BROADLEAF EVERGREENS and ACID LOVING SHRUBS, 
such as Azalea, Daphne, Rhododendrons and Holly, grow best in an 
acid soil. This condition can be induced by application of aluminum 
sulphate, one-half to one pound, or sulphate of ammonia, one to three 
pounds, sprinkled evenly over a square yard of surface and spaded in. 
Daphne Cneorum (Garland Flower). Very dwarf shrub, 
with spreading branches covered with 
blue-green leaves. Almost evergreen. Each branch and stem is tipped 
with dense clusters of rose-pink, deliciously fragrant flowers, in. April 
and May, and at intervals during the summer. Hardy but should be 
given a sunny location in northern states. Strong, 4-6 in. shrubs, 60c 
each; 2 for $1.00. 
Or. H.C. Dresselhuys Aybrid Rhododendron 
Rhododendrons have long been considered one of the most striking 
shrubs, but we are now offering the “Aristocrat” of all of them in 
this beautiful Hybrid, Dr. Dresselhuys, which we consider the very 
finest strain of these majestic, broad-leaved evergreens. In May and 
June, every branch has magnificent clusters of handsome, bright red 
owers of enormous size, often 4 to 6 inches across. These are hardy 
and can be successfully grown in the northern climates. This Rhodod- 
endron will solve your problem for shady locations as it will grow and 
do well without much sunlight. Their shapely evergreen foliage of 
healthy green, makes them one of the best evergreen shrubs, for they 
are also beautiful when not in bloom. Each shrub we are offering will 
have one bloom bud, and are guaranteed field-grown. Balled and bur- 
lapped, 12-15 in. shrubs, $2.50 each. We also offer Roseum Superbum 
Hybrid, clear pink flowers, one of the best. 8-10 in. plants, not balled, 
at $1.50 each; 2 for $2.50. 
Americah Folly (Ilex Opaca). An evergreen tree which has been 
acclimated to northern states. A moderate grower 
with spreading, short branches tapering upwards to a narrow head. Broad, oak-like 
shiny evergreen leaves with spiny teeth. Bush is covered with red berries in the fall, 
which remain on the branches nearly all winter. Transplanted, field-grown, 15-18 in. 
There is no other 
Fi rethor fruiting evergreen 
shrub that is so attractive throughout 
the year as this Firethorn. This shrub 
has a compact habit of growth, very at- 
tractive bright green foliage, which 
stays on all winter. It has large trusses 
of white flowers in the summer, fol- 
lowed by brilliant orange-scarlet ber- 
ries, which persist all winter. Hardiest 
of the Firethorns. Strong, 18-24 in. 
shrubs, $1.50 each; 2 for $2.75. 
stock, 90c each; 2 for $1.60.
