 ft. Plants, $0.85 each; 3 for $2.25 F. O. B. Piqua.
