CANARY BIRD TREE (Crotalaria Agatifolia) 

Grow Rosedale’s Gardenias 
Breath of Heaven 
Diosma. For quick effect in foundation planting and for filling 
in holes at the bases of screen plantings, this rounded 4-foot 
shrub with fine yellow-green heather foliage is particularly use- 
ful. In winter and spring it is covered with tiny flowers in quan- 
tities such as to color the entire shrub. We offer both pink and 
white flowered forms. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85. 
Golden Dew Drop 
Duranta stenostachys. New. An improvement over the old 
Duranta, is this closer growing form, particularly desirable for 
its better foliage, especially in winter, almost spineless growth, 
and lavender verbena-like flowers, followed by yellow berries. 
Sun. Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.50. 
HEATHER 
Erica melanthera rosea. The best winter blooming heather. A 
tall, narrow, billowy mass of tiny needles covered with small 
ivory pink bells. When in bloom, makes a very beautiful sight. 
Hardy and longer-lived than any of the larger flowered French 
heathers. Gal. 75c, 5-gal. $3.30. 
Eugenia 
Eugenia myrtifolia. Although Eugenia becomes a large tree of 
tremendous proportions, its use as an Ornamental is restricted to 
its early life. When small, it is a compact narrow mass of ex- 
ceptionally fine small leaves, reddish when new, dark glossy 
green as they mature. Stands clipping as well as box and, there- 
fore, makes very fine hedges or tall narrow pillars for accent. 
Trained as a small tree, it shows its rosy-red fruits to best ad- 
vantage. Sun. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $3.85. 
Gold Flower 
Hypericum henryi. Bright golden yellow flowers 1 to 2 inches 
across that literally reflect the gold of sunlight, make this a prize 
for the summer garden. Makes a compact, rounded shrub about 3 
feet high and through, reveling in poor soil and full sun. Gal. 
70c, 5-gal. $2.85.

GARDENIA MYSTERY 
For Corsages . . . GARDENIAS 
Grow Gardenias at home and have your own corsages all sum- 
mer. As ornamental shrubs, Gardenias rate very high—the depth 
of green is not too deep because the sheen on the leaves lightens 
the effect by reflecting light. They require very acid soil and 
often show yellowing in the leaves. Applications of acid fertilizer, 
sulfur or alum correct this and new bright green readily re- 
turns. When the old leaves drop, just before growth, they become 
a rich yellow, which lasts only a short time and is quite different 
from the yellowing caused by alkaline soil. 
Gardenia Rosedale’s Mystery. The finest development in a 
large-flowered Gardenia for home growing. Flowers vary in size 
from 3 to 5 inches across. Sun, but sometimes will do well in 
part shade. Gal. 95c, 5-gal. $3.50. 
Gardenia Veitchi. Desirable as an ‘’ever blooming’’ Gardenia. 
Produces flowers all summer although somewhat smaller in size 
than Mystery, they are none-the-less perfect in form and fra- 
grance. Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.50. 

HOW TO PRUNE EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
Pruning of shrubs in this group should be done as soon 
as new growth starts. This is easily detected by noticing 
new leaves and stems forming, which indicates the sap is 
flowing. Cuts will heal over quickly and growth in the 
desired direction will follow. There is a limit to the 
amount of pruning we should do. Little can be accom- 
plished in the way of dwarfing shrubs. About all we can 
do is to take out old wood and cut wayward growths that 
would otherwise destroy the symmetry of the specimen. 
When used as screen plantings, such shaping is unneces- 
sary because it is the mass of foliage and not the indi- 
vidual specimen that is desired.
