MAN A 
The five flowering evergreen shrubs on these two pages are shipped 
from the mountains of North Carolina. No one familiar with the 
cold winters there will be surprised at the hardiness indicated 
in the descriptions on the next page. They are dug from natural 
growth in the open (not in woods) hence will succeed in normal 
garden conditions. Great care in digging, handling and packing 
has resulted in outstanding success in our customers’ gardens:—as 
good or better results than from plants cultivated in open nursery 
rows for these particular kinds. In fact, at no time do these obtain 
any advantage from cultivation. Never fertilize, nor cultivate. 
bushy $10 specimens. 
Plant in acid peaty soil, mulch with dead leaves, prune as you 
may wish, then leave them alone. In other words, naturalize them 
for best results—unlike most garden plants.

These, totally unlike the garden 
azaleas offered on page 18, 
must not be cultivated. A wood- 
sy site, with lots of leaf-mold, 
and half shade is ideal. A piece 
of natural woodland is often 
suitable.
