leaves of the deepest green imaginable are set thickly on 
dark green stems. The bushy little plant (it only grows to 
2% ft.) maintains its even temper through any weather and 
in winter its small white flowers possess an intoxicating

matures the 3-inch leathery leaves turn to deep green and 
bronzy maroon. This perfect thicket of foliage if pruned

A ROYAL PRINCESS 
Tibouchina semidecandra grandiflora. Princess Flower. A 
well rounded 4-ft. shrub clothed with bronzy red and green 
foliage that reminds one of the softest velvet. Along in June 
huge red buds appear in profusion, in July they open in a 
burst of glorious 4-inch single flowers of exquisite royal 
purple. The flowers continue into winter and, if the winter 
is warm, they will continue into spring. What other shrub 
can match this winter performance? Give it sun or part

SWEET VIBURNUM 
Viburnum Burkwoodii. A comparatively new cross be- 
tween the popular Viburnum Carlesii and Viburnum utile 
that holds its glossy foliage, in our mild climate, through 
winter. In spring its huge clusters of white blooms diffuse 
the pungent fragrance of Gardenias. Full sun or part shade.

Viburnum japonicum. For mass planting or grown as a

charming in every particular. Shade. Hardy. 10 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 50c. 
Viburnum suspensum. For years one of our most popular 
shrubs. “If in doubt, plant suspensum” seems to have been 
the rule—a pretty good rule, too, for the dark glossy leaved 
shrub will thrive in either sun or shade and is not affected 
by cold. It is equally useful for heavy background planting 
or for informal hedges as the plants are well-foliaged to the 
ground and always thick and bushy with a little pruning. 
Racemes of inconspicuous white flowers with the rich fra- 
grance of orange blossoms appear in mid-winter. Hardy. 
Balled, bushy. 4-414 ft., $4.00; 31%4-4 ft., $3.50; 3-3% ft., $2.50;

Viburnum Tinus lucidum. Improved Laurustinus. Through 
searing heat and freezing cold, in sun or shade, from New 
Year’s day until Christmas this dark heavy foliaged shrub 
keeps its cool neat appearance. During winter the plant is 
positively smothered with thick heads of frosty white flow- 
ers. Use them for massed planting, for screens, as individual 
specimen plants or trim them into hedges—they are equally 
good for any of these uses. Balled, bushy 4-4™% ft., $3.50; 
3-4 ft., $2.50; 2%4-3 ft., $1.80; 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal.

green is desired this plant has no equal. Its thin pliant 
branches are easily trained in any desired form. The glisten- 
ing 1%-in, leaves remain on the plant through all seasons. 
Grown as a shrub it will form a compact mound of deep 
ereen beauty. Not affected by extremes of temperature. Sun.
