EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
I am constantly adding to my supply of broad-leaved evergreens and am endeav¬ 
oring to have a complete assortment of the very best native evergreen shrubs. Listed 
under this heading you will find some of the choicest varieties. Evergreen shrubs are 
adapted for general use in plantings about the Iiouse. Their extensive use, however, 
lies in naturalistic development, sucli as woodland plantings, where they can be used 
with finest effects along trails and roadways. 
ANDROMEDA (Pieris) 
floribunda (Lily-of-tho-Vallcy Shrub). An 
evergreen shrub of compact growth, 
having white flowers borne in dense 
racemes in early spring. It grows natur¬ 
ally in the mountains from Virginia to 
Georgia, clothing the slopes with dark 
green foliage. Valuable for planting in 
the foreground of rhododendron beds. 
The stock is heavily budded and lifts 
with fine balls of earth. r.ach 10
