Clethra, L. (White Alder—Sweet Pepperbush.) 
C. alnifolia, L. Swamps and damp sandy soils, common. 
Kalmia, L. (American Laurel.) 
K, latifolia, L. (Mountain Laurel—Calico Bush—Spoon-wood.) This 
evergreen is one of the most beautiful objects of the forests throughout 
the middle and northern parts of the State ; with care, it may be removed 
to the lawn. Its showy flowers in June, and its deep green foliage 
during winter, make it a most interesting object. Woods, common. 
The K. angustifolia is also an evergreen, but the flowers are incon- 
spicuous, and leaves pale. 
K. angustifolia, L. Damp places and swamps, common. 
K. glauca, Ait. Budd’s Lake, Mor. (Porter.) Also mountains of 
the north. 
Azalea, L. (False Honeysuckle—Azalea.) 
This genus has two representatives in the State, which are great beau- 
ties, and bear transplanting well. The A. viscosa is easily distinguished 
from the A. nudiflora, by its sticky flowers. 
A. viscosa, L. Sandy swamps, very common. 
A. nudiflora, L. Thickets, on hills, common. 
Rhododendron, L. (Rose-bay.) 
R. maximum, L. (Great Laurel.) This beautiful shrub only needs 
to be seen to be appreciated. It grows along the banks of the Delaware, 
from Bordentown, all along through Mer., and the northern counties. 
No lawn should be without this object of beauty. In describing it I 
might say it is like K. latifolia, but much more beautiful. Bergen Co.
