Court without opinion — that the term 

 is not so restricted, but applies to seed- 

 lings of all plants which retain their 

 greenness throughout the year, and that 

 it is suflScient if a plant fall within the 

 general class of evergreens, irrespective 

 of whether it is hardy in a particular 

 locality or under different climatic con- 

 ditions. The plants in question, being 

 shown to be "evergreen" in this sense, 

 were held to be "evergreen seedlings," 

 as above set forth, not only by the 

 Board of Appraisers and the Circuit 

 Court, but by the Court of Appeals. 



THURLOWS CHOICE. 



The mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia, 

 is about the best evergreen shrub in this 

 or any other countrj, says T. C. Thur- 

 low, of "West Newbury, Mass. The flow- 

 ers are beautiful (it would get our vote 

 for the national flower) and the foliage, 

 especially when partially shaded, is beau- 

 tiful, also. It is a good and lasting green 

 for decorating. It is found growing wild 

 in all the Atlantic states from Maine to 

 Georgia, rather sparingly at the north 

 but common farther south, especially on 

 the mountains of North and South Caro- 

 lina and Virginia. It is seen in the 

 greatest profusion along shaded hillsides 

 or in cool, sheltered valleys, which shows 

 that this, as well as the native rhodo- 

 denrons, feel more at home in the partial 

 shade of other trees. Notwithstanding 

 the kalmia is so partial to cool, shady 

 places, it will grow in the nursery in 

 full sunshine, as we have grown it that 

 way for years. The foliage is not as 

 good in the open, especially if exposed to 

 the sun in winter, as the leaves often 

 turn brown and appear to be injured; 

 but when the new growth starts they 

 come out all right, blooming more pro- 

 fusely and of a deeper red color than 

 if grown entirely in the shade. The 

 kalmia is diflScult to move from the woods 

 or pastures, but if grown in a nursery 

 and transplanted two or three times they 

 have a mass of fibrous roots and will 

 lift with a ball of earth attached, be- 

 ing almost sure to live if transplanted 

 any time in spring or fall. On the lime- 

 stone lands of the west they do not do 

 as well as in the east, although they are 

 worth trying everywhere.
