KELSEY'S HARDY AMERICAN PLANTS 
i 
Sprays of Leucothoe catesbaei, the most beautiful edging 
for Rhododendron plantings 
KALMIA latifolia, Kalmia (Mountain Laurel). 
4 to 25 ft. 
One of the grandest of our native broadlcaf 
evergreen shrubs, attaining tree-like propor- 
tions in our Southern mountains. In cultiva- 
tion it is a broad, thick shrub, and, when in full 
bloom, of surpassing beauty. The wheel- 
shaped flowers in close terminal corymbs, pure 
while to pink, appear in May or June in such 
profusion as almost to smother the foliage. 
Its thick, shining leaves, conspicuous the year 
round, make it a shrub of greatest value for 
massing. The hardiness of Kalmia latiiolia is 
beyond doubt, it being found sparingly in 
Nova Scotia, and increasingly in abundance 
through New l-'ngland and the middle Atlantic 
States (particularly in the higher altitudes), 
till the crest of the Southern Alleghanics is 
reached.

LEUCOTHOE catesbaei. Drooping Leucothoe. 
3 to 8 ft. 
Few shrub evergreens of the broadleaf sort 
have the grace of this one. The thick, shining 
green leaves arc evenly disposed on long 
recurved branches with dense racemes of 
beautiful, white, bell-shaped flowers. As an 
under-shrub or for banks and borders of streams 
it is without a rival. One of the most useful 
of all evergreens for edging the Hhododendron 
or Azalea plantation. The sprays make 
beautiful winter decorations indoors, turning a 
rich bronze in the fall where exposed to the sun.

One of the finest of all broadleaf American 
shrubs. Compact growth, with shining ever-

white flowers in May. The next season's buds 
appear after the flowering season and give the 
plant the appearance of being in bloom the 
year round. My slock is all strictly American- 
grown.
