CAPE JASMINE - Gardenias 
We have excellent soil for the growing of Cape Jasmine (Gardinias) and when they are dug B&B from our 
heavy black Balling soil, they hold up and transplant for immediate results. We also pride our fields of Cape 
Jasmine shrubs very highly, as they are free of NEMATODE and WHITE FLY and you can use them in the most 
exacting planting with a pride of giving your Customers the very best. 
CAPE JASMINE—Gardenia 
One of the most commonly known Evergreen Flow- 
ering Shrubs in the Gardens of the South. Very 
popular for their fragrant, white flowers. Does not 
like Lime or Alkali soil. Prefers neutral or Acid soils. 

Dwarf Gardenias are most useful to border walks, 
and fore-ground groups of a Formal Garden. They 
are green the year ’round, and produce a mass of 
tiny white sweet scented flowers in the Spring.
