FIRETHORN (Pyracantha coccinea lalandt), 
6 ft. While not in a strict sense an evergreen, 
this shrub does hold its foliage well into the 
Winter in a protected spot and its persistent 
orange fruits make it an ideal companion for 
evergreens. (Described more fully and priced 
on page 7). 
*AZALEAS. Many of these are on the border- 
line holding some of their leaves throughout 
the Winter. Notable in this respect are the 
A. kaempferi hybrids, A. amoena and A. hino- 
degiri. They combine well in the foundation 
planting and are mentioned here for that 
reason. (Described and priced on page 6).
