AUGFAST (Augustinii x fastigiatum) . be 
A delightful small shrub for the front of the border. The lovely blue flowers 
are freely produced in early April. It does best in light shade where the blos- 
soms show to good advantage. The plant becomes about 5 feet high when 
mature although it may be contained in a smaller area by pruning after 
flowering. 6”-8” $4.50; 8”-10” $5.50 
AUGUSTINII: Gas 
A species from approximately 10,000 ft. altitude in S. W. China. It eventually 
becomes a compact shrub about 6 feet in height and about 4 feet in width. As 
the young growth develops, the narrow pointed leaves have a lovely bronze 
cast to them before they turn to a pleasing shade of soft green. The flowers 
which appear in May are in clusters of 3 and occur in such profusion as to 
almost obscure the foliage. Each blossom is about 2% inches wide, flattish 
in shape, and with stamens and pistil long exserted. Where it can be grown, 
this species will become one of the most popular blue evergreen flowering 
shrubs. Sr 10'1$ 4.50) 1012” $5.50: 127-15" $6.50
