RHODODENDRON HYBRIDS 
Rhododendron hybrids planted in groups along 
the driveway add a wealth of color in June. With 
their rounded form and striking foliage they help 
to define the drive gracefully. 
JAPANESE ANDROMEDA 
Pieris japonica 
The billowy outline of the Japanese 
Andromeda is unique with its whorls 
of leathery dark green foliage. In May 
the pendulous clusters of flower-buds, 
picturesquely pink in Winter, unfold 
as cascades of white bells.

BROAD-LEAVED 
EVERGREENS 
HIS group is highly prized not 
only for its interesting flowers 
but also for the permanence of its 
foliage which persists throughout 
the Winter. These are the “all- 
purpose” shrubs that can be used in 
groups on lawns, at the margins of 
your woodland, naturalized above 
the banks of streams, in foundation 
plantings in intimate relation to 
your house, as accents in your gar- 
den, and at your entrance drive. 
This group includes many shade- 
tolerant types which thrive in acid 
soil, where many other plants do 
not adapt themselves.
