Gr0ad-leaved uergreens— Seautiful 
Many offer a double and triple attraction by flowering and fruiting, the berries 
remaining on well into winter. : 
Dwarf types—such as Azaleas, Boxwood, Hollies, Ligustrums, Abelia, and 
Rhododendrons—are frequently used in foundation plantings, borders, hedges and 
as specimens, while the larger growing ones are planted as specimens and in 
groups. 
Broad-leaved Evergreens are transplanted dug with ball of earth with excep-

AZALEAS 
The Pride of the Spring Garden 
Starting to blossom in early March in the Deep South, continuing the season 
until June in the southern part of the New England States. The varieties we offer 
have been selected not only for color and abundance of bloom, but for hardiness 
and general adaptability to outdoor culture in the area we serve. 2 
In response to increased demand for Broad-leaved Evergreens, production has 
been stepped up in better Azaleas and New Hybrid Rhododendrons in our branch 
nursery, Azalea Gardens, Route 151, between Amherst and Afton, Virginia. Azaleas 
and Rhododendrons have been used generously in landscaping the grounds sur- 
rounding Boxwood Garden Shop, where blooming size plants may be picked up 
at any season and carried home in your car. 
Culture: Until it became generally known that Azaleas require an acid soil, an 
abundance of humus and a uniform moisture supply, they were considered diffi- 
cult to grow, but with proper culture, it is now possible to have beautiful Azaleas 
in almost any soil. Rho-Za-Grow supplies not only acidity, but necessary plant 
food. Uniform moisture and humus may be retained with a mulch of Peat Moss or 
even decomposed sawdust.
