Strawberry Tree 
Arbutus unedo. Strawberry Tree, a shrub, gets its name from the 
bright red fruits which look like strawberries. Flowers are tiny white 
bells in graceful sprays and these cover the well-foliaged shrub in 
spring—sometimes at the same time the fruits are showing. Although 
it is one of the longest lived ornamentals, it is likewise one of the hardi- 
est of all. It stands abuse well—as in city gardens with poor soil and 
little attention. The thick dark green leatnery leaves make a lovely 
contrast with the bright fruits. Sun or shade. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.95. 
Gold Dust Plant 
Aucuba japonica variegata. For open ground or in ornamental tubs or 
jardinieres where ornamental foliage is needed; Aucuba is best, particu- 
larly if the situation is somewhat shaded. Leaves about 5 inches long, 
by 2 inches wide, thick, deep green with many gold-like speckles over 
the surface—very interesting and ornamental. Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.50. 
Shrimp Plant 
Beloperone tomentosa. Usually about 4 feet tall with the appearance 
of being a perennial, this shrub is most unique. The flowers which seem 
to last indefinitely, are made of terra cotta colored scales or bracts, 
curled in such a way and enveloping one another as to look like a 
shrimp. For sun or light shade, even as a pot plant for the conservatory 
—for your friends in cold climates. Always in bloom. Gal. 60c, 5-gal. 
$2.95. 
Yesterday and Today 
Brunfelsia floribunda. Sweetly scented flowers, opening a lovely shade 
of lavender—fading to white. The in-between shade is slightly pink- 
ish and suggests the name since all stages of flowers appear at the 
same time. This is one of the best shrubs for foundation planting. 
Generally not over 4 or 5 feet, although it will get twice as large. 
Deep green closely placed leaves and choice flowers make a pretty 
and showy sight in spring. Sun or shade. Gal. 95c, 5-gal. $3.95. 
Boxwood 
Buxus japonica. The most satisfactory plant for hedge planting. It is 
evergreen and hardy with tiny dark green leaves set close together; 
stands merciless shearing with quick recovery. For hedges set smaller 
plants 8 to 12 inches apart and allow to grow together. Boxwood 
makes excellent specimen shrubs in the garden, especially where 
clipped shapes are wanted as in formal gardens. You may select spe- 
cially trained specimens at Rosedale’s.
