74 Evergreen Shrubs, Vines and Plants 
The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
Evergreen Shrubs 
and Evergreen Vines and Plants 
This group contains some of the most notable shrubs, dis¬ 
tinguished not only by their evergreen foliage, but because of 
their highly prized flowers; very useful in foundation plant¬ 
ing, for filling in beds of evergreens and for lawn specimens. 
They are sensitive to lime, and require acidity. For protection 
of roots, most Evergreens are dug carefully with a ball of the 
attached soil, sewed up in a stout burlap bag. This treatment 
is denoted E. B. (Earth Balled). In other cases, the soil.is re¬ 
placed by wet moss ; in which case the notation reads M. B. 
(Moss Balled). Prices are for shipment by express or freight, 
charges collect, unless specifically otherwise noted. Because of 
extra weight, we recommend shipment of E. B. items by 
freight, to save expense. 
AZALEA calendulacea (Flame Azales). One of the most 
attractive flowering shrubs, of medium growth. A very pro¬ 
fuse bloomer; the flowers being light orange to bright red, 
appearing before the leaves and remaining several weeks.

flowers. 12 to 15 inch, E. B., $2.00 each.

KAIiMIA latifolia (Mountain Laurel). Second only to Rho¬ 
dodendrons among broad-leaved evergreens. Its quaintly 
formed, rosy white buds and flowers cluster in great trusses 
during July, and contrast finely with the shining, dark 
leaves. Even small plants are gay with them. Most impres¬ 
sive in masses. 
iy 2 to 2 feet, E. B., $2.75 each. 
LEUOOTHOE Catesbaei (Andromeda). A beautiful shrub, 
both for blossom and foliage. The leaves, bright green in 
summer and purplish red in the fall and winter, are evenly 
disposed on gracefully drooping branches, from which are 
pendent many densely packed racemes of bell-shaped, creamy 
white flowers in early May. The colorful foliage is much 
desired for winter house decoration. E. B. 
1 y 2 to 2 feet, $2.50 each.

OXYDENDRUM arboreum (Sourwood). A small tree with 
spreading slender branches. Leaves bright green, in autumn 
dazzling tones of scarlet. Flowers pure white in racemes 
resembling Lily-of-the-Valley. 2 to 3 ft. Bare roots, 90c each. 
RHODODENDRON 
Its leathery leaves provide wonderfully rich backgrounds of 
dark green amid the floral distractions of summer, and inject 
a lively reminiscence of the season past, in winter landscapes. 
Although most effective and cared-for when planted in masses, 
smaller groups and units are invaluable for shaded nooks 
about the house or lawn. They will grow in any good soil, but 
are finest in a sun-and-wind sheltered situation, where the 
soil is deep, well drained and mulched with leaves. In hot, 
dry weather soak the ground—say about once a week. A pro¬ 
tection of leaves and brush during winter is beneficial, and 
an acid soil condition must be maintained. 
Hybrids. Derived from the choice named varieties from 
Europe. From this source come those large flowered types 
resplendent in vivid, distinct colors. We offer Carmine, 
Cherry, Lavender, or Pink. 15 to 18 in., E.B., $3.50 each. 
Carolinianum. Leaves rather small, narrow, dark green 
above, covered with brownish dots beneath ; clusters of clear 
rose-pink flowers in May ; very hardy. 
1 y 2 to 2 feet, Ei. B., $3.50 each.

shining green leaves, glaucous beneath, in terminal clusters.

of lavender and purple, appearing early in June.

Maximum. Foliage very large and smooth, its July flowers 
in shades of rosy blush and white. Very attractive for 
natural effects along shaded wa*lks and drives, and best for 
massing. 2 to 3 feet, E. B., $3.25 each.
