Myrtus compacta—This is a new cousin to the more common Ger- 
man myrtle. It makes a very dense growth and is a good sub- 
stitute for boxwood. It is hardy as far north as Norfolk, Va. and 
we believe its range will extend a good bit further than this. The 
foliage is very fragrant and we believe this to be one of the best 
additions to our list of new plant material. Available 6-8”, 35c; 
8-10", 75c; 10-15”, $1.50 and 18-24", $3.00 plants. 
Osmanthus aquifolium—(Sweet Holly)—This plant with its holly- 
like leaves is quite often mistaken for real holly. It is a profuse 
bloomer in late fall and the flowers are very fragrant. It can be 
used as a specimen or as a hedge plant. Plants available 8-10”, 
35c; 10-12", 50c and 3-4 ft., $2.50. 
Osmanthus fragrans—{Tea Olive)—Same size and price as above. 
Podocarpus Maki—Japanese Yew—A beautiful evergreen with 
upright branching limbs, the plants can be pruned so that they 
take some desired shape, or they may be allowed to grow into a 
small trees. The narrow leaves are about 2¥% inches long, bright 
green when young and darker when older. An excellent plant 
for hedges, screens or specimen. 10-12", 35c; 12-15”, 50c; 15-18”, 
$1.00. 
Pyracantha formosana—We believe this to be the finest of all 
the Pyracanthas for growing in the Coastal Regions. For several 
years we have grown it at Orton, and it has proven desirable in 
every respect. In the autumn and winter the shrubs are heavily 
laden with large clusters of brilliant red berries. It does not seem 
to be so much affected by insect and scale damage as do the 
other species or varieties. 10-12", 30c; 2-3 ft., $2.00; 3-4 ft., $3.00. 
Sand Myrtle—A native plant of great beauty, it has narrow; 
glossy box-like leaves. Blooming in early spring, it transforms 
the bare Sand hills of the Coastal Regions into billowing masses 
of white. Useful either as border or specimen plants. Medium 
clump, $1.00. 
Viburnum Burkwoodii—This new viburnum is evergreen and has 
larger and more fragrant flower clusters than Carlesi. It has re- 
ceived high praise from the horticulture profession. 2 yr. graft, 
$2.00; 3 ft., $3.00. 
Viburnum Carlesi—This very attractive shrub is a native of Korea. 
Having gray-green leaves, the buds are pink, the open blooms in 
creamy white clusters. It blossoms in the early spring, and in 
addition to its handsome appearance it possesses a pleasing 
perfume somewhat like that of the gardenia. 2-3 ft., $3.00. 
Viburnum laurestinus—This is the well known viburnum, which is 
planted throughout the South for its pretty foliage and showy 
white flower clusters in the early spring. Available 10-12". 50c; 
12-15", 75c; 24-30", $1.50 size. |
