MEXICAN ORANGE. Orange blossom fragrance. 
See page 10. 
PINK BEAUTY 
Rondeletia amoena. Bright, copper-tinted foliage, as fresh 
as the breath of spring, is surmounted in early summer with 
heads of pink tubular flowers, sometimes as many as 100 of 
them in a single cluster. The big 3-inch coppery leaves, heav- 
aly veined, green as they age but retain some of their rich 
coloring on the under side. We have grown the plant in both 
sun and part shade and it seems to enjoy either. Half hardy. 
4 ft. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.25. 
FRAGRANT SARCOCOCCA 
Sarcococca ruscifolia. We have this neat little shrub in 
our patio garden and find it a joy from one year’s end to 
the other. Waxy deep green leaves, 1 to 1% inches in length, 
are strung thickly on sturdy stems. In filtered sunlight or 
heavy shade it will, with a little pruning, form a dense glossy 
mound to 2 or 2% ft. A marvelous background for begonias, 
primroses or small ferns. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; 
gal. containers, $1.00. - 
AUSTRALIAN BLUE BELL 
Sollya heterophylla. One of those versatile plants that may 
be grown as either shrub or vine. Used as a shrub it will form 
a full leafy mound to 3 feet and be covered in early summer 
with graceful racemes of dainty nodding blue bells. If given 
the support of fence or trellis it will develop into a handsome 
evergreen vine. Requires good drainage. Hardy. Sun. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 85c. 
EXOTIC BIRD OF PARADISE 
Strelitzia reginae. Extravagantly hued flowers of dazzling 
blue, orange and gold that resemble the crested head of a 
tropical bird. Bloom in spring and early summer and some- 
times in fall, also. Easily grown in any sunny spot. Appre- 
ciate moisture and a heavy mulch of cow manure. Hardy ex- 
cept in coldest spots. Tubs, $12.50; 5-gal. containers, $5.00; 
gal. containers, $2.00. 
BRONZY TERNSTROEMIA 
Ternstroemia gymnanthera. If pruned and kept under 4 
feet we don’t believe there is any shrub that will give more 
satisfaction over a period of years than this variety. The 
plant is heavily clothed with substantial 2- to 3-inch leathery 
leaves of smooth rich finish. The new growth appears painted 
a glowing bronze and orange which changes to bronzy- 
maroon as the leaves mature. Enjoys sun or light shade. 
Hardy. Balled, 15-18 in., $4.50. 
A ROYAL PRINCESS 
Tibouchina semidecandra grandiflora. Princess Flower. 
Provides a dazzling display of huge red buds and single royal 
purple flowers from August to November and, during warm 
winters, until April. Furry leaves, green flushed with bronzy- 
red, are as soft and smooth as velvet. If you do not have this 
shrub you are missing a thrilling experience. Hardy except 
in coldest winters. Sun or part shade. About April 1 prune 
back previous summer’s growth to 3 or 4 buds. 4-5 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 85c. 
SWEET VIBURNUM 
Viburnum burkwoodi. In our judgment there is no fra- 
grance to compare with the rich smooth perfume of this va- 
riety. In late spring and summer their showy white panicles 
will thrill you with their sweetness. You'll enjoy their big 
dark substantial leaves and sturdy growth. Hardy. Sun or 
part shade. Prune drastically after blooming period. 4-6 ft. 
Balled, 2-2%4 ft., $3.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.50; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.00. 
Viburnum japonicum. For mass planting or grown as a 
specimen in shaded areas this handsome shrub with its thick 
mass of light green leathery leaves will form an excellent 
background for begonias, primroses, cyclamen or other 
shade-loving flowering plants. 8-10 ft. Hardy. Balled, 4-5 
ft., $10.00; 2-3 ft., $3.50; 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. con- 
tainers, 85c. 
Viburnum suspensum. You probably have this plant grow- 
ing in your garden now. If not, we suggest you have over- 
looked one of the finest shrubs that ever came out of China. 
We know of no other shrub that may be successfully used in 
as many different locations or for as many purposes. The big 
bright leaves retain their luster through all seasons. Spaced 
six feet apart the plants will develop into an informal screen 
of outstanding loveliness. They may be planted at three-foot 
intervals and pruned in hedge form. As individual specimen 
shrubs in either sun or shade they are unequaled. Hardy. 
Sun or shade. Plentiful clusters of small white sweetly fra- 
grant bloom in late winter. 8-10 ft. Balled, 2%-3 ft., $5.00; 
2-2% ft., $4.00; 144-2 ft., $2.75.; 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. 
containers, 75c. 
Viburnum tinus lucidum. When these sturdy shrubs are in 
full bloom they might well be compared to a young snow 
storm for in winter the dense frosty white flower heads cover 
the plant completely. Equally satisfactory for screening pur- 
poses, for formal hedges or as specimen shrubs. Dense dark 
foliage that is always presentable. Hardy. Sun or part shade. 
ee 3-4 ft., $5.00; 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 
85c. 
ROSEMARY BUSH 
Westringia rosmariniformis. Here is one of the little 
known shrubs that we are thoroughly sold on and sooner or 
later you will be, too. Dark, glistening, %-inch long leaves 
are borne in dense whorls about the sturdy stems. Through 
summer five-petaled, frosty white bloom, daintily flecked 
with red in the center, are borne prolifically near the tips of 
the many branchlets. The shrub is informally round in 
shape, that is, about as broad as tall and remains fresh, clean 
and happy at all times. Sun. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; 
gal. containers, $1.25. , 
RADIANT XYLOSMA 
Xylosma senticosa. As the branches are willowy and pliant 
this shrub lends itself particularly well to training against 
walls. The glistening foliage is not affected by extremes of 
temperature and supplies permanent rich covering wherever 
planted. Will grow to 6 or 8 ft. but will form a compact 
attractive mound of glistening green to 4 or 5 ft. with a little 
pruning. Sun. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $3.25; gal. con- 
tainers, $1.00. :
