EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 



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

 Andromeda floribunda, Azalea ainoena, Kalmia latifolia, the Mahonias and Rhododendrons are especially- 

 valuable for 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 

 Mahonias and Rhododendrons particularly I can furnish the largest and finest stock obtainable from any 

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



The medal awarded for my Rhododendron exhibit was the result of com^ietition at the World's Fair 

 Of the leadins; 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.
