HARDY NATIVE AMERICAN ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 
Varieties. 
Evergreen Shmbs, continued. 
Leiophylluiti buxifolium (Sand riyrtle). 12 to 24 in 
Very showy, bushy evergreen, the clusters of pure 
white flowers with pink stamens completely cover- 
ing the plant. Blooms a long time. 
Leiophyllum buxifolium, var prostratum (noun- 
tain Heatli). 4 to 15 ft. high 
Our beautiful, hardy, high mountain variety of the 
east, with prostrate halnl, 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, 
and its Alpme habitat insures its perfect hardiness, 
even in the extreme north. A fine stock on hand. 
Leucotlloe Catesbsei. 3 to 10 ft • 
Very useful undershrub for massing, and without 
a ready substitute. Beautiful recurving sprays of 
green, often coloring beautifully. 
Rhododendron Catawbiense (1-arge Hurple Rlio- 
dodendron). 10 to 15 ft 
This is the great purple, strong-blooded Rhododen- 
dron, 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 Rhododendron hybrids that are so 
popular now, its color, vitality and hardiness placing 
it without a peer for this use. Blooms May and June. 
Rliododendron maximunnRose Bay.Oreat Laurel). 
10 to 30 ft 
A superb shrub or low tree, often 30 ft. high in our 
Southern mountains. Its large white or pink blos- 
soms appear 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 noblest of all our native shrubs, and "absolutely 
hardy from Vermont to Georgia." Please notice, vie 
have on hand a fine stock of extra-size clumps of 
this noble shrub, which will give immediate effect. 
Kindly order early. 
Rhododendron punctatum(Small Pink R.) 6 to 10 ft. 
Very useful small species, the leaves and flowers 
punctate with small brown dots. 
Rosa laevigata (Cherokee Rose). 10 to 20 ft

Hardy Native Deciduous Shrubs. 
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 tints of leaf and flower, lending (and at so little cost) that enchanting natural beauty to our garden 
architecture so sought after by all lovers of nature, and attained so rarely, though oftener more recently, by our 
best landscape professionals through these means. 
I would not needlessly enumerate the long list of particularly desirable shrubs, but feel it is not out of place 
here to make special mention of a few which are exceptionally worthy the attention of every landscape gardener
