EUONYMUS JAPONICA — A neat trailing variety, with small, glossy green 
leaves broadly margined with white. Valuable for rock work or borders of 
beds; also for vases or baskets. This variety is hardy in the north. 
HOLLY, AMERICAN — Deep green glossy leaves with scattered spiny 
teeth; bright red berries. 
HOLLY, ENGLISH — A small tree with shining, dark green thorny leaves, 
somewhat resembling the oak in form. In winter the tree is covered with 
bright red berries. 
HOLLY, GOLDEN VARIEGATED — Leaves having a large blotch of 
creamy-yellow, surrounded by a green border. 
LAURUSTINUS — A well known winter flowering shrub of great beauty, 
producing an abundance of white flowers; well adapted for hedges. 
LAURUSTINUS, ROTUNDIFOLIA — Far superior to the common variety; 
leaves rounded, deep glossy green. Flowers much larger than the above. 
Better adapted to this valley; never sun-scalds. 
LAURUSTINUS, VARIEGATA — Leaves blotched with silvery white. Very 
fine. 
MOUNTAIN OR AMERICAN LAUREL, OR CALICO BUSH— Broad, glossy 
green, shining foliage, flowers in large and showy clusters of elegant shape, 
and most beautiful color, mostly pink or white. Few broad-leaved Ever- 
greens are as beautiful in foliage and none can excel the beauty and deli- 
cate form of its flowers. Requires about the same treatment as the Rhodod- 
endron. 
RHODODENDRON, OR ROSEBAY — This, wherever known, is universally 
acknowledged to be the most showy, magnificent, 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 pre- 
pared soil of leaf mould, or leaf mould and muck and peat mixed, and in par- 
tial shade, and does especially well near seacoast. It is abundantly supplied 
with numerous fibrous roots that retain a quantity of earth in lifting so that 
it can safely be removed at any season of the year, except the short period of 
their rapid growth, covering a period of June and July. 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 lux- 
uriant foliage is almost hidden by the magnificent array of beautiful flowers 
in clusters and each cluster large enough for a lady boquet, it gives it a pre- 
eminence that our pen -would fail to portray. Planted singly, in the flower 
garden or upon the lawn, they are objects of interest, but their greatest 
beauty, as in many other plants, can only be fully developed by artistically 
massing them in beds upon the lawn, when the different varieties of white, 
purple, blue, cherry, lilac, mauve and crimson can be made to blend or con- 
trast at will, producing an effect unrivalled by any other hardy plant in ex- 
istence. We have a considerable list of the hardy grafted varieties that are 
of higher price and much more desirable than the seedlings of the Cataw-
