TSUGA (Hemlock) 
Used as lawn specimens they attain great size and beauty; 
by shearing they can be used as foundation planting and 
kept from over-growing indefinitely; for borders or 
screens they are perfect backgrounds. Hemlocks thrive in 
shade better than most other evergreens. 
T. canadensis. Canadian Hemlock. Will make maximum 
growth as specimen to 100 feet. Perfectly hardy. 
2 to 8 feet, $8.00 to $30.00 each. 
BROADLEAF EVERGREENS 
These include the hardy Holly, Mountain Laurel, Coton- 
easter, Daphne cneorum and, of course, Rhododendron. 
They are used either in foundation plantings or in the 
flowering shrub border. 
MOUNTAIN ANDROMEDA 
$4.00 to $5.00 each. 
Mountain Andromeda is a dense slow-growing shrub 
reaching a maximum height of about six feet. Slow 
growth and broad, dull green leaves are its great assets, 
not the small white flowers in spring. Grows in shade. 
Pieris floribunda 
AZALEA (The Hardy Mollis) 
Azalea Mollis is a plant of gorgeous variety and beauty; 
it is very hardy; and, contrary to popular belief, it does 
not require an acid soil. All Azalea Mollis wants is a 
respectable soil, an occasional top dressing of well rotted 
cow manure (or dried cow dung); it does not require an 
inordinate amount of water. Mollis does well in shade 
but prefers full sun. Do not cultivate deeply as the fine 
root mass is very close to the surface. 
To get blooms in profusion year after year pick off 
the pods before seeds mature. If planted where tempera- 
tures go below 10 degrees minus, tops should be covered 
to prevent buds from blasting. We are sorry, but we are 
behind on deliveries with some of the named varieties. 
We suggest, though, that you order now for future de- 
livery. (These shipping plants are 15 to 18 inches high. 
Larger plants available at The Farm.)

first season. 
Mixed Varieties 
AZALEA PONTICA 
(Hardy Ghent Azaleas) 
These are even hardier than Azalea Mollis but their 
blooming time, soil requirements and general habit of 
growth are the same. Their special merit, besides ex- 
treme hardiness, is the unusual range of colors in the 
group. While the flowers are not as large as Mollis, they 
have equal brilliance and to many fanciers their varia- 
tions of tint are more spectacular. Plants offered are 14 
to 18 inches high with flowering buds. 
Bouquet de Flore Each $3.00, Three $7.75 
Brilliant clusters of deep pink. 
Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Almost white with traces of pink. 
Daviesi 
Nancy Waterer Each $3.00, Three $7.75 
Clusters of golden yellow. 
Sang de Gentbrugge Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
The most vivid and brilliant red you ever saw. 
ILEX (Holly) 
There is only one hardy Holly, Convexa, and it is as 
hardy as an oak. It is a choice evergreen with shiny 
boxwood-like leaves so thick the branches don’t show. 
(It does not have the conventional Christmas Holly leaf 
or red berries—that Holly is not hardy.) Convexa is a 
very bushy plant—it grows 4 feet high and about 3 feet 
across. It can’t be beat as an accent plant and it is ideal 
for small evergreen hedges. Each plant is shipped with 
a small ball of earth. 
12 to 15 inches Convexa Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
HYBRID RHODODENDRONS 
These hybrids do not require shade, they do just as well 
in full sun. They do, however, require an acid soil— load 
it heavily with peat moss and leaf mold. When ordering 
these named hybrids, please specify color wanted—they 
come in shades of deep rose-pink, soft rosy lilac, crimson, 
white, lavender, bright red. Plant them in banks and 
either mix colors or keep three of a shade together. 
Named Hybrids, 12-15 inches $4.00 
(Larger specimens at The Sales Center.)
