American Holly (Ilex opaca) 
MAHONIA (Hollygrape) 
HEATHER (Calluna) 
Irish Heath (Menziesia poli- 
folia). An excellent dwarf plant 
for the rockery. Small, glossy, 
evergreen foliage; purple, bell¬ 
shaped flowers from July to 
October. 12 in. 
Scotch Heather (Calluna vul¬ 
garis). You need not be from 
Scotland to appreciate this use¬ 
ful little plant, especially if you 
have a rock garden where it can 
be at home. 18-24 in. Purple 
flowers. Midseason. 
HOLLY (Ilex) 
Holly, American (Ilex opaca). 
Virginia’s most beautiful Broad- 
leaf Evergreen. Not only noted 
for its glossy, dark green, prickly 
foliage, but its masses of bright 
red berries which are so useful 
and popular at Christmas time, 
fully justify the planting of 
Holly. Surely you can find a 
place for planting one or more 
trees. Holly prefers a somewhat 
damp, acid soil. Grows to be 
20 to 30 ft. 
Ilex crenata (Japanese Holly). 
A much branched evergreen 
shrub, with oval, crenate leaves. 
Makes a splendid specimen and is 
also very desirable for hedge planting. 
Berries black. 
PYRACANTHA—Continued 
Pyracantha angustifolia. Low 
growing, spreading type. Or¬ 
ange yellow fruit which hangs on 
well into the Winter. Useful in a 
group in front of Lalandi. 
Pyracantha yunnanensis. Very 
similar to Lalandi but a better 
grower; larger, more glossy foli¬ 
age. Produces great masses of 
red berries. Truly a beautiful 
berried plant. 
RHODODENDRON 
This valuable evergreen is a 
native of Virginia, where it grows 
to perfection. However, under cul¬ 
tivation the soil must be treated 
with Rho-Za-Grow. You can 
then grow this beautiful plant in 
almost any soil. See page 2. 
Rhododendron catawbiense. 
Purplish red, dwarf grower and 
one of the earliest bloomers. By 
properly preparing the soil, can 
be successfully grown in various 
soils and climates. 
Rhododendron maximum. The 
strongest grower and one of the 
most popular. Varies in color 
from a white to various shades 
of pink. Makes a good back¬ 
ground for Catawbiense. 
LIGUSTRUM (Privet) 
Ligustrum japonicum (Japanese Priv¬ 
et). A compact shrub of rapid growth. 
Large, dark green foliage. White flow¬ 
ers in Spring, followed by clusters of 
blue black berries. Stands trimming well. 
Ligustrum lucidum. One of our most 
beautiful and most useful Broadleaf Ev¬ 
ergreens. Dark, glossy, green foliage 
which retains its fresh green color 
throughout the Winter. Has a weeping, 
spreading habit. Seldom more than 5 ft. 
in height; an excellent foundation plant. 
LONICERA 
Nitida. Small leaf, compact, low growing 
evergreen. Useful where a hardy, dwarf 
Boxwood-shaped evergreen is required. 
3 to 4 ft. 
MAGNOLIA 
(The Sweet Magnolia) 
Magnolia glauca. A beautiful, small, 
shrubby tree, thriving in any good soil 
or situation, and useful for positions 
too damp for many trees. The rich, 
glossy green foliage is glaucous beneath, 
giving the whole a silvery sheen. The 
cream white, waxlike flowers are highly 
fragrant and the seed pods which follow 
open to show brilliant coral seeds. Used 
in masses with evergreens, in the shrub 
border, as hedges or for specimens, it 
gives added pleasure to any planting. 
Magnolia grandiflora (Southern Mag¬ 
nolia). The evergreen Magnolia of the 
South with large, glossy green leaves. 
Beautiful waxy white flowers are borne 
in the early Summer and followed by 
large cones full of red seed in the Fall. It 
is one of the best Southern ornamental 
trees. Hardy throughout Virginia and 
as far north as Baltimore. 
Magnolia soulangeana. In habit, a 
deciduous tree but for convenience it 
is listed with other Magnolias under 
Broadleaf Evergreens. Large, purplish 
pink blossoms appear before the foliage 
in early Spring. 10 to 12 ft. 
Mahonia aquifolium. A small, attrac¬ 
tive shrub with shiny, dark green leaves 
which turn to a bronze in late Fall and 
remain so all Winter. Flowers are yel¬ 
low, followed by dark blue berries. 
Leatherleaf Hollygrape (Mahonia jap- 
onica). A very atrractive shrub with 
broad, irregular, glossy green, spiny 
leaves. Yellow flowers borne in clusters 
in early Spring. Bluish black berries. 
Grows 4 ft. 
MOUNTAIN-LAUREL 
Mountain-laurel (Kalmia latifolia). 
A native Broadleaf Evergreen resem¬ 
bling Rhododendron and requiring 
similar care. 4 to 6 ft. in height. Pink 
flowers in June. For best results plant 
in partial shade and use Rho-Za-Grow. 
NANDINA 
Nandina domestica. A brilliant orange 
red shrub in Winter, delicate foliage, 
dense, stocky. A dwarf Japanese plant. 
Leaves red when young and through 
the Winter, dark green through Sum¬ 
mer, clustered with red berries 
in Autumn. See color illustra¬ 
tion on page 28. 
PHOTINIA 
Photinia serrulata (Evergreen 
Photinia). Another broadleaf 
which is especially interesting 
and useful because of its change 
in color from a deep green in 
Summer to a crimson bronze in 
the Winter when showy masses 
of red berries also appear. It 
reaches an ultimate height of 
8 to 10 ft., but may be kept 
trimmed. The flowers are white 
and appear early in the Spring. 
PYRACANTHA 
Laland Firethorn (Pyracantha 
coccinea lalandi). A beautiful 
variety of the Evergreen Burn- 
ingbush. Very effective and de¬ 
sirable. In early Spring the plant 
is covered with a profusion of 
white flowers, which are followed 
by bright orange berries, these 
being retained all Winter. 
SAVE 
YOUR 
EVER¬ 
GREENS " D 95?.9 FF '' 
Dogs annually destroy thousands of 
dollars worth of fine evergreens and usual¬ 
ly the evergreens around your home rep¬ 
resent the most expensive plantings. 
There is, however, a way to protect your 
evergreens—inexpensive, effective, safe, 
harmless, and easy to use. Spray Dogzoff 
on your evergreens and guard them com¬ 
pletely against the depredations of dogs. 
There is nothing offensive to humans 
about Dogzoff, nor will it injure any living 
thing. Sprayed directly on the evergreens 
Dogzoff repels the dogs without any harm 
to the dogs, or the trees and shrubs them¬ 
selves. As a matter of fact, repeated tests 
have shown that Dogzoff rids plants of 
many harmful insects. 
The New Soil Conditioner and Plant Food, “Rho- 
Za-Grow” has taken the guesswork out of Rhodo¬ 
dendron growing. 
Rhododendrons and their kindred broad leaved ever¬ 
greens, the Azaleas, Kalmias, Hollies, etc., are 
lovely things, but many planters hesitate to plant these 
aristocratic American shrubs because of their exacting 
soil requirements. 
“Rho-Za-Grow” is a scientifically balanced soil 
conditioner and plant food. Use it on all plants requir¬ 
ing sour soils. “Rho-Za-Grow” contains exactly the 
proper balance of acids, neutral plant food, and humus. 
It sours and lightens the soil, and it has high plant food 
content. Apply it to your Rhododendron and Azalea 
beds, and they will show their appreciation with a wealth 
of gorgeous blooms and healthy, deep green foliage.
