Berries are said to be yellow. We haven’t had it long enough to know about that, but 
consider it well worth planting for foliage effect alone.” We still haven’t seen the ber- 
ries, probably because plants are sold before they have a chance to fruit, but admire 
its foliage as well as always. Pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.25. 
ILEX yunnanensis, YUNNAN HOLLY (7). We think this deserves repeating what we 
said last year when we first described it: “Our experience with this is limited but we 
are expecting great things from it. Leaves are very small and not at all “holly-like.” 
In fact they are about the size and shape of those of Boxwood. It is said to attain 10 
or 12 feet in height but we think that would require many years as it is not fast growing. 
We never dreamed that flowers of Holly could be other than white but in this case they 
are actually pink! The berries are not large but are very bright red and color up as 
early as September here where we have seen them on pot grown plants only 4 or 5 
inches tall. Well worth trying, particularly in small gardens.” Pot grown 6 to 8 in. 
$1.50. 
JASMINUM parkeri, PARKER JASMINE (7). This miniature shrub probably won’t 
get over a foot tall. Dainty is just the word for it. The deep green leaves and leaflets 
are very small, growth rounded and decidedly compact; flowers bright yellow and plenty 
of them. Any rock garden that has this can be proud! Pot grown 6 to 8 in. $1.00. 
LEPTOSPERMUM scoparium eximium (9). This is very new as it was first shown at 
the Chelsea Show in 1938 and received the A.M.R.H.S. The shrub is of spreading habit, 
has unusually rich green, small leaves, and bears an abundance of snow-white flowers 
making a very fine effect. Don’t be prejudiced by the common “Tea Tree”; this is some- 
thing decidedly different and unquestionably very good. Pot grown 1% to 2 ft. $1.25, 
1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
OSMANTHUS ilicitolius (O. aquifolium), HOLLY OSMANTHUS (6). This fine shrub 
has been mentioned several times previously. (See G. A. 44). We now want to point 
out that the foliage on seedlings is much more attractive and “holly-like”’ than when 
grafted but they do not bloom as young. Those ordering will please state if seedlings 
are preferred. Balled (grafted) 1% to 2 ft. $3.00, 1 to 1% ft. $2.50; pot grown (seed- 
lings) 1% to 2 ft. $1.50, 1 to 1% ft. $1.25; pot grown (grafted and seedlings) 8 to 12 in. 
$1.00. 
*OSMANTHUS ilicifolius Silverrim (6). A form of preceding with foliage strongly sil- 
ver variegated particularly around edges of leaves. A good plant of rather vigorous 
erect growth. Pot grown 8 to 12 in, $1.25, 6 to 8 in. $1.00. 
HLT 
For many years we have imported from the Orient seed of Magnolia 
and Wisteria from which to raise grafting stocks. Of course we can't get 
it now and none is available commercially in this country. So if we are 
going to continue raising these beautiful plants our only resource seems 
to be to broadcast an §.O.S. signal to our friends to send us anything 
available not only now, but next fall. Wisteria can be sent “pods and 
all’’ soon after leaves have fallen; Magnolias when “fruit” is fully ripe 
but before seeds have commenced to show, however we want only the 
deciduous types and not the evergreens like Magnolia grandiflora, etc. 
We can use practically any quantity of both Wisteria and Magnolia 
and will be very glad either to pay for it or to reciprocate by sending 
plants in return as sender may prefer. Lots large enough may be sent by 
express collect; if small lots are mailed we will promptly refund postage.
