Hollj'-like shrub, with showy, golden yellow 
flowers and purplish leaves. Very ornamental. 
MOUNTAIN LAUREL— Kalmia. 
LatifoUa. — Broad, glossy-green, shining foli- 
age, flowers in large and showy clusters of ele- 
gant shape, and most beautifully colored. Few 
broad-leaved evergreens are as beautiful in 
foliage, and none can excel the beauty and deli- 
cate form of its flowers. 
RHODODENDRON— Rosebay. 
This, wherever grown, is universally ac- 
knowledged to be the most showy, magnificent 
hardy evergreen shrub that grows. It should 
be planted in well prepared soil of leaf mould, 
or leaf mould and muck and peat mixed, and 
in partial shade. The broad thick evergreen 
foliage, with its glossy richness, would alone 
entitle it to a place foremost in the rank of 
evergreen shrubs, but when in June this luxur- 
iant mass of evergreen foliage is almost hidden 
by the magnificent array of beautiful flowers 
in clu^^ter3 iiiul each cluster large enough for a 
lady's bouquet, it gives it a pre-eminence that 
our pen would fail to portray. Planted singly, 
in the flower garden or upon the lawn, they are 
objects of interest, but their greatest beauty, 
as in many other plants, can only be fully de- 
veloped by artistically massing them in beds 
upon the lawn, when the different colors can be 
made to blend or contrast at will.
