6 SHERWOOD NURSERY CO., Portland, Oregon 
Sherwood Red Azalea 
A magnificent azalea. Compact, dwarf and evergreen. Foliage so glossy it shines, 
bright green turning in cold weather to fiery red. Better foliage than Azalea 
hinodegiri from which it was hybridized. Flowers in such abundance that the 
foliage is almost entirely hidden and of the most brilliant blood red imaginable, 
brighter by far than Azalea hinodegiri. For several years those who knew we 
owned this azalea have begged for it but this is only the second year we have put 
it on the market. Hardy where Azalea hinodegiri is hardy. Words utterly fail to 
describe Sherwood Red Azalea. We consider Sherwood Red Azalea the finest azalea 
ever offered the nursery trade. It has everything: hardiness, clean habit of growth, 
easy culture, splendid foliage and almost unbelievable showiness of inflorescence.

Calluna vulgaris nana (Moss Heather) 
A dainty little dwarf of moss like appearance growing about 4 inches tall. It is 
of exceeding close, compact growth with refreshing green foliage and delicate 
lavender blossoms in mid summer. On account of its mossy luster it fits perfectly 
into rockeries, stream and pool borders, close-proximity to fountains, garden 
steps and walks and into most situations where neatness and delicacy are sought. 
One of the loveliest evergreens it is our privilege to grow. Rare and very hardy.

Castanopsis sempervirens (Bush Chinquapin) 
One of Oregon’s wonderful native evergreens seldom offered to the trade, Un- 
like the tall growing form, Bush Chinquapin usually grows only 5 to 6 feet high 
in a spreading, much branched shrub. A plant 4 feet high will usually spread 4 
to six feet. A stout medium sized evergreen of surpassing merit. It grows in its 
native state at 2000 to 4000 feet elevation but is at home at 3ea level. In our 
mountains it sometimes covers dry open slopes where only the hardiest plants can 
survive the summer’s heat and winter’s cold. Is also found in open woods with 
partial shade. Foliage very dense. Leaves dark green above, russet beneath. 
Flowers in white clusters followed by chestnut like fruits. Bush Chinquapin is 
a fine foundation shrub, also good for hedges and borders. It is unexcelled for 
large banks and terraces. A fine addition to the trade.
