Although flowering plants contribute greatly to the interest of any garden, there 
is also the pleasing effect to be accomplished by using plants with enduring foliage 
and shrubs that produce fruits. These are to be found in the Broad-Leaved Evergreens, 
which thrive in sun or partial shade and are the most suitable for city gardens, founda- 
tion planting 
s, roof gardens, etc.

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 in late summer and 
later the foliage assumes glorious red and 
bronzy tints. In early spring the buds open 
into creamy white flowers resembling lilies-of- 
the-valley. This shrub will develop into a 
lovely specimen if planted in half shade or full 
sun. It grows to about 5 feet. 9 to 12 imn., 
$3.25 each; 3 for $9.00. 
ILEX crenata convexa (bullata). Boxleaf 
Holly. An outstanding companion for growing 
with rhododendrons, azaleas, etc., in founda- 
tion plantings. The beautiful glossy leaves are 
almost round in form. Grows to 2 feet. Will 
stand shearing. 12 to 15 in., $3.25 each; 
3 for $9.00. 
I. crenata Fortunei. Excellent hardy Holly, 
faster growing than other listed varieties. It 
has large shiny foliage and a distinct upright 
habit. Grows into a fine accent plant for foun- 
dation plantings. 1 to 1% ft., $3.25 each; 
3 for $9.00. 
B. & A. Pot-Grown Magnolias Transplant Readily aan. 
VOID those spring “I wish I had’s’”—make Magnolias a “garden must”’ for spring oe 
1952. The purchase of B. & A. pot-grown Magnolia varieties in sizes that readily «<a> 
become established cannot fail to give enjoyment now, as well as later, when 
they have reached a mature size of 5 to 6 feet. © 
Magnolias thrive in somewhat rich, moderately moist but porous soil, and should 
be planted in a sunny area to do their best. 
Conspicua. Yulan Magnolia. The very large, 
creamy white, sweet-scented flowers, 6 inches 
across, appear in April. A small tree with 
spreading branches. 
Soulangeana. Saucer Magnolia. The very 
popular variety found in northern gardens, 
which develops into a small tree. Its extra- 
large, pink-white, tulip-shaped flowers are 
tinted purple at the edges. 
Soulangeana Brozzoni. This variety differs 
from Soulangeana in that its tulip flower is 
whiter in effect and does not have the pinkish 
coloring of its parent, but maintains the purple 
or reddish edging. 
Soulangeana Lennei. Probably one of the most 
sought after, as its medium-large, tulip-shaped 
flower is crimson on the outside and white 
within, providing a beautiful contrast as the 
flower unfolds. Matures into an open bush. 
Soulangeana Nigra. Purple Lily Magnolia. 
This undoubtedly is the darkest of all the 
Magnolias hardy in the North. Its flowers are 
dark purple, providing a contrasting color not 
often found in spring-flowermg trees. It ma- 
tures into an attractive large bush-like form. 
All above Magnolias: $3.50 each; 
any two varieties for $6.50 
PIERIS JAPONICA 
Ilex crenata rotundifolia. Roundleaf Holly. 
Shiny dark round leaves, retaining good color 
all year; black berries. In foundation plant- 
ings, hedges, or as specimens, it makes a fine 
showing. 1 to 11% ft., $3.25 each; 3 for $9.00. 
BERBERIS 
Julianz. Wintergreen Barberry. Yellow 
flowers and purple fruit. Strong, upright, 
hardy; makes a splendid hedge and in founda- 
tion planting is at home with rhododendrons 
and Jaurels. 1 to 1% ft., $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
Suffruticosa. True Dwarf Box. A dwarf, 
compact-growing variety that retains its tuft- 
like habit for many years. One of the finest 
plants we know of for edging. 4 to 6 in., 10 for 
$4.85; 25 for $11.75; 100 for $45.00. 
BUXUS 
Sempervirens. Common Boxwood. Fine 
as a quick-growing border or low hedge, and 
so popular as to need no description. 12 to 
15 in., 10 for $9.50; 25 for $21.85. 
SOULANGEANA. 
$3.50 each 
MAGNOLIA CORDATA 
This outstanding Magnolia yields lemon-yellow flowers. An exceedingly rare and beautiful 
tree when fully established. The delightful fragrance of the lovely blooms, which measure 
almost 4 inches, perfumes the garden air in April and May. As these plants are too large for 
potting, we offer only strong, freld-grown plants, which must be shipped balled and burlapped. 
$5.00 each.
