Nice, stocky little plants (see illus- 
tration) such as we shall be setting out 
this spring in nursery rows to be grown 
on to specimen size. They will be 
worth four to six times as much in 
three to four years. Here is a real 
opportunity to acquire expensive plants 
for your garden without the usual 
strain on your pocketbook. They all 
grow in light to quite dense shade and 
like a peaty, acid soil and a permanent 
mulch of pine needles or leaves from 
oaks or other hardwoods. Excellent 
interplanted with azaleas, ferns and 
many of the wildflowers. 
Catawba Rhododendron. Favorite species with 
wide, glossy green leaves and big, crimson blooms that 
change to wine-red or purple-red as they mature. 
Blooms in May and June. Grows about 7 feet high 
and broad. 
Mountain Laurel. “Calico Bush’’ of New England 
and the Appalachians. Pink and white, clustered 
flowers in late spring. The state flower of Connecticut 
and Pennsylvania. 
Junior Size Catawba Rhododendron 
Drooping Leucothoe. Glossy green foliage on grace- 
fully arching branches turns deep red for fall and 
winter. Racemes of white, bell-shaped flowers in 
early June. Foliage often used for winter decoration. 
Mountain Andromeda (Pieris). White “‘lily-of-the- 
valley’’ flowers in terminal racemes in late April or 
May. Leaves and shrub somewhat resemble moun- 
tain laurel, but both are smaller. Brightened in win- 
ter by green flower-buds.
