COTTON SHRUB (Baccharis Halimifolia). Ult. 
H. 6 ft. Small leathery leaves. Well branched

when no other shrubs are in bloom. 8 ft. plants 2 1.00

CRAPE MYRTLE (Lagerstroema). This shrub 
is practically from the south but owing to con- 
stant culture in the north it has become extreme- 
ly hardy. Our winters have reached as low as 17° 
below zero and a continual ground freeze of five 
feet. Still Crape Myrtle survived! Though it 
grows into small trees in the southern states 
with us it generally dies to the ground each 
winter. But, by July the new shoots have 
already reached a length of four to five feet, 
and at the ends of each form those immense 
hydrangea-like blooms. The main and most 
attractive color is that of a vivid pink. Some- 
times called watermelon red. It flowers in 
blue, purple, watermelon red, pink and white. 
Blue is a new color and quite attractive. A 
specimen plant is growing in zoological garden, 
Detroit, Michigan, year after year. With such 
few flowers coming into bloom in July and last- 
ing till frost this shrub will surely come 
rapidly to the front. The ‘looks’ of the plant 
when shipped are very disappointing. The 
root habit is a dead looking lot of sticks as 
well as the top. If not understood it would be 
pronounced worthless. When newly trans- 
planted it may require a whole season before 
it shows growth. In fact sometimes not until 
the second year does it show life. But when 
once in growth the lapse of time quickly pays 
for itself in its fascinating beauty. Practical- 
ly every new shoot is alive with its immense 
12” to 18” clusters of wavy crape flowers from 
which its name ‘“Crape Myrtle’ is derived. 
Culture is the same as any ordinary shrub.

Dear Mr. Kind: 
_The two Crape Myrtle arrived yesterday in very good con- 
dition. The packing around the roots was still wet, after the 
long journey. I notice that it cost 59¢c to send them and I be- 
lieve I only sent 10c for the postage, so I am sending 50c in 
stamps because I know that Shady Lawn Nursery couldn’t 
shat in business very long if they pay 59c postage on a $1 
order. 
Thanks for your kindness. 
MRS. P. J., 
Salt Lake City, Utah.
