PLANTS OF SPECIAL MERIT FOR 
EVERGREEN LANDSCAPE EFFECT. 
Following our suggestions on the former pages we here submit 
a few plants of extraordinary merit, especially where evergreen effects 
are desired, not only for producing solid masses, but also as a sub¬ 
stitute for grass, that is, low plants which flourish well under trying 
conditions where grass will not grow, forming an evergreen carpet 
supplemented in the spring and summer months with solid masses of 
flowers. 
RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM. 
For large massing where a broad, bold foliage effect is desired this 
shrub has no superior. Its perfect hardiness in any climate and under 
any conditions, thriving well in the full sun as well as in the densest 
shade underneath trees,- evergreen, or deciduous, coupled with its 
comparatively low cost, being obtainable in large sizes from three 
to six feet in height and diameter, gives an opportunity to pro¬ 
duce at the planting an immediate effect which otherwise would 
take years to accomplish with small-sized plants. Our stock of this 
plant is admitted to be the best in the country, growing isolated in the 
full sun. The plants are very bushy, well set in bud, and lift with 
a fine mass of roots, and, being handled by experienced men in lifting 
and packing, always insure good results. We would be pleased to 
quote prices in any quantity or size of plants. Special price of assorted 
sizes in carload lots. Single plants, 50c. to $5.00 each. 
KALMIA LATI FOLIA. 
Another garden plant, for similar purposes as the Rhododendrons, 
with smaller foliage and having large clusters of showy flowers vary¬ 
ing from pure white to deep rose color, lasting a long time in perfec¬ 
tion. Our stock of this consists of fine shaped bushy plants, from one 
to five feet in height and diameter, which we would be pleased to 
supply from 50c. to $5.00 each. Special price in carload lots.
