Pieris floribunda 
KALMIA (Laurel) 
As you know, Mountain Laurel is Connecticut's State 
flower; it grows wild here and in profusion. Most plants 
offered for sale are snatched out of the woods and few 
of them are well formed. We grow them from tiny seed- 
lings, well-spaced, to get their natural and beautiful 
spreading heads. We also propagate from seeds taken 
from natural and unusually beautiful hybrids in the woods. 
Our supply of saleable plants is very limited and at this 
time we are behind in filling orders. However, we suggest 
that you place your order now for future deilvery—you 
will be given priority. 
15 to 18 inches, $2.75 each 
ILEX (Holly) 
There is only one hardy Holly, Convexa, and it is as 
hardy as an oak. It is a choice evergreen with shiny 
boxwood-like leaves so thick the branches don’t show. 
(It does not have the conventional Christmas Holly leaf 
or red berries—that Holly is not hardy.) Convexa is a 
very bushy plant—it grows 4 feet high and about 3 feet 
across. It can’t be beat as an accent plant and it is ideal 
for small evergreen hedges. Each plant is shipped with 
a small ball of earth. 
18 to 24 inches, $4.00 each 
Convexa, 12 to 15 inches Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
HYBRID RHODODENDRONS 
These hybrids do not require shade, they do just as well 
in full sun. They do, however, require an acid soil—load 
it heavily with peat moss and leaf mold. When ordering 
these named hybrids, please specify color wanted —they 
come in shades of soft rosy lilac, white, lavender, bright 
red. Plant them in banks and either mix colors or keep 
three of a shade together. 
Named Hybrids, 12-15 inches $5.00
