STATELY EUGENIAS 
EUGENIA MYRTIFOLIA. Probably most popular of 
all varieties, it is used mostly as a trained pillar or 
pyramid. Very compact, with myrtle-like foliage, new 
growth reddish, later turning to green. Can be used 
for a hedge, and will stand trimming. Will grow to 
12 or 15 feet in time. 
EUGENIA SMITHI. Not often listed, but one of the 
finest Eugenias in our estimation. Has beautiful shiny 
bronzy-green foliage, and with hanging clusters of 
lavender berries in winter, it gives a grand showing. 
Grows tall and slender, but slower than others. 7

SMALL-LEAVED RUBBER TREE 
FICUS NITIDA. One of the most beautiful shrubs 
or small trees grown. It is clothed with deep green 
foliage, and can be kept as a trimmed hedge, al- 
lowed to grow into a nice small tree, or shaped into 
any desired form. Often used in pots or tubs, and 
will thrive in sun or shade; thus an ideal subject 
for porch or patio. It is slow growing, so can be 
used in its younger age in various ways before plant- 
ing in its permanent spot in the garden. Truly a 
shrub of natural beauty. 
PINEAPPLE GUAVA 
FEIJOA SELLOWIANA. With many fine shrubs you 
can get double use—beauty and edible fruit. The 
Pineapple Guava is one of these. Feijoa can be 
trimmed to hedge size or allowed to grow upwards 
of 10 feet. Glossy deep green leaves, silvery gray 
underneath, with lovely pinkish white flowers. Plumes 
of conspicuous red stamens fill the centers of the 
waxy flowers. The fruit, with a distinct aroma of 
pineapple, ripens in the fall and is about the size of 
an egg. Makes delicious jellies and is excellent eaten 
out of hand.
