A TRAILING BEAUTY 
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. A most welcome addition to our 
list of trailing shrubs. Spreads a cool mat of slender twigs 
and dark, inch-long leaves that maintains its trim appearance 
throughout the year. In early spring tiny white Chinese 
lanterns hang on fragile stems, nodding with the slightest 
breeze. We like it very, very much. Hardy. Spreads to 4 
feet. Sun or light shade. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.35. 
BLUE SHRUB ASTER 
Aster fruticosus. An importation from South Africa that 
thrives here if planted in a well drained location. In late 
spring and early summer the dense heather-like foliage is 
nearly covered with bright lavender-blue asters. Requires lit- 
tle water, no fertilizer and practically no attention. Hardy. 
2-3 ft. Sun. 5-gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 85c. 
INSPIRING AZALEAS 
If there are any plants that enjoy blooming more than the 
azaleas we haven't discovered them. Whether it is the 
Kurume with its sudden burst of single or semi-double flow- 
ers or the Indica with its more protracted bloom and larger 
flowers—well, we find we must have both kinds and plenty 
of them. Enjoy shade and good drainage. Should be planted 
in peat.- Hardy. 
INDICA AZALEAS. $1.75 to $17.50. Not all sizes in all 
varieties. Magnificent blooms to.3 inches across, mostly dou- 
ble or ruffled, over several months. 
Albert and Elizabeth. Pale pink flushed deep pink. 
Mme. Vandercruyssen. Large clear salmon pink. 
Paul Schame. Lustrous coral salmon. 
Prof. Walters. Large single ruffled. Pink and white. 
Snowdrift. Large glistening single white. 
Vervaeneana. Double pink edged with white. 
KURUME AZALEAS. Prices on all varieties: 5-inch pots, 
$1.25. 
Appleblossom. Pale pink with rose markings. 
Cherry Ripe. Dark red. 
Coral Bells. 
Purity. Clear white. 
Bright rose. 
Salmon Queen. Deep salmon. 
SWEET SCENTED BOUVARDIA 
Bouvardia Albatross. The older variety, Humboldti, was 
prized for its fragrance and snow whiteness but until you have 
experienced the full permeating fragrance of this variety you 
will not know how really exciting the perfume of a Bouvardia 
can be. The clean tubular flowers are at least twice the size 
of the older variety. Matchless for use in corsages and a 
thrilling garden subject, too. Prune the plants severely about 
the first of March. Hardy. Sun. 2-3 ft. Gal. containers, $1.35. 
YESTERDAY AND TODAY 
Brunfelsia calycina floribunda. Yesterday, Today and To- 
morrow—and, as this refreshing shrub continues to bloom 
year after year with exemplary regularity, we'd like to add 
“Forever”. The large fragrant flowers open a rich violet 
blue but change with the passing days through lavender to 
white. So, throughout the long summer blooming season each 
colorful plant is an inspiring study of contrasting shades. 
Appreciates moistures and sun or partial shade. Hardy. 4-5 
ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.25. 

BOUVARDIA ALBATROSS—The last word in 
exquisite fragrance. 
BOXWOOD 
Buxus microphylla japonica. Through many years has 
been the favorite low hedge for bordering walks, drives and 
formal gardens. Grows slowly so requires a minimum of 
shearing. Trimmed specimens are popular, too, for spots 
where use of formal plants is indicated. Sun or part shade. 
Hardy. Trimmed globes, 12-16 in., $4.00; pyramids, 22-24 in., 
$4.00; gal. containers, 75c; 3-in. pots, $3.00 per doz. Flats of 
100 plants, 4-5 in., $6.25. 
TRINIDAD FLAME BUSH 
Calliandra guildingi. A well-grown specimen of this va- 
riety in full bloom is a thrilling sight, indeed. The tip of 
each slender branch is aflame with big erect tufts of glowing 
scarlet. Foliage is soft and fern-like. In spite of its fragile 
appearance the plant is quite hardy and drought resistant. 
Blooms through summer and fall. Sun. 7-8 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.50; gal. containers. $1.25 
CAMELLIAS 
Many people think Camellias difficult to grow. Our ex- 
perience has been entirely to the contrary. As a matter of 
fact we feel that few plants are as easily grown and certainly 
no plants will supply more bloom over a long period. Enjoy 
peat or leaf mold, part shade and good drainage. 
Alba Plena. Clear white, extremely full flowers to 4 inches 
across. Bushy plant. 2-gal. containers, $6.00; gal. containers, 
$3.75. 
Bella Romana. Huge double bloom of rose pink delicately 
lined with deeper color. An outstanding camellia in any com- 
pany. 2-gal. containers, $5.00; gal. containers, $3.00. 
Chandleri Elegans. Enormous peony centered flowers to 
6 inches across. Crisp pink petals brushed with white. 2-gal. 
containers, $5.25; gal. containers, $3.50.
