Cotoneaster Hori'zontalis. 
Evergreen Shrubs 
and Evergreen Vines and Plants 
This group contains some of the most notable shrubs, dis¬ 
tinguished not only by their evergreen foliage, but because of 
their highly prized flowers; very useful in foundation plant¬ 
ing, for filling in beds of evergreens and for lawn specimens. 
They are sensitive to lime, and require acidity. For protection 
of roots, most Evergreens are dug carefully with a ball of the 
attached soil, sewed up in a stout burlap bag. This treatment 
is denoted E. B. (Earth Balled). In other cases, the soil is re¬ 
placed by wet moss ; in which case the notation reads M. B. 
(Moss Balled). Prices are for shipment by express or freight, 
charges collect, unless specifically otherwise noted. Because of 
extra weight, we recommend shipment of E. B. items by 
freight, to save expense. 
AZALEA Mollis. Dwarf, bushy, well branched, good for 
foundations. The flowers are a variable orange-tan, yellow 
and red. Plant thrives in both sun and shade. Mixed colors
