CHOISYA TERNATA. Combines orange-blossom fragrance 
and rich, polished foliage. See page 9. 
The information on page 47 and the pages that follow, in 
respect to planting and cultural methods, will be most help- 
ful to both you and us, if you will read it. 
FRAGRANT BANANA SHRUB 
Michelia fuscata. If you have a shaded area on the north 
side of the house or under trees you should have one of these 
delightful shrubs. You will find it a wise investment in bril- 
liant polished foliage and delightful banana-like fragrance. 
The yellow, maroon-rimmed single flowers appear early in 
spring and fill the air with heavy perfume for many yards 
around. Hardy. 5-7 ft. 5-gal. containers, $4.50. 
ORANGE JESSAMINE 
Murraya exotica. Even the orange blossoms are envious 
ef the frosty blooms and permeating fragrance of this 
dense glossy leaved shrub. Flowers which resemble citrus 
blooms are summer borne in prodigal profusion on the 
branch tips. Sparkling, much divided leaves, similar to but 
smaller than Choisya, are attractive at all times. Should be 
planted in a protected spot as it is easily frosted. Sun. 6-8 
ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
AFRICAN BOX 
Myrsine africana. A charming low round plant from China 
built with bright dainty round leaves and reddish stems. Com- 
pares most favorably with the dwarf Myrtle for density of 
growth and is much more handsomely furnished. For use as 
a low hedge or in any sunny spot where the use of low shrubs 
is indicated there is no more satisfactory variety. Requires 
severe pruning. Hardy. 2-2% ft. Balled, 1%-2 ft., $3.50; 
5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. containers, 85c. 
SWEET MYRTLE 
A class of plant material that for years has been valuable 
for its neat habit, bright fragrant foliage, fuzzy white flowers 
and its ability to withstand extremes of temperature. Hardy. 
Sun. 
Myrtus communis buxifolia. With little pruning this va- 
riety will be a thicket of dark inch-long leaves and thin airy 
stems. Plant it in the hottest spot you can find, or the coldest 
for that matter, give it an occasional irrigation and it will be 
contented. The foliage is often used in flower arrangements. 
Hardy. 5-6 ft. Balled, 2-3 ft., $3.50; 1%4-2 ft., $3.00; 5-gal. 
containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 75c.
