VAN Has The Answer 
^HE answer to the planting of difficult places 
such as the Woodland Slope, the Garden Wall 
and the Shaded Foundation is Azaleas, Rhododen¬ 
drons and Mountain Laurels. Few other plants 
will give you the permanent effects, the great vari¬ 
ety of color and even fragrance can be secured 
with the planting of Azaleas, Rhododendrons and 
Mountain Laurels. 
Our Azaleas (Cape Cod Grown) are hardy, the 
size of flowers and the various colors are outstand¬ 
ing. The glowing colors and the fragrance typ¬ 
ical of Azaleas is unsurpassed in the early Sum¬ 
mer months and surely the Woodland Slope could 
not be planted more permanently than with these 
Azaleas. 
The Rhododendrons with their large leathery foli¬ 
age and extremely large clusters of flowers do add 
character to any planting. Planted on west and 
north exposures these plants will be perfectly hardy 
with our average v/inters. Many will flower the 
first season after planting. Our stock does in¬ 
clude many unusual colors, the size of flowers 
is greater and some plants ore fragrant since this 
stock has been crossed with the very large flower¬ 
ing and fragrant Rhododendron Fortuni. 
About all our Mountain Laurel are the large 
flowering pink type. Beautiful large glossy foli¬ 
age raised from selected stock is perfectly hardy. 
This stock has been grown unprotected in the 
nursery row, the least I can say is that this is the 
finest stock I have ever seen.
