Broad-leaved Evergreen Shrubs. 



These are the most valuable of all the shrubs, possessing as they do, beautiful foliage which remains upon the 

 plant the year round. Moreover, Rhododendrons, Kalmias and Azaleas give a display of bloom that is magnificent 

 beyond words to describe. These shrubs are useful for grouping and stand alone for producing interesting and charm- 

 ing winter effects. The plants I offer are all strong, well-developed ones— much too large to be sent by mail. A 

 dozen of any variety will be supplied at ten times the price for one. 



AZALEA. 



IMOEM. — A dense, dwarf growing shrub, with slender 

 branches and semi-double flowers of bright, cheerful, 

 rosy-purple, produced in such great numbers as to liter- 

 ally envelope the bush in June. The dense bcx-Iike 

 foliage, which is deep green with metallic luster, renders 

 it a charming plant at all seasons of the year, and when 

 in flower it presents a blaze of bloom. Especially valuable 

 for massing and for bordering beas of Rhododendrons, 

 Kalmias, etc. (See cut.) Bushy plants, 9 to 12 inches 

 high, each; 30c; 15 to 18 inches high, each, 50c. 



HEVODEGIEI. — A new variety from Japan, quite like 

 A. amoena in foliage and habit, but with large flowers 

 that are bright, fiery-red in color. Stocky little plants 

 6 inches high, 35c; bushy strong plants, 12 to 18 inches, 

 75c each.

DWIEF OB EDGING BOX. See Hedge Plants. 



KALMIA LATIFOLIA. Mountain Laurel. 



Like its first cousin. Rhododendron, it retains its foliage 

 in unimpaired beauty throughout the year. Its leaves, 

 which are broad, smooth and glossy, are exceptionally free 

 from insect attack or blemish of any kind. As regards 

 hardiness, it may justly be termed "ironclad." The flow- 

 ers are borne in large, flat clusters, vary in color from 

 pearly white to soft, shell pink and are uniquely and 

 exquisitely formed, suggesting, both in bud and when ex- 

 panded, flov.-ers made of certain delicate, dainty sea shells. 

 The flowers appear early in June and continue some weeks. 



Nursery grown plants, 15 to 18 inches, each, 75c 



LEUCOTHOE CATESBAEI. 



{Andromeda Catesbaei.) 

 Among the most elegant and graceful of broad-leaved 

 Evergreens. The fleshy, glossy, bright green leaves are 

 evenly disposed on long recurved spreading branches, and 

 turn to rich bronze in autumn where exposed to the sun. 

 The dense racemes of white bell-shaped flowers appear all 

 along the branches at the axils of the leaves. Nursery 

 grown plants, 12 to 18 inches, each, 35c.
