AUGUSTINII Gixa 
A species from approximately 10,000 feet altitude in 
S. W. China. It eventually becomes a compact shrub about 
6 feet in height and about the same in width. As the 
young growth develops, the narrow pointed leaves have 
a lovely bronze cast to them before they turn to a pleas- 
ing shade of soft green. The flowers, which appear in 
May are in clusters of 3 and occur in such profusion as 
to almost obscure the foliage. Each blossom is about 
2% inches wide, flattish in shape, and with stamens and 
pistil long exserted. We are confident that this will be- 
come one of the most popular blue evergreen, flowering 
shrubs in the garden. 9”-12” $4.00; 12”-15” $5.00 
BROUGHTONII AUREUM 13} 1h ISER} Sio'o-

yellow flowers with darker blotches on the upper petals, 
blooming toward the end of May. Planted with Purple 
Splendor, the two colors make a splendid contrast.
