FRAGRANT BOUVARDIAS 
Bouvardia Humboldti. Long snow-white tubular flowers 
that fill the days and nights with fragrance. Greatly prized 
for use in corsages; also as cut flowers. Substantial waxy 
foliage. The plants should be cut back at least once each year 
to keep them in shape and to encourage new growth. Semi- 
hardy. Sun or part shade. 2-3 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.50; gal. 
containers, 60c. 
Bouvardia Coral Red. Rich coral red. Gal. containers, 60c. 
BRUNFELSIA 
Brunfelsia calycina floribunda. Yesterday and Today. 
Compact shrub with rich green foliage, producing through 
spring l-inch flat single flowers which open a rich violet but 
change with the passing days through lavender to clear 
white. From the time the flowers first open, until the last 
white petal has fallen, they diffuse a fragrance that is almost 
an inspiration. Sounds too good to be true? Come in and see 
for yourself. Plant in moist location. Hardy. Sun or partial 
shade. 4-6 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. containers, 60c.

CEANOTHUS SOREDIATUS See page 19 
BOXWOOD 
Buxus japonica. A most useful plant for our mild climate. 
It is widely used for low hedges to border walks, drives and 
formal gardens. Grows slowly hence needs little pruning. As 
trimmed specimen plants they are excellent subjects for pots 
or wherever formal plants are needed. Trimmed globes, 12- 
15 in., $2.50, pyramids, 24-26 in., $3.50; gal. containers, 50c; 
3-in. pots, $1.50 per doz. Flats of 100 plants, 4-5 in., $2.80. 
DAINTY AZARA 
Azara microphylla. For dainty tracery against shaded or 
partially shaded walls it is particularly desirable. Airy, glis- 
tening green leaves and thin stems lend a grace that makes 
the plant indispensable. Branches are good for cutting, too. 
Hardy. Part shade. 6-8 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 60c. 
Barosma pulchella. A little dwarf shrub to 2 ft. with slen- 
der twigs and small dense foliage that displays racemes of 
small lavender bloom in late spring and early summer. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.50; gal. containers, 50c. 
Bauhinia tomentosa. St. Thomas Tree. Single l-inch flow- 
ers, the upper petals of which are handsomely marked with 
red. The small heart-shaped leaves flutter with the slightest 
breeze, reminding you a little of the quaking asp. We've 
always admired the plant. We think you'll like it, too. Semi- 
hardy. Sun. 6-8 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. contain- 
ers, $1.00. 
FLAME BUSH 
Calliandra Guildingii. From far-off Trinidad comes this 
fern-like foliaged shrub with the large heads of brilliant 
scarlet flowers. Through summer and until mid-winter the 
startling blossoms make their appearance. Is quite hardy. 
Good drainage and plenty of sun. 7-8 ft. 5-gal. containers, 
$2.00; gal. containers, 75c, 
BOTTLE BRUSH 
Callistemon viminalis. One of the newer and by far the 
best of the bottle brush family. From early spring until 
summer this large, willowy, fast growing shrub is simply 
smothered with bright scarlet cylindrical flowers. When in 
bloom the effect of this shrub is almost breath-taking. And 
we hope we're not exaggerating! Full sun is best. Hardy. 

12-15 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. See
