Kalmia latifolia. 
(Mountain Laurel.) 
One of the grandest

terminal corymb, pure white to pink, appear 
in May or June in such profusion as almost to 
smother the foliage. Its thick, shiny leaves, 
conspicuous the year round, make it a shrub 
of greatest value for massing. Perfectly 
hardy, should be planted and cared for the 
same as Rhododendrons. Price, small plants
