EVERGREEN SHRUBS, continued. 
lieiophjlluin buxifolium, var. prostratum 
(Mountain Heath). 4 to 15 ft. hig^h. Our beau- 
tiful, liardy, high mountain variety of the 
east, with prostrate liahit, making it one of the 
finest plants for rockwork in cultivation. 
This fine shrub cannot be too highly praised 
for all work of this kind, aadits Alpine hahitat 
insures its perfect hardiness, even in the ex- 
treme North. A line stock on hand. 
Ijeucothoe Catesbasi. 3 to 10 ft. Very useful 
undershrub for massing, and without a ready 
substitute. Beautiful recurving sprays of 
green, often coloring beautifully. 
Bhodotleiidron Catawbiense (Largo Purple 
Rhododendron). 10 to 15 ft. This is the 
great purple, strong-blooded Rhododendron, 
that is not only planted the world over for the 
grand effects of flower or foliage it affords, 
massed or singly, but is used as the parent 
stock for the majority of the beautiful Rho- 
dodendron hybrids that are so popular now, 
its color, vitality and hardiness placing it 
without a peer for this use. Blooms May 
and .June. 
Rhododendron maximum (Rose Bay. Great 
Laurel). 10 to SO ft. A superb shrub or low 
tree, often 30 ft. high in our Southern moun- 
tains. Its large white or pink blossoms ap- 
pear in large trusses in July, the latest of all 
the Rhododendrons— a quality which adds 
greatly to its value as a fine ornamental. Its 
dark green, broad foliage is the finest of all 
the species. Without doubt the noble.st of all 
our native shrubs, and "absolutely hardy 
from Vermont to Georgia." Pleage liotice. we 
have on hand a fine stock of extra-size clnmps 
of this noble shrub, which will give imme- 
diate effect. Kindly order early.

dron ) . 6 to 10 ft. Very useful small species, 
the leaves and flowers punctate with small 
brown dots.

beautiful evergreen, climbing Cherokee Rose 
of the South, but unluckily not hardy North.

Hardy Native DecIdMOtuis ShriuibSo 
One of the most interesting and important features of our varied mountain flora is 
the large list of beautiful hardy shrubs, deciduous and evergreen, which are so lavishly 
placed for use within our easy reach, not, we trust, to undergo the ofttimes blighting and 
prosaic effect of taming, but to come with all their own fresh, native, delicate tracery and
