NEW AND UNUSUAL PLANTS 3 

Calliandra 
New and Unusual Plants 
Azalea 
MACRANTHA. Small glossy leaves. Compact growers 
blooming over a long period. Excellent landscape plants. 
For complete description and prices see page 7. 
Calliandra haematocephala 
New. Rare and scarce. A large tropical to semi- 
tropical shrub which can also be pruned and shaped into 
a small tree or medium-sized bush. Somewhat hardier than 
Hibiscus. This is an easily grown evergreen that blooms 
freely in the sun or half shade. It produces showy masses 
of gorgeous mimosa or brush-like red flowers over a long 
period in the winter season. We also have other varieties, 
but none so beautiful as this elegant red type. We can 
offer large plants, full of vim and vigor. Cutting-grown 
plants, in 4-in. pots, small, $1.00 each; in 5-in. pots, 
heavier, $2.00 each. Extra-strong, in I-gal. cans, $2.50 
and $3.00. Heavy specimens in 4-gal. cans, $5.00 and 
$6.00. 6-gal. cans, $7.50 to $10.00. 
Ruby Grapefruit 
U. S. Plant Pat. 53. A seedless, early variety that is 
excellent for home planting. The fruit is ready to eat in 
November but the deepest color appears in late February 
and fades slightly thereafter. The fruit holds until June 
and is shaped somewhat like Marsh Seedless. A very 
prolific grower, bearing young. A non-propagating agree- 
ment must be signed with the purchase of each tree. Extra 
choice, strong trees buckhorned back on budded Sour 
Orange understock, $7.50 each. B&B, $10.00 up each. 
Buginvillaeas are easy to grow. A well-drained, sunny 
location suits them best. Be careful not to use too much 
fertilizer, for that makes them grow too fast and then they 
fail to bloom well.
