JASMINUM ligustrifolium. (oleaceae). Evergreen shrub which can 
also be grown as a climber. This plant possesses unusually attractive 
lustrous small green foliage, with small white fragrant flowers. Can be 
used in the same manner as Trachelospermum jasminoides. It makes 
a beautiful low hedge if kept trimmed; in fact it can be used in almost any 
manner in any situation. Hardy to many degrees of cold. None of the 
Jasmines resent being watered. 18°. I Gak~p0:508 Sgalegh-75. 
KUNZEA rosea. ‘‘Rosy Mountain Bush’’ (myrtaceae) Australia. 
Graceful, medium sized evergreen shrub with small foliage, arching 
habit of growth, covered in spring and summer with rosy myrtaceous 
flowers. Likes sun and good drainage. 24°. 1 gal. $0.85; 5 gal. $2.00. 
KUNZEA sericea. ‘“‘Glowing Mountain Bush’’ (myrtaceae) West- 
ern Australia. Introduced by us, we consider this one of the most 
beautiful plants we know, a comparatively dwarf evergreen shrub with 
drooping habit, minute foliage, and feathery intensely crimson flowers 
in loosely arranged clusters. We have not been able to learn the ulti- 
mate size of this shrub, but it would appear to have a reasonably dwarf 
habit. Like all the members of this family, it will probably endure quite 
a little frost, must have good drainage and not be over watered. 22°. 
1 gal. $1.00. 
LASIANDRA laxa. ‘Trailing Princess Flower’’ (melastomaceae) 
South America. Scandent, or climbing form of the ordinary Pleroma, 
but with smaller leaves and long trailing branches on which are pro- 
duced innumerable purple flowers, similar to those of the ordinary Prin- 
cess Plant. Particularly attractive growing against a wall or trailing 
over a wall: Must have good drainage and a reasonable amount of 
water. Half shade. 25°. 1 gal. $0.60. 
LIBONIA floribunda. (acanthaceae) Brazil. Dwarf, evergreen shrub 
with small neat foliage. A profuse winter and spring bloomer, the red 
and yellow flowers affording vivid color in mid-winter. Likes a soil on 
the acid side, half shade, and plenty of moisture. While this has been 
in the country for years, it is hardly ever seen. Very gay and beautiful, 
and easily grown. 25°. (GH.) 1 gal. $0.50; 5 gal. $1.75, 
LUCULIA gratissima. “‘Flower of Heaven’’ (rubiaceae) Himalayas. 
Choice evergreen shrub, handsome foliage, very large terminal corymbs 
of salver-shaped flowers which are light rosy pink and delightfully fra- 
grant, twenty to forty flowers in acluster. Variable in its blooming. This 
~ plant must have good drainage and will sometimes perish in spite of all 
the care which can be given it. Itis, however, so beautiful and desirable 
that it is well worth cultivating. (GH). 1 gal. $1.00. 
MACKAYA bella. (acanthaceae) South Africa. [Evergreen shrub. 
Has been in our gardens for many years but is far too seldom seen. In 
our opinion, it is one of the most beautiful and desirable of all shade lov- 
ing flowering shrubs. Likes half shade, acid soil, good drainage. While
