BAMBOO 
Barabusa 
The Bamboos deserve far more attention than they usually receive from 
Landscape Gardoners. Both large and small forms, they can be chosen for 
any location. Dense, plume-like foliage, entirely evergreen, makes them IDEAL 
SPECIMENS on lawns and in parks where they are generously used. Certain 
varieties make BEAUTIFUL SCREENS for hiding garages and outbuildings 
and obstructing unsightly views. The dwarf type is adapted to HEDGE 
PLANTING and should be used for property lines, separating lawns and 
flower or vegetable gardens, or for enclosing any area which Is suited to hedge 
plantings. Hardy, cheaper than fencing, evergreen and unusually beautiful, 
we heartily endorse and recommend dwarf Bamboos FOR ANY HEDGE where 
it can be two or three feet wide. 
Does not spread from suckers like ordinary reeds, common Georgia cane, 
etc., but stools from base only.

BERRIES 
What is nicer for the home garden than a berry patch? They have the ad¬ 
vantage of coming into bearing sooner than most fruits and certainly nothing 
is n.ore relished than big, ripe, luscious berries. 
Blackberries, Dewberries, Youngberries, and Boysenberries are quite at home 
in the South, and nowhere are they more productive or the quality better. 
DALLAS BLACKBERRY 
Ter. 1 to 4. A rapid grower. Long thorny vines. Never fails to produce a 
heavy crop each year. One of the most prolific bearers. Berries are large, 
luscious, sweet and juicy. 
THORNLESS DEWBERRY 
Ter. 1 to 3. A new plant, without thorns. A strong grower. Large jet black 
berries for eating fresh or canning. Excellent quality.

BOYSENBERRY 
Ter. 1 to 6. The largest and most productive berry known. Berries very 
sweet and juicy. They have a mild, distinctive flavor of its own, somewhat 
suggestive of raspberry. The vines are so heavy, they should have a three-wire 
trellis five feet high. When planting, allow 6 feet each way for vines to 
grow and bear properly.

CAMELLIA 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
Camellias are sometimes called the "Aristocrats of Southern Gardens.” They are easily grown in the South, and their 
rich, glossy foliage and colorful flowers make them unusually attractive. There are so many named varieties, but not 
all are desirable. The flowers are produced during the mid-winter when no other flowers are found in the garden, bringing 
increased admiration for this plant. 
HOW TO GROW CAMELLIAS 
Camellias grow in almost any soil, but they should not be planted in soil containing a great deal of lime, or fertilized 
with a mixture containing lime. A well drained, good garden soil, a little acid in reaction is preferable. Half shady loca¬ 
tions are suitable, especially when the plants are young; free blooming can not be expected in a place entirely shady. 
They love a humid atmosphere, and watering should not be neglected during hot, dry months. Frequent syringing of the 
leaves help a great deal.
