Nandina domestica 
Nandina is an Oriental plant which does 
best south of Washington, although plants 
will live and produce some fruit quite a 
way north of there. Planted in the shade, 
it remains evergreen, but given a protected 
place in the sun, the foliage takes on a lovely 
red tint in the fall which, added to the great 
panicles of bright red berries, presents a 
striking fall picture. Known as a “good- 
luck plant” in its eastern home, it is usually 
planted near the house and is sometimes 
called the “Heavenly Bamboo.”

Flowering Trees and Shrubs 
We have spoken of the Flowering Crab- 
Apple and other flowering trees elsewhere, 
but have used this picture to show another 
effect gained by using this kind of material 
in connection with a perennial border and a 
nice lawn. 
Again we want to extend our invitation 
to you to visit the Greenbrier Farms and see 
these fine plants growing. 
We believe that you will be better satisfied 
if you will come and pick out the plants you 
want, and we may be able to give you some 
good advice about the planting of them.
