BROAD LEAVED EVERGREENS 
We have a few acres of our nursery devoted to broad- 
leaved evergreens and azaleas. Our broad-leaved ever- 
greens are grown in full sun so that they will not lose 
their leaves when transplanted to your hows: Plants 
from the South or those grown under shade often lose 
most of their foliage when set in sunny locations. This 
~ trouble can be avoided by securing our hardy Vermont- 
grown plants. These are acid-loving plants, and always 
dug with a ball of earth. These prices are “at the 
nursery” prices; crating and shipping is charged at cost. 
Garland Flower (Daphne cneorum). The pink arbutus- 
like flowers with their clove-pink fragrance are known 
to nearly everyone. Flowers in May and June. Pre- 
fers full sun and well-drained soil. 9 to 12-in. $2.50. 
Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia). .Fine bushy 
pine of this evergreen shrub enhance the beauty of 
ew England and the Appalachian region in late 
spring and early summer. 12 to 18-in. $3.50; 18 to 
24-in. $4.50; 2 to 214-ft. $5.50; 2% to 3-ft. $6.50. 
Drooping Leucothoe (Leucothoe catesbaei). Although 
the profusion of white bell-shaped flowers borne on 
arching stalks in spring and the rich bronzy foliage 
throughout the autumn and winter make this a 
decidedly attractive plant, yet it does have a tend- 
ency to spring-burning here in,the North. Planting 
in the shade usually proves helpful. 18 to 24-in. 
$5.50.

“‘lily-of-the-valley” flowers in terminal racemes tm 
late April or May. Of low-growing habit with rich

RHODODENDRONS 
Catawba Rhododendron (R. catawbiense). We have 
some very nice plants this year. This Rhododendron 
is the most reliable of all the species. In Northern 
Vermont it has blossomed after withstanding temper- 
atures of fifty below zero. The foliage is broad and 
healthy. Pink to red blossoms in June. 12 to 18-in. 
$5.00; 18 to 24-in. $6.00; 2 to 214-ft. $7.00. 
Carolina Rhododendron (R. carolinianum). This is 
the freest flowering of all the species, blossoming very 
profusely when young. The color is clear pink and 
it is the earliest to bloom, blossoming about the last 
of May. The foliage is smaller than other varieties. 
12 to 18-in. $5.00; 18 to 24-in. $6.25; 2 to 219-ft. 
$7.75. 
Great Laurel (R. Mazimum). This is the most north- 
ern species, being found growing ‘‘wild”’ in Northern 
New England, although as a matter of fact, the 
Catawba seems to withstand greater extremes of 
temperature. These should apparently be grown in 
some shade. Blossoms in July are white tinged with 
pink. 12 to 18-in. $4.00; 18 to 24-in. $5.00; 2 to 
2\4-ft. $6.25; 214 to 3-ft. $7.25. 
Rhodora (Rhodora canadensis). The native lavendar 
form of the Azalea family. Grows 3 te 4 feet in height 
in any acid soil. Excellent for naturalizing around 
pools or along the edges of woodland paths. 2 to 3-ft. 
$6.00. B&B.
