GARDENIAS 
Gardenia Mystery. Why it should be called Mystery is 
more than we can tell you unless it’s beyond human under- 
standing how so much perfume, beauty and grace can be con- 
tained in three inches of glowing waxy whiteness. Contrary 
to the opinion of many folks Gardenias are not at all diffi- 
cult to manage if a few simple rules are observed. Choose 
a sunny well-drained spot. Combine one-third peat with your 
soil when planting. Apply any good complete commercial 
fertilizer three times at six week intervals beginning about 
April 15. At the same time add a small spoonful or two of 
soil sulphur depending upon the size of the plant. Blooms 
through summer. Hardy. Balled, 1%-2 ft., $4.00; 15-18 in.,

GOLDEN DOLLARS 
Hypericum patulum henryi. We are quite partial to this 
outstanding plant for almost too many reasons to enumerate. 
In the first place its big golden blossoms are carried through 
most of the year. The bronze tipped willowy branches appear 
clean and cool through all seasons. Frosty winter nights 
paint the lower leaves in brilliant shades of red and gold. As 
the plant grows to only 2 or 3 feet it is not too large to fit in 
most anywhere. Sun or shade. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, 
$2.50; gal. containers, 75c.
