Te en 
HOOP PINE (Araucaria cunning- 
hami). This Australian ornamental con- 
ifer reaches 150 feet in its native land. It 
is a splendid tree very similar to the re- 
lated Norfolk Island Pine (A. excelsa). 
TERMINALIA (T. arjuna). This 
large Indian evergreen tree is better for 
shade than its relative, the “tropical al- 
mond” (T. catappa) which I can also 
supply. 
HONGKONG CRAPEMYRTLE (Lag- 
erstroemia subcostata). Aside from the 
fact that this bushy small tree is native 
of Hongkong I have no description. 
JAVA CRAPEMYRTLE  (Lagerstroe- 
mia elegans). Here is another relative of 
this family for which I have no descrip- 
tion. It has not yet flowered in Florida. 
LAFOENSIA (L. punicaefolia). This 
Peruvian evergreen slender tree to 50 
feet, allied to the tree crapemyrtles, bears 
large flowers in clusters with long yellow 
petals and red stamens. New in this 
country. 
GROUND COVER (Wedelia _ trilo- 
bata). Best evergreen ground cover I 
know, this creeping herb bears yellow 
daisy flowers much of the year. 
BONTIA (B. daphnoides). West-Indi- 
an tree to 30 feet, allied to Myoporum, 
bearing small, purple-blotched — yellow 
flowers, solitary or clustered in the axils. 
PINCUSHION TREE (Nauclea escu- 
lenta). This drooping evergreen African 
to 25 feet bears white flowers in dense 
heads the size of a tennis ball and look- 
ing for all the world like a pincushion full 
of white pins. The “pins” drop off soon, 
leaving the red fruit. I am told these are 
edible but I wouldn’t know. 
PARKIA (P. speciosa). This big Phil- 
ippine tree has perfectly beautiful foli- 
age most of the year but is bare briefly 
in winter. The tiny white flowers are in 
tennis-ball-like heads. 
\ LITCHI (L. chinensis). I can offer 
small seedlings of this Chinese evergreen 
fruit tree. 
PORTLANDIA (P. grandiflora). This 
ise magnificent West Indian evergreen 
shrub or small tree that is rare because 
exceedingly difficult to grow. It gets cov- 
ered in mid-winter with Easter-lily-like 
white flowers that are lovely. 
*MADRE d’CACAO (Gliricidia sepi- 
um). A small, quick-growing tree to 30 
feet, bearing long, arching branches, 
which in dry weather drop nearly all 
their leaves and produce along the great- 
er part of their length masses of purplish 
pink flowers, making the tree a striking 
object for a few weeks. 
CANNONBALL 
Bright red 6-inch flcwers 
CANTHIUM (C. glabriflorum). Med- 
ium-sized West African tree of the coffee 
family, bearing sickly-scented small white 
flowers in dense clusters on the upper 
side of the branches. 
CASSIA (C.. sieberiana). Handsome 
tree of Northern Africa, closely allied to 
C. fistula with long clusters of large yvel- 
low flowers. 
CORAL.) TREES. (Erythring ssp.) 
poeppigiana, Peruvian. Brilliant scarlet. 
E. reticulata. Brazilian. Red flowers.  E. 
constantiana. South African. Widely 
planted in California. E. velutina. Jam- 
aican. Chestnut red with purple red edge. 
FREMONTIA (F. califernica). Beau- 
tiful  white-flowered small tree of the 
Bombax family, that grows wild in dry 
parts of California but seems difficult to 
bring into cultivation. It is worth trying. 
SAUSAGE TREE (Kigelia pinnata). 
Evergreen African tree occasionally seen 
in Florida, distinguished chiefly by the 
huge sausage-like fruits that hang from 
its branches on long strings.
