EVERGREENS—Continued 
Azalea Mollis 
Globe Arbor-Vitae. 
Broadleaf Evergreen Shrubs 
Azalea 
All Balled and Burlapped; Too Heavy for Mailing. 
Calendulacea (Flame Azalea). One of the most attractive flowering shrubs, grow¬ 
ing up to 6 or 8 feet. A very profuse bloomer ; the flowers 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 .$1.50 
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 . $1.50 
Kalmia 
Latifolia (Mountain Laurel or Calico Bush). Second only to the Rhododendrons 
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 specimens. Each 
2 to 3 ft.$2.00 
Thuya occidentalis (American Arbor-Vitae). Pyramidal shape; soft green foliage 
in spring and summer which changes to brown or bronze in winter. Rapid grower 
and fine for massing or hedges. Each 
3 to 4 ft.....$1.50 
Thuya occidentalis Hoveyi (Hovey’s Golden Arbor-Vitae). Small, hardy tree, com¬ 
pact, foliage light golden green. One of the best short evergreens. Each 
18 to 24 in., balled and burlapped.$1.00 
Thuya occidentalis gTobosa (Globe Arbor-Vitae). Forms a dense, low globe; hand¬ 
some shade of green. Each 
18 to 24 in.'.$1.00 
Thuya occidentalis lutea (George Peabody Arbor-Vitae). A beautiful columnar 
variety, with strong golden suf¬ 
fusion. Each 
2 to 3 ft.$1.00 
Thuya pyramidalis (Pyramidal Arbor-Vitae). Most compact and erect 
of the entire species, in form almost a counterpart of Irish Juniner. 
Foliage deep green, retaining color. Each 
2 to 3 ft.$1.00 
Thuya, Siberian. A superb hardy variety, somewhat similar to American, 
with heavier and fuller foliage and more compact habit; bears trimming 
well. This variety is extensively used for backgrounds in foundation 
planting, where dense bushiness is required, rather than height. 
Each 
24 in.$1.00 
Roster’s Bine Spruce 
Thuya orientalis (Oriental Ar¬ 
bor-Vitae). A comparatively low, 
broadly pyramidal tree, native 
of Asia. Its color is a refreshing 
yellowish green, similar to Hov¬ 
ey’s, although dulling to bronzy 
green in winter. Each 
2 to 3 ft.$1.00 
Broadleaf Evergreens are Distinctive in Winter. 
Rhododendron 
Its leathery leaves provide wonderfully rich backgrounds of dark 
green amid the floral distractions of summer, and inject a lively 
reminiscence of the season past, in winter landscapes. Although 
most effective and cared-for when planted in masses, smaller 
groups and units are invaluable for shaded nooks about the house 
or lawn. They will grow in any good soil, but are finest in a sun- 
and-wind sheltered situation, where the soil is deep, well-drained 
and mulched with leaves. In hot, dry weather soak the ground 
say about once a week. A protection of leaves and brush during 
the winter will be beneficial. 
Catawbiense. Very hardy, with attractive foliage of round shin¬ 
ing green leaves, glaucous beneath, in terminal clusters. The 
flowers are borne abundantly in large trusses, in shades of 
lavender and purple, appearing early in June. 
Each 
2 to 3 ft.$ 2 - 00 
Maximum. Foliage very large and smooth, its July flowers in 
shades of rosy blush and white. Very attractive for natural 
effects along shaded walks and drives, and best for massing.
