V. Tinus (Laurustinus). One of the handsomest and 
most satisfactory broad-leaved flowering shrubs; 
of rapid growth; attains a height of 10 feet. The flow¬ 
ers are creamy white, produced in the greatest pro¬ 
fusion in early February, and last for a long time; 
very fragrant. The buds before opening are of a 
bright red color. They begin to show in November, and 
gradually grow until F'ebruary, making the plant 
most conspicuous. Makes a most unique hedge.

conspicuous plant with stiff evergreen foliage. The

Y. Treculeana. This is a very rare and beautiful 
species from northern Mexico and southwest Texas. 
This variety is extremely difficult to obtain, but we 
have succeeded in raising a fine stock of vigorous 
plants. In early April flowers of ivory-whiteness are 
produced in great profusion upon a compact stock. 
The flower-heads are sometimes 3 feet in length. 
The leaves are dark green, thick, very rigid and of 
unusual length. A single plant or a mass of these 
beautiful Yuccas is a most conspicuous object.
