This compact shrub has evyerything—the most unusual chocolate- 
mahogany reddish brown-colored flowers—spicy fragrance—reddish 
brown branches—large, leathery, green foliage. The flowers and the 
foliage are both very aromatic, and when crushed can be used as 2 
fragrant “‘sachet.” Recommended for planting in whole or partial 
shade, in full sum and dry and wet places.

The deep, rich, glossy green of the foliage complements the pure white beauty 
of its wax-like blossoms. This foliage maintains its dark green color the year 
around, except in a very severe winter. Should the leaves become damaged 
during a cold winter, they will be replaced with new leaves with the coming of 
spring. The blossoms are everblooming—presenting a gorgeous spectacle through- 
out the growing season. The sweet perfume subtly fills the garden with alluring 
fragrance. Recommended for planting in partial shade, full sun and wet 
places. 
CRAPE MYRTLE, BLUE MIDGET 
Average

6-7-8 June-frost 4-6 ft. 
The lowest growing member of the Crape Myrtle family and in a brand new color. 
It’s as Southern as Mint-Julep, rivaling the popularity of the Lilac in the North and 
often referred to as the “Lilac of the South.”? Beginning in early summer and con- 
tinuing until late autumn, the huge flower heads of fringed and fluted blossoms are 
displayed in large clusters. Recommended for planting in partial shade, full sun, and 
dry places.

A worthy contribution to the American garden from China. It holds its 
attractive leathery foliage well into the winter after most other shrubs are 
bare. Conspicuous shiny black fruits (Jet beads) follow the large single 
white flowers and hang in great clusters during autumn and winter. Recom- 
mended for planting in whole or partial shade, full sun and dry and wet 
places.
