EUGENIA microphylla. (myrtaceae) Western China. Recently in- 
troduced by ourselves from that country where it is described as very 
dwarf and perfectly hardy. It has bloomed and fruited with us at a 
height of six inches in gallon cans and resembles a midget Eugenia 
myrtifolia. Poali 20.75; 
EURYOPS athanasiae. ‘‘Yellow Tree Daisy’’ (compositae) South 
Africa. Evergreen shrub, growing to a height of three or four feet with 
needle like foliage, bearing over a good part of the year, particularly 
during winter large golden yellow flowers on long stems. Very fine 
thing for cutting. Must have good drainage and not be over watered in 
summer time; dry banks or hillsides are the best places for this. Will

GARDENIA thunbergia. (rubiaceae) South Africa. Quite different 
from the Gardenias ordinarily cultivated in our gardens. Evergreen 
shrub with handsome cut foliage; bearing in the summer, large fragrant 
single white flowers about three inches across. While this plant is 
rather slow growing, there are one or two shrubs in Southern California 
16-18 feet high and as much through. When these are in bloom they 
are worth going a long way to see. Likes reasonable amount of water, 
full sun, good soil on the acid side, but will not stand as much cold as the 
ordinary Gardenia. 16°. eae 1.25- gal, p2.00. 
GNIDIA polystacha. (thymelaceae) South Africa. Evergreen shrub, 
small needle-like foliage. Plant grows to ultimate height of four or five 
feet and as much through. In spring and summer bears innumerable 
clusters of small tubular yellow flowers. A particularly choice and at- 
tractive shrub for dry gardens or hillsides. Fragrantin evening. Should 
not be over watered. Will stand quite a little cold. Full sun. 24°.

GREVILLEA rosmarinifolia. ‘“‘Rosemary Leaved Grevillea’’ (pro- 
teaceae) New South Wales, Australia. Evergreen shrub growing 
to a height of four or five feet and as much across with a dense compact 
habit. Small needle like foliage, pretty pink and white flowers over a 
good part of the year. Will stand fifteen degrees of frost. (This shrub 
has been cultivated for many years in Europe and was introduced into 
Southern California by ourselves.) We believe that on account of its 
beauty, habit and hardiness it is destined to be extensively planted. 
Should have good drainage and not be over watered. Fullsun. 15°.
