The Glory of Rhododendron and Azalea is Intensified Against a Background 
of Taller Evergreens and Trees 
Flowering Skruks tkat are 
Evergreen 
N O term as applied to growing things is more expressive 
than “evergreen,” denoting a tree or shrub which bears 
its green leaves or needles not only in Summer, but 
through the changing colors of Autumn and amidst the white 
of Winter snows. The qualities dominant in evergreen shrubs 
are richness of profuse bloom, individuality in form, and neat¬ 
ness of growth, making them pre-eminently desirable in plant¬ 
ings near the house and in the garden. 
A background or combination planting with the Japanese 
Cypresses (Retinosporas ), Junipers, Yews ( T&xus ) or Arbor- 
vitfes will accentuate the glory of the Azaleas and Rhododen¬ 
drons, while the glossy evergreen-leaved and bright-berried 
Japanese Holly (Ilex), Evergreen Thorn ( Crataegus ), and the 
Quince Berries (Cotoneaster) and Arbutus Shrub (Abelia) are 
choice shrubs that cannot be too highly recommended; in form 
and color they lend a note of richness and refinement. 
For many years we have paid special attention to the grow¬ 
ing of this class of plants and the stock which we offer represents 
the most meritorious sorts for American conditions. The plants 
have specially well-developed root-systems and the tops are ex¬ 
ceptionally wide and spreading in proportion to the height.
