EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 



These plants are now largely in flnmand for border plantinj; aud for massing and grouping purposes. 

 Andromeda floribuuda, Azalea amoeua, Kalmia latifolia, the Malionias and Rhododeudrous are especially 

 valuable for general planting in large masses. I am well prepared to meet tbe increased demand for this 

 material and can furnish in any quantity desired the best stock obtainable, at lowest current prices. Of 

 Mahonias aud Rhododendi-ons particularly I can furnish the largest and finest stock obtainable fiom any 

 responsible establishment, and at special low prices for well-gnown transplanted -stock. 



The medal awarded for my Rhododendron exhibit was the result ot competition at the World's Fair 

 of the leading growers both in this country and from Europe. 



Most of the Evergreen Shrubs move with a ball and can be transplanted with perfect safety any time 

 during the transplanting season, spring or autumn.
