Kalmia. American or Mountain Laurel. 
Kalinia latifolia. Calico Bush. One of the most beau¬ 
tiful native broad-leaved evergreen shrubs, sometimes 
attaining the size of a small tree in the upper sec¬ 
tions. When under cultivation it is a broad and com¬ 
pact growing shrub. Its thick, waxy, bright, dark- 
green leaves give at all times a striking effect, but the 
plant is at its best when its pink and white geo¬ 
metrically-shaped flowers appear and expand into 
beautiful white and pink colored flower cups. The 
blooms appear in early April and last for several 
weeks. The Kalmia is hardy from New Brunswick to 
northern Florida. Will succeed in almost any soil, 
but will give the best results when planted in a rich, 
loamy soil containing an abundance of leaf mold. Tho 
plants should be kept well mulched.
