CRAPE MYRTLE—SEE PAGE 7 
MAHONIA (Acquifolia Oregon Holly). A beautiful low- 
growing evergreen with striking holly-like leaves that vary 
in hue from dark greens to shadings of reds and bronzes. 
Perfectly hardy, but is best in partially shaded spots. Has 
yellow flowers at the ends of the stems in spring, followed 
by blue berries. Excellent as a contrasting plant. 
MYRTUS COMMUNIS (Sweet Myrtle or Roman Myrtle). 
Dainty low growing plant with aromatic foliage and small 
white flowers. It is rather tender while young, so should be 
planted in a protected spot. A plant of real beauty, that 
should be better known. A fine bloomer. 
NANDINA DOMESTICA. Erect growing, bamboo-like shoots, 
with compound, graceful leaves that are dark green in sum¬ 
mer; after frost, turn to flaming red. Especially prized be¬ 
cause of the great clusters of red berries in winter. 
PHOTINIA SERRULATA. A large handsome shrub with 
slightly curled, indented leaves. The new foliage in spring 
is a bright red. Best used around large buildings or for 
heavy landscape plantings. Not particular about soil or 
situation. 
PYRACANTHA LALANDI (Fire Thorn). Fast becoming one 
of the most popular of the larger growing evergreens, be¬ 
cause of its handsome, upright branches, and glowing 
masses of orange berries all winter. Most attractive in spring 
when fairly loaded with masses of tiny white flowers. Makes 
a fine hedge plant when pruned or can be trained over 
arbors. 
PYRACANTHA (Yunnanensis). A spreading type with red 
berries, and dark green leaves. Fine to plant in front of the 
tall growing type for contrasts. Is graceful when growing 
over rock walls or embankments. 
ROSEMARY (Rosmarius Officinalis). A pretty low growing 
herb-like gray shrub with pleasant aroma, and bright blue 
flowers appearing at the axils of the narrow leaves up the 
stems in spring. Will grow on even the poorest soil, and is 
most effective in clumps. 
LAVENDER COTTON (Santolina). A low, round clump of 
soft, gray foliage, making nice compact clumps or for edg¬ 
ings around flower beds, or for cemetery borders. Does best 
in dry sunny locations, and seasonal shearing keeps it more 
compact. Yellow flowers in spring.

GOLDFLAME HONEYSUCKLE 
(Name Trade-Marked) 
A superlative variety: beautiful, 
hardy and versatile. The large flame- 
coral trumpets lined with gold, fragrant 
after nightfall, appear in immense, 
showy clusters the same year the plant 
is set out. Reaching its full glory of 
bloom in early summer, it nevertheless 
flowers abundantly from May until 
frost. Dark blue-green foliage, disease 
and pest free, is attractive in itself and 
makes a perfect background for the 
I brilliance of the flowers. 
Allowed to grow naturally, Gold- 
flame will climb a trellis or spread as 
a ground cover; pruned it becomes a 
striking specimen shrub while if 
planted in a row and sheared it gives 
a smashing effect as an everblooming 
hedge. 
ROSEGLO HONEYSUCKLE 
Evergreen south, hardy north, and a 
free and abundant bloomer from late 
spring until severe winter. The flowers 
are two-lipped, tubular, deep rose-pink 
outside and creamy-white inside; ex¬ 
ceedingly fragrant, borne in terminal 
clusters over the entire plant. The plant 
is erect and twining, forming a striking 
and desirable shrub if the long shoots 
are clipped back at intervals, though j* 
allowed to grow freely will develop 
into a spreading, low-growing vine. 
The glossy gray-green foliage is very 
handsome.
