Mr. H. P. Gould

Pear Sir; 
The time is here to plant Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurels. For 
the Woodland Slopes, for the Garden Wall and the Shaded Foundation there 
are but few more colorful items and the fragrance of the Azaleas can 
hardly be duplicated, and NOW is the time to plan this planting. 
Van has available for your selection not only the smaller sizes of Azaleas 
Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurels but many of the larger sizes also. 
AZALEAS, many of 4 feet and over v/ith many flower buds. Colors in such wide 
range as to include the rather unusual to date among the Hybrids ever seen. 
Copper, Red, Pink, Orange, Salmon, and many inter-shadings which are most 
difficult to even describe. In addition to this the size of these flowers 
varies considerable and many real large flowers in clusters are found 
among these plants. Hundreds of plants have been labeled, giving the color 
as near as possible with an approximate quality of the flowers, thus en¬ 
abling you to select the color and quality you desire. 
RHODODENDRONS, too, come in many sizes and colors. Each one of these 
plants must be considered as an individual. Some may grow upward and nar¬ 
row while others may dwarf themselves and give great spread. Some have 
dark green and abundant foliage while others may have lighter green foli¬ 
age less abundantly. The Whites are not plentiful, the Pink colors run the 
race with the lighter and darker shadings, and the Reds are always bright. 
Every plant has flowered this year and flower buds show for the next sea¬ 
son. All the plants have wintered unprotected from the start. 
MOUNTAIN LAUREL, one of our finest native evergreen Shrubs, comes only in 
the larger size flowers and almost every plant is of the bright large pink, 
extremely showy with their abundant dark green foliage. There are no finer 
plants available anywhere for group plantings. One should make no compari¬ 
son to any collected native stock. All of Van’s Mountain Laurels are 
raised from Selected Specimen Plants. Grown unprotected in the Nursery 
Row. Plants run from 2 feet to 4 feet in height. 
Prices for this unusual stock are very reasonable. You will find it both 
pleasant and profitable to visit Van’s Nursery which is conveniently lo¬ 
cated on U. S. Highway No. 6, just three miles east of New Bedford. You and 
your friends are cordially welcome.
