EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 



These plant? are now largely in demand for border planting and for massing and grouping purposes. 

 Andromeda tloribunda, Azalea amoena, Kalmia latifolia, tlie Mabonias and Rhododendrons are e.specially 

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

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

 Mabonias and Rhododendi'ons particularly I can furnish the largest and finest stock obtainable fiom any 

 vesponsibto establishuient. and at special low prices for well-gnown transplanted stock. 



The medal awarded for my Rhododendron exhibit was the result of 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.
