Kalmia: Mountain Laurel 



Kalmia latifolia. Bushy shrubs, with elongated

 in themselves, open in large corymbs of pink and 

 white flowers. They are useful for massing with 

 Rhododendrons or by themselves. When used 

 either way, as an undergrowth in woodlands, they 

 produce splendid natural landscapes.

Holly-leaved Mahonia. Mahonia Aquifolia. 

 Native along the Pacific Coast, but does well here 

 with slight protection. Handsome prickly foliage 

 that is a deep, glossy green in Spring and turns to 

 a bright bronze color in Winter. Its good qualities 

 commend it for many places, especially for planting 

 in connection with Azalea Amoena, with which it 

 produces an agreeable contrast in foliage effects.

 of Mahonia aquifolia. Habit of growth is similar

 and growth more rapid. This variety is quite hardy 

 and better suited to withstand severe Winters.

Japanese Mahonia. Mahonia Japonica. A 

 beautiful plant, but not dependably hardy north of 

 Philadelphia. Large compound leaves that are 

 dark green and produce a beautiful contrast with 

 other evergreens. It has an additional value in 

 the yellow flowers that appear in long racemes 

 early in the Spring.

Osmanthus aquifolium. An attractive ever- 

 green shrub with stiff, prickly foliage. Will grow

 Aquifolia).

Yucca Filamentosa : Adam's 

 Needle 



In June and July it sends up tall stalks laden with 

 ivory-white flowers. Desirable alone or in shrubbery 

 and herbaceous borders. Grows well most anywhere 

 and endures dry, sandy soils, where little else will 

 grow. The flowers come after most other Ever- 

 green Shrubs have finished blooming. This gives 

 them an additional value for extending the season. 

 The evergreen foliage harmonizes well with other 

 Broad-leaved Evergreens. See illustration below.
