flowers of immense size, often 12 inches in diameter; 
foliage large and bronze underneath; a magnificent

Magnolia fuscata (Banana Shrub). A most de- 
sirable evergreen shrub ; hardy South, but for conser- 
vatories North. The brownish yellow flowers, which 
appear in early spring, emit a delightful banana fra- 
grance. Plants 8 to 10 inches, 25 cts.; larger plants, 
so cts. All pot-grown. 
OLEA 
Fragrans (Tea, or Sweet Olive). One of the most 
desirable flowering shrubs of Southern gardens. The 
white flowers, although small, are produced in clus- 
ters, and emit the most pleasing fragrance. It is well 
said that “each individual bloom has more sweetness 
than the most fragrant lily.” As a conservatory 
shrub for northern florists, it will be found invaluable 
and of ready sale. The blooming period begins in the 
fall and lasts for several months. It is of easy culture, 
and especially desirable as a window plant. We offer 
the largest stock in the United States. Several sizes, 
25c. each, $2 for 10; larger size, 50c. each, $4 for 10. 
Ilicifolia (Osmanthus Aquifolium). A beautiful 
shrub allied to the Olea totes With prickly- 
toothed leaves; dark green. Flowers white, like the 
Tea Olive, but will stand more cold. Attains a 
height of 20 to 25 feet and makes a beautiful lawn 
tree. 25 cents each, $2 for 10; larger, 50 cts. each, 
$4 for ro.

tainty of the bark becoming a valuable product.
