EVERGREEN SHRUBS." 
Kalmia latifolia (Mountain Laurel). This we consider the best 
of our native evergreen shrubs. Its large white or rose-colored flow- 
ers in close corytnbs arc exceedingly showy, and few plants give such 
long-continued satisfaction. Its perpetually green leaves commend 
it to our attention and set forth additional claims, so often nutintaiued, 
that it should be recognized as our "National Flower." Though so 
difficult to transplant from the woods, yet when properly grown in the 
nursery no failures occur. Small, 25 ots. ; medium, 75 cts. ; larger 
plants, $1; extra plants, $2. 
Laurel, Schipksensis. This is a new evergreen shrub, with large, 
broad, shining, deep green leaves, resembling the Bay Tree. Said to 
be very hardy. SnuUl plants, $2. 
Mahonia aquifolia. Handsome, broad, spiny-foliaged plants, 
resenibliug holly; green in summer, but tinted with crimson in 
autuinti. Flowers in dense clusters, followed by bunches of purple 
berries. .\ very alt?-active shrub, adapted to shady places. 2.5c. to 50c. 
Rhododendron Catawbiense. A popular hardy native Rhododen- 
dron. Its glossy, dark green foliage and masses of lilac-purple flow- 
ers in great clusters cause it to be admired in any situation, whether 
planted singly or massed. The blossoms appear in May or early June 
in the greate.st profusion. Fine plants, $1 and $1.50.
