DOGWOOD (Cornus) 
Florida. The surest sign of spring in the 
South is the blossoming of the lovely 
Dogwood. Our nursery-grown trees 
have far better root-system than woods- 
grown trees and will give better results.

Tung Trees as Ornamentals 
For the deep South, there is no 
lovelier spring- flowering tree than 
Tung oil. Flowering in early spring, 
before the leaves are full grown, the 
small pinkish white blossoms appear 
in great profusion on the ends of the 
branches. The habit of the tree is 
similar to dogwood. Foliage is large, 
heart-shaped, and a deep lustrous 
green. Highly recommended both as 
an ornamental and for commercial 
use. See page 23 for commercial uses 
and prices of trees.

Spiraea Vanhouttei 
GRASS 
Centipede Grass. Probably the best 
lawn grass for the deep South. Dark 
green, luxuriant growth, both m sun and 
shade. Does not seed so must be planted 
from stolons. Bus. $1.50. 
When labor and packing material 
were plentiful, plants which could 
satisfactorily be moved bare root, were 
often shipped balled and burlapped. 
With these items of labor and packing 
material—especially boxing lumber— 
scarce, it is now necessary to quote the 
smaller sizes of most plants bare root 
only. The saving in labor and material 
is being passed on to you in lower 
prices, as well as reduced transporta- 
tion costs.
