Broadleaf Evergreen Shrubs 
All Balled and Burlapped; Too Heavy for Mailing. 
Azalea 
Calendulacea (Flame Azalea). One of the most attractive flowering 
shrubs, growing up to 6 or 8 feet. A very profuse bloomer ; the flow¬ 
ers being a light orange or bright red, appearing before the leaves 
and remaining several weeks. The autumn foliage closely repeats 
the colors of the flowers. Each 
2 to 3 ft.$1.00 
Colorado Blue Spruce. 
EVERGREENS—Continued 
Thuya orientalis (Oriental Arbor-Vitae). A comparatively low, 
broadly pyramidal tree, native of Asia. Its color is a refreshing 
yellowish green similar to Hovey’s, although dulling to bronzy 
green in winter. Each 
2 to 2 y 2 ft..,..$1.00 
Thuya orientalis aurea nana (Berckman’s Golden Arbor-Vitae). 
A very compact, dense, slow-growing dwarf type valuable for 
foreground and edging. The flattened leaf-clusters face outwards 
edgewise, presenting a beautiful surface of vertical fluted lines. 
The color is that fresh, bright yellow tone of green found in 
Hovey’s Golden, but much brighter, and is alw-ays conspicuous. 
Each 
18 to 24 in. ..$1.00 
Thuya pyramidalis (Pyramidal Arbor- 
Vitae). Most compact and erect of the 
entire species, in form almost a counter- ^^1 ! is|§ ' • 
part of Irish Juniper. Foliage deep 
green, retaining color. Each 
2 to 3 ft.$1.00 
Thuya, Siberian. A superb 
hardy variety, somewhat simi¬ 
lar to American, with heavier 
and fuller foliage and more 
compact habit; bears trimming 
well. This variety is extensively 
used for backgrounds 
in foundation plant¬ 
ing, where dense 
bushiness is required, 
rather than height. 
Each 
24 in.$1.00 
Mollis. Dwarf growing, bushy, well branched, the foliage especially 
attractive. The flowers are a variable orange-tan, yellow and red. 
Plant thrives in both sunny and semi-shaded locations ; is very hardy 
and very good for foundation planting. Each 
18 to 24 inches ..$1.00 
Kalmia 
Latifolia (Mountain Laurel or Calico Bush). Second only to the Rhododen¬ 
drons among the broad-leaved evergreens. Its quaintly formed, rosy white 
buds and flowers cluster in great trusses during July, and contrast finely 
with the shining, dark leaves. Even small plants are gay with them. 
Especially impressive in masses, but make a brave show as separate speci¬ 
mens. Each 
2 to 3 feet.$2.00 
Mahonia 
Aquifolia (Holly-Leaved Ashberry). A beautiful evergreen shrub, with 
smooth shining holly leaves ; bright yellow flower clusters in May and blue 
berries. The leaf color varies capriciously through the year, assuming 
shades of green, with flecks of red and bronze. 
Each 
18 to 24 in...$1.00 
Globe and Pyramidal Arbor-Vitae. 
Azalea Mollis. 
Rhododendron. 
Its leathery leaves provide wonderfully rich backgrounds of 
dark green amid the floral distractions of summer, and inject 
a lively reminiscence of the season past, in winter landscapes. 
Although most effective and cared-for when planted in masses, 
smaller groups and units are invaluable for shaded nooks 
about the house or lawn. They will grow in any good soil, but 
are finest in a sun-and-wind sheltered situation., where the 
soil is deep, well drained and mulched with leaves. In hot, dry 
weather soak the ground—say about once a week. A protection 
of leaves and brush during the winter will be beneficial. 
Catawbiense. Very hardy, with attractive foliage of round 
shining green leaves, glaucous beneath, in terminal clusters. 
The flowers are borne abundantly in large trusses, in shades 
of lavender and purple, appearing early in June. 
Each 
2 to 3 ft.$ 2 - 00 
Maximum. Foliage very large and smooth, its July flowers 
in shades of rosy blush and white. Very attractive for natur¬ 
al effects along shaded walks and drives, and best for mass- 
ing. Each 
2 to 3 ft. $2 - 00 
Broadleaf Evergreens are Distinctive in Winter.
