MICHELIA FUSCATA—Combines the sweet fragrances of 
Banana and Pineapple. See page 25. 
SCARLET AND BLACK 
Ochna multiflora. An attractive and interesting shrub in 
every season. In spring, clusters of small single yellow bloom 
are hung all through its dark polished foliage. Flowers de- 
velop into five-sided seed carpels, turn a rich scarlet and re- 
main a veritable bonfire of color through winter. Large jet- 
black seeds protrude from each side of the capsules. Grows 
compactly to 4 or 5 feet. I’refers some shade. Hardy except 
in very cold locations. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.50. 
SWEET OLIVE 
Osmanthus fragrans. Because of its lustrous foliage and 
the intense sweet perfume of its small white bloom it is a 
grand shrub for use about the shaded parts of the patio. 
Thrives in pots. We have noticed, too, it seems to tolerate 
poor drainage. Hardy. Sun or shade. 6-8 ft. Balled, 3-3™% ft.,

Osmanthus delavayi. A lovely little shrub of moderately 
slow growth that enjoys shade and moisture. We think it 
well worth growing for its small, notched lustrous leaves 
alone but in addition to the handsome foliage the plant bears 
a multitude of sweetly scented bell-shaped flowers in spring. 
Hardy. 4-5 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
CHINESE PHOTINIA 
Photinia serrulata. In hot, dry interior regions as well as 
near the coast this 8-10 ft. shrub with large glossy leathery 
leaves is one of our finest. Chill autumn nights paint many 
of the leaves in shades of maroon and glistening scarlet, 
presenting an effect that will remind you Eastern folk of 
frost and fall leaves. Clouds of white flowers in dense heads 
during spring. Sun. Not fussy as to soil or weather con- 
ditions. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
INDISPENSABLE PITTOSPORUMS 
Pittosporum tobira, If pruned occasionally to keep it from 
growing taller than 4 to 5 feet this is an ideal shrub for 
massing against buildings, fences or in front of taller growing 
shrubs. Plant it under medium height windows or use it as 
a tiller in the corners of your lot. You'll love its dense glossy 
foliage and appreciate the sweet perfume of its small white 
blossoms. Hardy. Sun or shade. Balled, 2-2% ft., $5.50; 
1%-2..ft., $3.50; 15+18 in., $3.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. 
containers, 75c. 
Pittosporum tobira Whitespot. Same as preceding variety 
except for white variegation of the leaves. Grows very com- 
pact with no pruning. Thrives in either sun or shade. Balled, 
1%-2 ft., $4.25; 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Pittosporum undulatum. This is one of the most satis- 
factory shrubs to use for screening purposes as it grows rap- 
idly and the large cool leaves provide a dense cover. It is also 
one of our most valuable shrubs for planting in wide spaces 
between windows or for breaking the monotony of long 
walls. Trimmed severely into hedge form it will grow to 1U 
feet tall and give you a score or more years of useful service. 
Its white spring flowers are as sweetly fragrant as orange 
blassoms. Hardy. Sun or shade. 8-12 ft. Balled, 3-314 ft., 
$5.50; 2-3 ft., $4.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 
ASC: 
BLUE PLUMBAGO 
Plumbago capensis. A shrub that will thrive on hot dry 
banks or in close proximity to Eucalyptus trees where few 
other shrubs will survive. Also effective for draping over 
fence or wall. Their soft blue flowers are borne through the 
entire summer. Hardy except in coldest locations. Sun. 5- 
gal. containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 85c. 
FERN PINE 
Podocarpus elongatus. Graceful beyond description. 
Sturdy upright shrubs with airy drooping branches and bright 
narrow leaves. Planted on either side of large windows or 
against tall walls they are irresistibly lovely. They are highly 
valued for pot culture, too. Sun or shade. Hardy. 8-10 ft. 
5-gal. containers, $3.75; gal. containers, $1.50.
