Broad-leaved Evergreen Shrubs. 
These are the most valuable of all the shrubs, possessing as they do, beautiful foliage which remains upon the 
plant the year round. Moreover, Rhododendrons, Kalmias and Azaleas give a display of bloom that is magnificent 
beyond words to describe. These shrubs are useful for grouping and stand alone for producing interesting and charm¬ 
ing wintei effects. The plants I offer are all strong, well-developed ones—much too large to be sent by mail. A 
dozen of any variety will be supplied at ten times the price for one. 
AZALEA. 
AMOENA.—A dense, dwarf growing shrub, with slender 
branches and semi-double flowers of bright, cheerful, 
rosy-purple, produced in such great numbers as to liter¬ 
ally envelope the bush in June. The dense box-like 
foliage, which is deep green with metallic luster, renders 
it a charming plant at all seasons of the year, and when 
in flower it presents a blaze of bloom. Especially valuable 
for massing and for bordering beds of Rhododendrons, 
Kalmias, etc. (S'ee cut.) Bushy plants, 9 to 12 inches 
high, each, 30c; 15 to 18 inches high, each, 50c. 
HINODEGIRI.—A new variety from Japan, quite like 
A. amoena in foliage and habit, but with large flowers 
that are bright, fiery-red in color. Stocky little plants 
6 inches high, 35c; bushy strong plants, 12 to 18 inches, 
75c each. 
DAPHNE CNEORUM. 
Garland Flower. 
An elegant and refined, dwarf growing shrub. It grows 
but 12 to 18 inches high, has neat, attractive foliage and 
produces many clusters of fragrant, pink Arbutus-like 
flowers in early May. Each 35c. 
Chester Co., Pa., May 11, 1911. 
Received plants in good condition and am much pleased 
with my Hydrangeas; they are much larger than I ex¬ 
pected. (Mrs.) A. Saalbacii. 
BUXUS. Box. 
SEMPERYIRENS.—The well-known Box Tree, with rich, 
deep green, glossy foliage. Very effective in all orna¬ 
mental planting and especially useful in formal garden¬ 
ing. Much used in cemetery work. Handsome, dense 
plants, 12 to 18 inches high, 35c; 1to 2 ft., 60c each.

SEMPERYIRENS AUREIS. Golden-leaved Box. —A new 
form of dense, dwarf, spreading habit. In spring and 
until midsummer its foliage is a vivid, bright golden 
yellow, changing to russet in autumn. Very bushy, 18 
inches, each, $1.50; 24 inches, each, $2.00. 
DWARF OR EDGING BOX. Bee Hedge Plants. 
KALMIA LATIFOLIA. Mountain Eaurel. 
Eike its first cousin. Rhododendron, it retains its foliage 
in unimpaired beauty throughout the year. Its leaves, 
which are broad, smooth and glossy, are exceptionally free 
from insect attack or blemish of any kind. As regards 
hardiness, it may justly be termed “ironclad.” The flow¬ 
ers are borne in large, flat clusters, vary in color from 
pearly white to soft, shell pink and are uniquely and 
exquisitely formed, suggesting, both in bud and when ex¬ 
panded, flowers made of certain delicate, dainty sea shells. 
The flowers appear early in June and continue some weeks. 
Nursery grown plants, 15 to 18 inches, each, 75c. 
LEUCOTHOE CATESBAEI. 
(Andromeda Catesbaei.) 
Among the most elegant and graceful of broad-leaved 
Evergreens. The fleshy, glossy, bright green leaves are 
evenly disposed on long recurved spreading branches, and 
turn to rich bronze in autumn where exposed to the sun. 
The dense racemes of white bell-shaped flowers appear all 
along the branches at the axils of the leaves. Nursery 
grown plants, 12 to IS inches, each, 35c. 
Erie Co., Pa., May 10, 1911. 
The plants, No. 1671, arrived today in O. K. condition; 
am much pleased with them. Expect to have a larger 
place next spring and will send for more plants then. 
Many thanks. (Mrs.) F. R. Oldrey. 
Johnson Co., Iowa, May 17, 1911. 
Order No. 1752 came through in good condition, and I 
have set them out carefully and feel sure they will grow 
and be satisfactory. (Mrs.) Edna B. Wilson.
