Twe Gauortles 
for the South 
Two of the greatest shrubs grown in the South. Rapid in growth, 
prolific in bloom and beautiful in any planting. They are strictly for 
southern planting and we do not recommend their use north of the 
Ohio River. 
ABELIA GRANDIFLORA 
(Bush Arbutus) 
The Spirea Van Houttei of the South 
Unexcelled for foundation plantings around the house, for specimens about 
the lawn, or for corner group plantings. Rich, glossy green foliage remaining 
the greater part of the year makes them especially desirable. The greatest thrill 
and joy comes in June when the whole bush becomes a snowy mound of dainty 
white blooms which remain until frost. Grow to a height of 4 feet and never 
become coarse or woody. As hardy as California Privet. Extremely severe winters 
may .freeze back the bloom buds but will not kill the plant as they will sprout 
right up again from the roots and bloom the following year. 2-yr., heavy rooted, 
blooming size shrubs, only 50c each; 3 for $1.25, postpaid.
