Lily-of-the-Valley Shrub 
This is one of the loveliest shrubs in our entire collection, for there is not a season in 
the year when it does not attract attention. The graceful sprays of flower buds are formed 
in the autumn at the time when the foliage assumes glorious red and bronzy tints. But it is 
not until early spring that the buds open into creamy white flowers resembling lilies-of- 
the-valley. This shrub will be a lovely specimen in half shade or full sun. It grows to about 
5 feet. 1 to 114 ft., $3.50. 
LEUCOTHOE Catesbaei © Drooping Leucothoe

white flowers in Jong clusters hang from the base of each leaf like a miniature wistaria. 
Likes acid soil, shade or sun. 1 ft., $1.50 each.
