ELAZAGNUS pungens. An _ extremely 
hardy, fast-growing shrub. The leaves are 
silvery green, with russet on the underside. 
Flowers are inconspicuous, but in fall and 
winter the large fruits are very attractive 
and edible as well. FE. pungens fruitlandi 
and FE. aurea maculata are all valuable for 
roadside and seaside planting. See page 7 
which illustrates its spreading habit. 
pungens aurea maculata. More showy 
than Pungens or Variegata because of 
its distinctive gold markings which make 
it conspicuous in any planting of ever- 
greens. Smaller in growth, never reach- 
ing the immense proportions of its better- 
known parent, it retains and accentuates 
that random growth which distinguishes 
Eleagnus. Illustrated on page 6. 
pungens fruitlandii. A variation of 
Pungens with longer, more pointed 
leaves. Maximum height 10 to 15 feet. 
pungens variegata. The chief difference 
between this variety and Aurea maculata 
is that Pungens variegata has silver 
markings on the leaves instead of gold. 
Growth habit is medium slow. 
EURYA japonica. A low-growing, partly 
dwarf plant with elongated narrow leaves 
having a well-defined midrib of bright 
green. Small greenish white flowers are 
followed by black fruits. The plant pre- 
sents a fan-shaped aspect from two sides.
