dant one-sided racemes of white Howers. 
AZATjKA Am<»'iia. (Lovely Azalea.) A neat, low 
shrub, becoming 3 feet high. The foliage is small, 
dark green, turning to bronze brown in winter. In 
early May it is a mass of dark red flowers. An 
excellent shrub to accompany Rhododendrons.

and velvety surface. 
Tree. This ultimately becomes 10 feet high. It is 
well adapted to growing in 
shady situations. Our stock 
is clipped to a broad, conical 
form, and makes good garden 
hedges, specimens to group 
with other evergreens, or to 
plant next to the foundations 
of a house. Planted in the 
Columbian flower tubs, the 
neat design of which corre¬ 
sponds with architectural 
structures, they are adapted 
to the formal garden, terrace, 
and piazza. 
Varb'satod. A yellow and 
green variety. 
Dwarf. I'sed for edging of 
garden paths. 
Gobleu Dwarl'. A pretty yel¬ 
low ball. 
HOLIjV, Aiueri< an. A beau¬ 
tiful, conical evergreen; the 
leaves are thick, tough and 
very glossy, scalloped, and 
armed with spines, among 
which appear the ornamental 
red berries in winter. Remov¬ 
ing the leaves when trans¬ 
planting, and planting in 
deep, cool soil, and rather a 
shady place, will greatly de¬ 
crease the dilhcultffes of its 
culture, which have prevented 
this most beautiful of our 
native evergreens from being 
widely used. 
IjAIIUKIj. A beautiful native 
evergreen shrub, with shining 
foliage and dense clusters of 
pink or nearly white flowers 
in spring. Requires the same 
treatment as the Rhododen¬ 
dron, and' is of especial ele¬ 
gance and beauty. 
IIHODODENDUOX. The 
broad, evergreen foliage, with 
its glossy richness, would 
alone entitle it to first rank, 
but when this is crowded, in 
June, with many clusters of 
flowers,; each cluster large 
RHODODENDRON, conliiiucii. 
enough for a bouquet, and each variety having its 
own color—white, blue, purple, delicate shell, 
cherry, lilac, mauve, and crimson- the term superb 
fitly describes its appearance. They will grow 
in any good soil but prefer a shady situation, 
where the soil, is deep and well drained, but not 
dry. We keep the hardiest named varieties. 
Plants with flower-buds, $1.50.

colored flowers. 75 cts.
