RHODODENDRONS. 
EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 
PERNETTYA mucronata. The undernoted new 
varieties, many pf which have received first-class 
certificates from the Royal Horticultural Society, 
are beautiful dwarf evergreen shrubs, and highly 
ornamental, particularly during the winter and 
spring months, when the various colored berries 
are exceedingly pretty and attractive, growing 
freely, and producing clusters of berries, in colors 
varying from white to pink, scarlet, purple, and 
almost black. 
This is a new shrub to customers, and is after the 
nature of Rhododendrons. The berries they pro- 
duce are somewhat like those on the Mountain 
Ash, and in the winter months they are very attract- 
ive and cause much comment on their beauty 
by lovers of shrubs. We are sure our customers 
will be much pleased with them, as they are found 
in the best gardens of Europe.

40 cts. each. 
English. Deep green, glossy leaves, with rough 
edge. This is one of the finest of winter ever- 
greens. 50 cts. and 75 cts. each. 
RHODODENDRONS. This, wherever known, is 
universally acknowledged to be the most showy, 
magnificently hardy evergreen shrub that grows. 
It will thrive in any good soil without any special 
preparation, and in the full blaze of the sun. But 
it is more luxuriant in good, well-prepared soil of 
leaf-mold or leaf-mold and muck and peat mixed, 
and in partial shade. 
The broad, thick, evergreen foliage, with its 
glossy richness, would alone entitle it to a place 
foremost in the rank of evergreen shrubs, but 
when in June this mass of luxuriant foliage is 
almost hidden by the magnificent array of beauti- 
ful flowers in clusters, and each cluster large 
enough for a bouquet, it is 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.
