THE CORAL TREE 
The Coral Tree you mention, I think is 
the Fireman’s-Helmet, also Cry-baby tree of 
the South. The leaves grow quite large 
and the wind whistling through them 
sounds like the cry of a baby. They winter 
kill here in our section but come out from 
the roots. 
I wish you would mark the seed packets 
with L or A, for lime or acid loving plants. 
It would keep people from losing heart, 
when they know what soil to plant in. 
By Mrs. A. W. Griffen, Texas. 
It takes a lot of paper and labor for all 
this information but we are adding infor- 
mation, each month, to many flowers. The 
larger the subscription list the more time 
and expense can be given to this sort of 
work. 
Mrs. Griffen is looking for seed of the 
Brazilian Plume also the Gizzard Begonia. 
WANTED 
Dr. Virgil V. Phelps, Box 507, Wayne, 
Michigan wants the following, any reader 
knowing of a source should write him. 
Constantine Apple, bulish white Silvery- 
leaf Poppy (Meconopsis violacea?), Calla 
occulata or Pride of Congo, Old Fashioned 
Roses: Albert Columbo, John Hopper. 
Jubilee, Louis van Houite Mons Louis 
Richard, Oscar Croiblet, Souv de Bous- 
tetten. Hybrid Teas: Mrs Croiblet, Souv. de 
Jean Soupert Victoria Harrington, Max 
Krause. 
Costa Rica Caster Bean, Gratiola, Colunea 
gloriosa, Hedgee Hyslsop, Aglaia odorata,. 
BUT ONE COMPLAINT! 
Mrs. R. A. Reynolds of Calall, Texas, 
writes that she “has one complaint to make. 
A lot of the tropical and sub-tropical items 
you list, you make statements that they 
can be grown outdoors only in California 
and Florida. We are able to grow such 
items here in South Texas, too”. 
We might add, too, that the interest in 
flower growing is just as great for we have 
a very large list of readers in Texas and there 
is not a day that some flower seed is not 
going to Texas. The trouble, though, is 
that we get so little reading matter on flower 
growing from Texas readers. Any way 
there is no intention on our part to neglect 
South Texas. 
FRUITLESS MULBERRY TREE 
It is with great pleasure, as always, that 
I went through your magazine. As ans- 
wering the question of Mrs. Beatrice Hoff- 
acher of Michigan about the “EFruitless 
Mulberry Tree,” it is nothing to worry 
about since the genus Morus is either dioce- 
ous or monocious. You might find trees 
with female or male flowers only or some 
(as most of them are) with both sexes on one 
specimen.
