LAGERSTRCEMIA INDICA. Crape- 
Myrtle. With good care these natives of 
China will develop into trees 15 to 20 feet 
tall; a plant of this size in full bloom is a 
picture one never forgets. The flowers, 
which appear in summer and last for several 
weeks, are of peculiar formation, being 
fringed and wavy in outline and out¬ 
standingly beautiful. The Crape-Myrtles 
are reliably hardy as far north as Baltimore, 
but specimens are sometimes seen in pro¬ 
tected situations much farther north. They 
can be treated somewhat like a perennial; 
protect the roots and the new shoots, like 
phlox, will produce fine bloom.
