ELAEAGNUS 
This family of popular and hardy Evergreens is one we can safely recommend 
for Shade locations, fragrant flowers and edible fruit. The three varieties we 
prefer to grow are Dwarfed habit and grow low and compact. 
Elaeagnus is one of the newer Jlroadleaf Evergreens that has gained popularity 
in the last few years. It provides a contrast in color of foliage, and grows 
equally well in Sun or Shade.

ELAEAGNUS FOR SHADY PLACES 
DWARF THORNY E. pungens nana 
Live-Oak-Shaped Leaves, silvery underneath. 
GRIFFING’S COMPACT E. pungens compacta 
New unusual variety, a sport of Fruitlandi discovered by us in 1934. Preferred 
to other types of Elaeagnus by many customers and Landscape men because of 
its close, compact attractive growth. 
ROSEDALE E. pungens rosedale 
A new sport. Small leaves, upright grower, many small branches. Where used in 
shade for Hedges with its new bronze leaves and brownish bark, makes excellent 
contrast color in plantings. 
SIMON E. pungens simon 
Small, dark green leaves dotted with silver scale on upper surface and silvery- 
white underneath. The upright growth with young foliage adds attractiveness 
with their fawn colorings.

GRAFTED BROADLEAF, DWARF THORNY, BRONZE, 
FRUITLAND AND SIMON VARIETIES 
These are grafted on Autumn Elaeagnus understock, the only objection being 
sprouting from understock, as some customers object to keeping sprouts removed, 
but considering price these are valuable for groupings.
