Mountain Laurel 
Kalmia latifolia 
In England this plant is grown in 
gardens and borders and is most highly 
prized for its showy masses _ of pink 
flowers in June and for its shiny dark 
green foliage and interesting habit of 
growth. When we see it there grown in 
such perfection it seems as if we had 
rather neglected it in this country as 
“one of those native plants.” Nursery- 
grown plants, such as we offer, can be 
planted in the same way as Rhododen¬ 
drons, with the same resulting effects of 
great beauty. Mountain Laurel will 
stand partial shade, but the flowers do 
not exhibit the same rich pink coloring 
as when grown in open sunlight. Light, 
rich, well-drained soils give the best 
results. Each 10 100

Drooping Andromeda Leucotho'e catesbsei 
Its graceful, red-brown stems, arching a few feet above the ground, ^are covered 
with large leaves of dark shining green, 
and in spring with cream-white flowers in 
nodding sprays, greatly resembling small 
Lilies-of-the-Valley. As a ground-covering 
plant, in partial shade, or in the wild 
garden, it is effective and is wonderfully 
decorative in an Evergreen border for 
spots. Each 10 100

Oregon Grape, or Mahonia 
Mahonia aquifolium

following have leaves very much 
like Holly, and in spring they 
bear great heads of small, rich 
yellow flowers, followed by showy 
clusters of blue-black berries like 
bunches of grapes. Both are low- 
growing and spreading.
