EUGENIA. We keep in stock the E. Myrti- 
folia, also called the Australian Brush 
Cherry, and another variety with larger 
leaves, called Eugenia Hookeri, both vari¬ 
eties are classed amongst the best for 
Southern California; they grow naturally 
into a shrub, shaping themselves into an al¬ 
most perfect pyramid. Trimmed into a slim 
column they produce a much better eSect 
than the Italian Cypress, as thy blend bet¬ 
ter with our California trees and shubs. 
As a tub plant for porch decoration they 
have no equal, their beautiful glossy green 
foliage producing a fine effect. 1 gal. cans,
