CRAPE MYRTLE 
Lagerstroemia indica 
The favorite Flowering Shrub of the South. A 
hardy and Heavy bloomer; it paints the Landscape in 
the Summer months with its brilliant blossoms in tones 
of Crimson Red, Pink, Lavender and White. Frequent- 
ly termed the ‘‘Lilaec of the South”. Beautiful display 
of color unrivaled the first Summer. The most gener- 
ous usage and the demand of recent years indicates its 
great popularity. 
PRUNE EVERY WINTER: For best results Crape 
Myrtles should be cut back to One Foot of the ground 
when planted. By using B&B in big sizes you get 
better root systems. Then every year thereafter, 
prune them back to within two to four inches where 
they were the year before. In this way you get much 
larger flowers, thick branches, and dense foliage. 
We grow most of ours in Balling Soil—it pays to 
Ball them. Write on order if Single Stem, or if Bushy 
Plants are wanted. 
DWARF BLUE L. i. courulea nana 
Low spreading, lavender-blue flowers in loose panicles which
