latifolia. Mountain Laurel. One of the grandest of our nativo, 
broad-leaved evergreen shrubs, attaining tree-like proportions in our 
southern mountains. In cultivation it is a broad, thick shrub, and 
when in full bloom, of surpassing beauty. The wheel-shaped flowers 
jn close terminal corymbs, pure white to pink, appear in May or Juno 
in such profusion as almost to smother the foliage. Its thick, shin¬ 
ing leaves, conspicuous the year round, make it a shrub of greatest 
value for massing. The hardiness of Kalmia latifolia is beyond 
doubt, it being found sparingly in Nova Scotia and increasingly in 
abundance through New England and the Middle Atlantic States 
(particularly in the higher altitudes), till the crest of the Southern 
Alleghenies is reached. Here, the truo American home of the broad- 
leaved ericaccoi, perfect conditions of soil and climate uro found, 
producing such a luxuriance of growth as to form veritable jungles 
of gorgeous beauty, miles in extent. It is found throughout South 
Carolina, Georgia and Northern Florida, along the banks of streams 
and cypress swamps. This proves it to be a plant that will stand 
almost semi-tropical conditions as well as extreme cold. It is 
therefore extremely valuable for the Southern States, taking its 
place with the magnificent Indian Azaleas, which arc not hardy in 
the North. Per 10 100 1,000

in the fall where exposed to the sun. Over 40,000 plants in our
