HOLLY (Ilex) 
American (Opaca). Virginia’s most beautiful 
Broad-leaved Evergreen. Not only noted 
for its glossy, dark green, prickly foliage, 
but masses of bright red berries, which are 
so useful and popular at Christmas time, 
fully justify the planting of Holly. To in- 
sure fruiting, we recommend planting two 
or more trees, one of which to be a male 
non-fruiting tree for cross pollination. The 
American Holly can be kept sheared and 
used as a hedge or as specimens. If left 
to grow naturally, will make trees often 
25 to a ft. in height. See color illustration 
page 2 
Pech (Aquifolium). Beautiful Broad- 
leaved Evergreen, but not as hardy as our 
native American variety and is a much 
slower grower. Red _ berries. 
Japanese (Crenata). Dwarf, compact shrub- 
like tree with small, dark green leaves 
which are unchanged throughout the Win- 
ter. Black berries. Used as a specimen 
plant, in formal gardens, in foundation 
plantings, or hedges. 6-8 ft. 
Yaupon (Vomitoria). Resembles the Jap- 
anese Holly, but is a stronger grower and 
has scarlet-red berries. Not recommended 
for planting farther north than Virginia. 
HYPERICUM 
Moserianum. New, dwarf, Evergreen Hy- 
pericum. Sometimes freezes back in severe 
Winters, but comes from the roots like a 
perennial and blooms the same season. 
Large yellow blossoms all Summer. 18-24 in. 
LIGUSTRUM (Privet) 
Japonicum. Resembles the Ligustrum luci- 
dum, but is a more vigorous, upright grower. 
Suitable as a background for lower growing 
Broad-leaved Evergreens. 
Lucidum. Dark green, glossy foliage. White 
flowers in June, followed by masses of blue- 
black berries, which remain on well into 
the Winter. This is one of the most useful 
Broad-leaved Evergreens for Virginia and 
States farther south, being excellent for 
for foundation and group plantings. 4-5 ft. 
LONICERA 
Nitida. Small-leaved, compact, low-growing 
Evergreen. Used where a hardy, dwarf, 
Boxwood-shaped Evergreen is required. 
Not altogether hardy in the higher altitudes 
of Virginia and points farther north. 3-4 ft. 
MAGNOLIA 
Glauca (Sweet Bay). A _ beautiful, small 
shrubby tree, thriving in any good soil or 
situation and useful for positions too damp 
for many trees. The rich, glossy green foli-

like flowers are highly fragrant. 
Grandiflora (Southern Magnolia). The 
Evergreen Magnolia of the South, with 
large, glossy green leaves. Beautiful waxy 
white flowers are borne in the early Summer 
and followed by large cones full of red seed 
in the Fall. It is one of the best Southern 
Ornamental Trees. Hardy throughout Vir- 
ginia and as far north as Baltimore. 30-40 ft. 
MAHONIA (Hollygrape) 
Aquifolium (Oregon Hollygrave). A small 
attractive shrub with shiny, dark green

when young and through the Winter, dark 
green through Summer. Clusters of red ber- 
ries appear in Autumn and remain well into 
the Winter. 3-4 ft. See color illustration 
this page. 
PHOTINIA 
Serrulata. Another Broad-leaved Evergreen 
which is especially interesting and useful 
because of its change in color from a deep 
green in Summer to a crimson-bronze in 
the Winter, when showy masses of red ber- 
ries also appear. It reaches an ultimate 
height of 8-10 ft., but may be kept trimmed. 
The flowers are white and appear early in 
the Spring.

hardy Pyracanthas. 8-10 ft. 
Rogersi. A new, hardy Firethorn. Glossy 
dark green foliage, beautiful orange-colored 
berries which remain on until well into the 
Winter. The shrub is more compact and 
ornamental than other varieties of Pyra- 
cantha. 6-8 ft. See color illustration, 
page 28. 
Yunnanensis. Very similar to the Lalandi, 
but a better grower; larger, more glossy foli- 
age. Produces great masses of red _ berries. 
Truly a beautiful berried plant. 6-8 ft. 
See color illustration this page. 
RHODODENDRON 
Unquestionably the most 
blooming Broad-leaved Evergreen. The broad, 
leathery foliage alone is worth the effort, 
while the huge, gorgeous flowers add indescrib- 
able beauty and color. Rhododendrons give 
best results in partial shade. Use Rho-Za-Grow.

Rhytidophyllum (Leatherleaf Viburnum), 
In the whole group of Broad-leaved Ever-

dark green foliage. It is hardy, withstands 
exposure, and is exceptionally desirable for 
city planting. Clusters of yellowish white

HODODEN DRONS & A 
The New Soil Conditioner and Plant Food, 
‘“*Rho-Za-Grow’’ has taken the guesswork 
out of Rhododendron growing. 
Rhododendrons and their kindred broad- 
leaved evergreens, the Azaleas, Kalmias, Hol- 
lies, ete., are lovely things, but many planters 
hesitate to plant these aristocratic American 
shrubs because of their exacting soil require- 
ments. 
‘“*Rho-Za-Grow’’ is a scientifically bal- 
anced soil conditioner and plant food. Use it 
on all plants requiring sour soils. ‘‘Rho-Za- 
Grow’”’ contains exactly the proper balance 
of acids, neutral plant food, and humus. It 
sours and lightens the soil, and it has high 
plant food content. Apply it to your Rhodo- 
dendron and Azalea beds, and they will show 
their appreciation with a wealth of gorgeous 
blooms and healthy, deep green foliage.

The Pyracanthas are noted for their orange and red berries.
