VIBURNUM TINUS LUCIDUM 
Xylosma senticosum. As an espalier where no color but 
green is desired this plant has no equal. Its thin pliant 
branches are easily trained in any desired form. The glisten- 
ing 1%-in, leaves remain on the plant through all seasons. 
Grown as a shrub it will form a compact mound of deep 
green beauty. Not affected by extremes of temperature. Sun. 
4-6 ft. Balled, bushy 1%-2 ft., $2.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.00; 
gal. containers, 60c. 
SWEET VIBURNUM 
Viburnum Burkwoodii. A comparatively new cross be- 
tween the popular Viburnum Carlesii and Viburnum utile 
that holds its glossy foliage, in our mild climate, through 
winter. In spring its huge clusters of white blooms diffuse 
the pungent fragrance of Gardenias. Full sun or part shade. 
Hardy. 4 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.00. 
Viburnum japonicum. For mass planting or grown as a 
specimen in shaded areas this handsome shrub with its thick 
mass of light green leathery leaves will form an excellent 
background for begonias, primroses, cyclamen or other 
shade-loving flowering plants. 6-7 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. 
Viburnum odoratissimum. A shrub of large dimensions 
fully clothed with enormous magnolia-like leaves that are 
highly polished. A most satisfactory plant to fill large 
spaces against walls or for use as a screen. Thoroughly 
charming in every particular. Shade. Hardy. 10 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 50c. 
Viburnum suspensum. For years one of our most popular 
shrubs. “If in doubt, plant suspensum” seems to have been 
the rule—a pretty good rule, too, for the dark glossy leaved 
shrub will thrive in either sun or shade and is not affected 
by cold. It is equally useful for heavy background planting 
or for informal hedges as the plants are well-foliaged to the 
ground and always thick and bushy with a little pruning. 
Racemes of inconspicuous white flowers with the rich fra- 
grance of orange blossoms appear in mid-winter. Hardy. 
Balled, bushy 4-41 ft., $4.00; 314-4 ft., $3.00; 3-3%4 ft., $2.50; 
214-3 ft., $2.00; 2-214 ft., $1.80; 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. 
containers, 40c. 
Viburnum Tinus lucidum, Improved Laurustinus. Through 
searing heat and freezing cold, in sun or shade, from New 
Year’s day until Christmas this dark heavy foliaged shrub 
keeps its cool neat appearance. During winter the plant is 
positively smothered with thick heads of frosty white flow- 
ers. Use them for massed planting, for screens, as individual 
specimen plants or trim them into hedges—they are equally 
good for any of these uses. Balled, bushy 4-4% ft., $3.50; 
3-4 it. $2.50:° 21423 ts $1.80; 5-gal.. Containers, $1.75; galt

BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREEN TREES 
Please note, following descriptions, approximate height trees will grow. 
THE SHOWY ACACIAS 
Of the evergreen trees few supply as much brilliant color, 
grace of limb or attractive foliage as the Acacias. Their 
decorative value, when cut, is known to everyone and for 
rapidity of growth even the weeds have to take second 
place. The larger varieties may not survive heavy winds 
unless properly thinned in fall. They enjoy sun, good drain- 
age and require a minimum of moisture. Hardy. 
Prices, unless otherwise noted: 5-gal. containers, $1.75; 
gal. containers, 50c. 
Acacia Baileyana. The blue green fern-like foliage is alive 
in early spring with sweetly scented lemon yellow bloom. 
A spreading tree of rapid growth to 25 ft. 
Acacia latifolia. An excellent barrier along lot lines or 
around tennis court or swimming pool as with a little prun- 
ing its long bright leaves will form a heavy screen. Valu- 
able also for draping over tall garden walls. Provides great 
quantities of large bright yellow flowers. 10-12 ft. 
Acacia longifolia floribunda. Most any time during spring 
or summer you may cut sprays of dainty sulphur yellow 
blossoms. Long narrow leaves. Bushy habit. 25-30 ft. 
Acacia podalyriaefolia. Pear] Acacia. Handsomest of all 
the acacias. It not only is the first variety to flaunt its yellow 
bloom in spring but its slender drooping branches and round 
leaves are the most interesting shade of shimmering silver 
green imaginable. Spreading habit. 12 ft. 
ORCHIDS ON TREES 
Bauhinia purpurea. A small tree of upright growth that is 
filled with colorful orchids in spring and huge green butter- 
flies in summer. (We may be running a little wild with our 
metaphors.) However, during March and April shallow 3-in. 
cup-shaped flowers of pink shaded lavender and purple are 
borne in marvelous profusion. They never fail to bring forth 
exclamations of amazement and appreciation. All through 
summer lobed leaves that resemble overgrown butterflies 
spread their wings each morning and fold them tightly at 
night. Hardy except in coldest locations. 12-15 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $2; gal. containers, 60c. See illustration, page 20. 
Bauhinia purpurea alba. Identical to foregoing variety ex- 
cept that the flowers are white. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; 
gal. containers, 60c. 
CAPE CHESTNUT 
Calodendrum capensis. From South Africa comes this 
spreading light green foliaged beauty. Late in spring when 
most flowering trees have lost their color, the branch tips 
of this variety are heavy with large panicles of rosy-lilac 
flowers that are dotted with purple. Easily grown with good 
drainage. 40 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 60c.
