latlfoUa. Mountain Laurel. One of „ . . 
broad-leaved evergreen siirubs, attaining tree-like proportions in our 
southern mountains. In cultivation it is a broad, thicit shrub, and 
when in full bloom, of surpassing beauty. The wheel-shaped flowers 
in clo.se terminal corymbs, pure white to pink, appear in May or June 
in such profu.sion as almost to smother the foliage. Its thick, shin- 
ing leaves, coiLspicuous the year round, make it a shrub of greatest 
value for ma.s.sing. The hardiness of Kalmia tati/olia is beyond 
doubt, it being found sparingly in Nova .Scotia and increasingly in 
abundance through Xcw England and the Middle Atlantic States 
(particularly in the higher altitudes), till the crest of the Southern 
AUeghenies is reached. Here, the true American home of the broad- 
leaved ericacea>, perfect conditions of soil and climate are found, 
producing such a luxuriance of growth as to form veritable jungles 
of gorgeous beauty, miles in e.\tent. It is found throughout South 
Carolina, Georgia and Northern Florida, along the banks of streams 
and cypress swamps. Thi-i proves it to be a plant that will stand 
almost semi-tropical conditions as well as extreme cold. It is 
therefore extremely valuable for the Southern States, taking its 
place with the magni6cent Indian Azaleas, which are not hardy in 
the North. Per 10 100 1,000

*Leucothoe catesbsei. 3 to 8 ft. Few shrub evergreens of the broad- 
leaved .sort have the grace of this one. Has thick, shining green 
leaves, evenly disposed on long, recurved branches, and den.se racemes 
of beautiful white bell-shai>ed flowers. As an undershrub or for 
banks and the borders of streams it is without a rival. The spraya 
make beautiful winter decorations indoors, turning a rich bronze 
in the fall where exposed to the sun. Over 40,000 plants in our
