A ROYAL PRINCESS 
Tibouchina semidecandra grandiflora. Princess Flower. 
Provides a dazzling display of huge red buds and single royal 
purple flowers from August to November and, during warm 
winters, until April. Furry leaves, green flushed with bronzy- 
red, are as soft and smooth as velvet. If you do not have this 
shrub you are missing a thrilling experience. Hardy except 
in coldest winters. Sun or part shade. 4-5 ft. 5-gal. contain- 
ers, $2.75; gal. containers, 85c. 
SWEET VIBURNUM 
Viburnum burkwoodi. In our judgment there is no fra- 
grance to compare with the rich smooth perfume of this va- 
riety. In late spring and summer their showy white panicles 
will thrill you with their sweetness. You'll enjoy their big 
dark substantial leaves and sturdy growth. Hardy. Sun or 
part shade. 4-6 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 
$1.00. 
Viburnum japonicum. For mass planting or grown as a 
specimen in shaded areas this handsome shrub with its thick 
mass of light green leathery leaves will form an excellent 
background for begonias, primroses, cyclamen or other 
shade-loving flowering plants. 8-10 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.75; gal. containers, 85c. 
Viburnum odoratissimum. A sturdy shrub of generous pro- 
portions, clothed with huge 5- to 6-inch leaves that appear to 
have been polished each morning. A marvelous shrub for 
planting in wide expanses between windows on the shaded 
side of the house. Grows rapidly. Hardy. 10 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $3.00; gal. containers, 90c. 
Viburnum suspensum. You probably have this plant grow- 
ing in your garden now. If not, we suggest you have over- 
looked one of the finest shrubs that ever came out of China. 
We know of no other shrub that may be successfully used in

as many different locations or for as many purposes. The big 
bright leaves retain their luster through all seasons. Spaced 
six feet apart the plants will develop into an informal screen 
of outstanding loveliness. They may be planted at three-foot 
intervals and pruned in hedge form. As individual specimen 
shrubs in either sun or shade they are unequaled. Hardy.

Viburnum tinus lucidum. When these sturdy shrubs are in 
full bloom they might well be compared to a young snow 
storm for in winter the dense frosty white flower heads cover 
the plant completely. Equally satisfactory for screening pur- 
poses, for formal hedges or as specimen shrubs. Dense dark 
foliage that is always presentable. Hardy. Sun or part shade. 
6-8 ft. Balled, 3-4 ft., $6.00; 2-3 ft., $2.75; 5-gal. containers, 
$2.75; gal. containers, 75c. 
RADIANT XYLOSMA 
Xylosma senticosa. As the branches are willowy and pliant 
this shrub lends itself particularly well to training against 
walls. The glistening foliage is not affected by extremes of 
temperature and supplies permanent rich covering wherever 
planted. Will grow to 6 or 8 ft. but will form a compact 
attractive mound of glistening green to 4 or 5 ft. with a little 
pruning. Sun. Hardy. Balled, 3-4 ft., $8.50; 5-gal. contain- 
ers, $3.00; gal. containers, 90c.

Daphne, Erica, Grevillea, Tibouchina and, of course, Azaleas 
and Camellias. They’re all described in these pages. Turn
