Ligustrum japoniea and formerly known as

evergreen. Useful where a hardy, dwarf 
Boxwood-shaped evergreen is required. 3 to

tree, thriving in any good soil or situation, 
and useful for positions too damp for many 
trees. The rich, glossy green foliage is glau¬ 
cous beneath, giving the whole a silvery 
sheen. The cream white, waxlike flowers are 
highly fragrant and the seed pods which 
follow open to show brilliant coral seeds. 
Used in masses with evergreens, in the shrub 
border, as hedges or for specimens, it gives 
added pleasure to any planting.

The evergreen Magnolia of the South with 
large, glossy green leaves. Beautiful waxy 
white flowers are borne in the early Summer

an ultimate height of 8 to 10 ft., but may be 
kept trimmed. The flowers are white and

SAVE YOUR 
EVERGREENS 
Dogs annually destroy thousands 
of dollars worth of fine evergreens 
and usually the evergreens around 
your home represent the most ex¬ 
pensive plantings. There is, how¬ 
ever, a way to protect your ever¬ 
greens—inexpensive, effective, safe, 
harmless, and easy to use. Spray 
Dogzoff on your evergreens and 
guard them completely against the 
depredations of dogs. There is 
nothing offensive to humans about 
Dogzoff, nor will it injure any 
living thing. Sprayed directly on 
the evergreens Dogzoff repels the 
dogs without any harm to the dogs, 
or the trees and shrubs themselves. 
As a matter of fact, repeated tests 
have shown that Dogzoff rids plants 
of many harmful insects. 
RHODODENDRON 
. Unquestionably the most magnificent bloom¬ 
ing Broad-Leaf Evergreen. The broad, leathery 
foliage alone is worth the effort, while the huge, 
gorgeous flowers add indescribable beauty and 
color. Use Rho-Za-Grow. 
The beautiful red-berried shrub in the foun¬ 
dation planting illustrated above is Pyracantha 
yunnanensis, which is useful not only in foun¬ 
dation plantings, but as specimens, and in shrub¬ 
bery borders, as well as almost any location 
where a berried plant can be used.

Native Rhododendron

successfully grown in various soils and 
climates. See color illustration this page. 
The New Soil Conditioner and Plant Food, 
“Rho-Za-Grow” has taken the guess work 
out of Rhododendron growing. 
Rhododendrons and their kindred broad- 
leaved evergreens, the Azaleas, Kalmias, Hol¬ 
lies, etc., are lovely things, but many planters 
hesitate to plant these aristocratic American 
shrubs because of their exacting soil require-
