PIERIS japonica. Japanese Andromeda; 
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 m 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 liltes-of-the-valley. This 
shrub will be a lovely specimen in half shade 
or full sun. It grows to about 5 feet. 12 to 15 
in., $3.75 each.
