HARDY SHRUBS AND PERENNIAL PLANTS 
Welgela Rosea. 
Japanese Maple. This is the beautiful dwarf blood-red maple tree that is so 
much planted in the finest-kept lawns. It is the most showy of bright-colored 
plants, and, being dwarf, is easily kept in attractive shape. Imported plants, 
feet high, $5.00 each ; 3 feet, $10.00. 
Rhododendron Catawbiense. The true Rhododendron Catawbiense of the 
Carolina mountains. The hardiest Rhododendron known. The finest of Rhodo- 
dendrons for general use, withstanding exposure and extremes of temperature 
where other Rhododendrons fail. The trusses are bright red-purple, in marked 
contrast to the muddy purple of the semi-hardy, half-breed imported variety. 
Price, strong, nursery-grown, bushy plants, 2 feet, $1.50; 2J.4 feet with bloom 
buds, $2.50 
Rhododendron Maximum is without 
doubt the noblest of American broad- 
leaved shrubs. It is found growing spar- 
ingly in New England and New York, 
more abundantly in the Pennsylvania 
mountains, but reaching perfection only in 
the southern Alleghany Mountains, where 
it grows in such luxuriance as to form a 
striking feature in the mountain land- 
scape. Price, 2 feet, $1.50; 21'2 feet, $2.50. 
Azalea lutea (Calendulacea). Great 
Flame Azalea. A noble representative of

cream color. Price, strong plants, 12 to 
18 inches, $1.00 each ; 2 feet, $2.00.

any height or shape desired, and it never 
fails to produce large heads of choice 
white blossoms that .remain beautiful for 
weeks. Price, 2-year plants, 60 cts. ; 3-
