EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 



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

 Andromeda floribuuda, Azalea amoena, Kalmia latifolia, the Mahonias and Rhododendrons are e.special]y 

 valuable for general planting in lai-ge masses. I am well prepared to meet the increased demand for thw 

 material and can furnish in any quantity desired the best stocl£ 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 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.
