CORREA pulchella. (rutaceae) Australia. Introduced by us. Known 
in Australia as the Australian Fuchsia. A dwarf evergreen shrub, small, 
grayish rounded leaves, producing in spring and winter a profusion of 
bell-shaped pink flowers which are very graceful and charming. This 
plant will withstand ten degrees of frost or more without serious damage, 
is better in full sun, though it will thrive and flower in light shade, but 
must have, and insists upon good drainage. 22° (GH).

CROTALARIA agatiflora. ‘‘Canary Bird Bush’’ (leguminosae) 
South and East Africa. (This is the true C. agatiflora—not to be con- 
fused with the inferior C. cunninghami). Large spreading evergreen 
shrub with sage green compound foliage, carrying innumerable long 
spikes of chartreuse yellow flowers, which resemble Canary birds hang- 
ing on a bough. We have seen shrubs with over 100 spikes in flower at 
one time on the plant, each spike being two or three feet long. It should 
have a hot sunny situation, is not particular as to soil, will stand a good 
many degrees of frost and if it is cut down will come up again from the 
roots. It should be cut back hard occasionally to induce a bushy habit. 
Almost a perpetual bloomer, and lights up everything around it.

Brazil. Bold evergreen shrub with handsome foliage and terminal 
clusters of pink trumpet shaped flowers over a considerable part of the 
year. Will stand a few degrees of cold but is not recommended for un- 
usually cold regions. This plant is very rare and a noble and aristocratic 
subject. Invariably excites admiration. Full or half sun and plenty of 
water and fertilizer during the summer. 25°.

DURANTA stenostachya. (verbenaceae) Brazil. A distinct species 
similar to the ordinary D. plumeri with the exception that it is dwarfer, 
and does not take up anything like the same amount of room. It holds 
its foliage better in the winter, is virtually spineless and produces an 
abundance of its lavender-blue flowers in racemes. Highly desirable 
evergreen shrub and so far uncommon. 24°. 1 gal. $0.85; 5 gal. $2.00.
