CAJEPUT TREE —SPrire of Beauty 50¢ 
One of the most satisfactory and satisfying of all of our 
Florida trees! Tall and slender, with willowy branches loosely 
filled with narrow gray-green leaves, it’s a perfect addition in 
every location. Bears prolific showing of delightfully furry, 
bottle-brush, creamy white, fragrant flowers several times a 
year. Then, in addition, it has fascinating birch-like trunk of 
soft silvery white! No tree offers more—few offer as much! 
Grow it—love it!
