RHODODENDRONS. SPECIMEN PLANTING IN MASS 
Evergreen Shrubs 
HESE “Broad-leaved Evergreens” are being used more and more each year because 
they are so desirable and effective in all landscape work. Their heavy leaf masses meet 
the demand for fresh green foliage to enliven and cheer the bare aspect of deciduous 
trees and shrubs in winter. But best of all is the magnificent display that most of them 
make when in bloom, especially the Rhododendron and Kalmias. Another desirable 
quality most of them have is such a fondness for shady places that they meet a large 
demand in beautifying these spots which are usually thought so difficult to adorn. 
As a rule they transplant easily, are quite hardy, give immediate results and are altogether very 
satisfactory things to use.

Azalea Amoena 
A bushy, dwarf evergreen with small green 
leaves that deepen to a lustrous coppery hue 
in winter. Its neat appearance is attractive 
at all seasons, but in April or May the whole 
plant is clothed with a mass of brilliant, claret- 
colored flowers, that hold their beauty three 
or four weeks. Such beautiful little plants 
are ornaments anywhere, and arc especially 
desirable for edging drives and walks, for 
dwarf hedges, groups or for bordering Rhodo¬ 
dendron and Kalmia beds. The habit of this 
Azalea is so dense and compact that it makes 
splendid low flowering hedges, for which pur¬ 
pose we highly recommend it.
