EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 



These plants are now largely in dpinand for border planting and for massinf? and grouping purposes. 

 Andromeda floribuuda, .-Vzalea aiiioeiia, Kalmia latifolia, the Malionias and llliododeudrons are especially 

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

 material and can furni.sli in any quantity desired the best stock obtainable, at lowest cm-rent prices. Of 

 Malionias and Rhoilodeudrous particularly I can furnish the largest and finest stock obtainable fiom any 

 vespousible 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 leadintr 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 autuum.
