dark green stems. The bushy little plant (it only grows to 
21% ft.) maintains its even temper through any weather and

plant that is intensely interesting and outstandingly lovely 
every day in the year. In fall its large clusters of holly-like

fragrance. Hardy anywhere. Sun or part shade. 8 ft. 5-gal.

bronzy maroon. This perfect thicket of foliage if pruned

Tibouchina semidecandra grandiflora. Princess Flower. A 
well rounded 4-ft. shrub clothed with bronzy red and green 
foliage that reminds one of the softest velvet. Along in June 
huge red buds appear in profusion, in July they open in a 
burst of glorious 4-inch single flowers of exquisite royal 
purple. The flowers continue into winter and, if the winter 
is warm, they will continue into spring. What other shrub 
can match this winter performance? Give it sun or part 
shade. Sometimes gets frosted but generally grows up again 
quickly. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 40c. See
