Azalea Mollis 
CHINESE AZALEA 
These magnificently colorful Azaleas resemble 
dwarf Rhododendrons. They are deciduous 
shrubs, with splendid foliage, and with masses 
of flowers in all shades of oriental red, yellow 
and orange. They are perfectly hardy and they 
prefer full sunshine for best development. They 
may be planted as garden specimens, or in 
masses for striking landscape effects. Truly 
these are plants of exceptional merit, and they 
add distinction to any garden in which they are 
included. They bloom in May, and ultimately 
attain a height of 4-5 feet and even more in 
favorable locations.

There are just as many kinds of gardeners in 
this world as there are plants. Some people 
“have the green thumb.’ They prefer to start 
from the beginning and to grow their plants 
from babyhood to maturity. Other people 
who have less gardening skill or who 
have but little time to spend in their 
gardens want to plant for immediate 
effect. They are the ones who must have 
the big, fully matured specimens that 
are planted one day and that will flower 
the next ! 
We have an exceptionally fine stock of 
Baby Azaleas of the variety Mollis or 
Chinese Azalea coming along in our 
nursery beds. These plants are of two sizes, 
and we also have some very beautiful small sized 
plants of Box Holly. All of these plants have 
root systems that will produce remarkable top 
growth as soon as they are given their next 
transplanting (see illustrations below). 
We believe that many gardeners who ‘‘have 
the green thumb” will grasp the opportunity of 
buying these small plants now, at the truly 
bargain prices that we are quoting on them. 
Each and every one of these young, sturdy 
plants will develop into a shrub of rare beauty 
and mature size, if they are transplanted properly 
and given reasonably good care, which means a 
leafmold or sub-acid type of soil and plenty water 
These plants are adequately described in 
columns 1 and 3. We recommend them highly. 
They are all balled and burlapped.

Chinese Azalea ist Size 
ROSE DAPHNE (Daphne cneorum) 
This is a well-known dwarf evergreen shrub; 
notable for its clusters of fragrant pink, May- 
flower-like blossoms that completely cover the 
plant in May and June, with often a second 
blooming-season in September. The Rose Daphne 
forms a low mound of glaucous green about 1 foot 
high, spreading to a diameter of 2 or 3 feet at 
maturity; it thrives in sun or partial shade. 
Shapely plants, 9 to 12 inches across, $1.25 each. 
GROUND COVERS FOR 
SHADY PLACES 
Pachysandra terminalis (Pachysandra or 
Spurge). Under trees or in the shade of 
buildings, Pachysandra usually thrives 
when other plants fail. Evergreen leaves 
on 6-inch stems are thrown out from 
creeping roots. Pot-grown plants, 
$2.00 for 10, $16.00 for 100. 
Vinca minor (Myrile). Glossy, dark green 
leaves on creeping, wiry stems that ‘‘root 
in” at intervals, creating a dense mat of 
foliage. $2.00 for 10, $16.00 for 100.

Tiex Crenata Convexa 
BOX HOLLY 
How many people have wished that they 
could add the formality of Box Trees—either as 
specimens or as a hedge—to their garden. Box 
is not reliably hardy here in New England but 
Ilex crenata convexa (Box Holly) is definitely 
hardy and we draw it to your attention with 
the strong recommendation that you now get 
some Box Holly started in your garden with an 
eye to the future. Box Holly has shining green 
foliage with convex leaves 34 inch long by 44 inch 
wide. Can be sheared to any formal shape or 
allowed to grow informally.

ADD HERBS TO YOUR GARDEN 
The growing of Herbs for flavor and fragrance 
has now gone a long way beyond being a vogue. 
A genuine and popular appreciation of Herbs 
has come through actual contact with them. 
People now evaluate them properly. Herbs are 
being planted right in the mixed border for foli- 
age effect and fragrance. Others are of such value 
in the kitchen that they are being planted near 
the back door so as to be handy when a sprig of 
Mint, some Tarragon, or a few Chives are ur- 
gently required for flavoring a cool drink, a 
sauce, or a salad. 
In this catalog we do not have room to list the 
large number of Herbs that we can supply. 
Write us for special information on this subject. 
We do, however, offer a carefully selected and 
specially priced collection of eight fine Herbs 
as follows: 
Chives Marjoram Mint 
Sage Tarragon Thyme 
Lemon Verbena and Winter Savory 
Special Offer 
One plant of each of the above Herbs, 
individually labeled and carefully packed
