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



AZALEA 



AMCENA, — A dense, dwarf growing shrub, with 

 slender branches and semi-double flowers of bright, 

 cheerful, rosy-purple, produced in such great num- 

 bers 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. Especially valuable 

 for massing and for bordering beds of Rhododen- 

 drons, Kalmias, etc. Bushy plants, 9 to 12 inches 

 high, each, 30c. ; 12 to 15 inches high, each, 50c. 



HINODEGIRI.— A new variety from Japan, 

 quite like A. anioena in foliage and habit, but 

 with larger flowers that are bright, fiery-red in 

 color. Stocky little plants, 6 inches high, each, 

 30c.; bushy strong plants, 9 inches, each, 50c. 



DAPHNE CNEORUM 

 (Garland Flower) 



An elegant and refined dwarf growing shrub. 

 It grows but 12 to 18 inches high, has neat, at- 

 tractive foliage and produces many clusters of 

 fragrant, pink Arbutus-like flowers in early May. 

 Fine, well-branched plants, each 40c. 



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 fiowers 

 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 expanded, flowers made of cer- 

 tain delicate, dainty sea shells. The flowers ap- 

 pear early in June and continue a month. 



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



Reeves Co., Texas, April 8, 1912. 

 I received those shrubs and berry plants all 

 right and am well pleased with them.

HARDY HYBRID 

 RHODODENDRONS 



The Rhododendron is conceded by landscape 

 gardeners and other horticultural experts to be 

 the most beautiful and valuable of all hardy 

 plants. In addition to the annual festival of 

 bloom it furnishes in June, its broad, massive, 

 elegant foliage wins for it first place in the esti- 

 mation and admiration of all. The number of 

 named hybrids are legion, many of which are not 

 entirely hardy in America. I have, therefore, re- 

 duced my list to the following "ironclad" varie- 

 ties ; those which have been tried and not found 

 wanting. They are, however, among the most 

 beautiful of all Rhododendrons: 



ALBUM ELEGANS.— Light blush, fading to 

 white. 



ANNIE PARSONS.— Rich soft red. 

 CARACTACUS.— Rich purplish-crimson. 

 CHAS. BAGLEY.— Cherry red; superb. 

 EVERESTIANUM.— Rosy lilac, flowers crimped 

 and fluted. 



GEN. GRANT.— Rosy scarlet; very brilliant. 

 GIGANTEUM.— Bright crimson rose. 

 LEE'S DARK PURPLE.— Rich deep purple. 

 PARSONS' GRANDIFLORUM. — Fresh rosy 

 crimson. 



PURPUREUM ELEGANS.— Rich purple. 

 Bushy plants, 15 to 18 inches, each, $1.00. 

 Strong plants, 18 to 24 inches, each, $1.25. 

 Heavy plants, 2 to 3 feet, each, $2.00. 



BUXUS (Box) 



SEMPERVIRENS.— The well-known Box Tree, 

 with rich, deep green, glossy foliage. Very ef- 

 fective in all ornamental planting and especially 

 useful in formal gardening. Much used in ceme- 

 tery work. Handsome, dense plants, 12 to 18 

 inches high, each, 35c.; 2 to 2^2 feet, each, 75c. 



Pyramids, 31/0 feet, each, $2.50. 



Globes, 18 inches, each, $2.00; 2 feet, each, $2.50. 



SEMPERVIRENS AUREIS. Golden-leaved Box. 



— A new form of dense, dwarf, spreading habit. 

 In spring and until midsummer its foliage is a 

 vivid, bright golden yellow, changing to russet in 

 autumn. Very bushy, 18 inches, each, $1.50; 24 

 inches, each, $2.00. 



DWARF OR EDGING BOX 



(See Hedge Plants) 



Cass Co., Mich., Dec. 6, 1912. 

 The Shrubs I ordered of you in October were 

 duly received. Although two weeks in transit, 

 they arrived in good condition, were all fine speci- 

 mens and perfectly satisfactory. 



Dr. 'joH?f H. Jones. 



Laurens Co., S. C, Nov. 11, 1912. 

 The plants came several days since. They were 

 fine plants in perfect condition and I am well 

 pleased. Thanks for promptness and extra plants.
