GARDENIAS Ried Bush 
(See page 9) 
For Corsages . . . Home Grown 
(Center) 
Grow Gardenias at home and have your own corsages all summer. Australian 
As ornamental shrubs, Gardenias rate very high—tne depth of green Fuchsia 
is not too deep because the sheen on the leaves lightens the effect by Correa 
reflecting light. They require very acid soil and often show yellowing (See page 9) 
in the leaves. Applications of acid fertilizer, sulfur or alum, correct (Below left) 
this and new bright green readily returns. When the old leaves Alpelicn 
drop, just before growth, they become a rich yellow, which lasts only a Edward 
short time and is quite different from the yellowing caused by alkaline Gaucher 
soil. (See page 6)

Guavas 
Typical shrubs for southern plantings, the Guavas, like their brothers, the Dwarf 
Citrus, combine that rare quality of beauty and utility. As ornamentals they are 
the equal of any shrub planted. The lemon and pineapple are best used as tall 
shrubs while the strawberry types are good as medium height shrubs. They make 
a good hedge for enclosing the garden, vegetable garden or as plants to screen un- 
desirable views. The foliage, flowers and fruits for jelly, will be your reward.
