Ilex opaca. American Holly. The Holly is native along the coast 
as far north as Cape Cod, including Long Island. It is a 
beautiful tree and can be used for hedges. As it does not like 
to have the sun shine on its head, nestle it among pines and 
oaks as you see it in the woods. It will not keep its best 
color out in the winter sun. Holly is slow to start growing, so 
don’t expect to get big ones cheap, but plant a lot of small 
ones.

KALMIA latifolia. Mountain Laurel. Here is something you 
can use by thousands to decorate your woodland, plant in 
the open lawn or border, underplant evergreen windbreak 
or screen, mass at the foundation of the house, or plant just 
for its beauty. You can add it to your commonplace shrub 
border. You will get extra quality and value. We have big, 
broad shrubs with large balls of earth. You can plant them 
all summer. All they ask is to have you tuck them in with 
leaves and give them a drink the first summer. The flowers 
are abundant in late June, but the crowning glory is the all-

LEUCOTHOE catesbaei. Drooping Leucothoe. A close relative 
of the laurel and native to the southern mountains. Ever¬ 
green foliage like laurel but bronzed in winter. Flowers like 
crowded lily-of-the-valley. Makes a long, arching spray, 
perhaps 3 feet long. It is particularly valuable among the tall 
evergreens on the north side of your house and among your 
shrubs and trees. It is entirely harmonious with Long Island 
woodland and yet different enough to attract appreciative 
attention. Each 10 100
