S20—CRAPE MYRTLE (Lagerstroemia indica). Out of the South comes one of the 
most beautiful of all shrubs. Tall bushy plant is covered from midsummer until 
fall with immense clusters of lovely colorful flowers of crepe-like texture set off 
by glossy deep green foliage. Farther north where the tops die back in winter, 
if well protected like Hybrid Tea Roses they will come from the root and bloom 
on the new growth. Not recommended north of southern Iowa, and even in 
Missouri and southern Iowa should be well covered through the winter. All 
Crape Myrtle plants are slow starting the spring they are set out, often remain- 
ing dormant for several weeks, and the planter must be patient. Choice of (a) 
Red, (b) Purple, or (c) White. Each 2
