Evergreen Ground Covers 
Brainard’s 
EVERGREEN SHRUBS AND 
GROUND COVERS 
The dark green, glossy foliage of the Broad-leaved Evergreens, always attractive, is of a fascinating 
beauty hard to describe. When fittingly placed in a foundation planting, in nooks in the rock garden or 
in massed effects where locations and conditions permit, they are really an indispensable class of plants. 
Daphne Cneorum (Garland Flower) 
One of the best of the early flowering, dwarf, 
bushy, Evergreen plants. The dense clusters of rose- 
pink flowers, appearing in May and occasionally 
throughout the season, are almost as deliciously 
fragrant as the Arbutus. Retains its foliage through 
the winter. Does well in partial shade but is at its 
best in full sunlight. 2 and 3 yr. plants, 6 to 8 in. 
40c each, 8 to 10 in. 65c each, extra selected 
plants $1.00 each. 
Ilex 
Glabra (Inkberry). An upright, much branched 
shrub, growing 2 to 3 ft. high, with dark green 
oval foliage and a profusion of black fruits in the 
fall. 15 to 18 in. $2.00 each; 1 8 to 24 in. $2.50 
each. 
Kalmia 
Latifolia (Mountain Laurel). The masses of white 
or blush colored flowers literally cover the plant 
in June, and after flowering the foliage is very 
attractive. Does equally well in sun or shade. 
15 to 18 in. $1.75 each, $16.00 for 10; 18 to 
24 in. $2.50 each, $23.50 for 10. 
Rhododendron 
Catawbiense (Catawba Rhododendron). This is a 
native of this country and, therefore, perfectly 
hardy. The bright lilac-purple flowers are borne 
in large clusters the latter part of May. 1 5 to 1 8 
in. $1.75 each, $16.00 for 10; 18 to 24 in. 
$3.00 each, $28.50 for 10; 2 to 2’/ 2 ft. $3.50 
each, $33.00 for 1 0. 
Hybrid Varieties. The named Hybrid varieties of 
Rhododendrons are undoubtedly the showiest ot 
the broad-leaved evergreens; symmetrical plants, 
lustrous green foliage and flowers in gorgeous 
colors. Nice plants, well budded, $4.50 and 
$6.00 each.
