AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. 
Abelia grandiflora. 
Abelia 
Abelia grandiflora. (A. rupestris). One of our most 
beautiful, popular and satisfactory broad-leaved ever¬ 
greens. The graceful, drooping stems and* branches 
are covered with dark, glossy leaves which in winter 
assume a metalic sheen. From the last of May 
until frost this plant produces an immense quantity 
of tubular-shaped white flowers about an inch long, 
which are borne in clusters. The accompanying 
photo will give an idea of the beauty of the Abelia. 
During the growing season it is advisable to pinch 
off the ends of the long shoots. This will make the 
plant dense and compact. For single specimens, for 
groups, or for a hedge we cannot too strongly rec¬ 
ommend this plant.
