EVERGREEN SHRUBS—Continued 
GREVILLEA 
Grevillea thelemanniana. Hummingbird Bush, Jewel Flower. Bushy 
shrub of medium size with feathery, finely cut leaves and bright 
ruby-red flowers off and on throughout the year. Sun but must 
have a dry well-drained soil. Hardy. Gal. 95c. 
GUAVAS for Jelly and Ornament 
We often think of Guava as a fruiting shrub almost in the same 
sense as we would mention Blackberries. They are decidedly attrac- 
tive shrubs for ornamental purposes, requiring nothing more than 
frost-free areas to grow. Excellent when used as hedges where 
their close growth, fine foliage and colorful fruits vie with each 
other in making their stay worthwhile. Use the fruits for jellies 
and preserves.

of fine flavor. 24°. Gal. 85c, 5-gal. $2.95.

what firmer than the Red Strawberry. 24°. Gal. 85c, 5-gal. $2.95.

BOTTLEBRUSH, SCARLET 
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 become un- 
sightly. Full sun, little care will make them at home. Of course 
they like a drink now and then. Hardy to 25°.
