EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 
These are handsome the whole year through, supplying color at a dreary time when it is most needed. The 
• — rich flowers of many sorts contrast beautifully 
with the somber foliage of others. 
RHODODENDRONS. These, wherever 
known, are universally acknowledged to be 
the most showy, magnificently hardy ever- 
green shrubs that grow. They thrive in any 
good soil, and in the full blaze of the sun, but 
tnore luxuriantly in a good, well-prepared 
soil of leaf-mold or leaf-mold and muck and 
peat mixed, and in partial shade. 
Their broad, thick, evergreen foliage, with 
its glossy richness, would alone entitle 
Rhododendrons to a foremost place in the 
rank of evergreen shrubs, but when in June 
this mass of luxuriant foliage is almost hid- 
den by a magnificent array of beautiful 
flower-clusters, each one large enough for a 
bouquet, the shrubs are simply grand. 
A protection of leaves and brush during 
the first winter will be beneficial. The 
plants we offer are strong and bushy, 15 to 
24 inches high. Most of them will set with 
flower buds, and are too large to be sent by 
mail ; must be ordered by express. 
Seedling Hybrids, 75 cts.,*i and *1.50 each. 
Hybrids, Named Sorts, *1, *1.50, *2 and $3

size of plants, color and number of buds. Our stock is 
grown by a specialist in England. 
EUONYMUS radicans variegata. A small 
and valuable shrub, with myrtle-like leaves,
