Abelia 
Ardisia 
Abelia grandiflora. (A. rupestris). One of our most 
beautiful, popular and satisfactory broad-leaved 
evergreens. The graceful, drooping stems and 
branches are covered with dark, glossy leaves which 
in winter assumes a metallic sheen. From the mid¬ 
dle of May until frost this plant produces an im¬ 
mense quantity of tubular-shaped white flowers 
about an inch long which are borne in clusters. 
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 speci¬ 
mens, for groups, or for a hedge we cannot too 
strongly recommend this plant.

Aucuba 
(Gold Dust Tree) 
This beautiful plant is not sufficiently appreciated. 
When in the open ground it gives the best results 
when planted in a shaded situation, in a somewhat 
moist, though rich, well-drained soil. This genus 
contains both male and female plants. If the latter 
are planted near the male plants they will produce 
a profusion of red berries which makes them very 
attractive. Aucubas are especially desirable for city 
gardens when same are exposed to smoke. These 
plants are also largely used for vases, urns and win¬ 
dow boxes. Hardy at Washington, D. C. 
Aucuba himalaica. A strong growing variety with 
large, dark, glossy leaves. Produces a profusion 
of scarlet berries which makes a fine contrast with 
the rich, 
green foliage.
