dense hedges, particularly those a foot or less in height. The

type of hedge. Also makes a beautiful dwarf specimen for 
garden use or in foundation plantings. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85.

time the broad flat clusters of red berries add to the color.

stiff stems, but dainty foliage and flowers. Sun. Gal. 70c,

unusual.It is difficult to tell whether this shrub from Africa is in 
bloom or in fruit. To start with, the showy part of the flower is a 
red flower-like disc upon which are curious little yellow beak-like 
flowers, which later develop into green berries and finally to 
jet black. All the time, the calyx retains its bright scarlet color.

the smallest of intimate gardens. Use it also as a specimen 
shrub for sun or part shade. Gal. 95c, 5-gal. $3.50.

green and as if this were not enough, sports heavy clusters of 
red berries at Christmas time. Sun or shade. Gal. 75¢, 5-gal.
