J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— SHRUBS AND TREES 



KALMIA LATIFOLIA. Mountain Laurel 



Although a native, there is perhaps no other hardy shrub except the Rhododendron that 

 rivals this in beauty. Like its first cousin, Rhododendron, it retains its foliage in unimpaired 

 beauty throughout the year. Its leaves, which are broad, smooth and glossy, are exceptionall;y 

 free from blemish of any kind. As regards hardiness, it may justly be termed "ironclad." The 

 fiow^ers w^hich are borne in large, flat clusters, va y in color from pearly white to soft, shell pink, 

 and are uniquely' and exquisitely formed, suggesting, both in bud and when expanded, flowers 

 made of certain delicate, dainty sea shells. The flowers appear early in June and continue 

 some weeks 



Kalmia latifolia is beautiful as single specimens, but yields greatest pleasure when prop- 

 erly grouped in conjunction with Rhododendrons or in mass. Clumps, 2 to 3 ft., $1.50; 3 to 4 

 ft., $2.00 each. Special quotations on carload lots.
