Has the deep dark green foliage although almost without spines 
and clusters of bright red berries in winter. Excellent for Christ- 
mas berries. Very hardy. 
LANTANAS 
Lantana camara. The uses to which it may be put in the landscape 
scheme are simply astounding—to cover banks, trained against 
walls as a vine, as a ground cover, in pots, and even as a specimen 
shrub. It glorifies the space it occupies with brilliantly colored 
flowers that seem to change shades as they mature but never be- 
come unsightly. Full sun, little care will make them at home. Of 
course they like a drink now and then. Hardy to 25°. Gal. 85c. 
Dwarf varieties. Yellow, white, Radiation (orange-red), pink. 
Tall varieties. Orange, white, and pink. 
Lantana sellowiana, Trailing Lantana. Mauve flowers cover this
