tories North. T he brownish yellow flowers, which

(DOUBLE MYRTLE) 
A beautiful evergreen with small glossy green 
leaves. Flowers double; pure white and very fra¬ 
grant. 25 cts. 
Olea 
Fragrans (Tea, or Sweet Olive). One of the most 
desirable flowering shrubs of southern gardens. The 
white flowers, although small, are produced in clus¬ 
ters, and emit the most pleasing fragrance. It is well 
said that "each individual bloom has more sweetness 
than the most fragrant lily.” As a conservatory shrub 
for northern florists, it will be found invaluable and 
of ready sale. The blooming period begins in the 
fall and lasts for several months. It is of easy culture, 
and especially desirable as a window plant. We 
offer the largest stock in the United States. Several 
sizes, 25 and 50 cts.

shrub allied to the Olea fragrans. With prickly-

plant successfully. We offer plants from 3-inch pots,

the bark becoming a valuable product.
