HOLMES SCULPTURED 
Grow them as Trees 

A tall spire of Podocarpus, with a low facing of JASMINUM 
UNDULATUM. At the rear is a specimen of single white 
Oleander, with WASHINGTONIA ROBUSTA behind it. 
We call these evergreens the ‘““Taxus of the South,” and 
we wish we had some way of conveying to you just how 
highly we think of them. We consider these to be the most 
desirable of all evergreens for landscaping and beautifying 
the home grounds in Central Florida. They are excellent 
evergreen shrubs and trees with mostly narrow but some- 
times broad leaves. Many species exist but we offer only 
the very best in addition to the new hybrids. Some of 
these hybrids for Central Florida are as good as Macro- 
phylla makiand some are better. Some of them are dwarfer 
and have smaller leaves than Macrophylla maki. 
Maki is one that we recommend for shearing and hedges. 
It is a fine plant for trimming into desired shapes. Until 
we have more time to study the various varieties which 
we hope to name or number, we simply offer them as 
hybrids, and suggest that you come to the nursery and 
make your own selection. 
Podocarpus elongata. Thought by some to be the most beau- 
tiful of all Podocarpus. A large, elegant plant with soft, 
finely cut, pointed bright green foliage. Can be pruned 
when necessary to any shape desired and for this reason 
is very adaptable. A wonderful plant for backgrounds or 
large corners, and against garden walls its fern-like leaves 
are displayed to perfection. Plant in sun or part shade.
