KALMIAS 
These  flowering  shrubs  compare  well  in 
grandeur  with  the  Rhododendrons.  They  are 
very  hardy,  "grow  almost  as  well  in  swamps  as 
in  drier  locations  and  prefer  partly  shaded  situ- 
ations, but  thrive  also  well  in  sunny  places." 
Kalmia  angustifolia.  Sheep  Lai  rel.  A  dwarf, 
vigorous  variety,  with  deep  rose-colored 
flowers  that  open  early.    1I2  to  2)4  feet,  50c. 
Calmia  latifolia.  Mountain  Laurel.  These 
bushy  shrubs  with  age  sometimes  attain  tree- 
like proportions.  Their  elongated,  egg-shaped 
leaves  are  always  fresh  and  glossy,  making 
possible  charming  foliage  eft'ects,  and  cheery 
landscapes  at  all  seasons.  In  early  spring 
they  bloom  profusely.  The  delicate  pink 
buds,  beautiful  in  themselves,  open  into  large 
corymbs  of  pink  and  white  flowers.  They 
bloom  after  the  Rhododendrons  and  are 
useful  for  massing  with  them  or  for  wooded 
effects  on  large  lawns.
