Evergreen Shrubs 



Azalea, continued 



Lutea (calendulacea). Flame-colored Azalea. One 

 of the most gorgeous of flowering shrubs, producing in 

 late spring profuse clusters of llovvers ranging from flame 

 color through shades of red and yellow. Grows naturally 

 from New York and Pennsylvania to Georgia. A most 

 valuable plant, remaining in bloom for several weeks. 

 Grows in cultivation from 6 to 8 feet high. 1^ 2 to 2 feet, 

 $1 each. 



Nudiflora. Swamp Honeysuckle, or Pinkster Flower. 

 A handsome, native, free-flowering shrub 3 to 5 feet 

 high. Flowers in early spring before the leaves appear. 

 The extreme earliness and beauty of the pink flowers 

 commend this shrub to the planter. 2 to 3 feet, 50 cts. 

 each. 



Pontica gandavensis. Ghent Azalea. Of the de- 

 ciduous, hardy Azaleas, those known as Ghent hybrids 

 are among the most tloriferous and produce the largest 

 of flowers, which appear in profuse clusters in spring, 

 covering the branches with their varied and gorgeous 

 hues of white, pink, red, and yellow. The following are 

 the best and hardiest:

Vaseyi (Rhododendron Vaseyi). Carolina Azalea. 

 A distinct and remarkably free-flowering shrub, native 

 of the mountains of North Carolina. Flowers profuse, 

 pink or rose, expanding in early spring before the leaves 

 appear. In autumn the foliage assumes a deep, rich 

 tone of vinous red or crimson. Attains a height of from 

 4 to 6 feet. I '2 to 2 feet, $1 each. 



Viscosa. Small White Azalea. Grows naturally from 

 Maine and Ohio to Florida and blooms profusely at an 

 early age. Flowers small, white, fragrant, and the 

 latest of the species to bloom. Prefers wet soil and is 

 excellent for massing in landscape planting. 2 to 3 feet, 

 50 cts. each; large, collected specimens, $1 to $2 each. 



Yodogawa. A very beautiful and useful Japanese 

 deciduous species. The flowers are large, double, of a 

 layender-pink shade. It is vigorous of growth and 

 foliage assumes rich color tones in autumn. 2 to 3 feet, 

 $2 to $2. 50 each. 



Each season this favorite increases in popu- 

 larity which is well deserved, for its uses arc al- 

 most innumerable. As a tub or pot-plant, there 

 is no broad-leaved evergreen to compare with it. 

 It is unquestionably the most attractive and per- 

 manent hedge-plant. There are some famous 

 ! hedges here in cold New England linking us with 

 past centuries, the years running well into the 

 hundreds. 



The large cities demand Boxwood more and 

 more each year for outside window decoration and 

 embellishment of entrances. As a pot or tub- 

 plant, it is equally desirable. The importation of 

 Boxwood having ceased, it is becoming scarce. 

 The stock offered here has been grown in our 

 nursery for two or more years and is thoroughly 

 acclimated. ^^^.j^
