Hardy Native SHRUBS and PLANTS

Large plantings of Rhododendrons give a color effect not equalled by other shrubs 
G ROUPS of ordinary flowering shrubs and familiar 
evergreens are seen around many homes and in 
most landscape work. Native broad-leaved 
evergreens and the lovely native ferns and plants are 
not often found. Possibly they have not been pre¬ 
sented in proper fashion; possibly planters have not 
realized the wonderful effects that can be secured from 
this native plant material; then, too, some people 
thought that such plants were expensive. 
The latter idea should be changed. These plants cost 
no more than do the common things that you see every¬ 
where. Neither do they require more care. They will, 
however, lift your grounds and garden far above the 
places you see every day, and as the plants increase in 
size and beauty they become more and more valuable 
as a part of your home-grounds. The collections pre¬ 
sented here give a sufficient number of each plant to 
make a real showing. They are adapted to sun and 
shade, to masses for color, and for groups around the 
house foundations. All plants are nursery-grown.

freight, charges not prepaid.
