EVERGREEN SHRUBS 

Crotalaria 
CANARY BIRD SHRUB 
CROTALARIA AGATIFLORA. East Africa. A 
hardy shrub, bearing for a long period of time 
long racemes of curiously shaped flowers which 
are like green-gold in color—a real Chartreuse 
hue. This color and the shape of the blossoms 
suggest the name ‘‘Canary Bird Shrub’, The long 
blossom spikes and unusual color invite one to 
create many intriguing floral arrangements, and 
the flowers are so continuously produced that a 
wealth of cut spikes may be had for many 
months. The cutting of the flowers benefits the 
shrub, and keeps it shapely. Plant in a sunny lo- 
cation, where it is very easily grown. 1-gallon 
container, 75c; 5-gal. $1.75.
