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- 
greens, 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 two 
weeks. 
This syringing also benefits foli- 
age by keeping it clean of dust and 
other insects.
