Euonymus 
Upright  evergreen  shrubs  with  handsome  foli- 
age, that  are  valued  for  many  purposes.  They  grow 
best  in  light  or  sandy  soils,  a  fact  that  suits  them 
splendidly  for  seashore  plantings.  In  such  locations 
they  also  make  good  hedges.  Unfortunately  the 
Japanese  varieties  sometimes  winter-kill  in  sections 
much  north  of  Philadelphia,  though,  if  cut  back  to 
the  ground,  they  frequently  recover  and  make 
stronger  plants  than  before.

work.  Each        10  100

Kalmias  •  Laurel 
These  flowering  shrubs  compare  well  in  gran- 
deur with  the  Rhododendrons.  They  are  very 
hardy,  grow  almost  as  well  in  swamps  as  in  drier 
locations  and  prefer  partly  shaded  situations,  but 
also  thrive  well  in  sunny  places.  ^

K.  latifolia.  Mountain  Laurel.  These 
bushy  shrubs  with  age  sometimes  attain

oblong  leaves  are  always  fresh  and  glossy, 
making  possible  charming  foliage  effects 
and  cheery  landscapes  at  all  seasons.  In

delicate  pink  buds,  beautiful  in  themselves, 
open  in  large  corymbs  of  pink  and  white 
flowers.  They  bloom  after  the  Rhododen- 
drons and  are  useful  for  massing  with 
them   or  for   wooded  effects  on  large 
lawns.  Each        10  100
