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 charming 

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



BUXUS. Eox. 



SEMPERVIRENS.— The well known Box Tree, with 

 rich, deep green, glossy foliage. Very effective in all 

 ornamental planting and especially useful in formal 

 gardening. Much used in cemetery work. 

 Handsome, dense plants, 18 inches high, each, 50c. 

 Pjramids, 3 feet high, each, $1.50; 4 feet high, each, 

 $2.50. 



SUFFRUTICOSA AUREIS. Goldex-lexved Box.— 

 A new form, of dense, dwarf, spreading habit. In spring 

 and until mid-summer its foliage is a vivid, bright, 

 golden yellow, changing to russet in autumn. 



Very bushy, 6 to 9 inches, each, 75c; 9 to 12 inches, 

 each, $1.25; 12 to 15 inches, each, $2.00. 

 DWARF OR EDGING BOX.— See Hedge Plant. 



KALMIA LATIFOLIA. 



Mountain Laurel. 



AZALEA. 



AM O EN A. — A dense, dwarf growing shrub, with 

 slender branches and semi-double flowers of bright, 

 cheerful, rosy-purple, produced in such great numbers 

 as to literally envelop the bush in June. The dense box- 

 like 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 that is 

 most striking and beautiful. Each flower is a little 

 gem, elegant and neat in its make up. Especially valu- 

 able for massing and for bordering beds of Rnododen- 

 drons, Kalmias, etc. Entirely hardy. For a gorgeous 

 display of color there is no other hardy shrub that 

 approaches this Azalea. (See cut.) 



Bushy plants, 6 to 9 inches high, each, 25c; 9 to 12 

 inches high, each, 35c; 12 to 15 inches high, each, 50c; 

 15 to 18 inches high, each, 75c; 1 1-2 to 2 feet high and 

 wide, each, $1.00. 



HINODEGERI— A new variety from Japan, quite like 

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

 that are bright, fiery-red in color. Strong, bushy plants, 

 each, 75c. 



DAPHNE CNEORUM. 



Garland Flower. 



An elegant and refined, dwarf growing shrub. It 

 grows but 6 to 8 inches high, has neat, attractive foli- 

 age and produces many clusters of fragrant, pink Ar- 

 butus-like flowers in early May. Each, 35c. 



Althought a native, there is perhaps no other hardy 

 shrub except the Rhododendron, that rivals this in 

 beauty. Like its first cousin. Rhododendron maximum, 

 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 blem- 

 ish of any kind. As regards hardiness, it may justly 

 be termed "ironclad." The flowers are borne in. large, 

 flat clusters, vary in color from pearly white to soft, 

 shell pink and are uniquely and exquisitely formed, sug- 

 gesting, both in bud and when expanded, flowers made 

 of certain delicate, dainty sea shells. The flowers ap- 

 pear early in June and continue some weeks. 



Kalmia latifolia is beautiful as single specimens, but 

 yields greatest pleasure when properly grouped in con- 

 junction with Rhododendrons, or in mass. 



Nursery grown, bushy plants, 12 to 18 inches, each, 

 75c; 1 1-2 to 2 feet, each, $1.00. 



Special prices for collected plants of superior quality 

 in car load lots promptly given, if desired. 



Los Angeles Co, Cal., Jan. 31, '09. 



I received safely yesterday the three packages of 

 plants from you. Everything arrived in fine condition 

 and beautifully packed and I am much pleased with 

 the healthy, stocky and well rooted plants. 



Mrs. a. M. Morse.
