RHODODENDRONS—SPECIMEN PLANTING IN MASS. HIGHLAND PARK, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
Evergreen: Broad-leaved Shrubs 
HESE enchanting plants produce the most delightful effects in ornamental planting. Being 
tolerant to shade they give permanent results where deciduous shrubs would surely die. The 
rich green, waxy foliage illuminates the gloomy winter days most effectively. They require 
a moist soil and the cultural directions given for rhododendrons and kalmias should be faith¬ 
fully carried out. All of these evergreen shrubs are shipped with ball of earth, wrapped in burlap, and 
can be transplanted with perfect safety, insuring bloom the first season. 
ANDROMEDA 
With its dark green leaves, attractive the year 
round, no other of all the broad-leaved evergreens 
gives greater pleasure. Its flowers are borne in 
short, narrow spikes from buds of the fall pre¬ 
ceding. These hang on the stems in much the 
same way as do the blossoms, giving the plants the 
appearance of being in flower during the winter. 
The andromeda enjoys a partially shady situation 
and a fine, rich soil; in fact, conditions similar to 
those required by the rhododendrons and kalmias. 
ANDROMEDA floribunda. A handsome plant 
of dwarf, compact habit; rich dark green foli¬ 
age and snow-white flowers in great profusion 
in spring and should have the same treatment 
as rhododendrons.

drons.

AZALEA amoena. A dwarf, bushy shrub; foli¬ 
age turning to a bronze-brown in winter. Cov¬ 
ered entirely in May with enveloping masses of 
rich purplish red double flowers. It is especially 
adapted for fringing rhododendron groups, or 
for bedding on a lawn. Requires protection 
here, but no matter how much care they need 
the grower will be amply rewarded for it.

Azalea hinodegiri. A magnificent hardy Japanese 
variety; a decided improvement upon A. amoena, 
which it somewhat resembles in habit of growth, 
but is a more vigorous grower and foliage is 
heavier. Bright carmine flowers are produced 
in enormous quantities. In fact, when in full 
bloom, the plant is almost a solid mass of color. 
Remains in bloom for a long period. In the 
fall and winter months the foliage assumes 
a reddish appearance. This variety is hardy 
in the North.
