maintains a clean appearance in all seasons. In hot interior

Pittosporum undulatum. Victorian Laurel. Because of its 
sizable cool green undulate foliage, symmetry of outline, 
versatility and deliciously fragrant white flowers it has been 
a favorite for many years. Trimmed it will make a thick 
hedge to 8 or 10 ft. that is always presentable. It is often 
grown in tree form where space does not permit planting a | 
wide-spreading tree. Grown as a background in border plant- | 
ing or to break wide expanse of wall no large shrub is more 
attractive. Balled, bushy 4-5 ft., $4.50; 3-4 ft., $3.00; 2-3 ft.,

BLUE PLUMBAGO 
Plumbago capensis. If you want azure blue flowers from 
May until December plant this variety. Draped over low 
walls or planted on banks where water is not readily avail- 
able Plumbago will thrive. If pruned twice yearly the plant 
will fill completely a 4-ft. space. Hardy except in coldest 
locations. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 40c. 
FERN PINE 
Podocarpus elongata. A lovely erect visitor from South 
Africa, with small narrow leaves and drooping branchlets, 
that with a little pruning is most satisfactory for framing 
large windows or for use against buildings where height 
and airyness are indicated. Also an unusually attractive pot 
plant for the patio. Shade or sun. Hardy except in very cold 
spots. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 70c. 
Podocarpus macrophylla. Still more attractive than the 
foregoing variety. Tall pyramidal shrub with a sturdy central 
stem from which radiate small branches that are whorled 
with narrow deep green foliage. They never fail to cause 
much comment when used to break sharp angles of build- 
ings, to give height against patio walls or when grown in 
pots or tubs. The shrub is growing fast in popularity. The 
more we see of it the better we like it and it carries our hearty 
recommendation. Will grow in sun or shade. Hardy. Balled, 
414-5 ft., $4.00; 4-414 ft., $3.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal.

EVERBLOOMING POLYGALA 
Polygala Dalmasiana. There is not a week during the year, 
except in very cold winters, that you cannot cut at least a 
few sprays of light purple pea-shaped flowers. Through 
summer and fall the 3-ft. bushy shrub is alive with sparkling 
color. Thrives in any well drained soil and with little water 
or attention. Hardy except in coldest locations. Sun. Balled, 
very bushy 2 ft., $1.50; 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. con- 
tainers, 40c. 

DEEP BLUE PLUMBAGO, Ceratostigma Willmottianum. 
See page 17. 
CAROLINA CHERRY 
Prunus caroliniana. Grown as a tree it is just the right size 
to fit in narrow parkings or any sunny spot where a 12-15 ft. 
round-headed tree is desired. Used as a large shrub in the 
background of the shrubbery border the bright green bronzy 
tipped foliage, fuzzy white flowers and large black berries 
are always enjoyable. The plants are often used as clipped 
pyramids in cold areas where Eugenias might be injured by 
frost. Hardy in any weather. Easily grown in almost any 
soil. Balled, trimmed pyramids, 4-5 ft., $2.50; 3-4 ft. $1.80; 
5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 40c. 
MOUNTAIN CHERRY 
Prunus ilicifolia. An excellent holly-leaved shrub for 
screening in. Looks bright and clean always and requires 
little water. Will form a thick hedge if trimmed. The cut 
branches are widely used for Christmas decorations. Sun 
or part shade. Hardy. 8-10 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. 
containers, 50c. 
ENGLISH LAUREL 
Prunus laurocerasus. For shaded or semi-shaded spots 
against walls or in sunny areas in the open ground this 
variety displays remarkable character, Grows about as tall 
as wide and with a little help from the pruning shears will 
be a veritable thicket of large dark green foliage. Properly 
planted it is never affected by either heat or cold. No shrub 
planting should be without it. Balled, bushy 3%-4 ft., $2.50; 
3-314 ft., $2.25; 214-3 ft., $2.00; 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. 
containers, 50c. 
CATALINA CHERRY 
Prunus Lyoni. Sometime, we imagine, this shrub will 
simply wear itself out from lack of rest (quite modern we'd 
say) for from one year’s end to another, with hardly a 
breathing spell it just grows and grows and grows. The 
dark heavily varnished leaves of the older growth reflect the 
soft beauty of glistening new leaves. A marvelous shrub of 
rather dense growth for mass planting. Trimmed, it will 
form a 6-10 ft. hedge that cannot be equalled for sheer 
beauty and hardiness. It is also a remarkable success when 
grown as a tree. Creamy white flowers and purple cherry- 
like fruit. 15 ft. Extremely hardy. Sun or shade. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 50c.
