BLOOM OF RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM 

 (See page 32.) 



KALMIA latifolia. Mountain Laurel or Calico 

 l^'BrsH (II). Next to the hardy Rhododendrons. 

 Kalmia Latifolia is perhaps the most desirable of 

 all of the really hardy Evergreen Shrubs for 

 . massing and grouping purposes. The beautiful 

 laurel-likeleaves and greatclusters of exquisitely 



beautiful small rose tinted flowers, make these 

 plants specially attractive all the year. When 

 nursery grown and frequently transplanted the 

 plants develop in bushy, compact form, and re- 

 moving with large ball can be readily trans- 

 planted without any loss or injury to the plants. 

 The treatment as to soil, mulching, etc., should 

 be similar to that for the hardy Rhododendrons. 



For immediate effect grand specimen plants 

 from 2 or 3 feet high up to 4 to 6 feet in height, 

 and nearly as broad as high, well furnished and 

 thickly budded plants are furnished in carload 

 lots at the exceptionally low prices of $100 to $250 

 per car, according to size and quality of the 

 stock. These are indigenous plants sj^ecially 

 selected in the open ground and remove with 

 ball, thus insuring perfect safety and success in 

 transplanting. Fine nursery grown, properly 

 transplanted plants, from 9 to 12, 12 to 18 and 

 18 to 24 inches, from $6 to $18 per dozen, accord- 

 ing to size and quality; and at special prices 

 per hundred and thousand. 



MAHONIA aquifolium. Holly-Leaved Ma- 

 HONIA. (III). Of medium size; large, shining 

 purplish green, prickly leaves and bright yel- 

 low flowers in spring. Very fine in masses or 

 borders. 25 cts. and 35 cents. ; $10 to $20 per 

 100. Very low rates per 1,000. 



MAHONIA japonica. (III). A fine evergreen 

 variety, and next to the holly in beauty of foli- 

 age. Not entirely hardy north of Philadelphia. 

 $6 to $10 per dozen; $30 to $50 per 100. 



MENZIESIA polifolia. Irish Heath. (IV). A 

 dwarf shrub; beautiful white flowers. 75 cts. 



PRINOS glabra. Common Inkkerrv. (II). A 

 handsome shrub with shining foliage and fine 

 black berries in autumn. 50 cts. Low prices 

 per 100 and per 1,000. 



ULEX Europaea. European Fi'rze. (IV). 

 Curious prickly shrub, with yellow blossoms. 

 35 cts. 



YUCCA filamentosa. Adam'sI Needle. (IV). 

 In midsummer an immense panicle of lilj'-like 

 flowers from center, and attains a height of 4 to 

 5 feet. Fine for use in shrubbery beds and 

 borders. 25 cts. to 50 cts. Low rates per 100. 



RHododeridrons Hardy Named 

 Catawbiense Varieties, dl.) 



For many years these fine hardy Rhododendrons have been one of my leading specialties. The 

 universal success with the many thousands of these plants supplied by me for the various country 

 seats and other private and public grounds attest the quality and reliability of this stock. 



My plants are exceptionally well grown, several times transplanted, bushy, budded, well furn- 

 ished, and in every way desirable for immediate effect. 



Great care has been exercised in including only such varieties as may be classed as absolutely 

 liardy in the Central and Northern States; and in the severe climate of New England these tested 

 varieties of " iron clad" hardiness succeed with ordinary treatment. 



Planted in masses, groups or borders these beautiful Shrubs are incomparably fine, excelling in 

 beauty when in flower and foliage almost any other hardy Shrub or Plant known. The massive heads 

 of bloom, of the most beautiful colors, are always a striking and beautiful object in lawn and 

 landscape. 



The Kversrreetis arrived in excellent coiiilition.
