and park and cemetery official, as well as nurseryman and florist, in this countty and abroad : The Azaleas, with 
their masses of brilliant, pure colors and delightful fragrance ; the Andromedas and Leucoth(ES, fringed with their 
panicles of tinted hell-Jio7uers ; the dense-foliaged Calycanthus, whose abundant, chocolate-colored flowers emit such 
a peculiar, fruity odor; the Stuartias, covered with large, showy flowers — the"««/(Vr American Camellia"; 
Viburnums, the large leaves coloring so richly at first hint of autumn ; the Cuionanthus, drooping its delicate, 
white, fringe-like racemes, overcharged with a wild perfume; and the little hardy Xanthorhiza, its peculiar, 
modest brown flowers in pendulous racemes below the conspicuous pinnate leaves, which color a bright orange in 
autumn. 
The Rhododendrons and Kalmias, however, might well claim the lead in shrub ornamentals, combiuing, as 
they do, the dark, broad, evergreen foliage with their profuse trusses of briUiant-stamened flowers. Massed or 
singly, they possess at all seasons a special charm of their own, and we know of no ornamentals, native or exotic, 
that can take their well-earned place in gardening. Then, for yellow effects we might name the Hypericums, Dier- 
viLi.AS and Hamamelis, but will cut short the list and give a brief description of each in order.
