ANDROMEDA, PIERIS JAPONICA. _Lily-of-the- 
Valley shrub. A little known, yet very de- 
sirable broadleaf ever-green shrub, that is 
attractive throughout the entire year. The 
Andromeda's Lily-of-the-Valley like flowers 
in early spring give the effect of boxwood 
covered with snow. This is one of the few 
broadleaf evergreens that take on the 
bronze and redleaf colors in the fall. Andro- 
meda prefers an acid soil, so plant with 
acid peat or oak-leaf mold. The soil re- 
quirements and its different foliage make 
it a fitting companion for your azalea and 
Rhododendron plantings. Rarely reaching a 
height of over five (5) feet, it fits very 
nicely in foundation plantings.

PREVENT the serious damage 
that red spiders can do to your ever- 
preens, azaleas, rhododendrons, box- 
wood, etc., by syringing with a 
hose. 
START IN EARLY SPRING and 
repeat every 2 to 3 weeks. Apply 
stream to underside of leaves with 
as much force as the foliage will 
Stand. On heavy infestations re- 
peat every 2 to 3 days for stwa 
weeks, 
This syringing also benefits foli- 
age by keeping it clean of dust and 
other insects.
