BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS 
Lancaster, Pa. 
Rhododendrons For Shady Place Plantings 
The Rhododendron is a very effective plant used R 
in masses or groups or near dark foliaged evergreens. 
It is excellent for the difficult shaded corner or on 
the north side of the house. It fills a need not sup¬ 
plied by any other plant. Its appealing beauty is 
not only its magnificent florescence but the thick, 
smooth, glossy leaves borne the year ’round.

I just wish you could see the setting of Ever¬ 
greens you planted. It looks wonderful. 1 don’t 
think you could buy same for $1,000. I am a good 
booster for Barr’s Nurseries.

Only the Strongest and Most Vigorous Plants Supplied 
Regular root-pruning and transplanting as practised in our nurseries has the happy ef¬ 
fect of eliminating any weak plants so that only the stronger and more robust survive to be¬ 
come saleable. 
It is not only the highest degree of vitality that we seek in producing “Will Grow” plants, 
hut the fullest measure of beauty as well. This is secured by judicious and timelv shearing 
or pruning, which gives a completely filled out form. Haphazard growth is curtailed and the 
tendency of the plant controlled so that it will be straight, well-branched, nicely shaped and 
have a strongly-developed root system. 
This effective beauty and stronger roots of all ill Grow” plants is the better obtained 
by their having been nurtured in the rich soil of Lancaster County,—the Garden Spot of 
America. 
In Borders, In Groups, In Shady Foundation Plantings Rhododendrons Are Most Useful
