NEW and UNUSUAL PLANTS 
E ESPECIALLY invite your attention to a few plants which have been 
unusually successful in Florida. 
The Babcock Peach, we believe, is the finest Peach of its type and the orna- 
mentals listed on these pages will quickly turn your grounds into a place of en- 
viable beauty. 
If in doubt about the proper plant for a certain location, let us help you. 
Ilex opaca hibernia 
This Ilex type is one that we have grown for several years and we recommend it as interesting and attractive. The tree 
shows exceptionally bright green foliage, is quite compact, a medium wide grower, keeping a symmetrical appearance. 
The leaves are spiny, but not deeply indented; the red berries are abundantly produced each season and are well distributed 
over the tree. As it becomes better known we feel that it will be increasingly popular as a Christmas Holly. 
Ilex opaca, Taber No. 4 
This very fine strain grows to a great height. It has slightly drooping branches which gives it somewhat the effect of a 
towering fountain. This is further enhanced by the growth habit of the foliage; the broad, rather blunt spiny leaves being 
set in a flat half-circle. This peculiarity lends itself especially well to wreath making and other Christmas decorations. 
The fruits are bright red and very large. 
Juniperus communis depressa plumosa (Andorra Juniper) 
This new and very interesting dwarf Juniper is also known as Juniperus horizontalis, var. plumosa. It is low-growing’ 
spreading and very distinctive and graceful. In the spring, the foliage is a beautiful silvery green, turning to a silvery purple 
or pinkish shade in the fall. This is a most unusual color combination and is not found in any other shrub of this type. 
It does not grow as closely to the ground as some of the creeping forms, but lifts its branches fifteen to eighteen inches. 
For this reason it fills a somewhat different need in landscape work. Because of its unusual color, it may be used at the 
base of taller Evergreens of contrasting color, and is also good for foundation plantings, for terraces and for rock-gardens. 
It thrives best in an open, sunny, well-drained location. 
Malus angustifolia (Native Crab- Apple) 

In the spring these shapely trees are covered with pale pink blossoms which are a Mecca for the honey bees. Foliage 
reaches maturity after flowering, and the big trees often reach a height of 25 feet. They rival in beauty the Flowering 
Cherries of Washington fame, and may be used in the Lower South where the Cherries cannot be grown.
